7/29/18 2:20 PM · 2 min read Turn an incompatible object into a target interface or class by using a real world example and the adapter design pattern in Swift. Fist of all let me emphasize that, this is the real world representation of what we’re going to build in this little Swift adapter pattern tutorial:Adapter is a structural design pattern that allows objects with incompatible interfaces to work together. In other words, it transforms the interface of an object to adapt it to a different object.So adapter can transform one thing into another, sometimes it’s called wrapper, because it wraps…

Modern manufacturers face an increasingly complex challenge: implementing intelligent decision-making systems that respond to real-time operational data while maintaining security and performance standards. The volume of sensor data and operational complexity demands AI-powered solutions that process information locally for immediate responses while leveraging cloud resources for complex tasks.The industry is at a critical juncture where edge computing and AI converge. Small Language Models (SLMs) are lightweight enough to run on constrained GPU hardware yet powerful enough to deliver context-aware insights. Unlike Large Language Models (LLMs), SLMs fit within the power and thermal limits of industrial PCs or gateways, making them…

Fancy an Apple-branded wearable AI pin? A new report suggests Apple is working on a compact AI-powered pin, roughly the size of an AirTag. If it makes it to market, the device would mark Apple’s first product built primarily around AI and could run the revamped Siri chatbot. According to a report from The Information, the wearable is still in development, though the project could face delays or even be shelved altogether. An AI-generated image of the rumored Apple AI pin. The AI pin is reportedly circular in shape, closely resembling the AirTag in both size and design, with an…

Since the rapid development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, nanomedicine, as an important branch of nanomaterial applications, has flourished in the past two decades. Nanomedicine has also evolved from the initial stage of liposome-encapsulated nanodrugs to develop advanced drug delivery systems designed as multifunctional therapy platforms targeting various diseases. Tracing the history of nanomedicine’s development, the development of inorganic nanomedicine has witnessed a transformative shift from initially focusing on biological medical imaging towards the design of targeted platforms for disease therapies, and eventually culminating in the establishment of an integrated system that combines the regulation of the immune microenvironment with targeted…

The iPhone Air 2 looks set to launch later this year – and I really wish it wasn’t. Now, don’t get me wrong, I can see the appeal of the iPhone Air. Essentially, you’re getting the familiar iPhone experience, including top-tier performance, within an incredibly thin and light chassis. But, having reviewed the original, it was obvious that the phone needed significant changes. The cameras are badly hamstrung, the speakers are terrible and charging is painfully slow. When you’re paying at least £999/$999, that’s simply not good enough. In theory, this wasn’t a major issue. The iPhone Air is widely…

Europe is experiencing a surge in capacity demand with a critical need to connect numerous data centers. Consequently, larger customers are shifting to higher capacity services, specifically 400 Gbps and dark fiber.

In this article, you will learn how to package a trained machine learning model behind a clean, well-validated HTTP API using FastAPI, from training to local testing and basic production hardening. Topics we will cover include: Training, saving, and loading a scikit-learn pipeline for inference Building a FastAPI app with strict input validation via Pydantic Exposing, testing, and hardening a prediction endpoint with health checks Let’s explore these techniques.  The Machine Learning Practitioner’s Guide to Model Deployment with FastAPIImage by Author   If you’ve trained a machine learning model, a common question comes up: “How do we actually use it?”…

For nearly six years, T1A has partnered with Databricks to end-to-end SAS-to-Databricks migration projects to help enterprises modernize their data platform. As a former SAS Platinum Partner, we possess a deep understanding of the platform’s strengths, quirks, and hidden issues that stem from the unique behavior of the SAS engine. Today, that legacy expertise is complemented by a team of Databricks Champions and a dedicated Data Engineering practice, giving us the rare ability to speak both “SAS” and “Spark” fluently.Early in our journey, we observed a recurring pattern: organisations wanted to move away from SAS for a variety of reasons,…

Microsoft today issued patches to plug at least 113 security holes in its various Windows operating systems and supported software. Eight of the vulnerabilities earned Microsoft’s most-dire “critical” rating, and the company warns that attackers are already exploiting one of the bugs fixed today. January’s Microsoft zero-day flaw — CVE-2026-20805 — is brought to us by a flaw in the Desktop Window Manager (DWM), a key component of Windows that organizes windows on a user’s screen. Kev Breen, senior director of cyber threat research at Immersive, said despite awarding CVE-2026-20805 a middling CVSS score of 5.5, Microsoft has confirmed its…
