When I attended the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium in May, I thought that listening to CIOs talk about the latest technologies—in this case, generative AI—it reminded me of another time at the same symposium around 2010, where the discussion was all about the cloud. It’s remarkable how similar the concerns about AI were to those I heard about the nascent cloud all those years ago: companies were concerned about governance (check), security (check), and responsible use of a new technology (check). But 2010 was right on the cusp of the consumerization of IT, where employees were looking for the same…
Austin Turner and Jennifer McGraw 12 minutes ago The promise of scorching heat, beautiful beaches and delicious food was too enticing for people across the country to pass up the Fourth of July weekend, as travel to Southern California in recent days has been as busy as it has ever been. In late May, AAA predicted that nearly 71 million Americans would travel more than 50 miles during the week of Independence Day. That figure was on display at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday, as a long line formed to check bags for travelers heading home. “We expect this…
JAKARTA, July 7 (Bernama-Antara) – The next government, which will be led by Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, is expected to strengthen the competitiveness of palm oil products as a strategic product for domestic and foreign markets, an academic said, as reported by the Indonesian News Agency (Antara).

There are many ways to protect palm oil actively and passively,” he said in his statement…
Vermont Business Magazine by Doug Hoffer, Vermont Auditor The 2024 legislative session began and ended the same way—with widespread concern that a major school tax increase was imminent. Initial estimates indicated that average property tax bills could increase by 18.5 percent in the coming year. Ultimately, thanks to one-time bridge financing that defers the financial calculation to future years, the actual increase was reduced to a still-significant 13.8 percent.One of the biggest drivers of rising education costs (and the taxes that fund them)? Teacher health care costs. This year alone, they are estimated to increase by 16%. This doesn’t have…
Pratique L’un des plus gros casse-têtes associés aux charges de travail de l’IA est de gérer tous les pilotes, environnements d’exécution, bibliothèques et autres dépendances dont elles ont besoin pour s’exécuter. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les tâches accélérées par le matériel où, si vous avez la mauvaise version de CUDA, ROCm ou PyTorch, il y a de fortes chances que vous vous grattiez la tête en regardant une erreur. Comme si cela ne suffisait pas, certains projets et applications d’IA peuvent avoir des dépendances conflictuelles, tandis que différents systèmes d’exploitation peuvent ne pas prendre en charge les packages dont…
The White House race is Donald Trump’s to lose after the Democratic Party wracked its brains over President Biden’s debate debacle and whether the embattled 81-year-old candidate should remain at the top of the field, former Gov. David Paterson said. Paterson praised former Republican President Trump for showing restraint as his rival Biden and fellow Democrats are stuck in political quicksand — and said it will now be difficult for Biden or any other replacement to defeat the Republican nominee despite his scandals. “If you notice [last] “You haven’t heard much this week from a former president named Donald Trump.…
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on the In Good Company podcast that training the AI models currently under development can cost up to $1 billion. Current models like ChatGPT-4o only cost about $100 million, but he expects the cost of training these models to reach $10 billion or even $100 billion within three years.“Currently, 100 million. Some models that are being trained today are closer to a billion.” Amodei also added, “I think if we get to ten or a hundred billion, and I think that’s going to happen in 2025, 2026, maybe 2027, and the algorithmic improvements and the…
President Joe Biden departs after speaking to the media following the Supreme Court’s ruling on charges against former President Donald Trump that he sought to subvert the 2020 election, at the White House in Washington, DC, on July 1. Andrew Harnik/Getty Images House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries scheduled a virtual meeting Sunday with ranking Democratic committee members as he faces increasing pressure from his conference over President Joe Biden’s candidacy. CNN reported Friday that Jeffries summoned his members as a growing number of Democrats are urging Biden to reconsider his reelection campaign, with some going as far as calling for…
