How Generative AI is Quietly Transforming How Businesses Grow

Generative AI has the potential to change business operations across a vast range of sectors. In terms of securing business growth, the GenAI revolution cannot be understated.  With projections suggesting that the global generative AI market size is set to reach $967.65 billion by 2032, representing a CAGR of 39.6%, it's clear that the artificial intelligence boom will be a major disruptive force throughout business operations worldwide.  In addition to this, McKinsey data suggests that the impact of generative AI on productivity has the potential to add trillions of dollars to the global economy. For businesses eager to scale up their operations…

Nara Smith, who makes food from scratch on TikTok, says it can take up to 7 hours to film a sandwich video — and her kids eat a much simpler meal in the meantime

The model and influencer — known for her TikToks of making food from scratch while dressed in stylish, designer outfits — told GQ that it can sometimes take up to seven hours for her to film a single video.In the meantime, she'll feed her kids something simpler to prepare, like oatmeal, she said.Smith, 22, is married to fellow model Lucky Blue Smith, with whom she has three children: Slim Easy, 2, and daughters Rumble Honey, 3, and Whimsy Lou, who was born in April.The model, who has amassed 9.1 million followers on TikTok, went viral earlier this year when her…

Prioritize Alignment in Dataset Distillation

Prioritize Alignment in Dataset Distillation

arXiv:2408.03360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dataset Distillation aims to compress a large dataset into a significantly more compact, synthetic one without compromising the performance of the trained models. To achieve this, existing methods use the agent model to extract information from the target dataset and embed it into the distilled dataset. Consequently, the quality of extracted and embedded information determines the quality of the distilled dataset. In this work, we find that existing methods introduce misaligned information in both information extraction and embedding stages. To alleviate this, we propose Prioritize Alignment in Dataset Distillation (PAD), which aligns information from the…

Tokyo Electron Ups Forecast After AI Demand Helps Earnings Beat

Tokyo Electron Ups Forecast After AI Demand Helps Earnings Beat

Tokyo Electron Ltd. raised its profit forecast for the fiscal year to March after reporting a better-than-expected surge in sales.The Japanese provider of semiconductor-patterning systems said it sees operating profit for the full year reaching ¥627 billion ($4.3 billion), up 8% from its previous guidance. Revenue in the June quarter was ¥555 billion, beating the analyst consensus of ¥500 billion and snapping a streak of year-on-year declines dating back to 2022. Operating profit for the period was ¥165.7 billion, also above expectations. Source link lol

RayGauss: Volumetric Gaussian-Based Ray Casting for Photorealistic Novel View Synthesis

RayGauss: Volumetric Gaussian-Based Ray Casting for Photorealistic Novel View Synthesis

arXiv:2408.03356v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differentiable volumetric rendering-based methods made significant progress in novel view synthesis. On one hand, innovative methods have replaced the Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) network with locally parameterized structures, enabling high-quality renderings in a reasonable time. On the other hand, approaches have used differentiable splatting instead of NeRF's ray casting to optimize radiance fields rapidly using Gaussian kernels, allowing for fine adaptation to the scene. However, differentiable ray casting of irregularly spaced kernels has been scarcely explored, while splatting, despite enabling fast rendering times, is susceptible to clearly visible artifacts. Our work closes this gap by…

Optimus: Accelerating Large-Scale Multi-Modal LLM Training by Bubble Exploitation

Optimus: Accelerating Large-Scale Multi-Modal LLM Training by Bubble Exploitation

arXiv:2408.03505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have extended the success of large language models (LLMs) to multiple data types, such as image, text and audio, achieving significant performance in various domains, including multimodal translation, visual question answering and content generation. Nonetheless, existing systems are inefficient to train MLLMs due to substantial GPU bubbles caused by the heterogeneous modality models and complex data dependencies in 3D parallelism. This paper proposes Optimus, a distributed MLLM training system that reduces end-to-end MLLM training time. Optimus is based on our principled analysis that scheduling the encoder computation within the LLM…

The Morning After: Google replaces Chromecast with the TV Streamer

The Morning After: Google replaces Chromecast with the TV Streamer

, Google has unveiled its latest product for the living room, the . It replaces the Chromecast and is a standalone set-top box as opposed to the dongles we’ve been used to. The tiny wedge-shaped doodad supports all the expected features, including HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and spatial audio. But Google is also making a big deal of the device’s smart home bona fides, with support for Matter and Thread. You’ll get a popover Google Home panel too, letting you tweak your smart home from the comfort of your TV.Of course, you might wonder why Google needs to push…

SQL, split values of two columns respectively and count members of their intersection #eg20

SQL, split values of two columns respectively and count members of their intersection #eg20

In PostgreSQL database’s table T, items_current_order field and items_next_order field contain comma-separated strings having duplicate characters and enclosed by braces: We need to add a computed column named count to the table. Rule: Split items_current_order field and items_next_order field respectively into a set having duplicate members and count members of their intersection. Write the following SPL code: derive() function adds a computed column to A1’s table. #3 represents the 3rd field; we can also use name to represent the field. split() function splits each string; @c option means using the comma to separate the string. ^ is the operator for…

The new Miss USA went from West Point to the pageant stage

Before competing at her first pageant, all Alma Cooper had was just her mom and a dream.She competed at Miss Michigan Teen USA 2016 in a dress from Facebook Marketplace, which her mother had bejeweled with hundreds of beads."I can't even put into words this surreal feeling," Cooper told Business Insider after she won the crown in Los Angeles on Sunday night. "I have so much gratitude toward the shoulders that I stand upon and all the people who have supported me to get to this point." Cooper has dreamed of winning Miss USA since she was a little girl.…
