LAWRENCE — Computer science students at the University of Kansas will test their skills throughout the remainder of the semester with a series of races using self-driving model cars developed by Amazon Web Services.

The students in Andrew Williams’ Introduction to Artificial Intelligence class have spent the semester programming their cars and virtually testing the results using AWS’ DeepRacer, a cloud-based 3D racing simulator. For the races ongoing throughout the remainder of the spring semester, though, students have built a real track in the atrium of the School of Engineering’s LEEP2 building and are testing their AI programs using 1/18th-scale

ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot that can simulate human conversation and write code, will metamorphose application development — and the developer profession — into a different animal, according to industry experts.

More than 1 million users have signed up for ChatGPT’s free research preview since OpenAI released the chatbot on Nov. 30. The bot can write simple webpages and applications in programming languages ​​such as JavaScript, Python and React. It can also find bugs in code and help create new programming languages.

The model interacts in a conversational way and can admit its mistakes, answer follow-up questions, challenge incorrect premises and

For would-be quantum programmers scratching their heads over how to jump into the game as quantum computers proliferate and become publicly accessible, a new beginner’s guide provides a thorough introduction to quantum algorithms and their implementation on existing hardware.

“Writing quantum algorithms is radically different from writing classical computing programs and requires some understanding of quantum principles and the mathematics behind them,” said Andrey Y. Lokhov, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and lead author of the recently published guide in ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing. “Our guide helps quantum programmers get started in the field, which is bound

NEW YORK (AP) — In May 2018, the nation’s top Republicans needed help. So they called on the founder of Fox News, Rupert Murdoch.

“Both Trump and McConnell are appealing for help to beat unelectable former mine owner who served time,” Murdoch wrote to executives at Fox News, according to court records
