Rice gone wild: How humans have inadvertently selected for ‘weedy’ rice
University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers have discovered that the anatomical adaptation helping weedy rice varieties to proliferate is not, as previously believed, confined only to these pest varieties. The research, published recently in the Journal of Experimental Botany, shows that despite 10,000 years of human cultivation, a cell tissue that allows rice plants to easily drop their seeds remains a feature in nearly … ⌘ Read more

大模型的模型壓縮與有效推理綜述
1  介紹本文對大型語言模型的壓縮和效率推理進行了綜述。大型語言模型基於 Transformer 架構,具有強大的性能,但也帶來了巨大的內存和計算成本。本文從算法角度對大型語言模型的壓縮和效率推理方法進行了分類,包括量化、剪枝、知識蒸餾、緊湊架構設計和動態網絡。大型語言模型有兩個顯著特點:(1)大多數壓縮算法需要在壓縮後對模型進行微調和甚至重新訓練,而大型模型的微調和訓練成本非常高。因此,許多算法 ⌘ Read more

3-4K Stars!爲 RAG 而生的數據工程神器!OmniParse
大模型 RAG 的難題是什麼?  RAG 或者 Fine-tuning 微調作爲大模型的增強技術,最核心的技術在於如何把企業的私有數據清洗轉換成知識,企業中能夠第一時間拿到的私有數據,往往是異構的、數據質量參差不齊,通過數據工程把數據變成知識就不是一件很容易的事兒。OmniParse 正是爲此而生的利器!它將任何非結構化數據轉換爲結構化知識。Github 地址:https://github.comRead more

【SpringBoot】 如何做到無感刷新 token?
前言—–最近在搞一個鑑權認證服務器,其中有個問題就是 token 的無感刷新。Token 無感刷新是一種在用戶不感知的情況下自動更新訪問令牌(Token)的機制,以維持用戶的登錄狀態。一般是使用一個短期的 token 來做權限認證,而更長時間的refreshToken來做短 token 的刷新,而在實現的過程中就有各種問題出來比如:Q1: 是要在服務器端實現還是能在客戶端實現? Q2: ⌘ Read more

Auroras caused by head-on blows to Earth’s magnetic field could damage critical infrastructure, scientists say
Auroras have inspired myths and portents for millennia—but only now, with modern technology dependent on electricity, are we appreciating their true power. The same forces which cause auroras also cause currents that can damage infrastructure which conducts electricity, like pipelines. ⌘ Read more

Google extends Linux kernel support to keep Android devices secure for longer
Android, like many other operating systems, uses the open-source Linux kernel. There are several different types of Linux kernel releases, but the type that’s most important to Android is the long-term support (LTS) one, as they’re updated regularly with important bug fixes and security patches. Starting in 2017, the support lifetime of LTS releases of Linux was extended from t … ⌘ Read more

No more boot loader: lease use the kernel instead
Most people are familiar with GRUB, a powerful, flexible, fully-featured bootloader that is used on multiple architectures (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le OpenFirmware). Although GRUB is quite versatile and capable, its features create complexity that is difficult to maintain, and that both duplicate and lag behind the Linux kernel while also creating numerous security holes. On the other hand, the Linux kernel, which has a large develope … ⌘ Read more
