Many would assume that the richest country in the world is one of the world's great powers, but this is far from the truth. In fact, you might be surprised to know that many of the wealthiest countries on Earth are also some of the smallest.A recent data report from Global Finance comparing the gross domestic product (GDP) of countries around the world revealed that Luxembourg is set to become the richest country in the world by 2024. Luxembourg's GDP per capita is $143,743 (around £109,820), making it more than twice as wealthy as the UK, whose current GDP per…
“The solution to continuous learning is literally a billion-dollar problem.”Learning GazeNew research has highlighted apparent flaws in AI models' ability to learn new information — or, as it turns out, they just can't learn at all.According to a study conducted by a team of scientists at the University of Alberta in Canada and published in the journal Nature this week, AI algorithms trained with deep learning (put simply, AI models such as large-scale language models built by finding patterns in large amounts of data) do not work in a “continuous learning environment,” that is, when new concepts are introduced to…
Adam Peters has not shown any regrets regarding the disposal of draft picks from the previous regime. He was not impressed with former head coach Ron Rivera's roster. He won't say it publicly, but his actions speak louder than words.The most recent example was the Commanders trading wide receiver Jahan Dotson after just two seasons. Unable to adapt to the new mindset, Peters traded him to division rival Philadelphia Eagles for a fifth-round pick, a third-round pick and two seventh-round picks. It was a shocking move and showed that no one is safe except for a select few.With just one…
What is a photograph? If your answer is “something taken with a camera, you idiot,” then thanks for joining us. But is that really the case? Because I doubt that in a few years a photo taken with a modern smartphone will be a photograph in any meaningful sense. It will be some kind of monstrous concoction that resembles a photograph but rewrites reality with the same subtlety that a Hollywood producer might “adapt” a wildly popular classic movie because he realized he didn't like the face of the lead actor. Or the location. Or the whole premise or story…

In honor of the Hall of Fame bourbon, we toast with two glasses of bourbon.Getty This is the second part of a series about the best bourbon in the world and whether such a thing even exists. To answer this question, we looked at the bourbons that won the most medals at the biggest liquor competitions of the past decade and compiled a second “Bourbon Hall of Fame” list of the most medaled bourbons. For space reasons, we limited the awards list to the top five. Not a week goes by without a spirits contest or whiskey magazine announcing the…
FRASCATI, Italy — I spent the Republican convention in Madrid and half of the Democratic convention in a picturesque Roman suburb, which is unusual: As a politics nerd, I was glued to the TV for both conventions for the last half century, and I haven't spent my whole life in Europe. This time, family commitments and work commitments brought me to the Mediterranean for the summer, so I was only able to watch games at odd hours and catch glimpses of the local news. But one thing has become clear from these experiences: American politics are front-page news in Europe…
Windows gaming handheld consoles have been a huge hit across the globe, with hardware companies going all out in this space to provide the best games for people who enjoy gaming on the go.But these devices have recently reached a whole new height with the Asus ROG Ally X, which I reviewed last month. I gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars, calling it “a fantastic mid-cycle refresh,” and even going so far as to say it's “the best Windows gaming handheld available.”In contrast, I also reviewed the MSI Claw this year, which was at the exact opposite end of…
