The best laptop you can buy in 2024

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
The laptop buzzword of 2024 is "AI PC" — notebooks that have neural processing units (NPUs) for AI-related tasks. But while it's smart to be aware of those systems, there are far more important things to consider beyond AI-savviness. It turns out buying a computer in 2024 isn't really that much different than in recent years: You'll still want to find something that balances power, weight and screen size with your computing needs.Out of the 10 notebooks we've reviewed in the first five months of 2024, we consider Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air M3 to be the best laptop for most…

Self-supervised Pretraining for Partial Differential Equations

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
[Submitted on 3 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Self-supervised Pretraining for Partial Differential Equations, by Varun Madhavan and Amal S Sebastian and Bharath Ramsundar and Venkatasubramanian Viswanathan View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In this work, we describe a novel approach to building a neural PDE solver leveraging recent advances in transformer based neural network architectures. Our model can provide solutions for different values of PDE parameters without any need for retraining the network. The training is carried out in a self-supervised manner, similar to pretraining approaches applied in language and vision tasks. We hypothesize that the model…

Context Propagation from Proposals for Semantic Video Object Segmentation

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.06247v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel approach to learning semantic contextual relationships in videos for semantic object segmentation. Our algorithm derives the semantic contexts from video object proposals which encode the key evolution of objects and the relationship among objects over the spatio-temporal domain. This semantic contexts are propagated across the video to estimate the pairwise contexts between all pairs of local superpixels which are integrated into a conditional random field in the form of pairwise potentials and infers the per-superpixel semantic labels. The experiments demonstrate that our contexts learning and propagation model effectively…

Icelandic Frumtak Ventures closes fourth fund at $87M

stp2y0 CommentsNews
Iceland-founded early-stage investor Frumtak Ventures has raised an $87M fourth fund, named Frumtak IV. While being sector-agnostic, the fund has previously placed most of its investments in B2B SaaS startups at the seed or Series A stage. The investors’ focus will be on companies that operate at the intersection of software, AI, and deeptech in industries playing on Iceland’s historical strengths in areas such as ocean tech and logistics, healthcare, travel, energy, climate, and gender equality. International attention is starting to flow to Icelandic companies and uplifting an emerging innovation sector renowned for its resilience. Iceland’s startup ecosystem now boasts the…

CodeUpdateArena: Benchmarking Knowledge Editing on API Updates

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2407.06249v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used to synthesize and reason about source code. However, the static nature of these models' knowledge does not reflect the fact that libraries and API functions they invoke are continuously evolving, with functionality being added or changing. While numerous benchmarks evaluate how LLMs can generate code, no prior work has studied how an LLMs' knowledge about code API functions can be updated. To fill this gap, we present CodeUpdateArena, a benchmark for knowledge editing in the code domain. An instance in our benchmark consists of a synthetic API…

Ensuring Cybersecurity in the Age of IoT

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
The Internet of Things (IoT) can be defined as a shift in the interaction with technology. Every home appliance, automobile, wearable gadget, and industrial device from thermostats to sensors connected to the world wide web, IoT consists of infinite possibilities and opportunities. Thus, it can be stated that while the world is becoming more connected, there are numerous cybersecurity risks in this process. Security is an essential factor with IoT devices and networks since they are likely to contain such vital information as well as being vulnerable to such attacks. The following are the foremost difficulties in IoT cybersecurity: Device…

US officials announce the takedown of an AI-powered Russian bot farm

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , ,
US officials and their allies have identified and taken down an artificial intelligence-powered Russian bot farm comprised of almost 1,000 accounts, which spread disinformation and pro-Russian sentiments on X. The Justice Department has revealed the the scheme that was made possible by software was created by a digital media department within RT, a Russian state-controlled media outlet. Its development was apparently led by RT's deputy editor-in-chief back in 2022 and was approved and funded by an officer at Russia's Federal Security Service, the main successor of the KGB.In a cybersecurity advisory issued by the FBI, intelligence officers from the Netherlands…
