Apple’s migration deadline for updating from the old HomeKit architecture to the new Apple Home architecture is February 10.

Users who do not update by the deadline risk their HomeKit setup stopping work.

Instructions on how to update to the new architecture are available for users who have not yet done so.

GPT-4o fails to optimize code approximately 90% of the time, according to available data.

This high failure rate is attributed to the limitations of zero-shot prompting, which is unable to effectively optimize code.

In response to these limitations, an alternative approach has been developed, focusing on building an agentic search workflow to improve code optimization outcomes.

Researchers can optimize Variational Autoencoders (VAE) by selecting an appropriate statistical model for the latent space, with options including Gaussian VAE, Categorical VAE (CAT-VAE), and Spherical VAEs.

Gaussian VAE is a commonly used model, while Categorical VAE (CAT-VAE) provides an alternative approach for discrete latent spaces.

Emerging models, such as Spherical VAEs, utilize Kuramoto networks to enhance their performance, offering a new direction for VAE optimization.

The European Union has invested €700 million in NanoIC, a semiconductor pilot line under the European Chips Act.

NanoIC, located at the imec research hub in Leuven, is an open pilot line for prototyping and testing advanced chip technologies.

The facility provides access to beyond-2-nanometre system-on-chip technologies, early-stage process design kits, and advanced toolsets.
