Mike Maciag, Chief Marketing Officer at Dynatrace, recently sat down with company founder and CTO Bernd Greifeneder to discuss Dynatrace’s 2024 predictions for key technology trends like observability, AI, and platform engineering. Their discussion yielded valuable insights for developers, engineers, and architects to consider this year. The Rise of Composite AI A key theme was the rise of “composite AI,” which Greifeneder describes as “the combination of multiple types of AI together to form the sum, something that…

Yes, you probably already have a virtual assistant in your pocket on your phone. Heck, if you're reading Engadget, I'm willing to bet you've got at least one smart speaker floating around your home as well that you can ask to complete basic tasks. But a new start up called Rabbit seems to think these are less than ideal implementations of AI (if you can really call Siri and Alexa that). It envisions a world where you trade apps for conversation and, rather than a distracting device shoving icons in your face, you interact…

Sony/SiemensAnother interesting phrase Siemens has been using is immersive engineering. The idea is that engineering, design, and content creation can be done inside a 3D environment using a toolkit called the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. Siemens offers a product called NX Immersive Designer. This tool is designed to "seamlessly connect the real and digital worlds." Sony/SiemensIn a curious announcement for a company so focused on branding, Sony is disclosing the development of a spatial content creation…

Artist’s representation of nanoparticles with different compositions created by combining two techniques: metal exsolution and ion irradiation. The different colors represent different elements, such as nickel, that can be implanted into an exsolved metal particle to tailor the particle’s compositions and reactivity.

Prompt Engineering, AI Agents, and LLMs: Kick-Start a New Year of LearningAnd just like that, it’s 2024. Welcome back to the Variable — and to a new year of learning.Great articles come in all shapes and sizes, and we love how on an average day at TDS, we get to publish excellent hands-on guides right next to nuanced explorations of cutting-edge research. Our first newsletter of the year reflects that balance: we’ve brought together some of our best and most thought-provoking recent articles, and hope they’ll give you…

Ever since the launch of the Mahindra XUV700 back in August 2021, its most highlighted feature has been ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). This feature was launched by the company as a safety feature to avoid accidents. However, a number of hooligans in India have been misusing this safety feature as a stunt feature. Recently, another video showing some young engineering students performing dangerous stunts with the help of ADAS has been shared online. The driver of the car was seen climbing out of the window…

Engineers have developed a groundbreaking reversible glue, which promises to transform recycling processes. This environmentally friendly, water-based glue can easily detach labels from bottles, thus aiding in recycling and reducing landfill waste. Its development, in collaboration with Biffa, and its potential application across various industries, mark a significant advancement in adhesive technology.Engineers at Newcastle University have developed a new glue that promises to change how we recycle.Its reversible nature…
