Trying to bully my brother out of using AI for math homework when there's at least, like, perfectly good online calculators that he could use instead if he wanted a cheap but reliable way out, but then I remembered he went to a career fair last year where he got told by A Person With A Job In The Industry that he should be using ChatGPT to write more code, so like. I think I might not be able to convince him on this one, and also might just stop trusting any technology designed since 2023 to do anything correctly or safely ever

New engineering approach could lead to widespread adoption of photonic chips in consumer electronics

Researchers from TMOS, the ARC Center of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, have developed a new engineering approach to on-chip light sources that could lead to widespread adoption of photonic chips in consumer electronics. In research published today (Sept. 4) in Light: Science & Applications, the team from Australian National University and their collaborators at Northwestern Polytechnical University outline a method for growing high quality multi-quantum well nanowires made from semi-conductor materials indium gallium arsenide and indium phosphide. Optical transmission of information outperforms electrical transmission in terms of speed and efficiency, which is why the photonic chip industry has boomed in the past decade. These chips, also known as photonics integrated circuits, can now be found in telecommunication devices, autonomous vehicles, biosensors, and consumer devices such as mobile phones.

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

Climate promises are hard to keep. Scotland is the latest, perhaps most surprising example.

Scotland, an early industrial power and coal-burning behemoth, was also an early adopter of an ambitious and legally binding government target to slow down climate change. It had promised to pare back its emissions of planet-heating greenhouse gases by 75 percent by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.

This week, its Net Zero minister, Màiri McAllan, said that goal was now “out of reach.” She said Scotland, which operates semi-autonomously from Britain, would scrap its annual targets for cutting emissions and instead review targets every five years.

That is a sharp contrast to the bullishness of the Scottish government in 2021, when diplomats from around the world gathered in Glasgow for international United Nations climate talks. At that time, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called Scotland’s climate targets “not just amongst the most ambitious anywhere in the world — they are also amongst the toughest.”

The reversal shows how difficult it can be for governments to follow through on ambitious promises to slash emissions, despite the growing urgency to act as climate change rapidly warms the world and fuels extreme weather.

Emissions have already sharply fallen in Scotland. In 2021 they were 49 percent lower than they were in 1990. The problem is, that’s not fast enough to be on track with the government’s targets.

Bubblegum Black: For A World Without Gold - Chapter 1 is now live! (& Author's Commentary

It's the first of its kind: A BGC x Black Lagoon crossover, a new paradigm in cyber-powered hyperviolence and waifus swearing like drunken sailors! A new kind of war - A new kind of Crisis!

...Oh, right, I said I'd put in some metacommentary here, in the author's notes, right? Yeah. Time to do that. In essence, I'm going to run through every bit of technobabble or characterization piece that readers might be confused by, and just address them. I am, however, assuming some elementary knowledge of BGC and Lagoon (I will not abbreviate it to BL I simply refuse to fall into the path of degeneracy it will not happen). If there's an element from that you don't know about, uh... read the wiki? Or watch either show, they're both great.

Koh Kood Island: There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of Roanapur's actual location in Thailand. It's near the Cambodian border, it's on the water, it’s got a bridge running to it - it’s Koh Chang Island, it has to be. Sure, the real island is steep and forested, sure it’s a mile away from the mainland (one helluva bridge!) but the island is just big enough to house a medium-sized city like Roanapur if you level it out a bit via the powers of Dramatic License. Koh Kood is an island adjacent to it, closer to the Cambodian border. So the scene of the action is close to Roanapur, still in Thai waters, but not that close.

Stemjack and the Cybersuite: Lingo for the usual cyberpunk plug n' play neural interface port. Cyberpunk 2077 may have them in the wrists, but in this particular cyberpunk-y universe they're a much less well-realized piece of technology. That's because most people, as their default information-interface replacing the smartphone, use the 'Cybersuite', an amalgam of several technologies: soft augmented-reality lenses grafted onto the corneas ('corneals' to actualize a 'holofeed' in the 'holocloud', a kind of augmented-reality internet), jawbone-induction microphones and speakers ('mastimikes'), and finger-and-palm haptic sensors to make AR objects interactable by touch ('phantomics'). All this is as cheap and ubiquitous as, well, a smartphone, and in that case who needs a neural interface for anything besides synchronizing with heavy machinery, which requires neural rewiring and training if said machinery isn't humanoid? Absent downloading-information-directly-into-the-brain technology, which isn't quite realized here, there just isn't a huge need outside of military applications or more exotic cybernetics, I think.

