Better Prompts: Unlocking the Full Potential of AI

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, productivity, promptengineering, software

When you interact with AI models, the quality of the response depends largely on how well you frame your request. If you’re not getting the best responses, it’s not necessarily the AI’s fault — it might be time to refine your prompt. This process, known as “prompt engineering,” is about asking questions and giving instructions to make it easier for the AI to understand exactly what you want. In this post, we’ll explore how better prompts always lead to better results, with easy-to-understand examples on topics like effective emails, travel planning, and more. What is a Prompt? A prompt is…

How to mitigate security issues in GenAI code and LLM integrations

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, codesecurity, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, node, software

GitHub Copilot and other AI coding tools have transformed how we write code and promise a leap in developer productivity. But they also introduce new security risks. If your codebase has existing security issues, AI-generated code can replicate and amplify these vulnerabilities. Research from Stanford University has shown that developers using AI coding tools write significantly less secure code, and this logically increases the likelihood of such developers producing insecure applications. In this article, I’ll share the perspective of a security-minded software developer and examine how AI-generated code, like that from large language models (LLMs), can lead to security flaws.…

OpenAI Announces a Model That ‘Reasons’ Through Problems, Calling It a ‘New Paradigm’

stp2y0 CommentsRAG modelsai, artificial intelligence, openai

OpenAI made the last big breakthrough in artificial intelligence by increasing the size of its models to dizzying proportions, when it introduced GPT-4 last year. The company today announced a new advance that signals a shift in approach—a model that can “reason” logically through many difficult problems and is significantly smarter than existing AI without a major scale-up.The new model, dubbed OpenAI-o1, can solve problems that stump existing AI models, including OpenAI’s most powerful existing model, GPT-4o. Rather than summon up an answer in one step, as a large language model normally does, it reasons through the problem, effectively thinking…

Nevada will use Google AI to process a backlog of unemployment cases

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, gear, google AI, Nevada, news

Nevada has a new helper in its quest to plow through a backlog of unemployment claims: Google AI. Gizmodo reports that the initiative will task one of the company’s cloud-based AI models with analyzing appeals hearing transcripts and suggesting whether cases should be approved. Welcome to the future, where a robot weighs in on whether you get the government money you requested.The Nevada Independent wrote in June that the AI model, trained on the state’s unemployment law and policies, will analyze transcripts of virtual appeals hearings. It will then spit out a ruling, which a state employee will review for…

Adobe previews AI video tools that arrive later this year

stp2y0 CommentsNewsadobe, adobe firefly, ai, gear, generative ai, news, video

On Wednesday, Adobe unveiled Firefly AI video generation tools that will arrive in beta later this year. Like many things related to AI, the examples are equal parts mesmerizing and terrifying as the company slowly integrates tools built to automate much of the creative work its prized user base is paid for today. Echoing AI salesmanship found elsewhere in the tech industry, Adobe frames it all as supplementary tech that “helps take the tedium out of post-production.”Adobe describes its new Firefly-powered text-to-video, Generative Extend (which will be available in Premiere Pro) and image-to-video AI tools as helping editors with tasks…

Google’s AI-powered Photos upgrades are beginning to trickle in. Ask Photos, the Gemini-powered chatbot that lets you get ultra-specific and conversational with your photo searches, is launching in early access for select users in the US. In addition, the improved search for more descriptive Google Photos queries begins rolling out today for all English-speaking users.The upgraded search in Google Photos lets you use more descriptive queries. For example, while you could have searched for “lake” before, you can now enter “kayaking on a lake surrounded by mountains.” Or, instead of merely searching for your friend Alice, you can go with…

A North Carolina man is facing fraud charges after allegedly uploading hundreds of thousands of AI-generated songs to streaming services and using bots to play them billions of times. Michael Smith is said to have over $10 million in royalties since 2017 via the scheme.Smith, 52, was arrested on Wednesday. An indictment [PDF] that was unsealed the same day accuses him of using the bots to steal royalty payments from platforms including , and . Smith has been charged with wire fraud conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.…

Background Hex is a board game Hex (board game). It can be proven that the first player wins on boards with any size n×n (without swap rule) using a non-constructive proof. But the proof cannot provide specific strategies of how to win. Question Original question on MathOverflowOn an n×n board, assume the first player tries to minimize the length of the game to win, and the second player tries to maximize the length to lose. Call the optimal length F(n). (F(n) is the sum of move numbers of two player, not one player).What are the asymptotics of F(n)? Brief results…

There are 4 Major types of Machine Learning Supervised Learning Regression Classification Unsupervised Learning Clustering Dimensionality Reduction Anomaly Detection Association Semi Supervised Learning Reinforcement Learning Lets Explain one by one for a clear idea that what exactly they are about! Supervised Learning If we have a dataset with both input and output, our job is to understand the relationship between them. Then, we can use that understanding to predict the output for new input. This type of learning is called supervised machine learning. Example: Lets take 1000 Students Data. Now the ML model will create a mathematical link between the…

From Pixels To Perception: The Impact Of Foundation Models For Vision

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, AI foundation models, AI models, computer vision

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made incredible progress, from deciphering the nuances of written language to interpreting the rich complexity of images, videos, and even LiDAR data. This transition has advanced computer vision (CV), enabling machines to “see” and perceive the visual world. Extracting intelligence from visual data is often more intricate than processing text. This is due to factors like the high dimensionality of visual data, occlusion, perspective, and lighting conditions of images, as well as relative complexity in feature extraction. Machine learning (ML) in CV has additional challenges, such as the non-availability of enough relevant images for pre-training, the…
