More and more products and services are taking advantage of the modeling and prediction capabilities of AI. This article presents the nvidia-docker tool for integrating AI (Artificial Intelligence) software bricks into a microservice architecture. The main advantage explored here is the use of the host system’s GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) resources to accelerate multiple containerized AI applications. To understand the usefulness of nvidia-docker, we will start by describing what kind of AI can benefit from GPU acceleration. Secondly we will present how to implement the nvidia-docker tool. Finally, we will describe what tools are available to use GPU acceleration in…

This post was originally published by me at the Fortscale blog.Fortscale’s product helps organizations eliminate insider threats by detecting anomalous user behavior. Detecting anomalous user behavior is hard. Really hard. Here at Fortscale we show that with the right tools, it’s doable. Our data science team has developed a set of self tuning machine learning based algorithms that aim at doing exactly that. Although the algorithms may be complicated to comprehend, their basic mechanism is easy to understand. The fortscale product contains many models, each capturing a different user behavioral aspect such as typical working hours, machines a user usually…

Google isn’t particularly happy about the deal Microsoft has with OpenAI to host its technology on Microsoft servers, so it has now asked the FTC to step in and force Microsoft to end its deal with the ChatGPT maker. Google’s request stems from the fact that Microsoft has an exclusivity deal to hops OpenAI technology on Microsoft’s cloud servers, which the company says has the potential to harm customers. According to The Information (via Reuters), Google was asked about Microsoft’s business practices as part of a larger investigation. In that investigation, which the FTC opened on November 28, the US…

The Nix packages collection is large with over 60 000 packages. However, chances are that sometimes the package you need is not available. You must integrate it yourself. I needed for some fonts which were not already present inside nixpkgs. In Nix, a font is distributed as a package like any other software. One of the fonts to install is Dancing Script. At the time of this writing, searching in nixpkgs doesn’t reveal any relevant match: nix search nixpkgs dancing Whether your system is running NixOS or just using the Nix package manager, as I do with macOS, creating a…

This post was originally published by me at the Fortscale blog.Fortscale’s product helps organizations eliminate insider threats by detecting anomalous user behavior. In the previous post of this series I described how we at Fortscale use a personalized adaptive threshold for triggering alerts. Each user’s activity is assigned a risk score (known as the SMART value) that triggers a SMART Alert when crosses the user’s threshold. We explained how the more anomalous activities a user performs through time, the higher his threshold gets. This creates the desired effect that the analyst will be notified of a user only when that…

Jimmy Westenberg / Android AuthorityTL;DR Android’s Privacy Dashboard has historically offered a 24-hour log of how apps use permissions. With Android 16 DP1, it looked like Google would be extending this log to 7 days. Thanks to Android 15 QPR1 and the November 2024 Play system update, you can now access the 7-day log early. Google understands how important privacy is to smartphone users, and that’s exactly why Android has the robust system of permissions that it does, making sure that apps are only getting the level of access they actually need. But more than just creating that system, Google…

The value of CI/CD lies in the ability to control and coordinate changes and feature addition in multiple, iterative releases while simultaneously having multiple services being actively developed in parallel. In the previous article of this series, we showed how to implement continuous integration using Travis CI. In this article, we illustrate how to achieve the same result using another continuous integration solution, GitHub Actions. This article is part of a series relative to JS monorepos best practices: Create your first CI workflow with GitHub and GitHub Actions GitHub Actions allows you to automate, customize, and execute your software development…

This post was originally published by me at the Fortscale blog.Fortscale’s product helps organizations eliminate insider threats by detecting anomalous user behavior. In the first post of this series I described how we at Fortscale use a personalized adaptive threshold for triggering alerts. Each user’s activity is assigned a risk score (known as the SMART value) that triggers a SMART alert when crosses the user’s threshold. We explained how the more anomalous activities a user performs through time, the higher his threshold gets. In the second post I dived into technical details, explaining how we use the Bayesian inference framework…

Startup Embodied is closing down, and its product, an $800 robot for kids ages 5 to 10, will soon be bricked. Embodied blamed its closure on a failed “critical funding round.” On its website, it explained: We had secured a lead investor who was prepared to close the round. However, at the last minute, they withdrew, leaving us with no viable options to continue operations. Despite our best efforts to secure alternative funding, we were unable to find a replacement in time to sustain operations. The company didn’t provide further details about the pulled funding. Embodied’s previous backers have included…

A lot of people own cryptocurrencies today. But holding some tokens on an exchange does not mean interacting with the blockchain. The assets you trade are only numbers stored inside the exchange’s database. It’s because trading assets on-chain at high speed would be slow and super expensive. To bring your cryptocurrencies to the blockchain and interact with decentralized applications (DApps), you have to create a blockchain account controlled by a private key and send your crypto assets. This article will introduce you to the concept of tokens, accounts, wallets, and DApps (decentralized applications). It is the second of a series…
