Microsoft presents LLMs in the Imaginarium.

Tool Learning through Simulated Trial and Error https://huggingface.co/papers/2403.

Tools are essential for large language models (LLMs) to acquire up-to-date information and take consequential actions in external environments.

The April 8 eclipse is expected to bring an increase in traffic to Central Texas.

Ocean-going vessels with no-one on board — a vision of the future that’s coming faster you think.

And that’s a problem. Figuring it out is one of the biggest scientific puzzles of our time and a crucial step towards controlling more powerful future models.

The first was to continue with a legacy vendor. Three companies — Dominion, ES&S, and Hart InterCivic — control roughly 90 percent of the U.S. voting technology market. All three are privately held, meaning they’re required to reveal little about their financial workings and they’re also committed to keeping their source code from becoming fully public.

The second future was to gamble on VotingWorks, a nonprofit with only 17 employees and voting machine contracts in just five small counties, all in Mississippi. The company has taken the opposite approach to the Big Three. Its financial statements are posted on its website, and every line of code powering its machines is published on GitHub, available for anyone to inspect.

Our presenter Jonathan Nowak, will discuss representative multiplexed assays for protein and RNA profiling built in the lab and discuss the necessary elements to operationalize this type of testing in a translational research laboratory. He will also explore the advantages of different assays and key considerations for ensuring consistently high data quality spanning hundreds to thousands of specimens.

The fascinating phenomenon of sonoluminescence, where light is produced when an underwater bubble is collapsed by a sound wave, has sparked a vibrant discussion. Despite being a subject of scientific research and debate, the exact mechanisms behind sonoluminescence are still not fully understood.

One user pointed out that this phenomenon is also known as sonoluminescence, which occurs when a small gas bubble in a liquid is collapsed by intense sound waves, emitting a short burst of light. This can happen in a laboratory setting using a device that generates and focuses sound waves into a liquid.

Several theories have been proposed to explain how the light is produced. The Hot Spot Theory suggests that the bubble’s collapse causes the gas inside to heat up to extremely high temperatures, possibly hot enough to ionize the gas and produce a plasma, which then emits light.
