Journal Club is a premium daily newsletter and podcast. Each episode is lovingly crafted by hand, and delivered to your inbox every morning in text and audio form.
We'll keep you up to date on the latest training and implementation techniques within Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Expert Systems, Natural Language Processing, Robotics, Autonomous Driving, and all forms of applied AI.
As the hyper-scalers grow and evolve, so do their compute offerings. As new chips and materials are developed, new types of computing become possible.
Whether it's the latest GPGPU programming experiments, new dev-tools for Rust, or new packages for Python, we keep up with the latest in programming language evolution.
From farm equipment to satellites, the world is increasingly comprised of interconnected distributed systems. We analyze and explore many of them.
The sea of algorithms only seems to get wider and deeper. Whether it's new algos for hashing, search, bin packing, or anything else: we'll keep you up-to-date on the latest and greatest.
The ways we can store and retrieve our data are changing all the time: Just in the past few years CRDTs, vector databases, streaming queues, novel blockchain storage engines, and realtime dbs have changed the way applications are built.
The best-practices for application development are in constant upheaval: Recently durable-execution environments, quantum computing, serverless state machines, reactive systems, gRPC clusters, and multi-cloud environments have shook things up.
It's never been more difficult or more complex to secure an application. The rash of recent breaches and leaks affirm this fact. As applications get more complex, their attack surface only grows. We'll help you keep track of the latest best practices in securing your stack.
From genetic engineering to synthetic biology, the life sciences are advancing at an unprecedented pace. Whether it's breakthroughs in CRISPR technology, novel drug discovery methods, or bioinformatics innovations, we track the latest developments shaping the future of biology and medicine.
Societal structures are more complex than ever. So it's whether it's trends in politics, anthropology, archaeology, history, or linguistics, we'll explore it right here.
As the climate crisis unfolds, scientific understanding is evolving rapidly. From climate modeling advancements to carbon capture technologies and sustainable energy solutions, we cover the key innovations and policies driving our response to a changing planet.
Economic theories are adapting in response to changing markets. When new macroeconomic models or behavioral finance analyses are published, we'll let you know about it.
We stay on top of the latest public health breakthroughs and challenges. From pandemic response strategies, to health equity initiatives.
Technology, neuroscience, and pedagogical innovations are driving new approaches to classroom management and pegagogy. We'll help you keep up with the latest adaptive learning platforms, remote education trends, and cognitive development insights.
Music is both an art and a science. Advancements in music theory continue to expand our understanding of the audio world. From algorithmic composition techniques to microtonal theory and computational musicology.
The humanities offer critical perspectives on culture, history, and human expression. We'll help you keep pace with this ever-evolving body of discourse.
In Computer Science we don't talk about cashews very often, but maybe we should. A team of researchers in Vietnam just trained a computer-vision classifier on top of YoloV8 that can grade cashew nuts as they're coming down a conveyor belt. It can perform the grading in milliseconds, with less than a 3% error rate, running entirely on cheap off-the-shelf components. Impressive!..
A few companies are planning on putting their datacenters in the stratosphere. Yes, the stratosphere! Their theory is that the sheer amount of free cooling would justify the costs and headache. For a moment let's put aside how they're going to get the machines all the way up there, and then let's put aside how they're going to keep them afloat. There's still one big problem: TCP isn't going to work very well in the stratosphere. Not well at all. That's according to a new study in which the researchers are proposing an alternative new variant of TCP for use exclusively in the stratosphere. They're calling TCP Stratos...
The field of Psychiatry doesn't always lend itself well to data-science. The field of Computational Psychiatry, on the other hand, thinks we can do better. In this new study, researchers built a proof-of-concept model that should be able to take a new patient (who is admitted for depression, mania or psychosis), review their history, and then project forward the ultimate progression and possible treatment of their condition. Far fetched? Let's dive in and find out...
