Which TV will have the best picture quality in 2023? There is a lot of talk about the headline flagship sets from the consumer electronics arms of the OLED panel manufacturers, LG and Samsung, with Sony’s A95K QD-OLED successor yet to be announced, but the truth of the matter may just have been staring us in the face all along.
Let’s summarise what some of the biggest TV YouTubers and Audio-visual websites have to say before reaching a conclusion.
- Samsung S90C / S95C has potential for greater colour brightness and luminance if pushed
- LG G3 META Micro Lens Array improves brightness but not necessarily colour brightness because of the white subpixel however he found colours to be brighter perceptually
- Panasonic MZ2000 processing and picture quality made it one of the best at CES 2023
- MLA just focuses existing light better rather than increases light energy so doesn’t increase burn in risk
- MLA peaks at 2100 nits so a ‘150% increase’ (2.5x original or 1.5x original?)
- QD-OLED2 colour brightness is measurably purer since no white subpixel but perceptually MLA may appear little different
- LG Brightness Booster Max light control architecture (MLA) and light boosting algorithms increase brightness by up to 70% but just on 55, 65, 77 inch models (not 83)
- Samsung puts Micro LED top of its range with, OLED bottom and Neo QLED in the middle.
- S90/95C in 55, 65, 77 inch sizes
- MLA is brighter across all window sizes from 1% to full screen white giving more depth and punch and brighter colours
- Panasonic MZ2000 1500 nits (cd/m2) peak light output on a 10% window
- Graph shows 50% brightness boost over previous year’s LZ2000 at 10% window size but reducing to just 20% brightness boost at 100% window size.
- Though brighter MZ2000 clears image retention quicker than LZ2000
- Some scenes look identical in brightness on old LZ2000 and new MZ2000
- With ambient light blacks look less black and more pink on the new MZ2000
- MLA design uses 27 billion lenses to redirect out of the screen light previously reflected inwards
- Brightness is 50% greater than last year’s model
- MLA increases colour volume
- “True to the film maker’s vision” slogan – even though film makers take into account typical end user equipment
- 30% brighter over 2022 QD-OLED due to higher intensity light and less internal absorption
- Blacks will be truer than the greys of QD-OLED v1 due to optimisation of the top layers of the panel
- LG MLA and Samsung QD-OLED2 are the main technologies impacting top end picture quality for 2023.
- TCL Micro LED promises the best picture quality but is 5 years plus away
- Panasonic MZ2000 with MLA is vote for best of show with a visible difference against last year’s model
- Wireless HDMI is on the LG Signature OLED M model
- G3 Micro Lens Array (MLA) will achieve the best full screen brightness
- S95C QD-OLED has a brighter blue OLED material and a new anti reflective layer will reflect less light and so achieve truer blacks in a brighter room than its predecessor (OLED v1 also used by Sony A95K)
- LG G2 issues were full screen brightness, uniformity (magenta tint) and colour accuracy
- Samsung S95B issues were lifted blacks under ambient light, low bit rate content processing and bent panels
- The competition will be about high APL brightness and lower luminance colour accuracy
- Marketing materials don’t specify the brightness window sizes
- Panel may be capable of 2000 nits but the implementation in the models may be less
- Forbes states QD-OLED v2 is 1500 nits at 10% and a 30% improvement over the previous year.
- QD-OLED issues remain: colour fringing with coloured lines in bright scenes and near black smearing.
- LG G3 1500 nits on 10% window and 2000 on 3%
- Both Sony A95K (QD OLED with heat sync) and Samsung S95B (without heat sync) holds sustained brightness better though does not get so bright as LG G2.
- Panel consistency and lack of pink tinting are the main advantages of QD-OLED over OLED.
- Samsung updates in 2022, presumably to keep the panel safe, meant the S95B no longer offered its original brightness by the end of the year
- QD-OLED2 is trying to be brighter than MLA (2100 v 2000 nits)
- LG Evo G2 panel had a pink tint uniformity issue and Samsung QD-OLED S95B panel had a software update trust issue
- At CES 2023 the Samsung booth demonstrated QD-OLED v2 as being perceptibly brighter with even more saturated colours than 2022 QD-OLED.
RTINGS.com provides measurements for several popular TVs and top of the line LEDs measure and are perceived as much brighter and more impressive with bright full screen scenes than top of the line OLED TVs, whether WRGB OLED or QD-OLED.
For 10% peak and 100% sustained brightness respectively, RTINGS.com gives
- OLEDs: LG G2 (evo) 450, 190; Sony A95K (QD-OLED) 410, 148; LG G1 (2021) 406, 161
- Mini LEDs: Samsung QN95B 1,934, 569; Sony X95K 1223, 633;
- Full Array Local Dimming: Sony X95H (2020) 1085, 625
So to summarise, the latest 2023 OLEDs are 30% to 50% brighter than last year for sub 10% white windows but for full screen white are perhaps just 20% brighter so for viewing in a daytime room or bright high APL scenes with, for example, sunshine, snow or sports both of the new OLED technologies, QD-OLED v2 and MLA (META), remain much less impactful than LED designs.
Micro LED achieves the holy grail of professional reference mastering monitor black and bright performance like the 31 inch Sony BVM-HX310 but is too expensive a technology for mass market consumer sets for now and several years to come, with lower energy consumption being one of the technical challenges needing to be overcome.

