As you can tell, this is a more basic system that does not include a breakout box, which means this will be a strictly portable, single player system.

Photographer Albert Dros realized you don’t need to travel all over the world to capture amazing photographs, simply choose a beautiful location, and photograph it throughout the year. “I started looking for compositions everywhere and I now have a bunch of spots that I’d like to revisit. I am always surprised that these spots almost never look the same. This is an example of a tree lane about 5 minutes drive from my house. There are 7 shots taken throughout the year in different seasons and different times of the day. Even during specific seasons with only a few days difference, things can look totally different in a photograph,” said Albert. continue reading for more pictures.

According to official government records, the last time man ever set foot on the Moon was back in December 1972, when Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent three days on the lunar surface. What most don’t know is that more Apollo missions were originally planned - Apollo 18, 19 and 20 – all of which were already in the construction and / or in the latter planning stages when they were cancelled in 1972 supposedly due to declining public interest and budget cuts. That was seemingly the case until 2007, when astronaut William Rutledge posted a video to YouTube claiming it to be from the secret Apollo 20 mission. Rutledge claimed Apollo 20’s goal was to explore the polar region of the Moon, on its dark side, and in particular a miles-long crashed spacecraft.
NVIDIA researchers have developed an AI-based system that can look at an image of a sunny road, and imagine it in extreme detail, what it would look like if it were raining, nighttime, or even a snowy day. This software utilizes a new approach in AI that enables computers to learn without human intervention, or in other words, generative adversarial networks (GANs), which are neural networks that work together to learn the properties of a data set. Continue reading to see the day to night transition video (left is reality, and right is AI).
