Can the Cowboys pull off upset against red-hot 49ers?

Can the Cowboys pull off upset against red-hot 49ers?

For two teams that aren’t in the same division, there’s a lot of history between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. There was “The Catch.” All those great games in the 1990s. Last season we had the 49ers going into Dallas on wild-card weekend and pulling off the upset. We remember the Cowboys’ weird decision to run a quarterback draw on the final play of that game. The 49ers got the upset win last year. This time, maybe it will be Dallas’ turn. It’s strange to see the… Source link

Watch Google’s ping pong robot pull off a 340-hit rally • TechCrunch

As if it weren’t enough to have AI tanning humanity’s hide (figuratively for now) at every board game in existence, Google AI has got one working to destroy us all at ping pong as well. For now they emphasize it is “cooperative,” but at the rate these things improve, it will be taking on pros in no time. The project, called i-Sim2Real, isn’t just about ping pong but rather about building a robotic system that can work with and around fast-paced and relatively unpredictable… Source link

Sky survive ugly Game 3 over Sun to pull one win from WNBA Finals return

Sky survive ugly Game 3 over Sun to pull one win from WNBA Finals return

It was ugly, just the way Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller wanted it. Maybe a little uglier than most others would have liked. But the No. 3 seed Sun couldn’t buy the first vowel in “offense” and lost the mightily messy Game 3 affair to the No. 2 seed Chicago Sky, 76-72, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on Sunday.
