In this post, I explore how to deconstruct machine learning…which elements remain if we put random forests, CNNs, and k-nearest neighbors into a pressure cooker? What’s left are four learnable elements that make up most of modern machine learning. You can think of them as ways of storing and applying patterns to (intermediate) features…

It’s already transforming how companies operate.

In ElevenLabs’ latest report, The State of Conversational AI in Support, discover how organizations are deploying voice agents that listen, act, and improve continuously—turning support into a strategic advantage.

While traditional applications may seem beneficial, their architecture likely hinders your business’s agility, flexibility, and responsiveness—essential for thriving in today’s rapidly evolving marketplace. Refactoring legacy code should be a strategic priority, ideally supported by modern product engineering services that align technology with business goals

This course is on algorithms for differentially private analysis of data. As necessitated by the nature of differential privacy, this course will be theoretically and mathematically based. References to practice will be provided as relevant, especially towards the end of the course…

As CPU cores become both faster and more numerous, the limiting factor for most programs is now, and will be for some time, memory access. Hardware designers have come up with ever more sophisticated memory handling and acceleration techniques–such as CPU caches–but these cannot work optimally without some help from the programmer.

We present a collection of case studies demonstrating how researchers have successfully collaborated with advanced AI models…to solve open problems, refute conjectures, and generate new proofs across diverse areas in theoretical computer science, as well as other areas such as economics, optimization, and physics.

AI News:

Claude has a new job. Goldman Sachs has been working with AI startup Anthropic for the past six months to create autonomous agents to automate a growing number of roles within the bank in at least two specific areas: accounting for trades and transactions, and client vetting and onboarding

AI can help you move faster, but real leadership still requires human judgment.

The free resource 5 Traits AI Can’t Replace explains the traits leaders must protect in an AI-driven world and why BELAY Executive Assistants are built to support them.

Any takers? On its Q4 earnings call, Reddit’s CFO said its gearing up for more M&A. The online forum site is looking for businesses that can either leverage Reddit’s scale — meaning their products become more impactful when deployed across Reddit’s massive user base — or help grow the company’s user base.

Don’t take it personally, Siri. But if Bloomberg reports are to be believed, CarPlay users could soon be able to use their chatbot of choice instead of Siri. Apple is working to add support for CarPlay voice control apps from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others, though it won’t let users replace the Siri button CarPlay or the wake word that summons the service

OpenAI’s been working on AirPods-like hardware internally codenamed “Sweetpea.” New rumors say it might be the “Dime” product that’s been floating around. Could be nothing. Could be everything.

Anthropic ran 16 Claude agents in parallel to build a C compiler from scratch. 2,000 sessions. $20,000 in API costs. The result: a 100,000-line Rust-based compiler that can build the Linux kernel.
