Major projects bill amended to remove cabinet power to sidestep Indian Act – National

Cognitive aspects at age 7 months may help predict ability at age 30: Study

Cognitive aspects at age seven months -- such as being able to stay on task or if an infant prefers new toys -- could predict cognitive ability at age 30, a new study has found. General cognitive ability, known widely as `intelligence` or `IQ`, is a composite score that measures one`s capacity to learn, reason, understand and solve problems. IQ is considered to remain constant between ages 11 and 90. Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder in the US, however, said that little is known about the stability of intelligence under age three and how it is related to cognitive ability as an adult. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), looked at over 1,000 twins, measuring general cognitive ability at ages under two, three, seven, 16 an...

Four Things I Do to Make My Google Nest Devices More Useful

I've been using Google Nest speakers since they were still called Google Home, back when the company was handing them out like candy. Over the years, I've mostly stuck to the basics of using the smart speakers to set timers, control lights, and get quick answers to random questions, but even carrying out those simple tasks is not without frustration. Part of the challenge of these devices is how particular they are about how you speak to them, but I've learned a few tricks that make it easier.Smart speakers in general are in a bit of an awkward phase right now. Most are still stuck with software that can only understand a handful of very specific phrases, and can get stuck if you don't phrase a question or request just so. Meanwhile, LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are somehow able t...