In Spring 2019, IT company Futurice challenged Castor to build a self-driving remote controlled car for their race in June. Futurice sponsored the chassis, and we fit it with a camera, a Jetson Nano single-board computer and the open-source Donkeycar software library. The car learns by mirroring what a human driver does on the track: we first manually drive the car on the track, and gather the camera images and throttle/steering data. Then, a convolutional neural network learns what kind of image necessitates which amount of throttle and steering. The race was held at the Särkänniemi bumper car track between different company and university teams. Castor didn’t make it to the podium due to a camera failure the night before, but there’s always next year! markku.ai has info on Futurice’s car.
Future work with the car include modeling and making new hardware parts, optimizing the camera image for driving on a track, testing different neural network structures, and setting new records at the Tietotalo track.
The car is a good platform for tinkering with deep learning and autonomous driving. Managing Donkeycar is a good experience in working with larger Python projects, and if you haven’t used the Unix terminal much, handling Ubuntu will come naturally once you’ve used the car for a few times. Unlike Amazon’s AWS DeepRacer, skills needed also include electrical and machine engineering, since the car must be built and maintained too.


The computer network is one form of implementation of the development of computer technology. The computer network allows two or more computers are connected to each other, so that they can benefit a wide range of resources to data files as well as important information. Of course there are many things we can learn about computer networks.
The most important thing to be learned in computer networking is about how to build and also implement a computer network that is well targeted, efficient, and also of course in accordance with the needs of the user. Not only that, of the many existing computer network user must select the exact hardware computer networks are to be used as needed.
Here are some things that must be observed by network technicians and managers in developing and implementing a computer network:
- Adjust computer network with the preparation of the main needs of the user.
- Adjust also with the budget being owned by the user.
- Always use a support device that has a good quality, so that the data transmission process can proceed smoothly.
- Make sure the design of computer network topology, by analyzing the physical network location.
- Do not forget the safety factor of a computer network.
- Use the specifications of the computer server and client computers according with needs.
Computer Network Security
The most important thing in making and implementing a computer network, in addition to some of the above is to maintain the security of the computer network that can be found on itpro.tv/. Security computer network when interpreted literally mean it is an attempt of an expert or a network technician to keep computers network that have been made are not abused, tampered with and hacked by parties who are not responsible.
By using a secure computer network can make the data more secure from hacker attacks. The benefits of computer networks is one of which is to facilitate the process to share the document to different users in the same area more efficiently. Therefore, using appropriate computer network is highly recommended one of which reduce the cost of maintenance on the network hardware being used. One of them by selecting the appropriate computer network cable usage.


