Activeloop claims its Deep Lake can create AI applications at a cost up to 75% lower than market offerings while increasing engineering teams' productivity by up to five-fold.
In this video presentation, our good friend Jon Krohn, Co-Founder and Chief Data Scientist at the machine learning company Nebula, is joined by Lisa Cohen, Google's Director of Data Science and Engineering, to discuss the capabilities of the cutting-edge Gemini Ultra LLM and how it stands toe-to-toe with GPT-4.
In this contributed article, George Davis, founder and CEO of Frame AI, howlights how we find ourselves at an early, crucial stage in the AI R&D lifecycle. Excitement over AI’s potential is dragging it into commercial development well before reliable engineering practices have been established. Architectural patterns like RAG are essential in moving from theoretical models to deployable solutions.
Singapore’s AI Edge In the space of nine months, Google Cloud’s Caroline Yap has held over one thousand meetings with C-suite officers and boards of directors about generative AI. In her role as Managing Director of Global AI Business and Applied Engineering at Google Cloud, she sat down with VentureBeat to talk about the speed […]
Organizers of a recent Defcon social engineering contest will release their results next week. One conclusion is that women did well in protecting corporate secrets.
Huawei Technologies is willing to accept new Indian rules that will require telecommunication equipment suppliers to, among other conditions, give the government access to source code and engineering designs for its equipment, the company said on Thursday.
Responding to criticism of its management structure after consecutive quarters of uninspiring performance, Cisco this week restructured operations in an effort to streamline sales and engineering in five key product areas.
Google has established a software engineering center in Taipei to work with Asian laptop makers on computers running its Chrome OS, a Google executive said Tuesday.
Don't judge Microsoft security on the number of monthly patches, says Steve Lipner, senior director of security engineering at Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Group. Microsoft has made a lot of progress with its Security Development Lifecycle and continues to improve the process, he said.
The Hoover Dam is one of the great wonders of American engineering and in addition it is an important part of our nation's critical infrastructure. Here's a look at how the Bureau of Reclamation, a part of the U.S. Department of Interior, protects this national icon.
A few companies in the Fortune 500 need to upgrade their Web browsers. And while they're at it, a little in-house training on social engineering wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
A group of chip makers including IBM, Samsung Electronics and Texas Instruments on Thursday unveiled Linaro, a new software-engineering foundation dedicated to improving Linux distributions, including Android, MeeGo and Ubuntu, used in consumer devices.
There is a new concept RPG being provided at gamengame.com, a game host that offers prominent Korean online games free to play. The name of this ingenious game is GhostX. While a conventional RPG is characterized with either medieval or sci-fi components, GhostX can be distinguished with unique settings based on a virtual modern world. The idea of transforming ghost (Nanobot) conceived from genetic engineering is convincingly engaging for the players of the present world and be drawn into the story. On tha
The distributed approach to projects at Toronto-based engineering firm Morrison Hershfield Corp. is markedly different from the on-premise, single-office tack of previous years. A recent move to unified communications technology has eliminated a monthly $3,000 conference call bill and allowed the firm to harness internal talent.
For years, the coveted Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) was the highest, most difficult rank a network professional could achieve. No more. On Monday, Cisco announced a new certification, the Cisco Certified Architect, which will become the rank above CCIE. The new CCA will attempt to marry the networking engineering know-how of the CCIE with the business acumen of the MBA.
Padmasree Warrior, chief technology officer at Cisco Systems Inc., joined the tech giant in 2007 after 23 years at Motorola Inc., where she held a number of positions, including CTO. An advocate for women and minorities in engineering fields, Warrior was inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame in 2007. No stranger to social media, Warrior has 1.4 million Twitter followers. And while her company might be better known for providing routing and switching for the largest organizations
Security research firm Bkis earlier this month warned of a vicious virus targeting both Skype and Yahoo! Messenger. BKIS said in a blog post the attack involved inserting malicious URLs into chat windows with sophisticated social engineering hooks.
Experts predict that in 20 years, solar power will fulfill more than 20% of the country's energy needs, up from less than 1% today. The companies leading solar technology development, such as SunPower Corp., are poised to become the new titans of Silicon Valley. Richard Swanson, SunPower's founder, president and chief technical officer, holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University and has been instrumental in developing the technology. Although SunPower focuses on utility, business and
The Internet engineering community says its biggest mistake in developing IPv6 - a long-anticipated upgrade to the Internet's main communications protocol - is that it lacks backwards compatibility with the existing Internet Protocol, known as IPv4.
The Department of Energy has called the U.S. electrical power grid the largest machine on Earth. It has over 9,200 generating units that produce more than 1 million megawatts of electricity. And they're connected to a network with more than 300,000 miles of transmission lines. In 2003, the National Academy of Engineering identified electrification, made possible by the national power grid, as "the most significant engineering achievement of the 20th century."
SOCIAL ENGINEERING IS GROWING UP. Social engineering, the act of tricking people into giving up sensitive information, is nothing new. Convicted hacker Kevin Mitnick made a name for himself by cold-calling staffers at major U.S. companies and talking them into giving him information. But today's criminals are having a heyday using e-mail and social networks. A well-written phishing message or virus-laden spam campaign is a cheap, effective way for criminals to get the data they need.
