In JavaScript, errors are only detected during runtime. Therefore, it is impossible to get compile-time errors when building JavaScript applications. There are several reasons an app might encounter a JavaScript exception: invalid input, server error, syntax errors, or errors in the application logic. In this article, we will dig into exception handling in JavaScript so that when your app encounters errors, it affects users as little as possible.

Multimodal AI is a critical player in the new wave of artificial intelligence. By combining different types of data like text, images, and audio, multimodal AI creates more intuitive and versatile AI systems that can more closely mimic human decision-making.

It’s no secret that artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way companies operate with its ability to sift through mountains of data and make accurate predictions at record speed. But with great power comes great responsibility. As AI systems are more regularly incorporated into business, it’s critical that data sources are both accurate and secure to prevent error.

The Strangler Pattern is a software modernization strategy that incrementally replaces parts of a legacy system with new functionality, allowing both systems to coexist until the legacy system is fully phased out.

What are the differences between generative AI vs. large language models? How are these two buzzworthy technologies related? In this article, we’ll explore their connection. To help explain the concept, I asked ChatGPT to give me some analogies comparing generative AI to large language models (LLMs), and as the stand-in for generative AI, ChatGPT tried to take all the personality for itself.
