I recently built a data harmonization pipeline for a biotech intelligence product using a combination of rule-based harmonization and LLM inference (OpenAI’s GPT-4o). While LLMs can be powerful tools, I’ll discuss how I approach integrating them into data pipelines, and my less is more approach to using LLMs in data engineering.
A reverse mortgage can be a smart way for older homeowners to fund home improvement projects – especially upgrades that make aging in place safer and more comfortable. Whether it’s remodeling a kitchen, installing a walk-in tub, or adding ramps and railings for accessibility, the loan lets you tap into your home’s equity for cash without monthly payments.

NoSQL databases are becoming popular day by day. I have come up with the list of best, free and open source NoSQL databases. MongoDB tops the list of Open Source NoSQL databases. This list of free and open source databases comprises of MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB, Hypertable, Redis, Riak, Neo4j, HBASE, Couchbase, MemcacheDB, RevenDB and Voldemort.

A new active learning method for curating high-quality data that reduces training data requirements for fine-tuning LLMs by orders of magnitude. Classifying unsafe ad content has proven an enticing problem space for leveraging large language models (LLMs). The inherent complexity involved in identifying policy-violating content demands solutions capable of deep contextual and cultural understanding, areas of relative strength for LLMs over traditional machine learning systems.

Using Claude Code and other agentic coding tools has become all the rage. Not only is it getting millions of downloads, but these tools are also gaining features that help streamline workflows. As you know, I got very excited about agentic coding in May, and I’ve tried many of the new features that have been added. I’ve spent considerable time exploring everything on my plate

Let's dissect the art and science of context engineering, one module at a time!…This article will cover the key ideas behind creating LLM applications using Context Engineering principles, visually explain these workflows, and share code snippets that apply these concepts practically…

Piko (GitHub Repo)
Piko is a reverse proxy to connect to external networks. It can be used to expose services in a customer network, as a bring-your-own-cloud service, or to connect to IoT devices.
Image Deraining (GitHub Repo)
ESDNet is a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) designed for image deraining tasks. It capitalizes on the unique properties of rain pixel values to enhance spike signal intensity.
AI News:

As o3 and other favorite AI models leave ChatGPT, GPT-5 takes center stage. GPT-4o will stick around a bit longer, but only for Plus users who choose it. Altman also promises doubled GPT-5 limits, UI updates, and more rollout fixes.
Investors have historically turned to gold because of its stability. Gold can act like a safety net in your portfolio because its value tends to stay afloat – even when the stock market dives. It’s also considered a hedge against inflation, meaning its value can rise as the buying power of cash goes down. Check out our list of top-rated Gold IRA providers, including some that offer educational materials for gold-investing beginners.

With AI-powered answers, advanced charting, and a live news feed, Google’s updated Finance platform is positioning itself to compete head-on with rival platforms like Yahoo Finance and Seeking Alpha.

Amazon’s self-driving taxi company, Zoox, just got approval from U.S. regulators to test its unique driverless pods that have no steering wheel or pedals. The exemption covers 64 vehicles and allows them to be used for demos, not for commercial rides. Zoox had self-certified its safety in 2022, but regulators found issues and launched a probe.

The war for top AI talent is hitting frenzied new heights among giants like Meta and OpenAI. But it’s turning out that Anthropic, maker of the popular Claude models, is the place many engineers would rather work. New research from venture firm SignalFire shows that the startup is increasing its engineering organization faster than those competitors and more. The $170 billion AI company is hiring engineers 2.68 times faster than it’s losing them. That number is 2.18 for OpenAI, 2.07 for Meta and 1.17 for Google.

NASA and Google are building an AI-powered doctor to help astronauts diagnose and treat illnesses during deep space missions. It’s already showing strong accuracy in clinical tests and could one day be a space medic.

How to research complex topics with AI

Go to Manus and sign up.
Make sure to get the Pro plan, which grants Wide Research access.
Enter a prompt describing a large-scale task.
Sample Prompt: Compare 100 [enter niche] across multiple dimensions—core features, pricing models, target user segments, design aesthetics, resale market metrics, and brand revenue performance—and publish a comprehensive sortable comparison matrix online.
Manus will automatically spin up multiple subagents. Assign each a piece of the task and compile results into structured formats (tables, web pages, or assets)
Review the output, you can leave the job running and return later to view the compiled results.
You can use Wide Research to do market research, create content, research a long list of sales leads and more.
