Between Waze’s poor ratings on the Play Store, a robot capable of walking created by an AI and a gigantic explosion in space, we didn’t have time to be bored in the tech world yesterday. Small summary of the information to remember.
Waze alienates many users
“It was better before”: this is what many users seem to think regarding Waze. Lately, the GPS application has been collecting one-star ratings on the fly. The cause is far too many bugs, but above all, the reaction time on the part of the developers to correct them. Some say they have been stuck with a bug for more than a month, while others complain of having been led into too dense traffic. In the middle of all this, the application is equipped with features that are not very useful. Enough to generate discontent, without lowering Waze’s overall rating, currently at 4.2/5.

The robot apocalypse may be closer than we think
Robots that know how to make themselves, is there reason to be a little worried? Not really, because we are still far from a Terminator invasion. However, a team of researchers has presented a major advance in the field. In just 26 seconds and around ten tries, their AI managed to create a robot capable of walking on its own. To do this, it is connected to a pump which allows it to inflate and deflate repeatedly, which, thanks to its particular shape, allows it to move at the same speed as a human (in proportion to its size) .

But what is this huge explosion in space?
This is the question that the scientific community has been asking itself for several days. Indeed, the Hubble telescope observed an LFBOT (Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient) some 3 billion years away, in other words a flash of light 100 times more powerful than a supernova. At present, two theories seem convincing. On one hand, it might be a star swallowed up by a medium-sized black hole. On the other, two neutron stars might have collided.
