CA Fires Spotlight Licensing Carriers for Inmates
California’s recent wildfires were fought by over 780 inmate firefighters who received rigorous taxpayer-funded training. But until recent reforms, many of these trained firefighters faced insurmountable barriers to employment after release—state licensing laws blocked them from the very careers they’d prepared for. lead , Cato scholar Stephen Slivinski examines this issue in a new Washington Post opinion piece, revealing how occupational licensing laws create employment barriers for 70 million Americans with criminal records. The evidence is clear: employment is […]

Language Models: A 75-Year Journey That Didn’t Start With Transformers
Introduction Language models have existed for decades — long before today’s so-called “LLMs.” In the 1990s, IBM’s alignment models and smoothed n-gram systems trained on hundreds of millions of words set performance records. By the 2000s, the internet’s growth enabled “web as corpus” datasets, pushing statistical models to dominate natural language processing (NLP). Yet, many believe language modelling began in 2017 with Google’s Transformer architecture and BERT. In reality, Transformers revolutionized scalability but were just one step in a much […]

It’s the Humidity: How International Researchers in Poland, Deep Learning and NVIDIA GPUs Could Change the Forecast
For more than a century, meteorologists have chased storms with chalkboards, equations, and now, supercomputers. But for all the progress, they still stumble over one deceptively simple ingredient: water vapor. Humidity is the invisible fuel for thunderstorms, flash floods, and hurricanes. It’s the difference between a passing sprinkle and a summer downpour that sends you sprinting for cover. And until now, satellites have struggled to capture it with the detail needed to warn us before skies crack open. […]

The Rational Bull Elk
I watch a lot of nature documentaries. I’m not very choosy about the animals covered, whether whales, moles, lions, ants, chameleons, blowfish, or mosquitoes. I’m even fascinated by footage of bacteria under a microscope. I’m usually immersed as I sit in front of my large-screen television, so long as I learn something about the intricacies of the species filmed in vibrant colors. What do they eat and how do they avoid being eaten? What are their life expectancies, […]

The Tiny AI Agent That Saved My System Before Any Monitoring Tool Even Noticed
Author(s): Manash Pratim Originally published on Towards AI. There’s a moment every engineer dreads. The dashboards are green. The alerts are silent. Everything looks calm until it isn’t. One minute your logs are flowing normally. The next minute, the system collapses like a badly timed Jenga tower. Image generated using AIThe article discusses the author’s experience creating a small Python agent that monitors system logs in real-time, catching issues before traditional monitoring tools can trigger alerts. By focusing […]
