Hey everyone, thanks aot for the feedback on my last post about the topology on my security camera model! I will keep working on the high poly version with these materials and then create a low poly version of it and bake all maps to it. Now I wanted some feedback on the materials I created for it. I like them but I feel like there's something missing to give it a more realistic look. Texturing was done in Blneder, but I'm considering starting using Substance Painter as it looks a lot more straight forwards for this kind of stuff, will maybe try that out and comparte the two? Also hope you don't mind the blue clay render, I thought it looked cool. Thanks! submitted by /u/BobsOwner [link] [comments]

RTKari LakeRight before the election, the last administration signed a 15-year lease on a fancy DC building for USAGM. The cost to American taxpayers? A quarter of a billion dollarsfor a building not even equipped to BROADCAST.I just canceled the leaseI also learned that this agency, whose purpose is to report the news, was outsourcing the responsibility to outlets like the AP, Reuters, and the French press. We canceled those contracts. That's another $53 million saved for the American taxpayer.Thank you to @POTUS for putting me in a position to make this possible.

Spotify introduced a suite of new ad solutions on Wednesday at its Spotify Advance event in New York. The biggest highlight is the upgrades to the programmatic advertising platform dubbed Spotify Ad Exchange (SAX), which will offer advertisers access to the music streaming platform's engaged and logged-in users.

Samsung could be working on a foldable phone equipped with four foldable panels, according to a patent application. The document reveals a design for a device with three hinges that connect four folding panels that extend to form a single, elongated display. When folded, the four panels form a considerably thick bar The South Korean technology conglomerate has yet to unveil a tri-fold smartphone to compete with the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design that was launched in select markets.Samsung Patent Application Shows Device Could Feature Three HingesA patent application on the WIPO website (via SamMobile) indicates that Samsung is working on a foldable device with four foldable panels. These components are shown to be connected via three hinges. When unfolded, the smartphone appears to form a much larger display. The second and third panel are joined by a more complex hinge that allows the furthermost panels to fold inward.Samsung's foldable phone seen in folded and unfolded configurations (Tap to expand)Photo Credit: WIPO/ SamsungThe document, which is titled 'Electronic device including bendable display', incudes drawings of the most advanced foldable design from Samsung we've seen so far. The company has shown off several prototypes of foldable phones with three folding panels, and even a "rollable" display, but the device described in this document could unfold to form a much larger panel, offering more screen real estate.While the two inner panels appear to fold toward together in Fig. 5b, the next drawing (Fig. 5c) shows the outermost panels fold on top of the inner ones using two hinges (535 and 515). Once the device is in this partially folded state, a user can fold it once again, along the middle hinge (525).As a result, we see a considerably thick but compact foldable phone in Fig 5d, which can be fully unfolded to form the handset seen in Fig 5a. We can also see another view of the device when it is fully folded in Fig 5e.More drawings of the foldable seen in the patent document (tap to expand)Photo Credit: WIPO/ SamsungEarlier this week, another Samsung patent application revealed the company could be working on a foldable device that can be folded both inwards and outwards the company previously showed off a prototype of the handset in 2023. The company has also been spotted working on a tri-fold phone with two hinges and S Pen support.It is unclear whether Samsung plans to turn the foldable device with four panels described in the patent application into a commercial device. The company typically showcases some of its latest display prototypes that aren't ready to be launched as consumer devices, and we might see a preview of the purported foldable device in the future.

