We are excited to announce the release of our latest Large Language Model (LLM), Stable Code 3B. This model, which follows our previous release of Stable Code Alpha 3B, is designed for code completion with enhanced capabilities. Despite being 60% smaller than CodeLLaMA 7b, Stable Code 3B performs exceptionally well across various programming languages. It […]

Fluorite lenses have been a crucial factor in the high image quality of Canon lenses. While natural fluorite is only suitable for small optical equipment, Canon developed its own technology to form large, high-purity artificial fluorite crystals for use in photography lenses. Chromatic aberration, which causes color fringing and haziness in images, is corrected by […]
Apple has made significant changes to its U.S. iOS App Store policies by allowing developers to direct customers to a non-App Store purchasing option for digital goods. This move comes after Apple’s legal battle with Epic Games, in which a court order required Apple to allow developers to inform customers about alternatives to in-app purchases. […]
The author expresses their preference for small laptops and phones, which have become less common in the market. They mention the availability of Raspberry Pi/CM4-based tiny laptops as an alternative to expensive Sony UMPCs. The Lichee Console 4A, based on RISC-V SoC, caught the author’s attention, and they ordered it immediately. They provide information about […]
The Filecoin Foundation has successfully deployed the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) in a space mission, showcasing how the decentralized content distribution system can improve communications across long distances. The demonstration involved sending files from Earth to an orbiting satellite using an implementation of the IPFS protocol designed for space communications. The mission, conducted with Lockheed […]
In the blog post, the author explores different implementations of the clamp function in C++. They compare the efficiency of using ternary operators, the std::min and std::max functions, and the std::clamp function. The author discovers that the std::min and std::max implementation produces the best code, while the std::clamp implementation is not very efficient. They also […]
The author of this content discusses their experience in creating a cross-platform barcode scanner for a research project. They wanted to develop a simple library that could be used in the browser of a mid-tier smartphone and could recognize multiple barcodes in one camera frame. After exploring different Javascript libraries, they discovered ZBar, a widely […]
TinyML, or Tiny Machine Learning, is the application of Machine Learning in microcontrollers. These microcontrollers have limited resources, including little CPU, little RAM, and low power consumption. The TinyML Foundation is the official website of this field. The main goal is to reduce large ML models so that they can be used with microcontrollers that […]
In this web content, the author delves into the concept of “grift” and why it seems to be prevalent in today’s world. They highlight that grift thrives on selling promises that could be true, but ultimately deliver something that is not worth what was paid for. The author discusses various examples of grift, such as […]
In this study conducted by Boston Consulting Group and the researchers, the performance implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on complex and knowledge-intensive tasks are examined. The experiment involved 758 consultants, and they were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: no AI access, GPT-4 AI access, or GPT-4 AI access with a prompt engineering overview. […]