It looks like Ford is indeed planning to introduce an all-electric version of the Ford Puma in 2024. This new variant is expected to offer a fully electric powertrain and bring several technical advancements to the model. According to the reports, the electric 2024 Ford Puma is anticipated to feature a powertrain that delivers around 134 horsepower (100 kilowatts). While specific details regarding the battery capacity and range are not mentioned, it can be inferred that the electric Puma will likely offer a decent range to cater to everyday commuting needs.
One notable feature mentioned is the fast-charging capability of the electric Puma. The vehicle is said to support up to 100 kW charging, which would enable faster charging times and greater convenience for drivers on longer journeys. This suggests that the electric Puma may be capable of achieving a significant charge time in a relatively short period, allowing for reduced downtime during road trips.
As for design and styling, it is expected that the electric Puma will retain the overall aesthetic of the current combustion engine Puma model. The compact crossover SUV design, which combines sporty elements with practicality, is likely to carry over to the electric variant. However, it’s worth noting that there may be some minor design tweaks or aerodynamic enhancements to optimize efficiency and range for the electric powertrain.
While the sources do not provide extensive information on other features or specifications, it can be assumed that the electric Ford Puma will come equipped with modern technologies and features commonly found in electric vehicles, such as regenerative braking, advanced infotainment systems, and driver assistance systems.
2024 Ford Puma EV Is for Selected Markets
It’s also mentioned that the electric Ford Puma is expected to be introduced in Australia, indicating that it may be a global release rather than limited to specific regions.
Please note that the provided information is based on the sources you shared, and it’s always a good idea to refer to official Ford announcements or contact a Ford dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date details about the upcoming all-electric Ford Puma.
What about ICE Puma?
The more conventional variant of this small crossover will carry on in the same way. We will see a familiar design, which has been around since 2019 and which still looks pretty attractive. The Puma combines smooth aesthetics with a sleek profile, which makes it one of the most desirable models in the class. The 2024 Ford Puma will also continue to deliver good driving characteristics, thanks to its well-balanced chassis. It offers a good blend of comfort and performance, while we particularly like its precise steering and engaging handling.
Its interior will also carry one without bigger changes. The Blue Oval company keeps things simple in this case and doesn’t offer flashy details, nor try to make this cabin look funky, which is usually the case in this segment. Instead, you get a classic dashboard design, with conventional solutions, full of physical controls. The build quality is good for the class.
As for the passenger space, keep in mind that this is a subcompact SUV, so the second row isn’t particularly spacious. On the other hand, the front seats are spacious and well-shaped, with good ergonomics and good overall comfort.
2024 Ford Puma Engines
As for the powertrain, we don’t expect changes. Base models will continue with the well-known 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost, which puts out around 125 horsepower. It moves this crossover pretty decently, but there is also a version of it with a small electric motor. This mild hybrid offers slightly more torque, so driving dynamics are better, while emissions are lower.
On some markets, you can also get a 1.5-liter turbo tree-cylinder engine, with a respectable 200 horsepower. This turns Puma into a pretty impressive urban performer, with strong acceleration and overall performance.
2024 Ford Puma Release Date and Price
While the all-electric 2024 Ford Puma is yet to be confirmed, the petrol model should arrive as usual, sometime in the last quarter of the year. We don’t expect bigger changes in pricing either, so base models should go around £21.000 in the UK. This segment is crowded, but some of the key competitors are models like Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, Toyota C-HR, Jeep Renegade etc.


Almost all new cars on the road today use a transponder key. These are devices that are designed to
transmit a signal from your key to a remote receiver. While most commonly used to unlock and start vehicles, they are also used in devices like keyless entry systems and garage door openers. Transponders are programmed to start a particular vehicle which reduces the possibility of theft.
What is a transponder?
Transponder stands for transmitter + responder; it is a radio frequency device that transmits an electronic signal to another radio frequency device. The transmitter is a small microchip with a unique serial number in the plastic part of the key. This serial number is set during initial programming. There is a device near the ignition switch has the receiver. The key transmits a low-level signal that the vehicle can detect when the key is in the switch.
The small chip in your automobile receives a signal from your vehicle. If the corresponding key to the computer is not used in the car, it won’t find the correct serial number, and it will not start. The vehicle’s computer needs to receive the proper response from the transponder key. If it doesn’t, the computer will not allow the vehicle to operate.
A transponder key is a part of the car’s anti-theft system and prevents the car from being hotwired since if the device in the key isn’t detected, the car won’t start.
How do you get a copy of your car key if it has a transponder?
Most transponder keys need to be programmed to your car or cloned from an existing key for your vehicle to accept it. You can see a locksmith since they will have the equipment and expertise to make a copy of your key that works. Transponder keys are more expensive than getting a regular key because of the programming involved. While replacing or making a copy of the key will be more expensive, it is typically more affordable through a locksmith than through the dealership.
For more information about transponder keys contact Bedford Lock & Key at 781-275-1597 in Bedford, MA or 978-433-5262 in Pepperell, MA.


