The best dorm room essentials for college students

The best dorm room essentials for college students

A new college year is right around the corner, which means it’s time for a new batch of freshmen to live independently for the first time. If you’re among that group, it’s a good idea to stock up on a few essentials that’ll make your dorm room feel more like a (tiny) second home. We’ve rounded up a few dorm-friendly items we can safely recommend; this is Engadget, so expect a bunch of tech gear, but we’ve also got a few non-gadgets that can hopefully make student life less stressful, if only by a little bit.Will Lipman Photography for EngadgetI…

Scalable Learned Model Soup on a Single GPU: An Efficient Subspace Training Strategy

Scalable Learned Model Soup on a Single GPU: An Efficient Subspace Training Strategy

arXiv:2407.03641v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-training followed by fine-tuning is widely adopted among practitioners. The performance can be improved by "model soups"~cite{wortsman2022model} via exploring various hyperparameter configurations.The Learned-Soup, a variant of model soups, significantly improves the performance but suffers from substantial memory and time costs due to the requirements of (i) having to load all fine-tuned models simultaneously, and (ii) a large computational graph encompassing all fine-tuned models. In this paper, we propose Memory Efficient Hyperplane Learned Soup (MEHL-Soup) to tackle this issue by formulating the learned soup as a hyperplane optimization problem and introducing block coordinate gradient descent to…

Clean Architecture in Node.js: An Approach with TypeScript and Dependency Injection.

Clean Architecture in Node.js: An Approach with TypeScript and Dependency Injection.

A Clean Architecture What is clean architecture and why do we even care about it? The clean architecture approach is a software design pattern and a guideline proposed by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob). This architecture urges us to build a cleaner code and more structured code. So why do we care about it, why is it a good fit (at least, for me) to be used with a Node.js project, especially with TypeScript? While there is a catch like a more complex code and it may be overkill for some simple or some quick projects, we have some benefits…

Why we are hard-wired to feel ‘sunshine guilt’ — and what you can do to manage it

Why we are hard-wired to feel ‘sunshine guilt’ — and what you can do to manage it

Even if you don't live somewhere known for breaking rainfall records, you've probably seen the effects of "sunshine guilt," as it's called on TikTok. For instance, you might notice your co-workers flocking outside to eat lunch or friends posting about weekend plans involving hiking trails or a day at the beach.Sunshine guilt is when you feel anxious or guilty about staying inside and not enjoying a sunny day to the fullest. Maybe you'd prefer to lie in bed and read or watch TV instead of venturing outside or getting sand in body crevices you can't reach.What is sunshine guilt and…

Learning Action and Reasoning-Centric Image Editing from Videos and Simulations

Learning Action and Reasoning-Centric Image Editing from Videos and Simulations

arXiv:2407.03471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An image editing model should be able to perform diverse edits, ranging from object replacement, changing attributes or style, to performing actions or movement, which require many forms of reasoning. Current general instruction-guided editing models have significant shortcomings with action and reasoning-centric edits. Object, attribute or stylistic changes can be learned from visually static datasets. On the other hand, high-quality data for action and reasoning-centric edits is scarce and has to come from entirely different sources that cover e.g. physical dynamics, temporality and spatial reasoning. To this end, we meticulously curate the AURORA Dataset (Action-Reasoning-Object-Attribute),…

Applied Materials reveals chip wiring innovations for energy-efficient computing

We want to hear from you! Take our quick AI survey and share your insights on the current state of AI, how you’re implementing it, and what you expect to see in the future. Learn More Applied Materials has revealed chip wiring innovations that will help address challenges in the way of energy-efficient computing. The use of new materials in chip wiring will enable two-nanometer node manufacturing, where the width between circuits is around two billionths of a meter apart. These innovations will reduce resistance in wiring as much as 25% and new materials will reduce chip capacitance by up…

First look at Notepad’s Spell Checker: surprise, it is not as bad as it sounds – gHacks Tech News

First look at Notepad’s Spell Checker: surprise, it is not as bad as it sounds – gHacks Tech News

While Microsoft continues to kill some apps, including WordPad and Cortana, it is giving other classic apps some love. Notepad is one of these. After enabling tab-support and auto-saving, the Redmond-based company is now working on spell checking and AI features. The current status of the feature exists since April 2024. Microsoft rolled out an updated version of the Notepad app to Beta and Release Preview channels of Windows 11. Not all users have received the functionality by now, but it appears that the company is preparing for a release to the stable Windows population. The initial spell checking version…

ElevenLabs’ AI tool makes noisy background audio a thing of the past | KnowTechie

Background noise: the bane of every podcaster, YouTuber, and videographer’s existence. We’ve all been there – you’re in the middle of a great take, and then a siren blares past, your dog decides to bark loudly, or the air conditioning kicks in with a rattling hum. It’s frustrating, and it can totally ruin an otherwise great piece of content. That’s where ElevenLabs’ new AI Voice Isolator comes in. This free tool uses AI to remove unwanted background noise from your audio, leaving you with crystal-clear dialogue that sounds like it was recorded in a professional studio. The best part? It’s…
