Meater’s Pro XL uses four of its updated wireless probes to monitor your grill with WiFi

Wireless food probes are some of the best grill tools you can buy. The devices allow you to keep tabs on temperatures without having to maneuver around cables when you need to flip meats or move things around. Meater is one of the popular choices when it comes to wireless probes, and the company's Meater 2 Plus introduced better accuracy and longer range in a more durable probe construction that fully waterproof. Now the company returns with the four-probe Pro XL that uses those updated components in a WiFi-enabled cooking hub.Meater has gone the four-probe route before with its Meater…

Taking a break for just five seconds could help diffuse an argument with your partner, scientists say: ‘Cheaper than couples therapy’

Taking a break for just five seconds could help diffuse an argument with your partner, scientists say: ‘Cheaper than couples therapy’

Taking just a five-second break during an argument could help couples stop conflict in its tracks, according to a study.Researchers found that when couples were forced to take a short break from a competitive game in a study, their negative emotions and aggression eased.Couples also tended to match each other's level of aggression during the game, the study said, but the enforced break disrupted this pattern of retaliation and resulted in them being less aggressive. The findings were published August 7 in the Nature journal Communications Psychology.Lead author Annah McCurry, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of St Andrews School…

Alphabet Shares Face Months of Uncertainty on New Breakup Risk

Alphabet Shares Face Months of Uncertainty on New Breakup Risk

Alphabet Inc. investors are facing a long period of uncertainty as they grapple with a scenario they previously saw as unlikely: a possible breakup of Google.A bid to break up Google is being considered by the Justice Department, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday, with the most likely units for divestment the Android operating system and the Chrome web browser. The news surprised Wall Street, which had seen a breakup as unlikelyBloomberg Terminal even after a federal judge ruled earlier this month that Google has illegally monopolized the search market.

The Ultimate Free API Client for 2024

The Ultimate Free API Client for 2024

APIs have become essential in applications because they enhance development efficiency and facilitate connections between various services. Applications must ensure that APIs function correctly through transmission/reception tests and robustness evaluations. In these scenarios, an API client is necessary. What is an API Client? Before selecting an API client, developers must grasp the fundamental concepts of APIs and how they operate. Typically developed and maintained by service providers, APIs define how to access and manipulate services via network requests. They can be RESTful APIs, SOAP APIs, or other types, each with its own standards and protocols. An API client can manifest…

More Early-Stage Startups Are Getting Minted As Unicorns

More Early-Stage Startups Are Getting Minted As Unicorns

Just as it looks like the pace of creating new unicorns is once again picking up, so is minting them in earlier stages of funding. Through July, 70 new unicorns — private companies valued at $1 billion or more — had been minted. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, 28 of those companies were granted their unicorn horn after an early-stage funding round — defined as seed, Series A or Series B — an analysis of Crunchbase data shows. That is only one shy of the 29 young unicorns created through all of last year — although still significantly off the pace in…

A Novel Spatiotemporal Coupling Graph Convolutional Network

A Novel Spatiotemporal Coupling Graph Convolutional Network

arXiv:2408.07087v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dynamic Quality-of-Service (QoS) data capturing temporal variations in user-service interactions, are essential source for service selection and user behavior understanding. Approaches based on Latent Feature Analysis (LFA) have shown to be beneficial for discovering effective temporal patterns in QoS data. However, existing methods cannot well model the spatiality and temporality implied in dynamic interactions in a unified form, causing abundant accuracy loss for missing QoS estimation. To address the problem, this paper presents a novel Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs)-based dynamic QoS estimator namely Spatiotemporal Coupling GCN (SCG) model with the three-fold ideas as below. First,…

Google advances mobile AI in Pixel 9 smartphones

Google advances mobile AI in Pixel 9 smartphones

Google has unveiled its new range of Pixel 9 smartphones, emphasising their enhanced AI capabilities. The company released the devices much earlier than usual, as Google typically presents new Pixel models in the autumn. However, compared to previous versions, the changes in the new models are revolutionary. The new smartphones feature more advanced integrations of Google’s AI technology. For instance, one unique Pixel feature allows users to search for information and images within their screenshots, thanks to a more deeply integrated approach. Additionally, through the Gemini chatbot, some features of these smartphones are available as overlays from other apps. At…

SeLoRA: Self-Expanding Low-Rank Adaptation of Latent Diffusion Model for Medical Image Synthesis

SeLoRA: Self-Expanding Low-Rank Adaptation of Latent Diffusion Model for Medical Image Synthesis

arXiv:2408.07196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The persistent challenge of medical image synthesis posed by the scarcity of annotated data and the need to synthesize `missing modalities' for multi-modal analysis, underscored the imperative development of effective synthesis methods. Recently, the combination of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) with latent diffusion models (LDMs) has emerged as a viable approach for efficiently adapting pre-trained large language models, in the medical field. However, the direct application of LoRA assumes uniform ranking across all linear layers, overlooking the significance of different weight matrices, and leading to sub-optimal outcomes. Prior works on LoRA prioritize the reduction of trainable…

Observability in LLMOps: Different Levels of Scale

Observability in LLMOps: Different Levels of Scale

Observability is key to successful and cost-efficient LLMOps. The demand for observability and the scale of the required infrastructure vary significantly along the LLMOps value chain. Training foundation models is expensive, time-consuming, and happens at a scale where infrastructure failures are inevitable, making fine-grained observability a core requirement. Developers of RAG systems and agents benefit from tracing capabilities, allowing them to understand the interplay between components and assess the responses to user requests. The distributed structure of agentic networks adds another level of complexity, which is not yet addressed fully by LLM observability tools and practices. Observability is invaluable in…