What is Power over Ethernet (you will hear about PoE)?
Without knowing it, we are very familiar with this principle. We have noticed that most of our mobile phone cables are used to simultaneously provide current (allowing charging) and data (allowing the backup of the contents of the phone.)
The principle of Power over Ethernet is the same: simultaneously transport data and direct current on the same cable thanks to a technology now standardized by the IEEE.
Why is it disruptive?
This principle has many advantages:
- Gain cabling, since many communicating devices, already wired to be connected to the IP network, operate on direct current and will therefore no longer need AC power: laptops, access control devices, CCTV cameras, LED lighting etc …
- Better user safety: we have never been electrocuted with 12V DC!
- Improved energy efficiency: our chargers for phones, computers and other devices that transform an AC power supply into a DC power supply consume energy, which will no longer be lost.
- The energy from batteries of electric vehicles or photovoltaic panels can be consumed without conversion, thus without loss, inside the building.
- Each device thus supplied is connected to the internet network and has an IP address. In a building, all devices powered with PoE will be controlled, monitored and will provide much information in a very economical way.
This technology is necessarily disruptive in all buildings destined to become more and more digital.
Which targeted market?
The main buildings that can benefit from the advantages offered by Power over Ethernet are firstly the tertiary office buildings. Operators or owners are expected to provide more and more services related to the occupants: the digitization of the building is essential for this.
The cost, lead-time and scalability objectives of these buildings also make PoE technology very attractive. So it’s no surprise that the first completed projects are office buildings.
Who can benefit from PoE?
First, developers and owners because they can build cheaper buildings and especially they can offer more and more services to their occupants.
The occupants of these buildings, beneficiaries of comfort services (very easy control of lighting and occultations via Smart Phones), efficiency (real-time information of free offices, meeting rooms available, the state of the waiting queue at the restaurant).
Builders, eventually able to reduce construction times through a simplification of finishing work.
Who is threatened by PoE?
First, electricians, forced (but it was already the case) to enrich their skills and expand their scope of action by incorporating knowledge of automation and low voltage current wiring. Their revenue will be reduced: the cost of material on which they took a useful margin will be considerably reduced and the divisional panelboards, located at each floor, sources of turnover, will gradually melt like snow in the sun.
Manufacturers of electrical equipment will be affected: they had pushed the regulation to impose ever higher safety standards and had benefited from the consequences in the form of sales of high value-added devices (differential circuit breaker, arrester and control devices etc …). Perhaps the manufacturers who are weaker in the tertiary sector like Legrand and Hager will see in the PoE an opportunity to shake up the lines but the leaders of the field, Schneider Electric in mind, could well be affected.
Manufacturers of equipment such as lighting, video cameras, door phones but also ventilation devices may well have an interest in differentiating quickly by offering a PoE connection allowing their products to be directly connected.
Manufacturers of building management systems, which are often integrated, heavy and difficult to update, will now be threatened by app developers, using data acquired at a lower cost and available in the cloud.
Some key success factors
The greater the number of DC power and PoE devices, the greater the economic benefits and the greater the number of services provided in the buildings.
The regulation of electricity in buildings will be a key issue in the coming years. Designed for technical solutions today challenged, they will have to evolve to allow the development of PoE but will be, obviously, a field of expression of the defensive strategies.
It is the users, who will highly benefit from the innovations, who could pose as referees for these future battles.