Building a Customer Service RAG AI Agent with LangFlow3 min readJust now--The title itself conveys the essence of the topic. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances the output of Large Language Models (LLMs) by incorporating external knowledge retrieval. The data used for training can be either structured or unstructured. Essentially, LLMs are a class of neural network-based models trained on vast amounts of data with billions of parameters. Before diving into the implementation, its essential to familiarize ourselves with key technologies such as LangChain, LangFlow, LangFlow commands, ChromaDB, LLAMA, Ollama (including large language models and embedding models), and AWS.AI agent where it extracts the required information from the documents and responds to the user query.LangFlowLangFlow is an open-source, UI-based tool designed for building and experimenting with LangChain applications. LangChain, on the other hand, is an open-source framework in Python that enables the development of various applications using Large Language Models (LLMs). To install LangFlow, you need Python version 3.8 or higher, as the library relies on LangChain and FastAPI. Currently, I am using version 1.1.4.Ollamaollama is a CLI tool to access and download the models locally. There are different types of models with different applications. Like Tool-Supporting, Instruct, Text, Code, Embedding models.Instruct Models - Designed for chat interfaces, these models are trained to respond to user queries in a conversational manner.Embedding Models - These models generate vector embeddings for text, facilitating tasks like search and retrieval augmented generation (RAG).Devloping AI agentFirst, we begin with data collection, cleaning, and alignment. This process can be done manually or with powerful libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and web scraping tools like BeautifulSoup. Once the data is cleaned, it should be structured in formats such as .pdf, .csv, .txt, or .json.The next essential step is familiarizing yourself with the Python programming language. Once comfortable with Python, you can build a workflow in LangFlow as outlined below:LangFlowInstead of using the LLAMA model from AWS Bedrock, you can utilize the Ollama LLAMA model, which runs locally on your machine. I recommend ensuring that your system has suitable resources to support the application efficiently.Steps to Build a Customer Support Agent:Install all required LangFlow dependencies:pip (version 24.0)langflow (version 1.1.4)Ollama (latest version)Python (version 3.8+)3. Follow the LangFlow workflow diagram to structure the application process.4. Set up and execute the necessary workflows to vectorize the input training data.5. Instead of using the AWS Bedrock API, configure Ollamas local host URL for both embedding and instruction models.6. Retrieve the Python API from LangFlow and integrate it according to your applications requirements.Note: This article focuses on using LangFlow to build a RAG-based agent. However, for a fully functional system, youll need to integrate the API with a database, fine-tune the model (optional), set up a web interface, handle networking, and implement data storage, among other considerations.ConclusionThis is Part 1 of the series, focusing on understanding the background and how the workflow operates. In the next article, I will cover deploying the RAG agent, including training and fine-tuning the model using open-source application data from data collection to AWS services. Stay tuned for a deep dive into the deployment process!

