In this article, you will learn how temperature and seed values influence failure modes in agentic loops, and how to tune them for greater resilience. Topics we will cover include: How low and high temperature settings can produce distinct failure patterns in agentic loops. Why fixed seed values can undermine robustness in production environments. How to use temperature and seed adjustments to build more resilient and cost-effective agent workflows. Let’s not waste any more time. Why Agents Fail: The Role of Seed Values and Temperature in Agentic LoopsImage by Editor Introduction In the modern AI landscape, an agent loop is…

In today’s IT environment, cloud data platforms are table stakes. What separates organizations that truly accelerate analytics and AI from those that struggle isn’t getting data to the cloud, it’s getting it ready once it’s there. That’s why I’m excited to introduce ETL powered by Matillion, now part of the Precisely Data Integrity Suite. Our partnership with Matillion brings cloud-native ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) and scalable data transformation directly into the Suite. For Precisely, this new offering doesn’t just extend ETL functionality – it completes it. We’re now able to bring robust transformation into the same architecture customers rely…

Part 2 in our series on workload security covers why knowing “who” and “what” behind every action in your environment is becoming the most urgent — and least solved — problem in enterprise security In Part 1 of this series, we reached three conclusions: The battlefield has shifted to cloud-native, container-aware, AI-accelerated offensive tools — VoidLink being the most advanced example — specifically engineered for the Kubernetes environments; most security organizations are functionally blind to this environment; and closing that gap requires runtime security at the kernel level. But we left one critical thread underdeveloped: identity. We called identity “the connective tissue” between runtime detection…

Image: Freepik Over the past decade, consumer attitudes in the botanical and cannabis space have gone through a radical shift. What used to be all about end-product potency and price point has started to take a back seat to more in-depth questions : where was this grown, what kind of soil was it grown in, was it even tested for any nasties? This growing demand for supply chain transparency actually has some real world implications – not just for your own health but for the planet too. This article breaks down the lowdown on clean cultivation, what the science is…

Large hyperscale data centre projects are very much subject to delays, thanks in part to their advanced construction methods which mean companies involved are having to learn new techniques and adhere to different, higher standards, on the fly. The shortage of skilled labour and materials, plus delayed access to local power and water add to the delays besetting the DC industry. The limits on available capacity and these supply chain constraints mean that new DCs dedicated to run AI workloads are taking much longer to come online than many would like. However, the edge sector has its own solutions to…

Silicon-carbon batteries have been leading phones to eyebrow-raising battery life, and the Realme P4 Power includes one of the biggest batteries we’ve seen in a phone. It’s setting an even higher benchmark with a 10,001mAh battery. By comparison, this is double the capacity we see in more mainstream phones like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which includes a 5,000mAh battery.The Realme phone surpasses what we’ve seen in other phones with this type of battery, including the OnePlus 15’s 7,300mAh battery and the RedMagic 11 Pro’s 7,500mAh battery. Phones with batteries of this scale provide up to two days of use…

Wheelchair users with severe disabilities can often navigate tight spaces better than most robotic systems can. A wave of new smart-wheelchair research, including findings presented in Anaheim, Calif., earlier this month, is now testing whether AI-powered systems can, or should, fully close this gap.Christian Mandel—senior researcher at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Bremen, Germany—co-led a research team together with his colleague Serge Autexier that developed prototype sensor-equipped electric wheelchairs designed to navigate a roomful of potential obstacles. The researchers also tested a new safety system that integrated sensor data from the wheelchair and from sensors in…

A silicon metasurface uses polarization of light as a key, allowing different encrypted holographic images to be recovered from the same structure under different illumination conditions. Study: Theoretical Study of Polarization Holographic Encryption via a Nano-Structural Metasurface. Image Credit: metamorworks/Shutterstock.com The study, published in Nanomaterials, describes a theoretical design for a dual-channel holographic encryption system built from silicon nanorods on a SiO2 substrate. Using an improved Gerchberg–Saxton (GS) algorithm and Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations, the team showed that two separate images could be encoded into a single metasurface and selectively reconstructed with left- or right-circularly polarized light. Saving this for…

Front-end development is shaped, much as it has been for years, by React’s continued dominance. For a long stretch, its chief rival, Angular, was borderline unusable for lean, fast-moving use cases. Yet perceptions are shifting. With the latest releases, Angular has resolved many of its historical weaknesses, and in many respects, the two frameworks now feel closer in capability than at any point in the last decade. Recent State of JavaScript surveys reflect these changing dynamics. React remains the most widely used option, but developer satisfaction has been steadily declining due to a trend often labeled as “React fatigue.” Angular,…

200 students from Secondary schools from across Ireland will come together on March 25th for the third annual ‘Ideas Made Real’ Transition Year final, a national STEM event that highlights the creativity, innovation and problem-solving skills of transition year students as they present projects developed over the course of the academic year. Taking place at the Explorium Science and Sport Centre in Dublin, the event marks the culmination of the Ideas Made Real programme, an initiative by Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) that introduces secondary school students to modern manufacturing, engineering and innovation. Launched in September 2023, the programme blends STEM…