There’s a lot of talk about video intercoms these days. They’re seen as this new, innovative way to improve security and communication in both residential and commercial settings. But what exactly is an ip video intercom? How does it work? In this blog post, we will explore all things ip video intercom. From the basics of how it works to its many benefits, read on to learn everything you need to know about this cutting-edge technology.
What is IP Video Intercom?
An ip video intercom is a type of intercom system that uses Internet Protocol (IP) to send and receive audio and video signals. Ip video intercom systems can be used for a variety of applications, including security, building management, and customer service.
ip video intercom systems typically consist of two main components: an IP camera and an IP phone. The IP camera captures video footage of the area around the intercom, while the IP phone allows users to communicate with each other using voice-over IP (VoIP).
ip video intercom systems offer several advantages over traditional analog intercom systems. For example, because they use IP networks, they can be easily integrated with other IP-based security systems, such as access control and CCTV. Additionally, ip video intercoms are often more scalable than analog systems, making them ideal for large buildings or multi-site installations.
How does IP Video Intercom Work?
IP video intercom is a technology that allows you to use your existing IP network infrastructure to deliver video and audio communication between people in different locations. By using an ip video intercom system, you can save on the cost of traditional telephone calls, as well as on the installation and maintenance of a separate intercom system.
Enhancing Your Home Security With IP Video Intercom
Most people are familiar with the concept of a video intercom, which is a system that allows two-way communication between two parties using video technology. However, what many people don’t know is that there is such a thing as an ip video intercom, which adds an extra layer of security to your home.
An IP video intercom system uses Internet Protocol (IP) to transmit data, which means that it can be used to connect to devices all over the world. This type of system is often used in commercial buildings, but it can also be used in residential settings.
There are many benefits to using an ip video intercom system in your home. For one, it gives you the ability to see who is at your door before you open it. This can be helpful if you’re expecting a delivery or want to make sure that someone isn’t trying to break into your home.
Another benefit of using an ip video intercom system is that you can use it to remotely unlock your door for guests. This can be useful if you’re away from home and want to let a friend or family member inside without having to give them a key.
If you’re looking for a way to add an extra layer of security to your home, an ip video intercom system is a great option.
How to Choose the Right IP Video Intercom System
If you’re looking to add an ip video intercom system to your home or business, there are a few things you’ll need to take into consideration to choose the right one.
1. Your budget: How much you’re willing to spend on an ip video intercom system will play a big role in which one you ultimately choose. There are a variety of options available at different price points, so it’s important to set a budget upfront and then narrow your search accordingly.
2. The size of your facility: The number of entrances/exits and the overall square footage of your property will help determine how many units you’ll need and what type of system will be best suited for your needs.
3. Your security needs: What kind of security features do you require? Do you need something basic or more robust? Be sure to consider your specific security needs when making your decision.
4. Ease of use: Some IP video intercom systems can be quite complex, so it’s important to find one that’s user-friendly and easy to install and operate. If you’re not particularly tech-savvy, opt for a system with clear instructions and minimal setup required.
There’s a lot to learn when it comes to ip video intercoms, but hopefully, this article has given you a good starting point. There are many benefits to using an ip video intercom, including the ability to see who is at your door before letting them in and the added security of being able to communicate with them directly. If you’re thinking about installing an ip video intercom system in your home or business, be sure to do your research so that you can find the perfect system for your needs.


I was doing some research when I came across a catchy article “AI is far more dangerous than nukes”. For as long as I’ve worked in the automotive industry, I’ve have a strong interest in technology and IoT; therefore, this AI topic totally got my attention.
The article was written after an interview with Elon Musk at SXSW. During the conference, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, more than once time emphasised the dangers of AI are far beyond those of nuclear weapons. Musk suggested doomsday could be right around the corner, if people continue to underestimate AI’s exponential improvements.
If a random person said to me that robots and automation would take over the world soon, I would tell them to stop watching so many Hollywood sci-fi movies. However, this is Elon Musk, the person at the forefront of self-driving technology… Oh well, he must have a valid reason.
The Silicon Valley billionaire claimed that he was very close to the cutting edge in AI and was frightening by its capabilities. To be fair, if you ever want to put a chip in a human brain then you should of course be worried. Not because AI could develop a mind its own and turn against us, but worried about the indescribable power held by those that create, develop and control the AI in the first place.
My point is AI is not dangerous; it is still a product of human design. AI does not have its own consciousness; it is designed to do what it is programmed to do. And if doomsday ever happens, we need to question the true purpose of those that created the AI in the first place.
This will be a huge challenge for digital marketers to approach customers and gaining their trust if customers are exposed to unclear information and refuse to use AI products. Therefore, I totally agree with Elon that AI development must be regulated for our safety.
What else can we do to overcome these challenges? Share your thoughts and ideas at the comments section below. I hope to have great further discussions.


