The Follow 📰
[1] Slamcore, a spatial intelligence company that gives situational awareness to robots, drones, machines and VR/AR headsets, is betting that its AI-powered localization and mapping smarts will play a big part in powering the self-navigating machines of the future.
Founded in London in 2016, Slamcore has developed AI algorithms that serve to answer three main questions that a moving machine may need to be answered: Where am I in 3D space? What are the objects around me? And where are the objects around me?
In a busy warehouse, for example, people and objects interact with each other constantly — from pickers and packers to forklift trucks and pallets. Throwing autonomous machines into such an environment could lead to major issues and accidents. Thus, simultaneous localization and mapping — or SLAM, as it's known in industry parlance — is a long-established computational issue focused on how to get autonomous systems to move around an environment without bumping into other things.
"For far too long, robots have not been able to navigate physical spaces with the level of accuracy and efficiency that we know is possible," Slamcore founder and CEO Owen Nicholson said. >> Read more.
[2] Dell Technologies wants to make its APEX storage cloud platform a de facto ground zero for all cloud app development, which is where the bulk of enterprise IT creation is headed in 2022 and beyond. 
At Dell Tech World in Las Vegas, the company's first mostly-in-person conference since the pandemic hit in spring 2020, the Black Rock, Texas-based company today introduced a flotilla of new capabilities for the APEX development package – the most important of which is a revamped cyber recovery function that filled a big need in the package.
Just when you thought you had seen every "as-a-service" idea that could be imagined, APEX  brings to the fore a cloud service offering that amounts to a "portfolio-as-a-service."
Dell is bolstering the portfolio with the introduction of Dell APEX Cyber Recovery Services. This is the first in a series of new APEX full-stack solutions that provide full recovery of a company's data from a cyberattack, Dell APEX chief Pete Manca told VentureBeat. >> Read more.
[3] Every organization with a devops framework is expected to have a DevSecOps mindset for sustainability's sake. While devops has established itself as an effective software development methodology, DevSecOps comes in with a better strategy to ensure security throughout the software application development and operations lifecycle.
According to research, roughly half of organizations knowingly release risky code due to deadline constraints. When security is not integrated into every phase of the development process, it resulted in bottlenecks that slowed down both new application rollouts and old program updates.
DevSecOps practices can help enterprises improve security, compliance and development discipline without losing code quality. According to a survey, 96% of respondents agreed that automating security and compliance operations, which is a major DevSecOps principle, would improve their organization. >> Read more.

Data used to train AI contain harmful & offensive content. As researchers & data practitioners, we need to research & communicate these w/out inadvertently propagating harm/distressing readers & minimal emotional toll to researcher. We look at this previously unexplored topic.

1/ Predicting the future of military technology is difficult. This 2006 cover page from Defense Technology International magazine tried to imagine the future soldier. We are now two years past the 2020 estimate and are nowhere close to that futuristic image. https://t.co/wdNFNRinmD
The biggest misconceptions about the metaverse
On This Day 📆
This week in tech history, May 3, 1978, the first known case of spam was sent and documented, marking the beginning of 44 years of pesky bulk emails that weren't asked for. Infamously released by a man named Gary Thuerk, who was marketing the DECSYSTEM-20 computer, the spam email — unsurprisingly — caused backlash and disgruntled responses. Some recipients reported that the spam message even crashed their computers entirely. 
The historic, unsolicited email marketing message is preserved as are some negative responses to it, which you can still view.
