My Downloads folder used to feel like a crime scene. iMAGE GENERATED USING AIThe article discusses the author’s experience with automating the organization of their Downloads folder using a local AI agent that analyzes new files and categorizes them appropriately without any predetermined rules. The system consists of a few components […]
There is growing attention on the links between artificial intelligence and increased energy demands. But while the power-hungry data centers being built to support AI could potentially stress electricity grids, increase customer prices and service interruptions, and generally slow the transition to clean energy, the use of artificial intelligence can also help the energy transition. For example, use of AI is reducing energy consumption and associated emissions in buildings, transportation, and industrial processes. In addition, AI is helping […]
You don’t need Python or R to start working with data. This guide walks you through using built-in Unix utilities for real statistical analysis.
Norway is the world’s largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon and a top exporter of seafood, while the United States remains the largest importer of these products, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. Two MIT students recently traveled to Trondheim, Norway to explore the cutting-edge technologies being developed and deployed in offshore aquaculture. Beckett Devoe, a senior in artificial intelligence and decision-making, and Tony Tang, a junior in mechanical engineering, first worked with MIT Sea Grant through […]
I just got a $15 tip to deliver a $1 soda in a rich neighborhood. This is just one silly example, but rich people, or just wealth in general obviously creates more opportunities and jobs for all of us submitted by /u/Crafty_Jacket668 [link] [comments]
Key Highlights: Meta is among the few tech giants that advocate open-source AI (like its Llama models) for innovation, security through community testing, cost-effectiveness for businesses, and preventing gatekeeping. But it seems Meta has realized the future with open-source AI isn’t worth it, as that goodwill won’t pay the bills for its $600 billion investment pledge in the US infrastructure. Meta is reportedly working on a “closed” model, codenamed “Avocado” Well, this comes after disappointment around Meta’s recent […]
