May be that’s not your case, but when I think about electric vehicle I think about cars. Yes, I saw (not in Italy) a few examples of electric motorbike but I looked at them mostly as a curiosity. Now, reading a MIT Technology Review article, I appreciate that is not …

Generative AI is rapidly integrating the capability to learn from interaction and the possibility to leverage a continuously updated LLM – Large Language Model. This is clearly a plus for its application in an enterprise/industrial context. The easiness of use and this additional capability (that will most likely characterize its …

If you have worked in a company you surely have experienced a significant number of repetitive tasks, and I am not talking about the work on an assembly line. This latter has been progressively automated and now most of repetitive tasks are taken care by robots. Not so for white …

3D printing has moved from the printing of small prototypes to industrial manufacturing (like printing the blades for airplanes turbine) and has expanded the possibility of materials that can be printed. Bio-printing is not new, researchers, and doctors, have been printing tissues using cells, starting from skin up to cartilage …

To get a feeling on how much progress has been made by LLM (Large Language Models) and the applications that are leveraging on them it may be useful to see how Generative AI would score in a university test and on professional tests. The graphic shows the results and it …

OpenAI has released a report on the accuracy of ChatGTP and how it has been improving through subsequent versions. The data presented are interesting and in a way impressive. In the first graphic we see the accuracy in different areas of application. Notice that the gauging is based on a …

“Rare” stands for scarce and indeed we feel a shortage of these 17 elements that have been called “rare earths”. We are feeling this shortage even more in these last decades as they have become more and more important in electronics, particularly so in radio communications and to speed up …

In the previous post I voiced my feeling that comparing the processing capability of a brain vs a computer or their storage capability is like comparing apples and oranges. You cannot compare the number of neurons/synapses of the brain to the number of bytes in a storage memory, nor the …
Read More »How much data … can be digested by our brain?
For at least 70 years scientists, researchers and lay people have been comparing the brain to the computer (actually, I remember that when I was young, taking the very first course on computers in high school, the computer was called “cervello elettronico”, Electronic Brain in Italian). The pursue of an …

I kept tracking the growth of Internet, of the Web, in terms of usage, and you can find a number of posts -basically once a year since 2003 when I started blogging- , so this is the one for this year. For a year after year look at Internet in …