Strikesuit Tech: Shape memory polymer artificial muscles are a thing already, albeit unrealized in industrial applications, as is foamed-alloy armor. The Strikesuit is slightly on the heavy side for what it is, especially compared to a Knight Saber hardsuit. It's a relic from before Boomers became common in American-aligned militaries across the world, one of those things that of course Eda would sell for the price of a small car.

NBC Sealing: Short for Nuclear, Biological, Chemical sealing, usually used to refer to armored vehicles.

Kerenzikov: A leftover reflex booster from the Cyberpunk franchise, less cool in all ways compared to the Sandevistan that plays such a big part in Edgerunners. Say that the Kerenzikov is still a reflex booster, but one that's a little less severe in how much it boosts the body and the brain into overdrive.

SSW40’s: Rheinmetall, the gentlemen who make the Abrams’ main cannon, have decided to diversify, apparently, and aside from semi-autonomous 50mm guns for lighter armored vehicles, they’re also working on magazine-fed 40mm grenade launchers. That means more ammo capacity than the current standard M32 / Milkor MGL, and a higher-velocity round because it isn’t a revolver-action, and better reloading ergonomics because, again, not a revolver. That’s the SSW40. Ancient by the time of this fic, but if it saw use in World War 3 it’ll probably see action in Roanapur again, just like Revy’s strikesuit, give or take an update for airburst programming. Also, it felt like a cool update to her old M79.

Saber 5: Read my previous completed fic, Anatomy of A Lovedoll, to know who that fifth Saber is. Or just wait till Chapter 2 comes out. Either way you’ll find out soon enough.

Absolu: A very clear knockoff of France’s largest company, petrochemical giant Total. I do think humanity will get off of petrochemical reliance for the most part save in places where it’s irrationally culturally engrained by midcentury, but it’ll probably be too late to stop the really bad effects of climate change from kicking in (fuck, most of Canada’s forests are burning down as I write this, West and East now). Companies whose bread and butter is commodity extraction will still find ways to poison local environments with stuff like rare-earth mining, if I had to take a wild guess, but hey at least they won’t be shitting x number of gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere annually! Baby steps.

Necessary Evil: Another bit I borrowed from Anatomy. Saber White has never said this in the actual series, but the way I’m writing her, this is something she would say and has said. Which runs contra to how she’s characterized in the OG series’ OVA 8, according to some people, but dammit this is my fic I’ll misinterpret things as I please.

Manhattan: Has anyone here ever read the cyberpunk-ish novel Blackfish City? Anyone know what happens to NYC in that book? Well, I decided to rip that off. Fuck it, here’s the lowdown: Sea levels rose, NYC had a seawall, and then the usual gaggle of postfascist Christian extremists blew up the seawall to flood ‘Liberal Sodom’, and the government did very, very little to help as the city died in bits and pieces, probably because said government was also run by postfascist wackos who saw NYC as the enemy. That time, and that place, are where Revy grew up. Even more unpleasant than her old backstory, yeah?

Red Fraction: I know Revy has a playlist she uses when she’s doing premediated killing. I know Gen Urobuchi put a Rage Against The Machine song on that playlist for the 90’s. But this fic is set 70 years after that time; what the flippedy dippedy was I supposed to do for Revy music? Make shit up? Endless fictitious Black Metal groups? So, in the spirit of a Big Grand Opening, I decided to go for Lagoon’s anime OP. Because it’s such a Revy song, isn’t it? Aggressive, profane, swaggering, and all the same just a little defensive (These aren’t tears / don’t let them trick you). Every part of it feels like a song Revy would sing. So if I was opening with Revy, I had to back that up. Shit, I might sync fight scenes to music more often after this, too.

Riot Boomers: I visualized some very Five Star Stories looking mecha for this particular not-in-the-actual-series Boomer, very exaggerated and top-heavy. I don’t know why.

In the land of the blind…: This is one of the best action movie one-liners I have come up with, like, ever. I’m so proud of it.

The Doberman: The Doberman is probably the scariest-looking Boomer in all of BGC, and it gets only a bit part enforcing order in the opening of OVA 5. So a) I thought I’d bring it back as a scary threat and b) thought I’d rip it to bits with ease so the reader gets an idea of how goddamn powerful the Sabers are in this fic, how after about a year and a half of operation their hardware and tactics are such that they can render one caught-off-guard hunter-killer unit so much nanotech meat and scrap. So maybe it should be a tougher fight realistically, but I wanted to show off. Forgive me.

