My decision to give away ownership of Hobby Lobby: I chose God
I went through a period where I'd grown proud thinking that I had the Midas touch – and nearly lost Hobby Lobby. God showed me that He was the one who granted success.

Leshon Ima – Mother Tongue with Dr. Rachel Zohar Dulin, The Dayton Jewish Observer For some of us the month of May conjures an association with labor’s struggle for workers’ rights. On the Hebrew calendar, summer comes to mind. This year, we celebrate Shavuot at the end of May. Shavuot
Microsoft AI Research Introduces DeepSpeed-MII, A New Open-Source Python Library From DeepSpeed That Speeds Up 20,000+ Widely Used Deep Learning Models - MarkTechPost
While open-source software has made AI accessible to more people, there are still two significant barriers to its widespread use: inference delay and cost. System optimizations have come a long way and can substantially reduce latency and cost for DL model inference, but they are not immediately accessible. Many data scientists lack the expertise to correctly identify and implement the set of system optimizations relevant to a specific model, making low latency and low-cost inference primarily out of reach. The complex nature of the DL model inference landscape, including wide variations in model size, architecture, system performance characteristics, hardware requirements,
Researchers from MIT and Microsoft Propose a Practical and Robust Video Conferencing Method Called Gemino
We all saw the importance of good-quality video conferencing tools during COVID lockdowns. Education, entertainment, work meetings, and family visits became video conferences, and we spent hours finding the tool that gave us the best visual quality. The face-to-face communication continued via our screens when the faces were distant. However, not all of us were lucky enough to benefit from this replacement communication technology. Those suffering from poor internet connection were talking with pixels and weird artifacts of their loved ones instead of the faces they were used to. To make matters worse, the video transmission was suspended if their
The phrase 'data engineering tools' refers to a broad category of technologies that comprise the contemporary data stack. Modern data stacks require specialized technologies to speed up data integration engineering. These connectors are scalable to accommodate your expanding data needs, end-user-centric, and independent of the cloud. Data engineering tools typically assist with the following: Building a pipeline for data.Facilitating efficient ETL/ELT processes.Creating reports using data visualization and business intelligence. Let's briefly go over them with a few examples and the Importance of data engineering. Data Integration: Fully managed ETL tools are necessary to offer real-time or almost real-time data for
New model acts as search engine for large databases of pathology images, helping to identify rare diseases and which patients likely to respond to similar therapies
ETL refers to the three separate but interlaced processes involved in exchanging data between systems. Extract, Transform and Load. Extract: This function connects to a specified data source and accesses the data required for the process ready to be loaded into a different application / database. Transform: Transform stage will typically carry out data quality […]
Check Out How These Illinois Tech AI Researchers Extracted Personal Information From Anonymous Cell Phone Data Using Machine Learning - MarkTechPost
Many people who regularly use social media, cell phones, home security cameras, and location trackers don't realize the full extent of their data. They have no idea that the information they have gathered can be replicated by others using machine learning (ML) techniques. The consequence is that users are always at risk of having their anonymized information de-anonymized by ML algorithms, although most people cherish their online privacy, albeit to varying degrees. Data security concerns have been raised after a team of researchers from the Illinois Institute of Technology used machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to extract personally identifiable
Basecamp has had one foot in the cloud for well over a decade, and HEY has been running there exclusively since it was launched two years ago. We've run extensively in both Amazon's cloud and Google's cloud. We've run on bare virtual machines, we've run on Kubernetes. We've seen all the cloud has to offer, and tried most of it. It's fi...