7 Mind-Blowing Use Cases of AI in Healthcare5 min readJust now--Currently, AI is transforming major industries worldwide. In particular, the disruption to the healthcare industry seems to be most pronounced. By incorporating advanced algorithms, machine learning, and data and analytics, AI is creating substantial changes in the healthcare industry in a way that is more efficient, accurate, and accessible.From diagnosis to personalized treatment, AI is beginning to create a world where medical diagnosis is proactive, exact, and patient-centered.In this article, let us take a brief look at seven recent use cases of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare.Role of AI in Healthcare Industry: Transforming the Future of Medicine1. Medical Imaging and DiagnosticsAI is among the most sophisticated applications in the health care industry when it comes to the use of medical imaging. AI models, including deep learning models, are trained and developed to analyze medical images (X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc.) for the purposes of identifying patterns and beauty for anomalies.Applications of AI can scan and identify abnormal conditions such as lung cancer, brain injury, fractures, and heart disease with precision and increase in accuracy level (most oftentimes absent human physicians).For example, AI can scan and review X-ray images and identify early-stage lung cancer, or detect subtle signs of breast cancer that a human radiologist may detect. Therefore, AI provides earlier diagnosis and treatment options.Do You Know?A study showed that AI can achieve top-one diagnostic accuracy of 81.8% and top-two accuracy of 85% by outperforming traditional detecting methods.Source: ArXiv2. Predictive Analytics for Patient OutcomesAIs capacity to navigate massive volumes of data is making predictive analytic capabilities a powerful resource in health care. Through historical patient data analysis, AI can inform the probability of a patient developing certain diseases or issues, illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, or even the chance of readmission after surgery. As an example, AI exploits a patients medical records, either their lifestyle components or genetic underpinnings, to suggest a chronic disease risk. Armed with this knowledge, a medical professional can intervene earlier or personalize a patients care plan to minimize the likelihood of further complications, such as comorbidities, and improve health outcomes, overall, in the long run.Do You Know?Cera Cares AI system predicts over 80% of health risks in prior, reducing hospitalizations by up to 70% and falls by 20%.Source: Wikipedia3. Customized Treatment ProgramsIn the era of precision medicine, AI is central to creating personalized treatment programs for patients. AI can evaluate and review the genetic history, medical paperwork, and environmental history of each patient and suggest the most efficient treatment option for that specific individual. This trend is especially impactful in the field of oncology.In the treatment of cancer, AI can analyze a patients genetic histories and their individual tumor characteristics, and suggest a treatment plan that would be the best option, in terms of efficacy, for the patient. By customizing a treatment plan utilizing therapies, AI hopes to increase the responsible likelihood of treatment response, while reducing the side effect profile for patients.Do You Know?A study from Sword Healths digital therapy program says engagement rates were more than double those of traditional therapy, highlighting AIs role in improving patient participation.Source: Wikipedia4. Virtual Health AssistantsAI-based virtual health assistants (chatbots, voice assistants, etc.) are shifting the way that patients engage with health services. Patients can have access to these health assistants 24 hours a day, seven days a week to obtain answers to questions, receive advice, or be reminded to take their medication or attend an appointment.These assistants can also instruct patients to self-monitor chronic illnesses using various modes of symptom tracking, remind them to take their medications, or even support their mental health conditions by guiding meditation exercises or cognitive behavioral therapy.The result is improved engagement from patients but also reducing the burden on the healthcare professional to address more pressing items.Do You Know:A study explored that AI-driven health assistants achieved a diagnostic accuracy rate of 90% when compared to general physicians who scored 74% without AI assistance.Source: ArXiv5. Drug Discovery and DevelopmentAI speeds up the traditionally lengthy and expensive process of discovering and developing drug therapies by processing large datasets of biological and chemical information to predict which compounds are likely, successful treatments for diseases. Moreover, it may even identify novel drug candidates for diseases that do not currently have effective treatments like rare cancers or neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers.AI can reduce the trial and error process and decrease research timelines truly having the potential to revolutionize pharmaceutical companies and expedite the development of life-saving medications.6. Remote Monitoring and WearablesWearables like fitness trackers and smartwatches have made health tracking easy for people. AI then continues to collect data about health measures such as heart rate, blood oxygen measurements, blood glucose measures, and sleeping patterns. AI can then send continuous feedback in real-time. Furthermore, AI can send notifications to health providers if there is a detection of abnormal vital signs.For example, AI can assist with chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease or diabetes by appropriately monitoring the health of the patient and sending alert notifications to healthcare providers to signal if the patient is at risk of an emergency to enable timely intervention.This package of remote monitoring, which can be structured, can enable timely intervention for patients without needing them to make frequent visits.7. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS)AI-based Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) provide health professionals with decision support based on the best available evidence using an analytic method. Therefore, CDSS examines patient data, and pertinent literature based on the relevant medical guidelines to recommend the most likely diagnoses, possible therapies, and instructions for aftercare.For example, if a doctor is unsure of a diagnosis or treatment plan, the AI CDSS can consider the patients symptoms, his medical history, and the evidence currently available to suggest a worthwhile option.This practice lowers the probability of human errors and equips the providers with fresh evidence to facilitate decision-making, and, in the end, improves patient outcomes.The Future of AI in Health CareGiven that AI technology is evolving all of the time, it will have an ongoing role in healthcare that will expand exponentially. The potential advantages of AI to the healthcare industry are limitless: Enhance patient care, enhance workflows, reduce costs and allow for increasingly personalized care.While AI will never replace healthcare professionals, it will enhance workflows, drive more accurate decision-making about diagnoses, devise customized treatments, and improve patient outcomes.For healthcare professionals and health systems utilizing AI technology will be a necessity for staying competitive and to meet the demands of a continually changing healthcare landscape. As treatment improves and becomes a more affordable option for patients, the future of healthcare is looking increasingly promising.Final ThoughtsArtificial intelligence is not just a future concept, but rather it is here, and is already changing the way we do healthcare. Whether its being used in diagnostics and drug discovery, improving patient care, or personalizing treatment, AI is leading us into a healthier future.The sooner healthcare systems embrace the reality of AI, the sooner patients will have access to smarter, faster, and more efficient care. Are you ready to embrace AI in your healthcare practice or organization? The future is now and its time to act!

