A series of problems and barriers contribute to poor educational…

Image Property of Author — Create with NightcafeImproving LLM Inference Speeds on CPUs with Model QuantizationDiscover how to significantly improve inference latency on CPUs using quantization techniques for mixed, int8, and int4 precisionsOne of the most significant challenges the AI space faces is the need for computing resources to host large-scale production-grade LLM-based applications. At scale, LLM applications require redundancy, scalability, and reliability, which have historically been only possible on general…

Traffic signal retiming with vehicle trajectories. a Trajectory point scatters in the City of Birmingham, Michigan, which has a total of 34 signalized intersections, including three main corridors and some isolated intersections. Each point represents a vehicle’s location at a certain timestamp, and the color of the point changes with speed. Corridors and intersections that were identified with traffic signal re-timing opportunities are labeled with…

With January behind us, how are your New Year’s resolutions going? Mid-February is typically when gym attendance returns to normal, as people remember how hard it is to maintain healthy habits. But goals aren’t limited to the gym; many make financial planning a part of their resolutions.

It is well-known that Apple has better integration between its devices than any other brand. While Samsung has the second-best integration among its devices, it is still not as seamless or easy to use as Apple's. Google is trying to bring the same level of integration among Android devices. Google is building better integration between Android devices Google has been testing for ‘Cross-Device Services' over the past few years for integration between Android and Chrome OS devices. It looks like Google is finally…

The distribution of the main vegetation types across the Arctic tundra (Dinerstein et al, 2017; European Space Agency, 2017) and the location of our study area. (a), the distribution of plots. (b) and environmental conditions derived from statistical upscaling of in situ measurements. (c). Soil moisture and temperature represent mean daytime (08:00 to 20:00 EET) conditions from 1 July to 2 August, and annual soil temperature is an average within the…

“Keep it simple, stupid”. That’s one of my old teacher’s saying to me when I used to write overly-complicated essays when I was in high school which never really explained much and appears to be one of Logitech’s thoughts when it was redesigning the new G Pro x Superlight 2.  But sometimes people love simplicity and coming on the back of the old G Pro Superlight mouse that was released in 2020, it has been a tried-and-tested formula which has made it one of the most popular wireless gaming mice on the market – and for…
