Continual Learning in AI: How It Works & Why AI Needs It

Like humans, machines need to continually learn from non-stationary information streams. While this is a natural skill for humans, it’s challenging for neural networks-based AI machines. One inherent problem in artificial neural networks is the phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting. Deep learning researchers are working extensively to solve this problem in their pursuit of AI agents that can continually learn like humans.

Network Technician Guide: Key Roles, Tools, and Career Growth

In the ever-evolving landscape of the digital era, the backbone of our interconnected world is woven together by an intricate web of networks. Behind the scenes, ensuring the seamless operation of these networks are the unsung heroes known as network technicians.

Discovering the 24 Best Comprehensive Network Visibility Tools

In today's world, networks are crucial for businesses to communicate and share data smoothly. But keeping networks running well and staying ahead of performance issues can be tricky. That's where network visibility tools come in handy. These tools give a complete view of a network, helping IT pros see everything that's happening and fix any issues quickly.

Why you should monitor microservice mediator APIs

Microservice mediator APIs provide a flexible, scalable, and decentralized approach to microservices communication, enabling organizations to build robust, modular, and maintainable applications. They shield microservices from the details of the other implementations and promote loose coupling, helping to ensure autonomy, scalability, and independence among microservices.

Using eBPF to Debug eBPF

In one of our latest posts, StackState Co-Founder Mark Bakker described how eBPF revolutionizes observability and how StackState’s agents rely heavily on eBPF to capture and analyze the data moving through your cluster. Today, we’re looking at an example where our eBPF code failed and — by diving deep into the intricacies of eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel — share the tale of how we fixed it using even more eBPF.

Splunk second thoughts? It's time for the cloud-native alternative

Back in September when Cisco announced they were acquiring Splunk, we explained how the market was consolidating with Sumo Logic ahead of the pack, challenging traditional vendors with our cloud-native platform. Now that the deal is complete and Splunk is officially a Cisco company, we’re hearing from more Splunk customers who are considering their options.

What is alert fatigue and its effect on IT monitoring?

Talking about too many cybersecurity alerts is not talking about the story of Peter and the Wolf and how people end up ignoring false warnings, but about its great impact on security strategies and, above all, on the stress it causes to IT teams, which we know are increasingly reduced and must fulfill multiple tasks in their day to day.
