of the new things I’ve come across recently, while researching command-line-based coding assistants, is the mention and use of a tool I hadn’t heard of before. That tool is called Tmux, which stands for Terminal Multiplexer.  In the simplest possible terms, Tmux allows you to split up a single terminal window into a number of …

I with countless organizations that are surrounded by more data than they know what to do with. Metrics flood in from every direction, from website traffic numbers to ad impressions and conversion rates. Yet somehow, the decisions still feel like guesswork. The problem is not lack of data; it is that data alone does not …

New research shows that reorganizing a model’s visual representations can make it more helpful, robust and reliable “Visual” artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. We use it to sort our photos, identify unknown flowers and steer our cars. But these powerful systems do not always “see” the world as we do, and they sometimes behave in …
