Jeff Dean discusses the potential of merging Google Search with large language models (LLMs) using in-context learning, emphasizing enhanced information processing and contextual accuracy while addressing computational challenges.
Google has improved Android 16’s Linux Terminal to run graphical Linux apps such as Doom, thanks to new features like hardware acceleration support and a display server. These upgrades are not yet available in the latest Android 16 beta, but they may arrive in future updates. The goal is to transform Android into a PC operating system capable of running desktop-class programs.
This tutorial demonstrates how to perform semantic clustering of user messages using Large Language Models (LLMs) by prompting them to analyze publicly available Discord messages. It covers methods for data extraction, sentiment scoring, KNN clustering, and visualization, emphasizing faster and less effort-intensive processes compared to traditional data science approaches.
The article explores Richard Dedekind's innovative concept of Dedekind cuts, which provided a rigorous foundation for the real number system by addressing the gaps within the rational numbers. It discusses how Dedekind's idea was to construct new numbers by defining cuts in rational numbers, enabling the resolution of previously unanswerable questions about irrational numbers without relying on infinite decimal expansions. The article highlights Dedekind's contribution to the evolution of mathematical thought and its impact on the development of set theory, as well as the broader implications for understanding numbers as constructions of the human mind.
The article discusses how Go can support functional programming paradigms, showcasing techniques like higher-order functions, currying, immutability, pure functions, functors, endofunctors, monoids, and monads through practical examples.
