Data Machina #254

On the State of AI Coding Agents. “How could we start using AI to migrate years of messy, flimsy legacy code to a modern stack? ... Perhaps an AI Code Migration Agent ???” We’re doing AI chat & espresso at Level 39, One Canada Square. James -a veteran CTO with all the scars- is asking these rather funny, rhetorical questions. There is a deep silence in the room, pensive faces around. Everyone is staring through the massive windows overlooking The City skyline as the sunset strikes. We wonder in perplexity -in the very philosophical and information theory sense- whether AI…

Quais as diferenças entre modificadores public, private, protected e abstract no Typescript?

Quais as diferenças entre modificadores public, private, protected e abstract no Typescript?

o TypeScript, os modificadores de acesso controlam a visibilidade de membros de classes, como propriedades e métodos. Eles definem quais partes do código podem acessar esses membros. Public: O modificador padrão em TypeScript.Permite que membros sejam acessados por qualquer classe, dentro ou fora da classe em que foram declarados.Exemplo: class Pessoa { public nome: string; // Propriedade pública constructor(nome: string) { this.nome = nome; } public falar(): void { console.log(`Olá, meu nome é ${this.nome}`); } } const pessoa1 = new Pessoa('João'); console.log(pessoa1.nome); // Acessando propriedade pública pessoa1.falar(); // Acessando método público Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Private: Restringe o…

How Transparent Are Foundation Model Developers?

How Transparent Are Foundation Model Developers?

Foundation models such as GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion 2 are the engines of generative AI. While the societal impact of foundation models is growing, transparency is on the decline, mirroring the opacity that has plagued past digital technologies like social media. How are these models trained and deployed? Once released, how do users actually use them? Who are the workers that build the datasets that these systems rely on, and how much are they paid? Transparency about these questions is important to keep companies accountable and understand the societal impact of foundation models.Today, we're introducing the Foundation Model Transparency Index…

Atlassian launches Rovo generative AI-powered assistant – SiliconANGLE

Atlassian launches Rovo generative AI-powered assistant – SiliconANGLE

Atlassian Corp. Plc. today launched Rovo, a new generative artificial intelligence knowledge discovery product that extracts data from a company’s internal tools and can help find information stored in them and then act on it. Powered by Atlassian Intelligence, a generative AI offering the company launched a year ago, that brought AI services and models into its products, Rovo helps companies find information lost amid multiple products, learn quickly and act on behalf of employees like a “virtual teammate.” “The first thing Rovo does is it brings together all those third-party SAS tools, as well as your custom-built in-house tools, and lets you put it all into one search index for…

A better way to control shape-shifting soft robots

A better way to control shape-shifting soft robots

Imagine a slime-like robot that can seamlessly change its shape to squeeze through narrow spaces, which could be deployed inside the human body to remove an unwanted item. While such a robot does not yet exist outside a laboratory, researchers are working to develop reconfigurable soft robots for applications in health care, wearable devices, and industrial systems. But how can one control a squishy robot that doesn't have joints, limbs, or fingers that can be manipulated, and instead can drastically alter its entire shape at will? MIT researchers are working to answer that question. They developed a control algorithm that…

WeCare raises $350,000 to develop lab-grown diamonds

WeCare raises $350,000 to develop lab-grown diamonds

Cypriot deeptech WeCare has raised $350,000 for R&D into the development of lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamond productions, including run-of-mine (ROM) diamonds, delivered to designated facilities under Saad Kassis Mohamed's guidance at WeCare Foundation, undergo thorough valuation by accredited experts.  Using WeCare Foundation's proprietary valuation methods, these productions are assessed for their market potential and quality before their use within a range of industries such as telecommunications, laser optics, as abrasives and more. The demand for lab-grown diamonds is steadily increasing, with Teji Mandi’s findings suggesting that it is expected to reach 160 million carats by 2030, signifying the growing acceptance…

Research Highlights in Three Sentences or Less (August-September 2023)

Research Highlights in Three Sentences or Less (August-September 2023)

Another month, another round of interesting research papers ranging from large language modeling to computer vision. One recent focus is on refining Large Language Models (LLMs). For instance, introducing models like Platypus and the Reinforced Self-Training (ReST) method are the latest attempts to improve alignment with human preferences. In addition, Self-Alignment with Instruction Backtranslation and OctoPack leverage existing knowledge structures, be it instructions or code, to improve model performances. A recurring theme is the endeavor to make models more efficient and accessible. There's LongLoRA with another sparse attention mechanism for LLMs and simpler, more fundamental ideas like replacing softmax with ReLU in vision…

Microsoft’s vs. Apple’s AI computer strategies: Why Satya is winning (for now)

Join us in returning to NYC on June 5th to collaborate with executive leaders in exploring comprehensive methods for auditing AI models regarding bias, performance, and ethical compliance across diverse organizations. Find out how you can attend here. When OpenAI announced its ChatGPT desktop app for macOS at its Spring Update conference, there were questions about why it did not start with Windows. After all, Microsoft is OpenAI’s main financial backer, and it would only be natural for it to get earlier access to new ChatGPT features.  Now we know why. Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PC announced at the Build conference…
