Pressure Grows in Congress to Treat Crypto Investigator Tigran Gambaryan, Jailed in Nigeria, as a Hostage

When Tigran Gambaryan was first invited in February to meet with the Nigerian government in order to settle a dispute with his employer, the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, Nigerian officials detained him against his will, stripped him of his passport, and told him he was a “guest” of the state. He's since been charged with financial crimes and jailed for months as a criminal suspect.Pressure is now mounting within the US Congress for the Biden administration to treat him as what his supporters argue he has been all along: a hostage, held illegally by an unaccountable foreign country.On Wednesday, US congressman…

Event-Aided Time-to-Collision Estimation for Autonomous Driving

Event-Aided Time-to-Collision Estimation for Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2407.07324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting a potential collision with leading vehicles is an essential functionality of any autonomous/assisted driving system. One bottleneck of existing vision-based solutions is that their updating rate is limited to the frame rate of standard cameras used. In this paper, we present a novel method that estimates the time to collision using a neuromorphic event-based camera, a biologically inspired visual sensor that can sense at exactly the same rate as scene dynamics. The core of the proposed algorithm consists of a two-step approach for efficient and accurate geometric model fitting on event data in a…

Biden introduces Zelenskyy as Putin in latest major flub

Biden introduces Zelenskyy as Putin in latest major flub

President Joe Biden introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Russian President Vladimir Putin in a cringeworthy moment at a NATO conference on Thursday.The inaccurate introduction is Biden's most recent flub amid increasing skepticism over the 81-year-old president's fitness for office, including from members of his own party."Now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination," Biden said. "Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin."Putin has waged a yearslong war in Ukraine after invading the neighboring country in February 2022.Biden quickly caught his mistake after mixing up the two leaders on…

Bucket Pre-training is All You Need

Bucket Pre-training is All You Need

arXiv:2407.07495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional performance across various natural language processing tasks. However, the conventional fixed-length data composition strategy for pretraining, which involves concatenating and splitting documents, can introduce noise and limit the model's ability to capture long-range dependencies. To address this, we first introduce three metrics for evaluating data composition quality: padding ratio, truncation ratio, and concatenation ratio. We further propose a multi-bucket data composition method that moves beyond the fixed-length paradigm, offering a more flexible and efficient approach to pretraining. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method could significantly improving both…

What is WebRTC protocol?

What is WebRTC protocol?

WebRTC or Web Real Time Communication protocol is an open source protocol and technology that enables real time communication directly between web browsers and webRTC enabled applications Using WebRTC you can do video calling, audio calling and data transfer between devices. This capability is implemented using a set of JavaScript APIs that enable video, audio and data transmission between devices. These APIs include ICE, STUN, TURN, NAT and SDP We are going to learn more about these protocols below ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) ICe is a protocol that is used to find the best path to reach devices that is…

OpenAI Researcher Says He Quit When He Realized the Upsetting Truth

OpenAI Researcher Says He Quit When He Realized the Upsetting Truth

A former OpenAI worker says he quit the company after realizing that it was putting safety on the back burner to pursue profit.During a recent episode of tech YouTuber Alex Kantrowitz's podcast, former Superalignment team member William Saunders used an apt analogy to explain why he left."I really didn't want to end up working for the Titanic of AI, and so that's why I resigned," he said. "During my three years at OpenAI, I would sometimes ask myself a question. Was the path that OpenAI was on more like the Apollo program or more like the Titanic?"Saunders argued that the…

Building a Winning Data Team: 6 Functions Needed for a Modern Enterprise Data Organization

Building a Winning Data Team: 6 Functions Needed for a Modern Enterprise Data Organization

In today’s data- and AI-driven world, chief data officers face the challenge of structuring an enterprise data team that is trusted by all stakeholders across the organization and delivers against business goals. Moreover, data leaders need to be able to clearly articulate to their stakeholders with whom they should communicate as well as when, where and why. To build an adaptable and effective team, data leaders should focus on the functions required to achieve business outcomes, rather than getting caught up in boxes on an org chart. Specifically, the process of crafting organizational charts can be tedious and uninspiring, but…

INSIGHT: Universal Neural Simulator for Analog Circuits Harnessing Autoregressive Transformers

INSIGHT: Universal Neural Simulator for Analog Circuits Harnessing Autoregressive Transformers

arXiv:2407.07346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analog front-end design heavily relies on specialized human expertise and costly trial-and-error simulations, which motivated many prior works on analog design automation. However, efficient and effective exploration of the vast and complex design space remains constrained by the time-consuming nature of CPU-based SPICE simulations, making effective design automation a challenging endeavor. In this paper, we introduce INSIGHT, a GPU-powered, technology-independent, effective universal neural simulator in the analog front-end design automation loop. INSIGHT accurately predicts the performance metrics of analog circuits across various technology nodes, significantly reducing inference time. Notably, its autoregressive capabilities enable INSIGHT to…
