In this paper, we delve into the question of whether deep learning outshines traditional tree-based models like XGBoost and Random Forests when it comes to tabular data. Through extensive benchmarks on various datasets and hyperparameter combinations, we discover that tree-based models still reign supreme on medium-sized data sets, despite the speed advantage deep learning models […]

Our mission is to bring the power of Shen technology, meaning ‘highest spirit’ in Chinese, to all major programming platforms. Since 2021, Shen has used S series kernels, offering pattern matching, lambda calculus consistency, macros for domain-specific languages, lazy evaluation, static type checking, Prolog integration, a compiler-compiler, and support for multiple languages and operating systems. […]
Andrzej Janik has released ZLUDA 3, an open-source project allowing GPU-based applications for NVIDIA GPUs to run on other hardware, switching from Intel to AMD GPUs. The wrapper enables apps to run unmodified and has varying success with Blender and photogrammetry apps. Janik’s journey from developing ZLUDA at Intel to open-sourcing updated code for AMD […]
Filament is a unique hardware description language (HDL) that utilizes a Rust-inspired type system to ensure correct composition of hardware pipelines. Its type system addresses structural hazards and eliminates them at compile-time, generating helpful error messages to explain issues. Filament’s type system handles timing constraints, erases types post-composition for efficient Verilog code generation, and simplifies […]
John Scalzi acknowledges that he became a writer to make a lot of money, not just for the love of writing. He emphasizes how being rich makes life easier, and that writing has always been a part of his plan to achieve financial success. Scalzi is unapologetic about the commercial aspect of his writing, as […]

Trusted by high-performing teams worldwide, Ubicloud provides an open alternative to closed-source providers like AWS and Azure, reducing costs and returning control of infrastructure back to the user. Unique features include GitHub Actions Integration for a 10x cost reduction, Managed […]
In 2026, Euro NCAP will deduct points if cars lack physical controls for key functions, aiming to reduce distraction crashes caused by touchscreen overreliance. While the automotive industry has made strides in safety and efficiency, Euro NCAP believes the shift to touchscreens poses risks. The organization urges manufacturers to incorporate physical controls for turn signals, […]
Based is a revolutionary architecture that combines sliding window attention and linear attention to enhance language modeling with strong associative recall. Compared to Transformers using Flash-Attention 2, Based offers a 24x improvement in throughput during inference. By balancing recall abilities with the size of the recurrent state, Based outperforms prior sub-quadratic models in real-world tasks […]
