When it comes to AI, no executive is likely to give a free pass to experimentation without oversight. The reality for leaders is that AI efforts must be aligned with business goals, while carefully mitigating associated risks. Even the most cautious executives are hesitant to completely dismiss AI, knowing that failing to leverage AI-driven innovations could leave their businesses vulnerable to disruption and falling behind competitors. However, the balance between harnessing AI’s potential and managing its risks requires clear governance and accountability frameworks. AI governance encompasses the principles, practices, and regulations that guide organizations in utilizing AI effectively and responsibly.…

API development continues to experience tremendous growth year after year, and organizations are increasingly relying on APIs to connect services and facilitate data exchange. A report from 451 Research in 2022 found that the average organization is now managing over 15,500 APIs, with a staggering growth rate of 201% in just one year. Cloudflare’s data further highlights the prevalence of APIs, revealing that over half of the traffic it handles is API-based. However, as the number of APIs continues to rise, enterprises are facing significant challenges in managing and governing these various integration points, often leaving them fragmented and unregulated.…

We are still in the early stages of AI’s evolution, and one clear sign of this is how much work users still have to do to make AI tools function effectively. As Jono Bacon, founder of Community Leadership Core, points out, even something as simple as choosing the right large language model (LLM) to run a query can be confusing for most people. Once you’ve selected the model, there’s still plenty of work left to fine-tune the results, and consistency is far from guaranteed. Current AI models require a lot of manual intervention to ensure the output is relevant or…

A vector database may seem like just another type of database at first glance, but its functionality goes far beyond the traditional database model, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). While conventional databases are optimized for handling structured, transactional data with relational queries, vector databases are designed to manage unstructured data, catering to modern AI-driven workloads such as machine learning inference, natural language processing, and recommendation systems. The key difference lies in how data is represented and retrieved. Traditional databases are used to store data in tables with predefined schemas and structured queries, whereas vector databases are tailored…

On September 16, a powerful open letter from key figures in the JavaScript ecosystem called out Oracle for what they consider the abandonment of the JavaScript trademark. The signatories of the letter included Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.js and Deno, as well as Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript. Together, they are urging Oracle to release the JavaScript trademark into the public domain. By September 20, the petition had gathered more than 10,000 signatures, signaling strong support from the broader tech community for their cause. The letter, titled “Oracle, it’s time to free JavaScript,” argues that Oracle’s ownership of the…

Arm’s Latest Partnerships Drive AI Performance from Edge to Cloud Arm is making significant strides in bringing AI and machine learning workloads to Arm-based hardware by integrating its Arm Kleidi AI acceleration technology with PyTorch and ExecuTorch, an on-device inference runtime developed by PyTorch. This collaboration, announced on September 16, aims to extend AI performance improvements across both edge and cloud environments. By supporting PyTorch and ExecuTorch, the next generation of applications will be able to run large language models (LLMs) on Arm CPUs, unlocking new possibilities for AI-driven solutions. Arm’s partnerships with PyTorch and TensorFlow also ensure that Kleidi…

Advanced Exception Handling in Java: Features and Techniques Java provides a comprehensive set of tools for exception handling, enabling developers to gracefully handle unexpected situations that arise during program execution. While basic exception handling techniques were introduced earlier in the language, advanced features provide more control and flexibility when dealing with errors. In this article, we explore some of these advanced features, including stack traces, exception chaining, try-with-resources, multi-catch, final re-throw, and the StackWalking API, all of which contribute to more efficient and readable error management in Java applications. One of the most powerful tools in Java’s exception handling is…

Transitioning Universal Windows Platform (UWP) Apps to .NET 9 Microsoft’s evolution of Windows development frameworks has been a winding journey, culminating in today’s Windows App SDK and WinUI. While these modern tools offer improved capabilities for .NET desktop applications, updating older Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps remains a challenge. Originally built on the Windows 10-era UWP model, many applications face compatibility and modernization hurdles, especially as UWP was designed around Microsoft’s early vision of a unified, store-driven application ecosystem. The Universal Windows Platform emerged as an extension of the Windows Runtime (WinRT) model introduced with Windows 8. It provided developers…
