US chip manufacturer SkyWater Technology Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google Public Sector announced that they are expanding an open source platform to design chips that can be made in SkyWater's Minnesota facility. SkyWater said the US Department of Defense is funding $15 million for the development of the platform. "One of the reasons the US government is investing in this initiative is because they can then take the output of a lot of this development," said SkyWater CEO Thomas Sonderman. Chip design and manufacturing is a…

DARPA is worried about how well it can be trusted Patrick Howell O'Neill / MIT Technology Review: A look at DARPA's SocialCyber, a project that combines sociology with AI to…

How data-diff can save you hours of time validating data modelsPhoto by Lena Köhler on UnsplashIf you’ve ever had to migrate your data warehouse to a new platform or account then you know how time-consuming and painful this can be. Recently, I’ve had to migrate my data from one Snowflake account to another, reconfiguring all of the data ingestion pipelines and orchestration. You quickly realize how one little change can (and will) break everything in your data pipeline.With migrating your entire pipeline comes the need to…

Let’s see the top 6 open-source datasets for computer vision that deserve to be explored. Computer vision is one of the top tech trends that has been booming these days. This technology is accelerating every domain in the industry helping organizations to revolutionize the way machines are being used. And to build a robust deep learning model for computer vision, one should apply high-quality datasets into the training phase. Let’s see the top 6 open-source datasets for computer vision that deserve to be explored.…

Software Engineering For Data ScienceA step-by-step guide to going from a messy notebook to a pipeline running in KubernetesPhoto by Myriam Jessier on UnsplashNotebooks are great for rapid iterations and prototyping but quickly get messy. After working on a notebook, my code becomes difficult to manage and unsuitable for deployment. In production, code organization is essential for maintainability (it’s much easier to improve and debug organized code than a long, messy notebook).In this post, I’ll describe how you can use…

VISTA 2.0 is an open-source simulation engine that can make realistic environments for training and testing self-driving cars. Credit: MIT CSAIL Hyper-realistic virtual worlds have been heralded as the best driving schools for autonomous vehicles (AVs), since they've proven fruitful test beds for safely trying out dangerous driving scenarios. Tesla, Waymo, and other self-driving companies all rely heavily on data to enable…
