Amazon GuardDuty has enhanced AWS CloudTrail log analysis thereby reducing the cost to customers. Cost reductions will vary by customer based on their volume of AWS CloudTrail logs. In particular, customers with high-volumes of global CloudTrail events will see the greatest net positive impact.

Today, we are excited to announce some important new capabilities for AWS DeepLens in addition to the ability to buy now on amazon.com .

There is a  very interesting article on scope probes by Doug Ford, originally published in Australian magazine Silicon Chip. Forgive me, but I had no idea that faster probes rely on their leads being lossy transmission lines. The link to the article is on this page – click on ‘The secret world of probes’. Thanks …

In a one-sided nuclear attack, however successfully it achieves its initial purpose, will also kill people in the launching country if too many warheads are detonated. 100 warheads is about right for maximum target destruction with minimum self-destriction, the the pragmatic if chilling finding, which sounds like a Cold War prediction, but is actually the …

Computer scientists from the University of Bonn have developed software that can predict human behaviour a few minutes into the future, demonstrated by asking ‘what happens next’ when people make salads. The training data included 40 videos of people making different salads, each around six minutes long and containing 20 different actions on average, lasting …

Non-centralised mutual control is key to a team of drones that can defend a place against attack, according to researchers in Saudi Arabia. Performance of the scheme was judged in a capture-the-flag game, where the team of defender drones worked together within a defined area to intercept a human-controlled intruder drone and prevent it from reaching …

STMicroelectronics’ AlgoBuilder tool is designed to simplify firmware development by letting users build sensor-control algorithms graphically with library modules, ready to compile and run on an STM32 microcontroller. To build algorithms designers can drag and drop selected functions, connecting the blocks, and configuring properties. The tool validates all design rules and automatically generates C code …