A new study from the AI Disclosures Project has raised questions about the data OpenAI uses to train its large language models (LLMs). The research indicates the GPT-4o model from OpenAI demonstrates a strong recognition of paywalled and copyrighted data from OReilly Media books.The AI Disclosures Project, led by technologist Tim OReilly and economist Ilan Strauss, aims to address the potentially harmful societal impacts of AIs commercialisation by advocating for improved corporate and technological transparency. The projects working paper highlights the lack of disclosure in AI, drawing parallels with financial disclosure standards and their role in fostering robust securities markets.The study used a legally-obtained dataset of 34 copyrighted OReilly Media books to investigate whether LLMs from OpenAI were trained on copyrighted data without consent. The researchers applied the DE-COP membership inference attack method to determine if the models could differentiate between human-authored OReilly texts and paraphrased LLM versions.Key findings from the report include:GPT-4o shows strong recognition of paywalled OReilly book content, with an AUROC score of 82%. In contrast, OpenAIs earlier model, GPT-3.5 Turbo, does not show the same level of recognition (AUROC score just above 50%)GPT-4o exhibits stronger recognition of non-public OReilly book content compared to publicly accessible samples (82% vs 64% AUROC scores respectively)GPT-3.5 Turbo shows greater relative recognition of publicly accessible OReilly book samples than non-public ones (64% vs 54% AUROC scores)GPT-4o Mini, a smaller model, showed no knowledge of public or non-public OReilly Media content when tested (AUROC approximately 50%)The researchers suggest that access violations may have occurred via the LibGen database, as all of the OReilly books tested were found there. They also acknowledge that newer LLMs have an improved ability to distinguish between human-authored and machine-generated language, which does not reduce the methods ability to classify data.The study highlights the potential for temporal bias in the results, due to language changes over time. To account for this, the researchers tested two models (GPT-4o and GPT-4o Mini) trained on data from the same period.The report notes that while the evidence is specific to OpenAI and OReilly Media books, it likely reflects a systemic issue around the use of copyrighted data. It argues that uncompensated training data usage could lead to a decline in the internets content quality and diversity, as revenue streams for professional content creation diminish.The AI Disclosures Project emphasises the need for stronger accountability in AI companies model pre-training processes. They suggest that liability provisions that incentivise improved corporate transparency in disclosing data provenance may be an important step towards facilitating commercial markets for training data licensing and remuneration.The EU AI Acts disclosure requirements could help trigger a positive disclosure-standards cycle if properly specified and enforced. Ensuring that IP holders know when their work has been used in model training is seen as a crucial step towards establishing AI markets for content creator data.Despite evidence that AI companies may be obtaining data illegally for model training, a market is emerging in which AI model developers pay for content through licensing deals. Companies like Defined.ai facilitate the purchasing of training data, obtaining consent from data providers and stripping out personally identifiable information.The report concludes by stating that using 34 proprietary OReilly Media books, the study provides empirical evidence that OpenAI likely trained GPT-4o on non-public, copyrighted data.(Image by Sergei Tokmakov)Want to learn more about AI and big data from industry leaders?