Gunship’s The Mountain: No real thematic purpose to this particular bit of music. It just feels like really good opening-to-something music.

Rock’s Mental State: Oofah. Our boy isn't doing so good, is he? In tumblrspeak we'd call him a Sad Blorbo Meowmeowman. For real Lagoon fans (Lagoonatics?), you may be wondering how closely I'm following the events of the anime and the manga after that (I do treat the order of events for the first few arcs as being in the anime's canon not the manga's), and the answer, profound and deep, is a great big 'eh'. That is to say: Everything that happened in the manga / anime happened, with only history-updating changes to the characters' backgrounds and their patron organizations changed. But of course I'm going to deviate from where Hiroe-sensei wants to take what's left of the manga. I don't know what he's doing, and I'm not waiting around for ten years or so for him to finish. So: Roberta got fucked up, Feng Yifei / Li Xinlin has found her home in Roanapur, and Le Majeur did join the Lagoon Company. Where is she now? Um... you'll find out later. Suffice to say that I'm guessing that as of the events of the manga as-is (2023), Rock's been in Roanapur about two years, and as of this fic's timing, he's been around for about three. Things can change a lot in a year, especially in a city like that. As for how closely I'm following the spinoffs, again I give you an 'eh' followed by a belated 'not really'. Initial Stage is too tied up in the geopolitics of the 90's to translate lore well to this fic, and Gore Gore Girl introduces a bunch of characters I don't really care about and so probably won't do anything with (untranslated, but I read about it on the wiki. It seems to be a much sillier series than OG Lagoon and that's saying something.) I think the only non-Hiroe media with events I want to trace are the Gen Urobuchi light novels, since they're amusing fun that introduce new characters without going overboard on throwing wrenches into the plot. Well, except for Shadow Falcon. He's not showing up in this fic for sure. Say he's around, but he's on assignment elsewhere.

Opening Credits: So wayyyyyy back in 1991, the first digital-native anime fanfiction megacrossover, one Undocumented Features, was published by a couple of dudes at Worchester Polytechnic Institute. As you can see, a similar thing was done there, something that I find so funny that I've tried to use it myself for my own fics, using JP voice actors for the main cast like real credits (yeah yeah yeah I know, everyone tells me the Lagoon dub is superior, it's probably better for the Japan arc for sure so I don't have to listen to Megumi Toyoguchi choke out 'Haiy Asuhoru' again, but Roberta's seiyuu does one of the best performances of her career there and you can't convince me otherwise), and throwing up some fictitious production companies into existence to amuse myself and others. If you can figure out what they're referencing, let me know and I'll... eh, I'll be internet-happy. It will, of course, be updated on the AO3 version of this fic as I add in new cast members; so far, all I've got there is characters I know have to show up in the fic, with more to hopefully come along the way (might have to just put in seiyuu names without their characters for a bit of surprise? Eh, you could just look them up then if you really wanted to, we'll see).

Anyway, that's that! Hope you enjoyed the work so far! I've got the next chapter written, it just has to be edited, but to whet your appetite, let me ask you a question: How did Balalaika know how to contact the Knight Sabers? And why did Saber White accept her request?

Yehuda Holtzman, CEO of Cipia – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/yehuda-holtzman-ceo-of-cipia-interview-series/

Yehuda Holtzman, CEO of Cipia – Interview Series

Yehuda Holtzman serves as the CEO of Cipia. The company specializes in image processing and AI, with extensive expertise in research, implementation, and optimization of algorithms for embedded platforms and the in-car automotive industry. Cipia is headquartered in Israel, with global offices in the United States and China.

Yehuda brings over 25 years of business, technological and managerial experience as a CEO of technology and communications companies to lead Cipia. In his most recent role, Holtzman served as CEO of On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI), a global provider of near field communication (NFC) and cashless payment solutions. In prior years he served as CEO of Mobilogy, overseeing its sale to the American ESW Capital fund. Yehuda was also a co-founder of the software company ExploreGate, where he served as CEO from 2012 to 2016, as well as co-founder of MobileAccess, where he served as President of the company through its acquisition by Corning Incorporated In 2011. Yehuda has a master’s degree in management from Ben-Gurion University and a bachelor’s degree in electronics engineering from the University of Brighton in England.

