The technique has been used throughout history, but now could be a tool in one of the biggest fights in artificial intelligence. Since the beginning of the generative AI boom, content creators have argued that their work has been scraped into AI models without their consent. But until now, it has be...

Lockheed Martin has rolled out a new version of its Sniper targeting pod with added networking capabilities primarily designed to provide a secure link between non-stealthy fourth-generation fighters like the F-16 Viper and stealthy F-35 Joint Strike Fighters. However, the pod can also exchange info...

Black holes are known to form from large concentrations of mass, such as burned-out stars. But according to general relativity, they can also form from ultra-intense light. Theorists have speculated about this idea for decades. However, calculations by a team of researchers now suggest that light-in...

Ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok reached a settlement with the Justice Department that includes a $1.2 million payout in the lawsuit over the department’s 2018 release of his text messages, his lawyers said Friday. According to court filings Friday, both Strzok and former F...

Transmeta Corporation was an American fabless semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California. It developed low power x86 compatible microprocessors based on a VLIW core and a software layer called Code Morphing Software. Code Morphing Software (CMS) consisted of an interpreter, a runtime sy...

Yesterday I talked to two companies that were - at the surface level - in similar situations. A huge potential customer is knocking on the door, far bigger than any existing one. There’s a mixture of excitement and nervousness and everyone is wondering, will we be able to pull it off. An important...

Frigid temperatures hundreds of millions of years ago, during ancient periods known as Snowball Earth, may have created the conditions for complex multicellular life to evolve. New experiments show how. Once upon a time, long ago, the world was encased in ice. That’s the tale told by sedimentary r...

One way to think about a dbt model is that it’s a table. It’s easy to think this, because most dbt models do, literally, create tables in a database. A company might have a products table that’s imported from their inventory management system, a charges table that’s imported from their Str...

In a previous post, I wrote about how using stateful property testing helped us find test cases that were hard to find by hand. This helped us complete a project in a timely fashion. But some other surprising benefits came from introducing stateful property testing. To switch from a deprecated Mongo...

AI is hot, so let’s talk about some “classical machine learning” in Haskell with k-means clustering! Let’s throw in some dependent types too. There are a bazillion ways of implementing such a simple algorithm, but this is how I’d do it, as someone who develops almost exclusively in Haskell...
