Running very large language models (LLM) locally, on consumer hardware, is now possible thanks to quantization methods such as QLoRa and GPTQ. Considering how long it takes to load an LLM, we may also want to keep the LLM in memory to query it and have the results instantly. If you...

The life of an entrepreneur can be tough. The life of a solopreneur, i.e. someone with a one-person business, can be even tougher. I know what that’s like. I was a solopreneur myself long before I started Jotform. Doing everything by yourself can be extremely stressful and mentally ex...

An ominous billboard grabbed my attention during my morning walk, a difficult feat to achieve at 6 a.m., slightly hungover. In elegant white letters it proclaimed: “I Saw The Best Minds of My Generation Destroyed By Social Media.” Hm. Not an original thought — it&rsq...

One question I am regularly asked is how to develop the next generation of leaders. First, start early. Discover the latent leaders within your teams. Search for hidden talents, ready to take on the world. Empower them to take charge. Allow them to lead the meetings. Allow them to plan the ...

A brief look into image generation and AI. Imagine looking at a picture of a duck on a screen that’s all fuzzy with static. If you narrow your eyes, you might make out the shape of the duck. You could even try painting over the static to make the duck clearer. Think of it like spot...

With ChatGPT, we are now experiencing the iPhone moment of AI, where individuals of all technical levels can interact with an advanced computing platform using everyday language. Large language models (LLMs) had been growing increasingly sophisticated, and when a user-friendly interfa...

In a minute, you’ll see some data on the retirement crisis, specific to Generation X. It’s pretty crazy. Here’s how I see the situation — Generation X expected to replicate their baby boomer (or older) parents’ success. However, this success happ...

Hinging on the limitless possibilities that web3 opens up for direct humanitarian impact, Umoja’s mission starts with evolving NFTs into social tokens for good. With immense appreciation for the years of groundwork that has laid the NFT ecosystem foundation, we think it&...

Although we’re living in an era in which many companies advocate for diversity and inclusion, I am often still the only female director in the room in the tech industry. Even more often, I find myself to be the only first-generation immigrant who learned English as a second language. This i...

We’ve always known that solving last-mile delivery through robotics would better everyday life for millions of people. Designing the right autonomous vehicle to do that — and taking a zero-occupant approach to that design — has been a monumental task involving years of work and ite...

It’s after middle school morning basketball practice. As the point guard for our middle school B team, I often found myself more as a spectator than a star player. Yet, my love for basketball ran deep. It wasn’t just about the game; it was about belonging. Excelling on the court wasn&rsq...

I inhabit a region that meets the same Atlantic Ocean that cradles the island of Barbados on its eastern shores. The 2,000-mile distance and change in geography turns the clear beaches and sunny skies to gritty waters and nor’easters. I’m on an eastern coast with land that goes on foreve...

While my generation and the ones coming up behind me are a lot more open and accepting of other humans than the generations before us — racism is not innate. It’s not something you’re born with. It’s something you’re taught. For every racist that has a child, ther...

It is a well known fact that immigrants trying to start over in a new country face many obstacles. However, the many challenges faced by children born to immigrant parents are rarely discussed in the public sphere or in academic circles. In particular, second-generation immigrants struggle with uniq...

Let’s start with Chicago, where I live: A few hundred young people spilled out into the streets of the city recently, during our first burst of warm spring weather. In the midst of the frenetic activity of the teens, there were injuries, including two people shot. If you did not know these wer...

Generative Adversarial Network (GANs) The idea of Generative Adversarial Network (GANs) is to make two Neural Networks compete with each other. One will generate images similar to the training data. The other will classify which is generated and training images. Hence, creating a rea...

During the early stages of infancy, our brains already learn to associate correlation with causation and try to find an explanation for everything happening around us. If a car behind us takes the same turns we do for a long time, we assume it's following us, which is a causal assumption. Howeve...

Millennials and members of Gen Z can often get a bad rap. If you’ve ever spent an hour on TikTok, it isn’t always difficult to see why. But we deserve our credit, too. It’s hard to deny that there’s something unique about the time period in which we’re living. Crumbl...

Today’s generation is all about socializing, rubbing elbows, and connecting, and drinking, smoking, or any sort of addiction is applauded in many zones. I haven’t touched alcohol or any such things to date. It’s not that I can’t, I just don’t want to. There are many ...

When I see a child running carefree over the beach in their swimsuit, completely unaware of their body except for how it propels them forward, I’m filled with such a sick jealousy. I don’t remember a time when I could run that carefree, not just because my knees are getting creakier b...
