A API Neural Web (WebNN) traz capacidades de aceleração do aprendizado de máquina diretamente para aplicações web. Com o WebNN, os desenvolvedores podem aproveitar o poder das redes neurais dentro do ambiente do navegador, possibilitando uma ampla gama de casos de uso impulsionados por IA sem depender de servidores externos ou plugins. O que é WebNN?

WebNN é uma API JavaScript que fornece uma interface de alto nível para executar tarefas de inferência de rede neural de forma eficiente em vários aceleradores de hardware, como CPUs, GPUs e chips de IA dedicados (às vezes chamados de NPUs ou TPUs). Ao utilizar aceleração de hardware, o WebNN permite uma execução mais rápida e eficiente em termos de energia de modelos de aprendizado de máquina, tornando-o ideal para aplicativos em tempo real e cenários onde a latência é crítica. Modelo de Programação

O WebNN segue um modelo de programação simples, permitindo que os desenvolvedores realizem tarefas de inferência com mínima complexidade. A API é focada em definir as operações e a infraestrutura necessária para executar modelos de aprendizado de máquina, em vez de lidar com funcionalidades de nível mais alto, como carregamento, análise ou gerenciamento de modelos. O WebNN é projetado para ser agnóstico em relação aos formatos de modelo e deixa a responsabilidade de carregar e analisar os modelos para outras bibliotecas (como ONNX.js ou Tensorflow.js) ou para a própria aplicação web.

Em alto nível, o WebNN basicamente tem 2 etapas para executar um modelo:

Construção do Modelo: No WebNN, o primeiro passo é construir o modelo usando a API MLGraphBuilder. Uma vez que o modelo tenha sido construído, ele pode ser transformado em um grafo executável.

Execução do Modelo: Uma vez que o grafo executável tenha sido construído, os dados são inseridos e o grafo executa tarefas de inferência para obter previsões ou classificações. O WebNN fornece métodos para selecionar back-ends (seja explicitamente ou por características) que então processam os dados de entrada e retornam resultados de saída do modelo.

O WebNN aproveita os aceleradores de hardware para acelerar a execução de modelos. Como o WebNN é agnóstico em relação ao hardware e modelo, ele pode usar qualquer um dos recursos de hardware disponíveis (seja CPU, GPU, NPU, TPU, etc.), maximizando o desempenho e minimizando a latência, possibilitando experiências de usuário suaves e responsivas.

Me alegra compartir con todos vosotros la quinta actualización de Plasma 6, iniciando así una serie de revisión de software que le dotará de más estabilidad, mejores traducción y resolución de errores. Estas actualizaciones son 100% recomendables y casi obligatorias para cualquier usuario ya que lo único que hacen es mejorar la versión sin comprometer sus funcionalidades.

Quinta actualización de Plasma 6

No existe Software creado por la humanidad que no contenga errores. Es un hecho incontestable y cuya única solución son las actualizaciones. Es por ello que en el ciclo de desarrollo del software creado por la Comunidad KDE se incluye siempre las fechas de las mismas siguiendo una especie de serie de Fibonacci.

La Comunidad KDE ha publicado se se ha lanzado la primera actualización de Plasma 6, una versión que ha supuesto una salto muy importante en cuanto a tecnología y que, francamente, ha salido bastante bien ya, por ejemplo, KDE Neon se actualizó pasadas unas horas del lanzamiento, con problemas menores y completamente funcional (de hecho, estoy trabajando desde el jueves 29 con él en todos mis equipos).

Creo es un buen momento para reflexionar: yo tardé casi un año en dar el salto a KDE 4 a Plasma 5, ya que es cuando pensé acertadamente que ya se ofrecía algo bastante estable para el trabajo diario. Para dar el salto de KDE 3 a KDE 4 fueron varios años, así que estamos ante un hito que marca un pico de calidad en el mundo del Software Libre.

Para dar el salto de Plasma 5 a Plasma 6 han bastado 5 horas. ¡Y lo mejor está por llegar! Y es que en realidad, los desarrolladores de KDE simplemente se han centrado en portar Plasma 5 a Plasma 6 y todas las novedades de la nueva tecnología está todavía en desarrollo y se irá implementando poco a poco.

Así que me congratula en presentar que el martes 21 de mayo de 2024, casi tres meses después de liberar el código la Comunidad KDE presenta la quinta actualización de errores entre los que destacan:

• Dr Konqi: Postman ya no se ejecuta tan frecuentemente.
• Fondo de pantalla del día: Se ha corregido el arrastre de la imagen de vista previa en Qt 6.7.
• Se ha corregido los problemas al navegar con el teclado

Más información: KDE

Las novedades básicas del Plasma 6

Han sido días tan frenéticos que no he podido hacer todavía la entrada detallando las novedades de Plasma 6 o de KDE Gears, pero he aquí una pincelada de las mismas .

• Nuevo efecto de vista general: se han combinado los efectos de Vista general y Cuadrícula de escritorios en uno, con grandes mejoras en los gestos del panel táctil.
• Color mejorado: Plasma en Wayland ya tiene compatibilidad parcial con alto rango dinámico (HDR).
• Nuevo fondo de escritorio: Árbol escarlata, creado por axo1otl.
• Panel flotante: en Plasma 6, el panel flota de forma predeterminada. Se puede cambiar, por supuesto.
• ¡Nuevos valores predeterminados!
• Brisa refrescada: se ha rediseñado el tema Brisa para que presente un aspecto más moderno, con menos marcos y con un espaciado más consistente.
• Preferencias reorganizadas: se ha mejorado la aplicación de Preferencias para que resulte más amigable y tenga menos páginas anidadas.
• ¡El cubo ha vuelto!
• Mejoras en la búsqueda de Plasma: ahora personalizar el orden de los resultados de la búsqueda y es mucho más rápida.
• Mejoras en Plasma Mobile.
• Cambios en todas las aplicaciones de KDE Gear: Kontact, Kleopatras. Itineray, KDE Edu, KDEnlive, Dolphin, Spectacle, etc.

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system that collects metrics from your hosts and applications, allowing you to visualize and alert on them. The syslog-ng Prometheus exporter allows you to export syslog-ng statistics, so that Prometheus can collect it.

While an implementation in Go has been available for years on GitHub (for more information, see this blog entry), that solution uses the old syslog-ng statistics interface. And while that Go-based implementation still works, syslog-ng 4.1 introduced a new interface that provides not just more information than the previous statistics interface, but does so in a Prometheus-friendly format. The information available through the new interface has been growing ever since.

The syslog-ng Prometheus exporter is implemented in Python. It also uses the new statistics interface, making new fields automatically available when added.