Nintendo is switching a few things up with its new console as it enters the next generation of gaming.The Switch 2 was unveiled Wednesday morning during a Nintendo Direct press conference, and Variety got a hands-on demo with the hardware and games launching on June 5. In addition to being bigger and more powerful, the Switch 2 now includes a built-in microphone to talk with friends online and a new way to use a Joy-Con controller like a wireless mouse. While its not as groundbreaking of a technological jump as the GameCube to Wii or the Wii U to Switch, the Switch 2 improves upon the originals design and injects fun, upgraded gameplay into beloved franchises like Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and more.Related StoriesMario Kart World was the first game revealed during the Nintendo Direct, and the biggest change from previous entries is that now 24 players will compete against each other to see who can zoom through open-world racetracks the fastest. One giant map replaces the four individual tracks from past games, and racers will be much more immersed as the game seamlessly transitions through various regions like sandy deserts, snowy tundras, sprawling cities, rainy villages and much more. There are 30 playable characters, with plenty of new and familiar faces. Just about everyone from the world of Mario is here. New racers include Paulina, Cowboy Mario, Goomba, Wiggler, Hammer Bro, Biker Bowser, Mariachi Waluigi, a viral Moo Moo cow and more costumed versions of classic characters. Players can use new items, like an ice flower to freeze enemies and a mega mushroom to grow and squish them, grind on rails, defy gravity by wall-jumping and turn their karts into boats or airplanes.Popular on VarietyThe game introduces Knockout Mode, which places the 24 players in a series of six races that eliminates the slowest drivers until theres one winner remaining. For example, one race stretched from icy glaciers to overflowing rivers to a bustling town as racers frantically hit the gas, grabbed items and duked it out to the end. A free roam mode ditches the races and lets players drive through the massive world and discover new paths with friends. There will also be weather and a daytime/nighttime cycle that affect how each course looks.Marios foe-turned-friend Donkey Kong joined in on the fun with his own game, Donkey Kong Bananza. Its a 3D-platforming, action-adventure game that seems inspired by the open-world levels of Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Set in a cavernous, underground mine, Donkey Kong can smash through just about every rocky surface whether its a wall, floor or ceiling and monkey-climb his way to high peaks. In addition to his super-powerful fists, he can pick up boulders to throw at enemies, smash his way through obstacles and even ride them like craggy surfboards. The level of destruction and detail in Donkey Kongs demolition is impressive and no doubt wouldnt be possible on the current Switch.The technical upgrades come at a price, though. Donkey Kong Bananza costs $70, while Mario Kart World has a heftier price tag of $80. The Switch 2 itself costs $450, and if you want Mario Kart World along with it, you can buy it bundled with the console for $500. Current Switch titles cost $60, and when the console launched back in 2017 it was just $300. The Nintendo Direct announced the Switch 2 release date but sidestepped discussing its price, leaving fans riled up online. The Switch 2 is still cheaper than the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One X launch prices, but gamers are worried that this could signal a permanent price increase for the industry.Current Switch owners will be able to upgrade existing titles like Super Mario Party Jamboree, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom with Switch 2 features. Super Mario Party Jamboree showed off six new minigames that used the Joy-Cons mouse mode in inventive ways. There was a Tetris-esque block stacking challenge, air hockey with Koopa shells and a tracing game where players dragged a dangling Toad through an electric maze onscreen. The high-sensitivity controller put your hand-eye coordination to the test in the games, and a future Mario Party could bring even more creative minigames.Finally announced last week, the long-delayed Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is now coming to the Switch and Switch 2. In the demo, space bounty hunter Samus Aran had to shoot her way through hordes of space pirates and a gigantic alien boss. Nintendos first-person shooter controls get a major lift as players can now use the mouse mode for more precise target practice. For non-PC gamers, it can take some getting used to as decades-old Nintendo controls are getting a modern facelift with the mouse, but Samus lasers soon hit their marks after some trial and error.The Metroid and Mario Party demos had smooth desks to test the mouse controls on, but how will that translate to playing at home? Most people dont have perfectly sized desks to sit at when reclining on their sofas and playing games on the TV. The new sports game Drag x Drive, which pits teams of players against each other in high-tech, wheelchair-basketball games, relies on the mouse controls, but seemed nearly impossible to learn without a desk to sit at. Nintendo has said that gamers can use their laps as makeshift trackpads for the mouse controls, but trying that out yielded some moderate, but awkward, success. Depending on the game or high-intensity boss fight, it may not be enough to simply slide your Joy-Con controller around your thigh to win a Metroid space shootout or claim victory in a Mario Party showdown.As a new console generation approaches, Nintendo is relying on Mario Kart World, the sequel to the Switchs best-selling game ever, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, to push units. A wide range of third-party titles, like Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Hogwarts Legacy, Borderlands 4 and more, will bolster the Switch 2 library. There are also upgraded Switch titles, like Breath of the Wild and the upcoming Pokmon Legends: Z-A, which will revitalize those hours of entertainment, and a retro GameCube catalog that gives nostalgic gamers the ability to revisit their pasts. The Switch 2 may not have a new Mario or Legend of Zelda launch title or a revolutionary feature, like the Wiis motion-control, but its a modern, powerful console that can stand alongside PlayStation and Xbox instead of lagging behind. The family-friendly party games and also more challenging adult titles should give gamers of all ages a reason to join Nintendos next generation if only Mario would spare a few gold coins to bring the price down.