Can you elaborate on Cipia’s vision for the future of in-cabin sensing solutions and how you plan to achieve it?

Cipia’s long-term vision leverages the opportunities and business models created by each step on the way to fully autonomous cars. Namely, progresses through three main stages:

First, we’re focused on reducing accidents by monitoring the driver and raising the alarm if they are tired or distracted. Next, we’ll move to semi-autonomous vehicles, where our systems become even more crucial as drivers may need to quickly take back control of the vehicle. Finally, in fully autonomous vehicles, we’ll shift to enhancing the in-car experience through technology that recognizes the car’s occupants and remembers their preferences.

How has your previous experience at OTI and other tech companies prepared you for your role at Cipia, and what are the biggest challenges you’ve faced since becoming CEO of Cipia?

My experience managing several growth companies has well-prepared me to lead Cipia, especially during this critical phase in the company’s lifecycle. I’m particularly familiar with the challenges and opportunities that come with this stage. The dual focus on both expanding the company and establishing a sustainable growth strategy is essential. For instance, since I joined Cipia, we have increased our gross margin while more than doubling the number of automotive manufacturers among our customers. Our goal – and our biggest challenge – is to be the leader in our field, and one of our key advantages in this technology-driven market is Cipia’s extensive experience with computer vision and AI. The opportunity to apply my expertise in a market segment focused on saving lives makes my work especially meaningful.

How does Cipia’s technology differentiate itself from other driver and occupancy monitoring systems on the market?

Cipia’s computer vision AI is built on extensive experience with edge processing, which has lean hardware requirements as a constraint from the design phase. This means our algorithms are optimized to require fewer hardware resources, enabling deployment in systems that ultimately cost less to our customers and enable wider deployment.

Can you explain the advantages of lean edge processing in Cipia’s solutions?

The advantage of lean edge processing is twofold. First, it facilitates lower system costs since fewer hardware resources are required. Second, it brings more capabilities to the edge, meaning that more processing can happen locally, ensuring no connectivity is required, and the data doesn’t have to be transmitted elsewhere for processing. In the world of automotive safety systems, this is a hard requirement. It enables low latency, safety, and security.

With distracted driving being a leading cause of accidents, how effective are Cipia’s solutions in reducing such incidents?

Very.

To give just one example of the data we’ve seen, according to the director of transportation at a major beverage company, before using Cipia, an overwhelming 86% of their accidents were attributed to human error. This company implemented Cipia’s solution designed for fleets and saw a 90% reduction in phone use while driving and a 70% decrease in accidents.

How does Cipia ensure its technologies comply with the latest GSR and Euro NCAP requirements?

Cipia employs comprehensive validation methods, including on-track and on-road testing of its offerings, to ensure full compliance with regulatory and safety standard requirements. Collecting the required data according to the various protocols takes time and resources, but that is part of the benefit a long-time provider of driver monitoring systems offers. We are also a member of the Euro NCAP tier 2 DMS suppliers workgroup and are very proud of our contribution to safety through this important work.

Beyond safety, what are some potential applications of Cipia’s AI technology that could enhance the driving experience?

Cipia’s underlying software enables customized experiences for drivers and passengers. Some of the features car manufacturers can implement with Cipia include mouth tracking for voice commands, ensuring the vehicle responds exclusively to the driver. Infotainment interaction detection, which tailors vehicle controls based on which user is interacting.

Driver’s gaze detection would prevent distractions by pausing video content when the driver is peeking at the screen. Those are just a few of the dozens of features enabled by computer vision AI that would enhance the driving experience.

How does Cipia ensure the privacy and security of the data processed by its in-cabin sensing solutions?

Cipia’s embedded solutions are fully private and secure. Our solutions analyze the video stream in real-time, translating it to metadata. No images are stored, recorded, or sent from the device. For TSPs and Fleets, the customer may choose whether to receive text-based alerts only or include video snippets before and after an event. Under both cases, Cipia does not receive or store video data of any kind.

What trends do you foresee in the automotive AI and computer vision industry over the next decade?

Looking forward, I believe the industry will continue to focus on safety, but we’ll also see a shift towards enhancing the overall in-car experience. This could include monitoring vital signs, detecting if a driver is under the influence (even if they’re not actively driving), and improving child safety features like detecting if a child has been left in the car.
