In a newly published paper, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) researchers propose a system for training and running AI models in a way that’s more environmentally friendly than previous approaches. They claim it can cut down on the pounds of carbon emissions involved to “low triple digits” in some cases, mainly by improving the computational efficiency of…
Android’s multitasking screen is getting some useful new tweaks in Android 11, and now, we’ve spotted another. Starting with Android 11’s third developer preview, you can now bring back or “undo” recent apps after they’ve been swiped away.
