ACARS Drama is on a mission to track the drama happening in the aviation world through ACARS and VDLM2 messages transmitted by aircraft. These messages are decoded by the author using special equipment and software, revealing interesting tidbits from pilots and crew members. The majority of messages are routine and mundane but occasionally, there are […]
Generative artificial intelligence can create text and images, but can it accurately generate system architecture diagrams? This article dives into three use cases for AI-generated diagrams, from generic technology diagrams to whiteboard diagrams for future systems. ChatGPT did impressively well with simple requests, like a basic AWS serverless system. However, whiteboarding a detailed browser-based image […]
A groundbreaking technology using cosmic radiation and artificial intelligence was tested in Jõgisoo, Harju County this week to assess the condition of bridges without destructive testing. Muon particles passing through the bridge are analyzed to determine materials used and assess structural integrity, such as rust on steel reinforcement. This innovative technology, previously tested in the […]

DESI, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, has released a massive dataset containing information on 18.7 million celestial objects, including stars, galaxies, and quasars. The project aims to map the universe to better understand dark energy, uncovering hints that challenge our standard model of cosmology. DESI’s Data Release 1 is a fraction of what is to […]
The Bolt3D method allows for feed-forward 3D scene generation in just 6.25 seconds on a single GPU. By generating multi-view Splatter Images from input images through a diffusion model and Gaussian regression, high-quality 3D scenes are created. The key to success lies in the Geometry VAE, which efficiently compresses pointmaps. When compared to optimization-based methods, […]
