stp2y0 CommentsNews

Google's tug of war with ad blockers continues. This time, Adblock Plus users are reporting that videos are automatically skipping to the end. This is not the first time YouTube has annoyed users who use a content blocker, the shenanigans began about a year ago, before Google officially announced its crackdown on ad blockers. The issues were soon sorted out by ad blockers, who blocked the prompts that were displayed by the streaming service, allowing users to protect their privacy and use YouTube ad-free. Are YouTube videos skipping to the end automatically if you use an ad blocker? The new…

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbrowser, Chrome, gear, google, news

Sometimes, having to open a link from within another app on mobile could be disruptive and take you away from the task you were trying to accomplish. Now an update for Chrome could help keep you focused with the task at hand. When you click on a link within Gmail, for instance, and open a Chrome tab within the app, you can tap on the chevron icon in the toolbar right next to the "x" or the close button to minimize the browser. That turns the open tab into a compact, floating picture-in-picture window that you can drag anywhere on…

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Deephaven's version 0.28 release brought some cool new features and improvements to client libraries. Perhaps the most exciting is the addition of multi_join to the Deephaven table API. With multi_join, you can accomplish what previously took several lines of code in a single line. Not only that, but it's way faster than the old way of chaining joins together.Multi-join is a new feature that joins three or more tables together. It's faster, much more memory efficient than the only alternative, and works all the same on static and dynamic data.In this blog, we'll compare performance of using multi_join and its…

Addressing the EU’s Stricter Standby Power Consumption Standards – EE Times

stp2y0 CommentsNews

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> Starting in May 2025, most household appliances sold in the EU must have a standby power consumption of less than 300mW, a significant reduction from the current 500mW limit. To help meet these stringent standards, Power Integrations (PI) has released a new application guide (AN-109) for designing small open-frame power supplies. This guide features PI’s LinkSwitch-XT2SR non-isolated flyback switching IC, which boasts up to 90% efficiency and a no-load power consumption of less than 5mW. As IC power consumption inevitably increases to support more powerful functions, the LinkSwitch-XT2SR ensures overall…

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG, pronounced 'rag') works by fetching selective data from a custom knowledge base and integrating it with the output of a language model to provide accurate and up-to-date responses.RAG can be defined as a ChatGPT-like interface that can use your pdfs, documents or databases to answer questions from you. You can use it as a study assistant to understand documents by asking questions about those documents. In this article, we discuss the benefits of using a RAG system and explain its key components. We also detailhow RAG works to enhance the capabilities of large language models by…

FunSearch: Making new discoveries in mathematical sciences using Large Language Models

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Research Published 14 December 2023 Authors Alhussein Fawzi and Bernardino Romera Paredes By searching for “functions” written in computer code, FunSearch made the first discoveries in open problems in mathematical sciences using LLMsLarge Language Models (LLMs) are useful assistants - they excel at combining concepts and can read, write and code to help people solve problems. But could they discover entirely new knowledge?As LLMs have been shown to “hallucinate” factually incorrect information, using them to make verifiably correct discoveries is a challenge. But what if we could harness the creativity of LLMs by identifying and building upon only their very…

Our New Conversational AI Forrester Wave™: GenAI And LLMs Drive A Vendor Revolution

stp2y0 CommentsNewschatbot, conversational AI, generative ai, LLM

Let me start by stating the obvious: Automation has its best home in the contact center. At many brands, agents make up 10% of the workforce. They are the face of your brand to your customers, providing critical empathy and solving important problems. Agents also spend a lot of time performing rote tasks for customers that really should not require a human. The cost of an automated interaction is generally about a tenth of the cost of a conversation with an agent. This cost differential provides gaudy ROI numbers, prompting brands to implement chatbots and interactive voice response (IVR) systems…
