Fake news detector
05
Dec
The recent US elections, but also many others, have revealed a terrible way to c
ampaign politically, “planting” false news on fragile points of a certain politician.
Unfortunately social media, not to confuse with the networks of people, but only media, there are a large number of false news, there are already specialized websites denouncing them not only by the evil that do the particular person, but mainly to badly unmask a bad intentional..
They have come to the point of worrying companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter that try to create measures that combat these intentional lies, that is, they are only meant to confuse.
Now technologist Daniel Sieradski has developed a plug-in known as a BS Detector that indicates “questionable” sites that are used on Facebook and Twitter.
In Brazil, the site boos.org reveals, for example, rumors such as “video inside the airplane of the Chapecoense”, “clandestine cocaine factory in Bangu”, “NASA confirms land will have 6 days of darkness in December 2016” , etc. etc.
But we can take 3 simple steps to prevent us from propagating this false news: 1) even if it favors our position to investigate whether what we are reading is true and NEVER disclose it on impulse; 2) bombastic news will usually be confirmed in the press and wait for public agencies to confirm them, CONSULT PUBLIC SITES, and, 3) even if the news is true never divulge it in a way to cause PANIC.
The device created by Sieradski, as reported by the BBC News, puts a red stripe that reads: “This site is considered a questionable source,” and denies Mark Zuckerberg Facebook that it “would be unable to substantively address the proliferation of false news On its platform, “the plug-in already has more than 25,000 installations since launch.
BS Detector Sieradski says it will evolve: “I and other open source developers spend many more hours improving their functionality,” he told the BBC.
Dialogues with the Z generation
28
Nov
As the conversation with Generation Z is difficult, because they have millions 
of possibilities, facilities to access information and reject all kind of intolerance, inequality and closure, it is said in a very wrong way, that they do not dialogue, would it be true?
First of all, we have talked about these stigmata of the lost generation, baby boom generation, etc. Is very misleading, but I use this to tell the generation that is now in adolescence, that is, they were born post-millenium, that was born until the year 2000.
It has a multiplicity of information, when watching TV transiting through various channels, but it is as if searching for something that interests you and do not find, browse the Web, live connected, and through this participate in the media social networks, low content on the computer or in the Cell phone, play electronic games like they were real sports to date with the help of keyboard and mouse.
The enormous power of choice that has contrasts with adults we closed a universe monkey or b-choices, they are binary, and not the Web generation, and for this need not only cables and icons, but most important of all Need thinking, adults do not want to think because it is easier to impose.
For those who like sociological analysis, it is not the fort of this generation because they know enough, that is, we are in crisis, we can however delineate looking at some experts, suggest that because they are going through a Great Recession, our first great crisis
After the economic crisis of the Great Depression – but no greater, the Z-generation becomes dominated by a feeling of dissatisfaction and insecurity about the reality and future of the economy and politics, this generation is faced with a difference in income each time The world, and strong family stress for collections.
Cyberpolitics attracts a minority share, it is adults who harden in social networks, because in fact this is a “blocked generation” as the Portuguese sociologist João Teixeira Lopes calls it, according to several sociologists also.
The more we talk, the more we block them, they feel penniless, those who do not dialogue are adults who are so full of convictions and ideas that have already been overcome, this has led, even with the best of intentions, to adopt extremist attitudes, These are critical and without prejudice.
A simple recipe: true hear, real dialogue, lose their “certainties” and discovered wonderful young people full of creativity, however much I hear these words in the mouths of adults, they sound to me most of the time, something “of the mouth out”.
Trolls is not trolling
11
Nov
I went to watch the cartoon Trolls,
with my niece to disguise, much more childish than Frozen, the message is more interesting because it is collective and not Manichean.
The film is in second place at the box office behind “Doctor Stranger,” and I think it’s worth it for now, according to ComScore data, the premiere of “The Light Between Oceans” can change these positions.
The story of Trolls is a sad community that has the only hope of living happiness devouring the Trolls, there being a special day of trollicide (day of eating trolls), the analogies with economic empires and the vision of exploitation of peoples, who are actually happy, And this is already a non-Manichean vision, it is very interesting, just like the final proposal.
The DreamWorks film is directed by Mike Mitchell (director Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 (2011) and SpongeBob SquarePants: A Hero Out of Water (2015)) and Walt Dohrn (Shrek creators), screenplay by Glenn Berger and Jonathan Aib, the dolls Trolls appeared in commerce in 1958.
Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is an arrogant surgeon who, after losing his hands in a car accident, sets off on a quest for healing and ends up finding redemption as the greatest magician in the Marvel universe.
Doctor Derrickson is a director, and a team writes the script: S. Robert Cargill, Jon Spaihts, Joshua Oppenheimer, Thomas Dean Donnelly and Scott Derrickson himself.
The Web 4.0 emerges?
31
Oct
The initial impulse of Tim Berners-Lee to create in the mid-90´s a
protocol on the Internet (Web and Internet are different) was to spread more quickly scientific information, then we can say it was a Web-centered information.
The Web quickly became popular, then the growth of concern for the Semantic Web has Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila published the inaugural paper emantic Web: new form of Web content that is meaningful to computers will unleash a revolution of new possibilities further development there was designed as knowledge representation, ontologies, intelligent agents and finally an “evolution of knowledge.”
Web 2.0 had the initial feature interactivity (O’Reilly, 2005) where users become more free to interact in web pages and can tag, comment and share documents found online.
The article pointed the way of ontologies as a way “natural” for the development and add meaning to information in the Semantic Web, with methodologies from the Artificial Intelligence, which in the eyes of James Hendler (Web 3.0) went through a “winter” creative.
But three integrated tools just indicating a new path: ontologies helped build simple organization called knowledge schemes (SKOS – Simple Organization of Knowledge System), a database for consultation, with a language called SPARQL and what was already basic Semantic Web, which was the RDF (Resource description Framework) in its simple descriptive language: XML.
The first major project was the DBpedia, a database proposed by the Free University of Berlin and the University of Leipzig in collaboration with OpenLink Software project in 2007, which was structured around the Wikipedia, using 3.4 billion of concepts to form 2:46 RDF triples (resource, property and value) or more simply subject-predicate-object, indicating a semantic relationship.
There are several types of Intelligent Agents in development, little or no use “intelligence” of Web 3.0, there will be in the future new developments? We pointed out in a recent article Semantic Scholar Tool Paul Allen Foundation, but also the connection to the Web 3.0 (projects related to linked data) is not clear.
2016 definitely has not been the year of the Smart Web, or if you want the Web 4.0, but we are approaching, personal assistants (Siri, Cortana, the “M” of Facebook), home automation (Apple Homekit, Nest), recognition image and driverless cars are right there around the corner.
Home automation is the home smart features, this field AI grows fast.
Brasilia (DF) receives IT Congress

South America gets for the first time, the WCIT Brazil in 2016 
(World Congress of Information Technology), considered mega event in the IT field, the last was in Mexico (photo).
The 20th edition of the mega event, which takes place in Brasilia, started on Monday (3/10) and runs until tomorrow Wednesday, day 5.
The event this year’s theme is: will Promises of the digital age: challenges and opportunities, discussing technological advances and how society should prepare for the appropriate use of these new tools.
According to Humberto Bueno, director of Memora company and creator of the award WITSA Emerging Digital Solutions (Weds): “We are extremely excited to receive in Brasilia what we consider our Olympiad sector, discussing public and private policies that impact the digital world and the society”.
Brazilian society is not enthusiastic about the technology, so there is the obsolescence of technologies such as misuse of tools that could help the society in crisis.
The eento will be attended by entrepreneurs and academics in the industry from more than 80 countries, and connected global association World Information Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA) and organized by the Federation of Brazilian Information Technology Companies (National Assespro).
Co-creator of the technology essential to the functioning of the Internet (TCP), the mathematician Vinton Gray Cerf, will attend the event, and will speak on “unlimited Business: Internet in the XXI century” and the “Future of Work”.
The last edition of the event generated about $ U $ 95 million in business, is expected to arrive in Brazil to $ 100 million dollars, about R $ 340 million brazilian’s real.
And the iPhone 7?
26
Sep
According to the site Tech Times, the number of iPhone 7:07 Plus were
sold between 16 and 18 September was only three-quarters of sales of previous models iPhone 6S and 6S Plus in the previous corresponding period, this can mean two things: just the novelty effect or sales of Apple even collapsed for several reasons.
In another survey conducted by the consulting Morning Consult only 25% of consumers are actually willing to buy the new smartphone of the 33% that they were willing to buy the iPhone 6S, a year earlier.Overall the iPhone 7 is more simple and minimalist, a more clean interface, with less exaggerated icons working the strong Apple has always been the design.There is no more power or battery life, claims the headset for music are already large, there is also criticism of the malfunction after the airplane mode is activated, and a noise that would be bad fitting processor in the device.