We saw FFVII and SW Outlaws. None of them would look anything close on SW1. They would just not run at all probably. Give it some time. Dev kits have not been handed out for that long (I guess) and maybe the DLSS hooks were not in yet (isn't it usually one of the later steps for games?) - it wouldn't make any sense if Nintendo went with a modern, custom Nvidia chip but left out DLSS capabilities. Stranger things have happened but I'm feeling good about what I've seen. Compare that to a Steam Deck for example - a lot of games look super washed out because of FSR2/3 and 800p max - this doesn't seem comparable.bushmonkeyMemberOct 29, 20176,005Nintendo aren't the kind of company to mention something like DLSS that most of their audience wouldn't understand or care about. We'll see what Digital Foundry has to say when they get their hands on it :)Bony ManifestoMemberOct 27, 20174,264They surely wouldn't have gone with a 1080p screen if there wasn't some form of high quality upscaling.

(The newest DLSS 4.0, the transformer mode, even more expensive.) But they found a paper from either NVIDIA or Nintendo about an extra lightweight DLSS technique that would be fast enough on the Switch 2. So Nintendo can't just toggle on DLSS like a PC GPU, they need their custom version to be ready, and maybe it's not there yet.King_MocMemberOct 25, 20174,640Mr.Deadshot said:Cyberpunk and Outlaws will be very interesting because they run and look not especially GREAT on a base PS5 in some places.

I would assume these games would be ported first to run naively and only after the fact try to apply DLSS and compare the results, deciding if it makes sense performance/quality wise.At the end of the day its still a console launch, so a lot of software is gonna come in hot in terms of optimization just to hit the release date. And yes i would expect a lot of titles to have essential Day 1 patches as well.OP OPmavericktopgunMemberOct 27, 20175,067Aleh said:"No game in the Direct looked MUCH better than a Switch 1 game.

I would say most of the games showed the power of Switch 2. You're doing the mistake of thinking that Nintendo consoles push raw power, which they don't. The hardware is old even before it's launched, and you're comparing with PS5 visuals? Check your expectations.EphonkAvengerOct 25, 20172,375BelgiumThis is certainly a take:mavericktopgun said:No game in the Direct looked MUCH better than a Switch 1 game.

That's not even mentioning the games that weren't possible on switch like Elden Ring, CP77 and Star Wars Outlaws.

NVN2, the API Switch 2 uses, already supported DLSS in 2022.It is an option. Wait for final builds and launch to see games using it as long as devs want to.Star Wars seemed to use it by the little artifacting on the hair (that actually looks less fuzzy than the other versions).gabdegMemberOct 26, 20177,275Wouldn't Nintendo have to develop their own upscaler? I never really believed in them just using actual DLSS. More assumed the hardware is capable of that style of upscaling and that it would have to be developed first. Could be that Nintendo just didn't get there yet.Mr_F_SnowmanMemberOct 27, 20174,511mavericktopgun said:I'm not a trollClick to expand...Click to shrink...And yet you said "No game in the Direct looked MUCH better than a Switch 1 game" which is indeed very trollish.

Maybe people have been playing their ps5s too much and are mentally comparing those two more than the handheld it's actually replacing:
