Google Cloud is introducing a new set of grounding options that will further enable enterprises to reduce hallucinations across their generative AI-based applications and agents.The large language models (LLMs) that underpin these generative AI-based applications and agents may start producing faulty output or responses as they grow in complexity. These faulty outputs are termed as […]

This half-month Python report includes a quick guide to writing Python code in 2024, how to build Python-based data-driven web apps without a line of JavaScript, and 10 smart ways to make Python faster. We also have an intro to the one library Python users lean on for faster math at scale—and do check out […]

Cloud is the easiest way to build generative AI systems; that’s why cloud revenues are skyrocketing. However, many of these systems are overengineered, which drives complexity and unnecessary costs. Overengineering is a familiar issue. We’ve been overthinking and overbuilding systems, devices, machines, vehicles, etc., for many years. Why would the cloud be any different?Overengineering is […]

The company best known for RStudio, the leading integrated development environment (IDE) for R programmers, has quietly launched a “next-generation” IDE designed specifically for both R and Python. The Positron IDE is available in public beta as of today for macOS, Windows, and Linux.Created by Boston-based Posit PBC, formerly RStudio, Positron is based on Microsoft’s […]

Threading refers to the practice of executing programming processes concurrently to improve application performance. While it's not that common to work with threads directly in business applications, they're used all the time in Java frameworks. As an example, frameworks that process a large volume of information use threads to manage data. Manipulating threads or CPU […]

Microsoft and its hardware partners recently launched its Copilot+ PCs, powered by Arm CPUs with built-in neural processing units. They’re an interesting redirection from the previous mainstream x64 platforms, focused initially on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Arm processors and running the latest builds of Microsoft’s Windows on Arm. Buy one now, and it’s already running the […]