Manufacturing more computer chips in Europe and the US will be one of the key focuses of a new technology alliance between the two.
The Trade and Technology Council (TTC) was unveiled following talks between European commissioner Margrethe Vestager and US President Joe Biden.
The group will also seek to set common standards for new technologies such as artificial intelligence.
Both sides are concerned by the rise of China as a technology superpower.
A statement on the summit, includes a pledge to build “an EU-US partnership on the rebalancing of global supply chains in semiconductors”.
The pandemic has led to global chip shortages and exposed weaknesses in supply chains, causing shortages of consumer electronics, such as gaming consoles, as well as slowing down production of cars.
Last month, IBM president Jim Whitehurst said the shortage could last for another two years.
The EU wants to increase its share of the global chip-manufacturing market from 10% to 20% and has promised $150bn (£100bn) towards the effort.
Meanwhile, the US has allocated $52bn to domestic chip manufacturing.
The TTC will also include working groups on:
the internet of things
information and communications technology security
As well as looking at cooperation and standards, the groups will also assess the “misuse of technology threatening security and human rights”.

Higo mini-B connector splitter for integration of brake lighting in e-bike system
From the beginning of 2015, a European directive on e-bike brake lighting has taken effect. This directive states that all e-bikes should have brake lights that light up stronger the harder you press the brakes. For this reason, e-bike manufacturers are obliged to integrate such a brake lighting system into their e-bike design.
Meanwhile Higo has worked out a mini-B connector splitter that connects the two brakes on the frontside of the e-bike via one cable with the rear light at the back.

Technology: In DSpace, Ideas Are Forever
The libraries at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are earnestly bookish (2.6 million volumes and 17,000 journals) but increasingly digital (275 databases and 3,800 electronic journals). And just as e-mail dealt a blow to snail mail, digital archives are retooling scholarly exchange. A number of universities, from the California Institute of Technology to M.I.T., are creating ”institutional repositories” designed to harness their own intellectual output. M.I.T.’s archive, perhaps the most ambitious, is called DSpace (www.dspace.org).
Scholarly Storage: Traditionally, journals make research public after peer review, which can take months, sometimes years. Archives like DSpace, however, collect unpublished work — documents of any length, lecture notes, photos, videos, computer simulations, blueprints, software — in all disciplines and make most of it available to anyone as soon as it’s received.

Steam power takes to the road again
To the engineers and steam buffs gathered in the auditorium, most of the images in Roger Waller’s video were familiar enough – the gleaming bulk of a black locomotive standing in Waller’s workshop, a small loco climbing a precipitous mountain railway, an elegant paddle steamer crossing the blue waters of a Swiss lake. What caused a ripple of surprise, though, was a short sequence near the end. It showed a small green car with a round silver tank zipping along a Swiss road, its twin exhausts puffing out clouds of white vapour.
Waller is a modern steam pioneer. Along with a team at his engineering company DLM in Schaffhausen, northern Switzerland, he has spent the last decade redesigning and modernising steam locomotives to make them far cleaner, and more profitable, than “old steam”.

Cancer treatment: Sharp shooters
Radiation treatment helps to control cancer. With types of beams unlike traditional X-rays, the hope is to reach tumors more precisely with more lethal force and to have less effect on healthy tissue that is next to a tumor. Charged particles such as carbon ions might be the answer. Facilities around the world have treated around 12,000 people with carbon ions. The particles need to be accelerated to around 70% of the speed of light and shot with great precision at a person’s tumor.

Beautiful Bioimages for the Eyes of Many Beholders
A handful of image-sharing databases and software systems is becoming available, and these images might change the way biologists look at their own and other researchers’ data–if several obstacles can be overcome. Aside from the technical difficulties of creating user-friendly databases and interconnected networks of images in the scientific literature, there are pesky legal and ethical questions, such as ownership and credit.
In genomics, there are a lot of software tools but without benchmarks , you don’t really know how well the tool does in which situation. I checked in with some benchmarkers, they’re cool and they have a lovely sense of humor, too.
Here is one benchmarking pun. And there are more in the story. Again, a marvelous collaboration with scientists and the oh-so-talented Erin Dewalt, who drew this. And thank you, Kasper!

