stp2y0 CommentsNews

Extensions are one of the greatest strengths of web browsers. They allow users to extend functionality, but this comes at a cost. A test of the 5000 most popular Chrome extensions showed that extensions may slow down the browsing experience significantly, with one notable exception. The team at Debugbear analyzed the performance impact of Chrome extensions in various ways, including impact on CPU processing and website load time. Here are the key findings: Even on basic websites, some Chrome extensions added 500ms or more to the processing time. 86% of tested extensions have minimal impact on simple websites. 1.7% of…

Hannover Messe 2024: We’re All In This Together

The smart manufacturing world’s big event of the year, Hannover Messe, saw 130,000 visitors descend on the German city of Hannover last week. Numbers were reported as very similar to last year and still much lower than before the pandemic: Might this be the new normal for trade shows, as casual freebie-trawlers stay at home while more serious commercial prospects still value the opportunity to supplement their online research and webinar-watching with some intense face-to-face conversation? My immediate impressions were: China remains important to this European event. Chinese exhibitors were everywhere, running the gamut from tiny booths offering cheap industrial…

Unstructured

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Briefings highlight generational AI scaleups, startups, and projects. I was fortunate to have chatted with co-founder & CEO Brian Raymond. Read on to learn more about his unconventional path from constitutional design expert to AI, how Unstructured came to be, and why it is a generational company. Unstructured simplifies the process of converting unstructured data into a format usable for AI, specifically focusing on Large Language Models (LLMs). Users simply upload raw files containing natural language to Unstructured's API and receive back clean data, bypassing the need for custom Python scripts, regular expressions, or open-source OCR packages.Why Unstructured is a…

Prompting Fundamentals and How to Wield them Effectively

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Writing good prompts is the most straightforward way to get value out of large language models (LLMs). However, it’s important to understand the fundamentals even as we apply advanced techniques and prompt optimization tools. For example, there’s more to Chain-of-Thought (CoT) beyond simply adding “think step by step”. Here, I’d like to share some prompting fundamentals to help you get the most out of LLMs. Aside: By know we should know that we need reliable evals before doing any major prompt engineering. Without evals, how would we measure improvements and regressions? Here’s my usual workflow: (i) manually label ~100 eval…

Someone made a Flappy Bird tribute for the Playdate that lets you use the crank to fly

stp2y0 CommentsNewsgaming, news, playdate

Ah, Flappy Bird. It’s been a long time since I last gave any thought to the game-turned-cultural-phenomenon that briefly had us all in a chokehold a decade ago. At least, that was the case until this morning, when I stumbled upon a Reddit post announcing a Flappy Bird tribute for the Playdate and, without a moment’s hesitation, sideloaded it onto my device. Now here I am, absolutely hooked on this maddening little game once again. And, using the crank to control that silly looking bird, it's even harder this time around. FlappyBird by Chibisuke is free and available to download…

India to Build Chip Manufacturing Ecosystem, Talent Pool – EE Times

stp2y0 CommentsNews

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> India is known for its semiconductor design expertise, which has been successfully nurtured since the 1980s. However, manufacturing capability and capacity has been limited despite having built a fab as far back as 1983 in the form of Semiconductor Complex Limited (SCL), established by M.J. Zarabi, considered one of the pioneers of the current chip industry in India. The geopolitics of recent years have changed that inertia in developing the manufacturing ecosystem, and now there are several active efforts to build that capacity and resilience in the electronics and system…
