3 Ways to Use the @Lazy Annotation in Spring

3 Ways to Use the @Lazy Annotation in Spring

Does your Spring application take too long to start? Maybe this annotation could help you. This annotation indicates to Spring that a bean needs to be lazily initiated. Spring will not create this bean at the start of the application. Instead, it will create it only when the bean is requested for the first time. This allows Spring start-up to be faster. However, the first interaction with the bean can be slow because of the time required to create and inject the bean at runtime. You can use this annotation directly in the bean class (beans annotated with @Component and…

Adoption Of Cisco’s Hypershield Will Depend On AI And Security Tooling Coexistence

Cisco has announced a new network and cloud security platform, called Hypershield. Hypershield offers autonomous and automatic network segmentation based on understanding network traffic patterns with AI. Hypershield provides: A modified and proprietary version of the Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF)-based agent framework to act as not only a traditional observation point but also a network policy enforcement point in Windows and Linux operating systems. Virtualization hypervisor and container-level network policy enforcement points. Data processing units, which are hardware-accelerated embedded network policy enforcement points (available in the future). Smart Cisco hardware network switches. The above four enforcement point types all…

spaCy meets LLMs: Using Generative AI for Structured Data

spaCy meets LLMs: Using Generative AI for Structured Data

Large Language Models (LLMs) have enormous potential, but also challenge existing workflows in industry that require modularity, transparency and structured data. In this talk, I'll present pragmatic and practical approaches for how to use the latest generative models beyond just chat bots. I'll dive deeper into spaCy's LLM integration, which lets you plug in open-source and proprietary models and provides a robust framework for extracting structured information from text, distilling large models into smaller task-specific components, and closing the gap between prototype and production.

Engineering Considerations for Connectors in Medical Applications – EE Times

Engineering Considerations for Connectors in Medical Applications – EE Times

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> The medical device industry is highly regulated where products are cleared by the FDA before they can even be marketed. This process categorizes these devices into different classes (I, II, and III) and, depending upon the risk to the patient and operator, will either require more or less oversight and control via standards compliance. Along with the medical devices and equipment, specific types of connectors are often subjected to the same level of scrutiny. These connectors will require strict compliance with the IEC 60601-1 standards to prevent harm to either…