The center will also develop new tools for information dissemination and electronic management, and negotiate on behalf of all the institutes to cut deals for cheaper access to electronic journals.
MIT’s Technology Review, January 1998
Telecommunications seeks its guiding light
“Pipe it in!” That’s the battle cry in telecommunications these days. The more information that can travel down an optical fiber-whether as phone calls, video games, movies, or symphonies-the better. Now MIT researchers in materials science, physics, and electrical engineering and computer science have collaborated to create a device that could dramatically increase the carrying capacity of optical fibers. The device, a “photonic bandgap microcavity resonator,” uses a microcavity, or defect, in a material called photonic crystal to guide the behavior of photons in much the same way that defects in a semiconductor can be used to control electrical properties.

DataRobot has made its AI Cloud platform available on Google Cloud Marketplace and integrated the technology with GitHub and other online services in a move that could boost the independent vendor’s appeal to large enterprises.
The AI and machine learning provider also updated its AI Cloud with new automation tools for compliance in regulated industries, and added more algorithmic bias detection and prevention capabilities and specialized tools to data scientists.
Mike GualtieriAnalyst, Forrester
“It’s essential that every independent AI platform runs effortlessly on Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and AWS,” said Forrester analyst Mike Gualtieri. “DataRobot officially on Google Cloud Marketplace will allow customers to try, adopt and scale BPCs. »
DataRobot is already available in the cloud marketplaces of the two largest cloud service providers, with AI Cloud Platform on Azure and DataRobot’s Automated Machine Learning platform available on AWS.
Full market availability of the third-largest cloud provider is a milestone that DataRobot has been forced to achieve, even as DataRobot competes with Google’s own AI systems, Gualtieri said.
“From a market perspective, I don’t think it changes DataRobot’s competitiveness,” Gualtieri said. “It’s just something they had to do. They are not early. They are not late.
AWS, Microsoft and Google are eager to welcome smaller competitors as they expand the ecosystems of these tech giants, he said.
DataRobot revealed AI Cloud availability on Google Cloud Marketplace and new integrations with the GitHub online software development repository and other platforms on Tuesday. The announcement was made just before the start of the vendor’s two-day virtual conference, DataRobot AIX 2022.
A subscription for DataRobot’s Platform on Google Cloud, which includes AutoML and MLOps functionality, is listed for $5,416.67 per month or $65,000 per year.
Connection to other platforms
In addition to GitHub, DataRobot said it has integrated with log management provider Sumo Logic, cybersecurity and IT operations provider Splunk, IT monitoring provider Datadog, and customer service technology provider Zendesk. .
Although DataRobot introduced a host of updates and new features for AI Cloud, the vendor’s platform upgrades were widely expected, Gualtieri said.
Among the new features and capabilities in DataRobot’s latest round of upgrades are what the vendor calls built-in code-first notebooks, which allow data scientists to do coding work.
Now in preview, the technology comes from DataRobot’s May 2021 acquisition of cloud-based data science and analytics platform provider Zepl.
Additionally, DataRobot has added geospatial functionality to its no-code predictive AI applications for business users. The vendor has also highlighted a number of upgraded or expanded features. These include in particular the following:
- Automated compliance documentation for all AI and machine learning models, including those built outside of DataRobot;
- bias mitigation capabilities that automatically identify and adapt models before they reach deployment;
- Enterprise MLOps to support full model lifecycles and provide open models that IT groups can connect to third-party software platforms and services;
- more support for DevOps practices, with integration with GitHub Actions to automate machine learning workflows in accordance with continuous integration-continuous delivery principles.
Boston-based DataRobot competes with other independent AI vendors, including open source H2O.ai, Dataiku, Databricks, SAS and Jupyter Notebook.
While DataRobot has raised $1 billion in venture capital over 10 rounds, acquired seven small vendors and reached a market valuation of up to $6.3 billion, it has faced significant setbacks during its rapid growth in the course of the last decade.
More recently, the private provider laid off around 70 staff – 7% of its workforce – in early May amid a declining market for tech companies.
In March 2020, DataRobot downsized at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but did not disclose how many employees it let in. that roet layoffs.


