Google Strategist Quits, Slams Company’s AI Work as Motivated by Greed and Fear

"Stone-cold panic that they are getting left behind."To the RacesIn a very ticked-off LinkedIn post, a newly-retired Google strategist went off on his ex-employer for forcing AI down its workers' throats as it attempts to cash in on the latest tech trend."The 'AI Projects' I was working on were poorly motivated," wrote Scott Jenson, a former Google UX strategist, in a LinkedIn post, "and driven by this panic that as long as it had 'AI' in it, it would be great."On his profile, Jenson's other posts provide a bit of context for what those projects might have entailed as he…

YUI: Day-ahead Electricity Price Forecasting Using Invariance Simplified Supply and Demand Curve

YUI: Day-ahead Electricity Price Forecasting Using Invariance Simplified Supply and Demand Curve

arXiv:2405.14893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In day-ahead electricity market, it is crucial for all market participants to have access to reliable and accurate price forecasts for their decision-making processes. Forecasting methods currently utilized in industrial applications frequently neglect the underlying mechanisms of price formation, while economic research from the perspective of supply and demand have stringent data collection requirements, making it difficult to apply in actual markets. Observing the characteristics of the day-ahead electricity market, we introduce two invariance assumptions to simplify the modeling of supply and demand curves. Upon incorporating the time invariance assumption, we can forecast the supply…

Proteus Space raises seed funding for AI-assisted smallsat development

WASHINGTON — A startup has raised a seed round of funding to develop customized satellites with the assistance of artificial intelligence as an alternative to standardized buses. Los Angeles-based Proteus Space announced Oct. 10 that it raised a $4.2 million seed round led by Moonshots Capital. Other investors participating in the round included Lavrock Ventures, The Veteran Fund, Mana Ventures, AIN Ventures, Capital Factory and Industrious Ventures. Proteus will use the funding to advance its technology to enable rapid development of customized small satellites using AI, which the company argues can rapidly shorten the time to develop those satellites without…

Hasura debuts supergraph features to simplify complex API data integrations – SiliconANGLE

Hasura Inc., a startup that sells a commercial version of the popular open-source GraphQL data management language, today announced a key update to that platform, integrating “supergraph” technology that makes it easier for applications to access data from multiple sources. The company said Hasura V3 is available now in beta, touting a new “domain-centric supergraph modeling framework” that sets a new standard for application programming interface composability. In addition, it comes with a new, distributed supergraph execution engine and various open-source data connectors to help address some of the challenges of data and API integration. San Francisco-based Hasura’s flagship Data API…

Precise and Robust Sidewalk Detection: Leveraging Ensemble Learning to Surpass LLM Limitations in Urban Environments

Precise and Robust Sidewalk Detection: Leveraging Ensemble Learning to Surpass LLM Limitations in Urban Environments

[Submitted on 2 Apr 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Precise and Robust Sidewalk Detection: Leveraging Ensemble Learning to Surpass LLM Limitations in Urban Environments, by Ibne Farabi Shihab and 3 other authors View PDF Abstract:This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a robust ensemble model with the state-of-the-art ONE-PEACE Large Language Model (LLM) for accurate detection of sidewalks. Accurate sidewalk detection is crucial in improving road safety and urban planning. The study evaluated the model's performance on Cityscapes, Ade20k, and the Boston Dataset. The results showed that the ensemble model performed better than the individual models,…

Why the National Spelling Bee is more vital than ever in the age of AI

A question that I perennially encounter when I tell people that I am a professional spelling bee tutor is: “Why bother with spelling bees when we have spell check?” It’s an eminently understandable response, especially when it comes from people who have never watched a bee. Cell phones and computers have no problem storing the entire corpus of the English dictionary and consulting it at a moment’s notice. Like all games and sports, spelling bees aren’t strictly speaking necessary or useful – at least not in an immediately practical way. Yet questions about spelling bees’ utility (or lack thereof) miss…