For customers in Portuguese, says the translator Siri is smarter and more vocabulary, with fast processing for searches on Google, Twitter and other media networks, it is good to check.
The specification is is resistant to water splashes and dust (model Plus) and comes with the new 12MP cameras with wide angle lens and telephoto lens, A10 Fusion chip, new Retina HD display with wide tonal colors, and 32GB options, 128GB and 256GB (only this is new).
The precinho suggested US $ 649 (about R $ 2,080 in direct conversion without charges), a popular network “offer” is R $ 4,800.00 (U$ 1560), just to even some Brazilian´s peoples.
Social media and say nothing !
24
Aug
The media show that many people still use it improperly, to finish the
chef master program, which did not watch because cooking is a pleasure and an art, the chef Paola Corosella a judge yesterday finalized program, calls craft, but she also complained of insults, profanity, etc. who suffered for their options in the program.
What most surprises me is people who say nothing and saw celebrities, there are a lot of good is good to say, but I get at least three times many slogans of self-help, pocket spirituality and the like, do not tell me anything and it’s nice not complain, then more people come to send you the same messages.
Will Stephen was invited to participate in the famous TED programs to talk about anything, that first taste for the duration of maximum 20 minutes and then because they choose people who have what to say, I do not even like it, but I recognize someone who has something to say. He produced a fun program, and then says that guy because we are “attentive and eager to know everything about NOTHING or how to do, an uninteresting subject, subject to six minutes of pleasant thing,” here are six tips that he gave:
First I KNOW !!! No matter you are unsure, speak with absolute certainty what you are saying, many will watch and to become his followers. According gesture! His body language may appear to have convincing ability, emphasize information with gestures or changing the tone of speech, especially when talking about something that judges relevant.
After EI YOU !!! Interact with your audience, giving examples of personal or things of everyday life, it creates a relaxed mood and people can be Understanding NOTHING.
If it is difficult to assign a third NOT I AM I AM SAYING, say that the person is important and then repeat if necessary.
USE IMAGES, illustrious, create pictures, decorate the way of his speech, abusing of audiovisual resources, and last has RHYTHM, do your talks follow the ideas to completion.
But you can still be talking about ANYTHING, one will listen.
Augmented reality already in schools
23
Aug
The technology used by game Pokemon Go is already in many elementary
schools, augmented reality has been used to teach mathematics and geometry.
The system uses a made in augmented reality object and the software through a camera does appear on the computer screen a 3D element that students can follow the projection of the image on the screen from the wall.
In real classroom the teacher is second only a flat piece with a cube design, but on the screen of projection appears a 3D geometric element, seeing the constructed image is easier to just use your imagination to understand the geometric operations.
The Bandeirantes Vila Mariana´s College in São Paulo (South Zone) has adopted augmented reality and plan to use the resource in a multidisciplinary project from September.
But the goal goes further with a kind of home treasure throughout the school where the student sees the tablet in code spread across various parts of the school, and can conduct educational activities more playful mood.
The college Dante Alighieri, in the Jardins (West |one of São Paulo city), sent a message to parents alerting the exclusive use of the applications and not others “if demand is not strictly educational”, as published in newspapers of.
An application for adults is the Star Chart, available for Androids and iOS when open he sees aa star letter pointing your smartphone or table to heaven, the application will inform you that the stars or planets you have in the right direction even during the day when the stars are in heaven it is impossible to be seen, and it can extend up to 10,000 light years, so you can see nebulae and distant galaxies.
Pokémon Go and augmented reality
09
Aug
I arrive at my university to work and see a lot of students walking 
alone or in groups there here, I thought it is-new strike, some proof of selection for a course, but they were what are now being called pokeballs capturing Pokemons but the scene was new and curious.
Since the past decade’s work and augmented reality environments, I thought a more productive use, virtual museums, studies of physics, chemistry or astrophysics; but the games were the first major use, it has become a fever and fever.
He told me a student who is not only out and go capturing Pokémon, incubating eggs, there are several tactics and mechanics that can become a better player than the others.
He summarized that way: not disperdice pokeballs, Pokemons with yellow circles around are very strong, look different Pokemons in different environments, capture Pokemons repeated that it is easier, and need not be connected with the camera the whole time.
But back to augmented reality, the Brazilian Congress in the area have been around since the end of the last millennium and the pioneer Dr. P. Milgram explains that actually are 4 levels: augmented reality, augmented virtuality and virtual environment, such as the Pokemons are the first level we think that there will be at least 3 more new developments.
What comes next may be even more surprising, then I think it is here to stay.
