TORONTO — Oliver Sheldrick, clean economy program manager at Clean Energy Canada, made the following statement in response to Ontario’s announcement of three new battery storage projects under the Independent Electricity System Operator’s Long-Term Procurement (LT2) process: “Clean Energy Canada congratulates the three successful proponents in Ontario’s LT2 capacity procurement: battery energy storage system projects in Greater Napanee, Unincorporated Territory in the District of Kenora, and Norfolk County, each developed in equal partnership with First Nations. Together they exceed the province’s procurement target with 640 megawatts of new storage capacity.“The result speaks for itself. In an open, technology-agnostic competition, where batteries…

Bridging the digital skills gap in the age of AI In today’s rapidly evolving economic landscape, digital skills have become the primary driver for success across the United States and Canada. As industries undergo a profound transformation driven by the disruptive power of artificial intelligence, the demand for a workforce that is not only technically proficient but also adaptable has never been higher. AI is reshaping job roles at an unprecedented pace, creating a critical need for continuous learning and strategic upskilling. In this environment, Cisco Networking Academy stands as the definitive partner for organizations and individuals alike, providing the…

Google’s Pixel Watch has long been my favorite smartwatch design. It’s not only uniquely beautiful with the curved, circular glass that looks like a perfect watch design, but the curved back is by far the most comfortable design of any smartwatch I’ve ever worn. That watch will look just as good on your budget as on your wrist, too, thanks to this incredible Prime Day deal!Add the Pixel Watch 4 to your cart today and get an instant $60 off the 41mm version, or grab the larger display version with better battery life and get $80 off the 45mm version.For…

Hallucination is the wrong word for what I keep running into. It implies the model is confused or malfunctioning. The more accurate description is confident incorrectness: the model produces plausible-sounding output, in well-formed prose, citing nothing, with no hedging, and the claim is simply false. I have been building and operating an AI system that generates structured presentations from user-supplied text. That system runs roughly 1,000 inference calls per day across OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. Over time I have developed a working set of patterns for detecting, handling, and reducing confident incorrectness. This article documents what works in production and…

For decades, scientists recognized only two major types of magnets. One is the familiar ferromagnet, the kind found in refrigerator magnets and countless everyday devices. The other is the antiferromagnet, whose magnetic properties are hidden at the atomic level but have attracted growing interest because of their potential use in advanced technologies. More recently, researchers identified a third category known as altermagnets. First proposed within the last decade, these materials may combine some of the most useful characteristics of both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, potentially opening the door to faster, more energy-efficient electronics. Now, physicists at the University at Buffalo have…

A team of Irish founders has committed €8 million to Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, including the latest B300 chips, to launch TensorX, a sovereign AI inference platform designed for Europe’s AI builders, trusted by regulated industries and already generating revenue from paying customers. The company was founded by Shane Morton, is part of the NVIDIA Inception program and is partnering with Dell on sourcing GPU hardware. At a time when enterprises are racing to adopt artificial intelligence but most remain unwilling to let their data leave European jurisdiction, TensorX offers high-performance inference with zero data retention, running entirely on dedicated hardware…

Longevity’s next frontier: “reprogramming” your body Billions of dollars are flooding into efforts to reverse aging as scientists explore ways to return cells to a younger state. But how far off are these experimental treatments? Will they really work? At an upcoming virtual Roundtables event, MIT Technology Review will examine the science behind the hype. Science editor Mary Beth Griggs and senior biotechnology reporter Jessica Hamzelou will explore longevity’s latest frontier in…

Viewpoint, Comarch Communications The European telecommunications market is expected to grow slowly, at just 2% to 3% by 2029. Because of this slow growth and the challenges of a complex global economy, operators are rethinking how they work. The industry is now looking beyond traditional consumer cellular services, which are only growing at 3% to 4%, and is moving toward broader communication ecosystems, including mission-critical networks, satellite infrastructure, and massive IoT deployments. These challenges and emerging trends were extensively discussed at the recent Comarch User Group gathering, highlighting the critical paths operators must take to stay competitive. The event hosted…

In this article, you will learn how to build a text clustering pipeline by combining large language model embeddings with HDBSCAN, a density-based clustering algorithm, to automatically discover topics in unlabeled text data. Topics we will cover include: How to generate text embeddings for raw documents using a pre-trained sentence-transformers model. How to reduce the dimensionality of those embeddings with UMAP to prepare them for clustering. How to apply HDBSCAN to automatically discover topic clusters and visualize the results. Clustering Unstructured Text with LLM Embeddings and HDBSCAN Introduction The current era of Generative AI seems to primarily focus on chat…
