More Nvidia 6800 Video Card Previews

By Ian Bell Published April 17, 2004

Quote from the preview at HardwareZone:

“This is the sixth generation of GeForce series and it has significant advances in features and hardware capability over the fifth generation. It is so well equipped that it greatly eclipses the advancements made back then when GeForce FX 5800 Ultra (NV30) was made available. NVIDIA had been working hard with many key industry partners and game developers all through the design of their GeForce 6xxx series to firm its features and capabilities. If you recall the debut of the original GeForce series, it touted the first Transformation and Lighting (T&L) engine on a graphics card as a big breakthrough. In those days, hardly any games took advantage of this feature until a very much later timeframe. ”

“Yesterday brought us a series of presentations held by NVIDIA and its partners worldwide. The Taiwan event was interesting because it gathered most NVIDIA partners, which showcased “live” cards or their prototypes. Our friends from Hong Kong VR-Zone made a nice video report and we now offer you its most interesting excerpts.”

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

Canva enters the AI image generation race with Craft, and it’s thinking beyond pretty pictures

The new model plans layouts before generating images, with precise editing and support for 30 aspect ratios.

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.
