    The AI detects when the machine’s about to freeze up and make noise, so it automatically defrosts before things get loud.

    Are we using “AI” to describe microcontrollers now?

    Have a machine run something at a certain temperature (or range of temperatures) is about the simplest thing to program.

    Ultrasonic chef’s knife

    3 years ago I wrote a cyberpunk novel for NaNoWriMo. In it, one of the hoodlums was waving around a “compu-knife”. A knife that you have to pair to a smartphone app over Bluetooth, or it won’t work.

    All together now: Cyberpunk was meant to be a warning, not just an aesthetic.

    (I know, I know, the article doesn’t say the knife needs to be paired to an app. I feel lucky about guessing it does though)

      It doesn’t. The knife is actually really, really cool. I’d heard about it a few months ago and if I had the disposable cash, I’d by one.

    Will the knife spray particles all over the place? Or perhaps vaporize liquids on meats, basically aerosolize salmonella?
