Artificial IntelligenceAre vision foundational models catching up with LLMs?Self-supervised training methods continue to deliver breakthrough after breakthrough. Last week, Meta AI released the second version of their self-DIstillation with NO labels or DINO model. The model can supposedly be used as a backbone to solve virtually any computer vision task without fine-tuning! Have the foundational models in computer vision caught up to the level of versatility that Large Language Models have held for some time? Let’s take…

Every car has some advantages and disadvantages. Some ride well, some are spacious, some are fast, some are good for a big family on road trips… but what if you could keep only one car that will do the job decently well in all situations?

While there are a lot of options and contenders that can become the ultimate all-purpose car for all…

A good, productivity-focused monitor will go a long way in improving your efficiency while working, but it isn't often that we find a monitor that is equally geared for life after work hours. Among the world's leading names when it comes to monitors is Taiwan-based BenQ, and one of the company's newest models in India is the EW3880R WQHD+ IPS curved ultra-wide monitor. Apart from the 21:9 aspect ratio that makes it useful for multi-tasking and multi-device connectivity, it also has a built-in front-firing 2.1-channel…
