Four new features for Google Photos

Byryan

Google is pushing their machine learning to new and interesting processes, and is now applying their AI to Google Photos.

New features

  • Google can now find older photos of recently photographed people, making it easy to remember those moments with friends and family.
  • Google photos can now put together an album of a subject of which you take a lot of photos. So, for example, if you take a lot of pictures of your car or child, Google will recognize the subject of the photo and put together some highlights.
  • Google will analyze video for action and create animations from the videos.
  • Google will analyze shots and offer to rotate photos that appear to have been taken at the wrong orientation.

Hands on programming without adding screen time

It sounds like a paradox. How can you teach computer programming without a screen? Computer programming is a term synonymous with coding, after all. Text, letters, syntax, arranged in meaningful sequences that give machines instructions. We code with our keyboards and we see code on our screens. But there is a clear distinction between coding…