Your IP Address Is: 126.96.36.199
United States, Fairfield
What is an IP address?
Every device connected to the public Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses consist of four numbers separated by periods (also called a 'dotted-quad') and look something like 127.0.0.1.
Since these numbers are usually assigned to internet service providers within region-based blocks, an IP address can often be used to identify the region or country from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. An IP address can sometimes be used to show the user's general location.
Because the numbers may be tedious to deal with, an IP address may also be assigned to a Host name, which is sometimes easier to remember. Hostnames may be looked up to find IP addresses, and vice-versa. At one time ISPs issued one IP address to each user. These are called static IP addresses. Because there is a limited number of IP addresses and with increased usage of the internet ISPs now issue IP addresses in a dynamic fashion out of a pool of IP addresses (Using DHCP). These are referred to as dynamic IP addresses. This also limits the ability of the user to host websites, mail servers, ftp servers, etc. In addition to users connecting to the internet, with virtual hosting, a single machine can act like multiple machines (with multiple domain names and IP addresses).

Recently I've upgraded my setup and got Lenovo T480s with all max configuration(Intel i7-8650U) and additional 32Gb RAM
TL;DR: everything works really well on Ubuntu 20.04, 40Gb is just enough to run modern web applications. But in 2020 it's probably worth to consider modern models of computers and next generation CPU. Conclusion: while performance is good the design was upsetting
In this post I'll share some observations after a week of use for work. As a reminder I'm a backend and Android developer mostly focusing on JVM stack
What is GOOD
- 🚀 Comparing to my 4 years old ASUS with Intel i7-6500U it's significally faster, mostly because of the twice more cores
- 💎 The laptop body feels very solid, nothing bends
- 🧠 There is a memory slot for SO-DIMM - you can get an additional 32Gb. Soldered 8Gb + additional 32Gb module in the spare slot results in 40Gb!
- 📱 Laptop comes with touch screen. It's not a big deal but sometimes it could be useful - for example when running an Android emulator or browsing internet - pinch to zoom can be very convenient to show details somebody
- 💾 It has NVMe SSD drive with hardware self encryption supporting OPAL2 - for the extra peace of mind
- 🔋57Wh battery is quite decent given 8Wh discharge rate when only Chromium is open, one can expect about 6 hours off the grid while performing lights tasks in Linux
What is BAD
This notebook has a really good hardware - it's exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately while chasing performance I ignored quite obvious problems reddit was full of.
- 🔥 It's ducking hot . I mean it's really aiming to burn down knees to the ashes even when it doesn't do anything. Forget about keeping it on you. Not only the bottom of the laptop is on fire - the flames hurt fingers and joints. 15-20 mins working on the warm keyboard and want to wash hands with cold water. The most bizarre part is the actual temperature of the CPU cores without any load is ~42°C-44°C(107°F-111°F) which is absolutely normal. It seems there is a problem with heat conduction. Somehow instead of blowing heat out it distributed all over the laptop body.
- 🚒 When CPUs are 100% loaded it opens a portal to hell. Although CPU cores are just within 60°C(140°F) - quite a normal temperature the fans are working tirelessly but without any success. It becomes physically painful to type on the laptop's keyboard. It's pretty much the same tortue as holding hand over campfire
- 🖕🏼 Fingerprint scanner doesn't work in Linux. Period.
- 🔉 T480s has absolutely rubbish speakers. I mean, why would somebody save money on the decent speakers for the laptop worth £1500? The maximum volume is extremely quiet and has rattling high pitch sound - very much like the sound quality of your first ever mobile phone.
- 🖲 Touchpad has huge buttons on the top of it. These buttons take like 20% of the touchpad area! That area could be occupied by the touchpad sensor itself or easily combined as many other laptops have.
- ⌨ The print screen button is on the lower row between
Ctrl. Tell me in what universe that would be more useful than a menu key? Also,
Ctrlare swapped for some reason but can be returned back in the BIOS setup. That's insane design solution
As a linux user I always do a quick check before buying a laptop just to ensure that the OS works more or less with given hardware. So it's my turn to publish some output, hopefully somebody finds it useful:

T480s is a well built laptop but has some unexplainable flaws which personally for me devalue this computer a lot. While hardware is very good for 2020 the UX could be significantly improved - heatsink has to be much better, speakers to be replaced with something decent, and "innovations" for the keyboard layout should be never welcomed.
