Error v/s Exception

Error v/s Exception

Have you ever been confused between an error and an exception? We often tend to use these words interchangeably. Well, they are not the same, since they have nuanced differences. Let us understand these differences with examples. Error An error usually refers to a condition that hinders a program's normal execution. It can be due to issues like: 1. Syntax Errors Errors which occurs when we have mistakes in our code that prevents the compiler from parsing our program correctly. // Syntax error example: function greet() { console.log("Hello world!"; // SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list } Enter fullscreen mode…

OpenAI relaunches robotics unit four years after shutting it down – SiliconANGLE

OpenAI relaunches robotics unit four years after shutting it down – SiliconANGLE

OpenAI has formed a team to train artificial intelligence models for robots. The ChatGPT developer confirmed Forbes’ Thursday report in a statement. The news comes about four years after OpenAI disbanded a team that researched ways of using AI to teach robots new tasks. Forbes reported that several former members of the team still work at the company, which could ease its effort to reenter the market.  According to a job posting on its website, OpenAI plans to develop a suite of multimodal large language models for robotics use cases. A multimodal model is a neural network that processes not…

RT-2: New model translates vision and language into action

RT-2: New model translates vision and language into action

Research Published 28 July 2023 Authors Yevgen Chebotar, Tianhe Yu Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2) is a novel vision-language-action (VLA) model that learns from both web and robotics data, and translates this knowledge into generalised instructions for robotic controlHigh-capacity vision-language models (VLMs) are trained on web-scale datasets, making these systems remarkably good at recognising visual or language patterns and operating across different languages. But for robots to achieve a similar level of competency, they would need to collect robot data, first-hand, across every object, environment, task, and situation.In our paper, we introduce Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2), a novel vision-language-action (VLA) model…

How to block Windows 11 from encrypting drives during installation – gHacks Tech News

How to block Windows 11 from encrypting drives during installation – gHacks Tech News

A clean installation of Windows 10 or Windows 11 may enable Bitlocker drive encryption automatically. The main system partition and all fixed drives will be encrypted in this case after the out-of-box experience. Bitlocker protects data on the PC against unauthorized access by encrypting partitions and drives. Microsoft calls this specific BitLocker feature device encryption: "Device encryption is a Windows feature that provides a simple way for some devices to enable BitLocker encryption automatically". Problem is, since the encryption process happens automatically in this case, users may not be aware of it. This can lead to issues, for instance when…

New dressing robot can ‘mimic’ the actions of care-workers

New dressing robot can ‘mimic’ the actions of care-workers

Scientists have developed a new robot that can 'mimic' the two-handed movements of care-workers as they dress an individual. Until now, assistive dressing robots, designed to help an elderly person or a person with a disability get dressed, have been created in the laboratory as a one-armed machine, but research has shown that this can be uncomfortable for the person in care or impractical. To tackle this problem, Dr Jihong Zhu, a robotics researcher at the University of York's Institute for Safe Autonomy, proposed a two-armed assistive dressing scheme, which has not been attempted in previous research, but inspired by…

The trendy prebiotic soda touted by A-listers is misleading consumers, according to a new lawsuit

If you tried Poppi prebiotic sodas in hopes that the trendy drinks — touted by A-listers like Kylie Jenner and J-Lo in social media posts — would help your gut health, you may have been misled, according to a new class action lawsuit."Prebiotics are a special type of fiber that can act as food for healthy bacteria in your gut," Poppi's website claims of its products. "Each can of poppi includes agave inulin, a prebiotic (and natural sweetener!) extracted from the agave tequilana plant."However, the lawsuit, filed Wednesday, alleges the low-sugar, "gut-healthy" sodas contain such small amounts of prebiotic fiber…

Deephaven’s modernized time library | Deephaven

Deephaven Core v0.25 introduces major changes to modernize and standardize its date-time handling. The query libraries were originally written more than a decade ago. Over that time, Java's approach to date-time data has changed, so a rewrite was in order. v0.25 brings Deephaven up to speed with current standards.This rewrite is a breaking change. Your data is safe but many of your queries may need to be updated. A stable API is a high priority for Deephaven and our customers; we did not take this decision lightly. Instead of a series of small changes, we decided that one large change…
