System Architecture

Separating schema from code is an essential practice in platform engineering that provides scalability, maintenance and flexibility benefits.

Explainable AI is the ability of a model to provide a clear explanation of how it made a decision. In this post, we explore how it's revolutionizing AI.

New study checks potential applications, anti-fraud possibilities of blockchain.

The most advanced foundation models for AI are only partially open-source and are only available through commercial APIs. This restricts their use and limits research and customization. However, a project called RedPajama now aims to create leading, fully open-source models. The first step of this project, reproducing the LLaMA training dataset, has been completed. Open-source models have made significant progress recently, and AI is experiencing a moment similar to the Linux movement. Stable Diffusion demonstrated that open-source models could compete with commercial offerings and encourage creativity through community participation. A similar movement has now emerged around large language models, with

Many modern programming languages like Java produce useful error messages when they fail. Some indicate where in the program (e.g., down to the line of source code) the failure occurred. Slowly, the C++ language is moving in this direction. A particularly nasty problem in C and C++ are segmentation faults: they occur when you are … Continue reading Under Linux, libSegFault and addr2line are underrated
