Plant sensors could act as an early warning system for farmers

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Using a pair of sensors made from carbon nanotubes, researchers from MIT and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) have discovered signals that reveal when plans are experiencing stresses such as heat, light, or attack from insects or bacteria.The sensors detect two signaling molecules that plants use to coordinate their response to stress: hydrogen peroxide and salicylic acid (a molecule similar to aspirin). The researchers found that plants produce these molecules at different timepoints for each type of stress, creating distinctive patterns that could serve as an early warning system.Farmers could use these sensors to monitor potential threats…

What We’ve Learned From A Year of Building with LLMs

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Recently, a couple friends and I threw around the idea of writing about our experience with LLMs and AI Engineering (image below). One thing led to another and that’s how this three-part series came about. Here, we share our hard-won lessons, and advice to make it easier. This is also cross-posted on O’Reilly. We hope you’ll find it useful! Behind the scenes of how this write-up started It’s an exciting time to build with large language models (LLMs). Over the past year, LLMs have become “good enough” for real-world applications. The pace of improvements in LLMs, coupled with a parade…

Creating ticking tables with pure Python functions | Deephaven

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Creating and manipulating ticking tables is the bread and butter of the Deephaven experience. The wide array of table operations offered by the Python API enables real-time data manipulation and analysis at scale. So, it needs to be really easy to create a Deephaven table, and we need to be able to create one from many different kinds of data sources. With the introduction of function-generated tables, this has never been simpler.Function-generated tables allow you to write arbitrary Python functions for retrieving and cleaning data and use the results to populate a ticking table. The function is then re-evaluated at…

stp2y0 CommentsNews

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology is essential for modern society, as it plays a vital role in the global economy, critical industries, and emergency response services. However, this technology that is in everything from smartphones, to cars, to airplanes, and more was first invented more than 50 years ago and is easily susceptible to jamming and interference – making this 20th-century technology obsolete in the 21st century. While this might sound trivial, unreliable GNSS is a much bigger issue than the map in your smartphone being off by a…
