After rebooting the Pebble smartwatch, founder Eric Migicovsky is expanding his company’s device lineup with a new smart wearable: an AI-powered smart ring known as Index 01. Named for the finger where the ring is meant to be worn, the new $75 ring is not meant to be a competitor to the always-on, always-listening AI devices, like the AI pendant Friend, but instead offers a way to record quick notes and reminders with a press of a button […]
A 65-year-old retired doorman in Queens is heading to prison next month — not for killing his attacker in self-defense, but for possessing the unlicensed firearm that saved his life. lead , In a recent op-ed titled He Held the Door for Years, But the Court Slammed One on Him, Cato scholar Mike Fox details how American juries have strayed from the founders’ intent of being the community’s conscience, in part writing: , “We have replaced community conscience with […]
How I keep up with papers with a mix of manual and AI-assisted reading The post Reading Research Papers in the Age of LLMs appeared first on Towards Data Science.
Isolation Forest may look technical, but its idea is simple: isolate points using random splits. If a point is isolated quickly, it is an anomaly; if it takes many splits, it is normal. Using the tiny dataset 1, 2, 3, 9, we can see the logic clearly. We build several random trees, measure how many splits each point needs, average the depths, and convert them into anomaly scores. Short depths become scores close to 1, long depths close […]
Standard LLMs rely on prompt engineering to fix problems (hallucinations, poor response, missing information) that come from issues in the backend architecture. If the backend (corpus processing) is properly built from the ground up, it is possible to offer a full, comprehensive answer to a meaningful prompt, without the need for multiple prompts, rewording your query, having to go through a chat session, or prompt engineering. In this article, I explain how to do it, focusing on enterprise […]
In this tutorial, we build an advanced meta-cognitive control agent that learns how to regulate its own depth of thinking. We treat reasoning as a spectrum, ranging from fast heuristics to deep chain-of-thought to precise tool-like solving, and we train a neural meta-controller to decide which mode to use for each task. By optimizing the trade-off between accuracy, computation cost, and a limited reasoning budget, we explore how an agent can monitor its internal state and adapt its […]
