Microsoft boosts Windows’ FAT32’s partition size limit after nearly three decades

Microsoft boosts Windows’ FAT32’s partition size limit after nearly three decades

Microsoft righted an age-old “wrong” (at least for those who geek out on disk formatting) earlier this week. With its latest Windows 11 Insider Canary Preview Build (via The Verge), the company increased the maximum FAT32 partition size limit from 32GB to 2TB when using the command line. The boost from the previous limit, which its creator thought would be limited to the lifespan of Windows NT 4.0, comes after 28 years.FAT32 isn’t widely used today. Even SD cards, the last holdout, have mostly moved to exFAT. (FAT32 has other limitations for the modern world, like a 4GB file size…

Embedded Systems 101: The Silent Powerhouses of Our Digital World

Embedded Systems 101: The Silent Powerhouses of Our Digital World

The technological advancements in this decade have been immense, transforming virtually every aspect of our lives. From the rise of smart devices to the seamless integration of artificial intelligence, we are witnessing a revolution that is reshaping the boundaries of innovation. At the heart of this transformation lies a powerful yet often overlooked component: embedded systems. Embedded systems are the unsung heroes behind the sleek interfaces of our smartphones, the precision of modern automobiles, and the efficiency of countless industrial processes. These specialized computing systems are designed to perform dedicated functions within larger devices, often operating quietly behind the scenes.…

LLaVA-Surg: Towards Multimodal Surgical Assistant via Structured Surgical Video Learning

LLaVA-Surg: Towards Multimodal Surgical Assistant via Structured Surgical Video Learning

arXiv:2408.07981v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (LLMs) have achieved notable success across various domains, while research in the medical field has largely focused on unimodal images. Meanwhile, current general-domain multimodal models for videos still lack the capabilities to understand and engage in conversations about surgical videos. One major contributing factor is the absence of datasets in the surgical field. In this paper, we create a new dataset, Surg-QA, consisting of 102,000 surgical video-instruction pairs, the largest of its kind so far. To build such a dataset, we propose a novel two-stage question-answer generation pipeline with LLM to…

Disney is betting big on cruises. This is why it needs to.

Disney is betting big on cruises. This is why it needs to.

If you had a genie, what would your three wishes be? If one includes going on a Disney cruise, you're in luck — you'll have more opportunities to do so soon.The most magical cruise line on Earth plans to stay busy over the next few years. On August 11, Disney Cruise Line announced an order for four ships to be delivered between 2027 and 2031 — on top of the four additional vessels already set to debut between December and 2029.These eight vessels would more than double Disney's five-ship fleet, all in the next seven years.Disney has yet to announce…

I-SHEEP: Self-Alignment of LLM from Scratch through an Iterative Self-Enhancement Paradigm

I-SHEEP: Self-Alignment of LLM from Scratch through an Iterative Self-Enhancement Paradigm

arXiv:2408.08072v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved significant advancements, however, the common learning paradigm treats LLMs as passive information repositories, neglecting their potential for active learning and alignment. Some approaches train LLMs using their own generated synthetic data, exploring the possibility of active alignment. However, there is still a huge gap between these one-time alignment methods and the continuous automatic alignment of humans. In this paper, we introduce textbf{I-SHEEP}, an textbf{I}terative textbf{S}elf-Entextbf{H}anctextbf{E}mtextbf{E}nt textbf{P}aradigm.This human-like paradigm enables LLMs to textbf{continuously self-align from scratch with nothing}. Compared to the one-time alignment method Dromedary cite{sun2023principledriven}, which refers to the…
