How does security analytics improve IT operational efficiency?

Security analytics provide real-time insights into emerging threats and vulnerabilities, thus empowering teams to identify and mitigate potential risks before they escalate. This helps gain deeper insights into the security posture and enables them to protect their infrastructure more effectively.

How to Build Applications With Asyncpg and PostgreSQL

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through creating applications with asyncpg and PostgreSQL. I'll start with the configuration basics and gradually build a simple app for financial data management. By the end, you will have learned how to make applications efficient but also scalable with asyncpg and PostgreSQL. But first, let’s describe the tools we’ll use in this tutorial.

11 Open Source Python Projects You Should Know in 2024 🧑‍💻

Python is one of the easiest programming languages, and it can be used in almost every technical field — whether it's data science, automation, IoT, AI, machine learning, or web development. In this article, I've covered 11 open-source Python projects that every web developer should keep an eye on.

5 Data Lake Examples That Prove They’re Not Just a Buzzword

A data lake is essentially a vast digital dumping ground where companies toss all their raw data, structured or not. A modern data stack can be built on top of this data storage and processing layer, or a data lakehouse or data warehouse, to store data and process it before it is later transformed and sent off for analysis.

Using RAG-Enabled LLMs to Automate Data Analysis

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-enabled large language models (LLMs) offer a trivial solution to the challenges of conventional data analysis workflows. Here, you’ll explore the possibilities of using RAG-enabled LLMs to automate data analysis and how it transforms the way we work with data.

👨‍💻 Data Tools, Libraries

WebJSX (GitHub Repo)

WebJSX is a minimal library for building web applications with JSX and Web Components. It provides two core functions: createElement, which creates virtual DOM elements using JSX, and applyDiff.

Spin (GitHub Repo)

Spin is a bash utility that improves the Docker experience. It can replicate any environment on any machine and centralize infrastructure from a single configuration file. Spin dramatically improves the developer experience when working with Docker using officially supported features and best practices.

AI Gateway (GitHub Repo)

AI Gateway is an interface between apps and hosted large language models. It streamlines API requests to LLM providers using a unified API.

How to Access Llama 3.2 Without Any Charges

The new Llama 3.2 models can be downloaded from platforms like Hugging Face, but there’s also a quick way to try their features. Here’s how:

Visit Chatbot Arena—no login or signup is required.
Select "Direct Chat" from the top menu.
Choose the model you want to interact with. New ones include:
- llama-3.2-vision-90b-instruct and llama-3.2-vision-11b-instruct (powerful vision models)
- llama-3.2-3b-instruct and llama-3.2-1b-instruct (lightweight models)
Once selected, scroll down and send your text query. You can also upload images for the vision models and ask various questions about them. To upload, use the option on the left side of the text box (paperclip icon).
