GPT-4 is a massive model with over 10 times the size of GPT-3, boasting approximately 1.8 trillion parameters across 120 layers. OpenAI implemented a mixture of experts (MoE) model, utilizing 16 experts with about 111 billion parameters each. The routing algorithm for expert selection was allegedly simple compared to other advanced algorithms. GPT-4 was trained […]

Let’s Encrypt has announced a transition plan that will affect the compatibility of their certificates with Android devices. Previously, Let’s Encrypt had cross-signed their certificates with IdenTrust’s DST Root CA X3 to ensure widespread trust. However, as their own ISRG Root X1 became trusted on its own, they needed to make changes. Now, Let’s Encrypt […]
Immich is a high-performance self-hosted photo and video backup solution that is currently in active development. The project warns users to expect bugs and breaking changes and strongly advises against using the app as the sole storage for photos and videos. The official documentation, installation guides, and demo can be accessed on the Immich website. […]
DNA encoded with the ‘BacCam’ system and found that there was no loss of information for the encoded images when stored in both liquid and dried form. Additionally, the encoded information remained intact even when stored in varying conditions for extended periods of time. The researchers also demonstrated the multiplexing capabilities of BacCam by successfully […]

While not a full programming language, Petalisp allows for extreme optimization and parallelization. To get started, users must install Lisp and a suitable IDE, with Portacle being a recommended option. Petalisp can be downloaded via Quicklisp, and […]
The visionOS Simulator can now be streamed wirelessly to a Meta Quest headset using ALVR. This process has been tested using Xcode 15 beta 2 and macOS 14 beta 2 on Apple Silicon with the original Meta Quest. To set it up, you need to sideload ALVR Nightly 2023.07.06 onto your Meta Quest, start the […]
The Hilbert transform is a linear operation used in telecommunications engineering to obtain spectrally efficient signals. It translates signals into a phase shift of -90º at positive frequencies and +90º at negative frequencies. In the frequency domain, the Hilbert transform results in a phase shift of 90°. The Hilbert transform can be applied to baseband […]
In this web content, the author discusses how to create minimal sparklines using SVG. They explain that sparkline charts are simple charts that show a general trend. The author provides step-by-step instructions on hand crafting the SVG for the sparklines, including drawing lines and adjusting coordinates. They also explain how to scale the SVG and […]
