Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has chosen former critic JD Vance as his vice-presidential nominee. Vance, a 39-year-old Ohio Senator and author, was confirmed as VP pick by RNC delegates.
Despite past criticisms of Trump, Vance has become a strong supporter. After winning his Senate seat with Trump's endorsement in 2022, Vance is now attacking Joe Biden, calling him an "incapacitated president" and accusing Democrats of lying about Biden's health.

Google Uses AI to Add , Over 100 New Languages to Translate.
Google Translate continues to get better,
as the company has used AI to add 110 new languages to the feature, Engadget reports. .
According to Google, the new languages represent over 600 million speakers,
or 8% of the worldwide population. .
Google referenced its LLM, PaLM 2, as "a key piece to the puzzle, helping Translate more efficiently learn languages that are closely related to each other," .
... "including languages close to Hindi, like Awadhi and Marwadi, and French creoles like Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole.".
Isaac Caswell, senior software
engineer for Google Translate, issued
a statement about the development.
As technology advances, and as
we continue to partner with expert
linguists and native speakers, we'll
support even more language varieties
and spelling conventions over time, Isaac Caswell, senior software engineer
for Google Translate, via Engadget.
The last time Translate had a sizeable number of languages added to it was in May of 2022.
At the time, the company utilized the help of Zero-Shot Machine Translation, which
"allows a model to learn a new language" without viewing examples, Engadget reports. .
Later in 2022, Google announced its
1,000 Languages Initiative.
The Initiative seeks to develop AI models that can learn the 1,000 most common languages spoken around the world. .

On June 6, Mark Gurman from 'Bloomberg' reported that Apple intends to build next-gen iPhones and Macs with a built-in password management app.
The new app will be called Passwords, Engadget reports.
The app will be revealed at the
Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
While Apple already offers password
services via the iCloud Keychain.
it can be tedious to find
or change passwords with it.
A dedicated passwords app would make the whole process easier and likely encourage some people to stick with Apple.
Similarly to subscription password managers 1Password and LastPass, Apple's app will
split passwords into categories.

High tech farms are no longer unusual in Singapore. In fact they have been sprouting up like mushrooms over the past five years. While many of the innovative farms in the city state still have to become profitable, a vertical shrimp farm has achieved price parity with coastal aquaculture ponds in Indonesia or Vietnam. This is thanks to an AI operated system which controls day to day operations.

Researchers Use Machine Learning , to Understand How , Elephants Communicate.
'BGR' reports that communication
among elephants may be more complex
than scientists previously believed.
New evidence suggests that elephants
possess unique names which are
used to address specific elephants.
The study, made possible with the help
of machine learning, was published in
the journal 'Nature Ecology and Evolution.'.
Machine learning was used to help researchers
analyze hundreds of wild elephant calls,
searching for three specific "rumbles.".
These rumbles, which include a greeting, a caregiving
gesture and a contact calling sound, are the primary
form of communication used among elephants.
Other animals are known to refer to their peers
by name. Both dolphins and parrots address
each other by mimicking the receiver's voice.
Other animals are known to refer to their peers
by name. Both dolphins and parrots address
each other by mimicking the receiver's voice.
Elephants, on the other hand, use a more
abstract approach which is more closely
related to the way humans communicate.
Researchers believe the findings could
suggest that elephants are capable of abstract
thought, which would make them much
more intelligent than previously believed.
It remains unclear whether each individual
elephant has its own unique name, or if
they somehow share names or titles.

to decode nature's mysteries. Another study used AI
to begin unraveling the secret language of dogs. .
