In machine learning, few ideas have managed to unify complexity the way the periodic table once did for chemistry. Now, researchers from MIT, Microsoft, and Google are attempting to do just that with I-Con, or Information Contrastive Learning. The idea is deceptively simple: represent most machine learning algorithmsclassification, regression, clustering, and even large language modelsas special cases of one general principle: learning the relationships between data points.

Did science fiction just quietly become our everyday tech reality? Because just a few years ago, the idea of machines that think, plan, and act like humans felt like something straight from the pages of Asimov or a scene from Westworld. This used to be futuristic fiction! However, with AI agents , this advanced machine intelligence is slowly turning into a reality.These AI agents use memory, make decisions, switch roles, and even collaborate with other agents to get things done.

Three years ago, I was part of a team responsible for developing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters for end user customers. A main source for downtime in customer environments occurred when image registries went down. The traditional way to solve this problem is to set up a stateful mirror, however we had to work within customer budget and time constraints which did not allow it.

Your employer pays you to spend more time with them than you spend with your family and/or loved ones. Your employer is one of the biggest influencers on your mental well-being. Your employer can and will replace you in a heartbeat if absolutely necessary. Let me be explicitly clear, your employer isnt your family and they are not your friend. They pay you to do a job and in return your only responsibility is to do that job well.

Quantizing large language models has become a standard way to reduce their memory and computational costs. Typically, existing methods focus on breaking down the problem into individual layer-wise sub-problems, and minimizing per-layer error, measured via various metrics. Yet, this approach currently lacks theoretical justification and the metrics employed may be sub-optimal.
