Traditional hashing techniques like perceptual hashing (pHash) and locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) are widely used for image similarity detection. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) provide a more robust alternative by modeling image relationships as a graph and propagating similarity information through message passing.

In the heart of the Mediterranean, Kalamos Island faces the challenges that often come with remote living—access to efficient micro-mobility and healthcare.

Dexaran, author of ERC-223 and head of Ethereum Commonwealth, has looked deeper into the attack itself and revealed that the defense mechanism wasn't really that robust, and that someone inside Bybit could conceivably be involved in the hack.

Leo Ovdiienko, COO & Co-founder of Storyby, explores AI’s role in content creation and why production studios should embrace it rather than resist it.

Researchers created a new s1 model based on Alibaba’s Qwen2.5 and paid $50 for tokens to Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking (free with limits) 16 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, and in 26 minutes got a competitor to the o1-preview model that answers math questions 27% better. This research challenges the notion that state-of-the-art AI requires billion-dollar training pipelines.

Skeptics argue that LLMs, trained on next-token prediction, lack true world models. However, research suggests they may internally simulate real-world interactions. Experiments with GPT-4 generating text-based games hint at task-relevant world modeling, though verification remains difficult. Theoretical arguments also propose that next-token prediction efficiency may lead to encoding causal and semantic structures.

Sebastian Scheplitz, CEO of The Coinomist, we will give you an overview of the key aspects of building a successful crypto media outlet.

Spynn Publicity, a high-tech PR agency specializing in media campaigns, has outlined a strategy that could influence how tech companies present new products to the public.

The first-ever chatbot for customer interactions was created all the way back in the early 2000s. SmarterChild was merely a template machine — no AI, no intelligence. Today, things have changed dramatically.

The future belongs not to those with the most impressive certificates, but to those with the courage to envision new possibilities.

Sleep can be described as the interval that sets of electrical and chemical signals have interactions + attributes of internal senses take precedence, resulting in a curve. This means that sets of signals get prioritized at different intervals, more regularly than they would during the day. However, for sleep to set in, there has to be a drop of some of the interactions +...

AI models can mimic human language fluently but struggle with true understanding. Critics argue they lack semantic competence and real-world grounding, relying instead on statistical patterns and linguistic structures. Some researchers propose that AI could achieve a degree of meaning through structured training, but questions remain about its ability to form communicative intentions

The success of LLMs in learning syntax without innate grammatical knowledge challenges traditional nativist claims about language acquisition. However, AI models are trained on far more data than human children, raising questions about comparability. New research, including the BabyLM challenge, tests whether AI can learn grammar in more human-like conditions, potentially redefining our understanding of language learning.

AI models face a long-standing debate on compositionality. While some claim neural networks must implement symbolic rules, others argue for a non-classical cognitive structure. Recent advances in Transformer models suggest ANNs may achieve compositional generalization without explicit rules, challenging traditional cognitive models.

40% of managers reported feeling doubtful about their ability to manage remote teams. Asana is a cloud-based tool that lets you manage your remote team from anywhere.

Startups are hard, and I’ve seen (and built) a few that made mistakes so glaring from the outside but nearly invisible when you’re in the trenches. Let’s break down three early-stage founder blunders — because knowing what *not* to do might save your company.

Commerce DeFi bridges decentralized finance (DeFi) with real-world commerce, making crypto practical for daily expenses like buying coffee or paying rent. By leveraging stablecoins, instant blockchain payments, and tokenized loyalty, it aims to reduce fees, speed up transactions, and enhance financial accessibility. Unlike traditional payment systems, which rely on intermediaries and high fees, Commerce DeFi offers peer-to-peer, global, and instant transactions. While early adoption...

Cybersecurity is a multi-billion-dollar industry, yet breaches are more rampant than ever. hacking has become completely democratized. The world pours billions into cybersecurity, much of it wasted on ineffective solutions. Cybersecurity industry operates just like Big Tobacco, Big Sugar and Big V.
