Betavolt's miniature battery could spell the end of smartphone chargers
  • Sounds very similar to the old Soviet pacemakers with radioisotope batteries. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, records about them got lost and so a bunch of people have been buried with pretty radioactive stuff in their chest. I don't think we (as developed societies) are going to take that risk for some phone batteries...

  • Amazon's Trainium2 AI Accelerator Features 96 GB of HBM, Quadruples Training Performance
  • It seems to me like this approach to custom-built ML hardware which can only be leased as a service, not bought outright (such as this or Google's TPUs), is not very promising for research. Sure, this might be a cost-effective way for companies to deploy LLMs and maybe AWS can squeeze out a few interesting papers but since nobody else can do this without paying Amazon obscene amounts of money I don't see this leading to the next great innovation in the field. It's at least interesting that Google's TPUs barely had an impact, I'm curious to see if this will also be true for Amazon.

  • I can't help myself...
  • There's certainly a lot of group think happening on Lemmy which makes some threads a bit boring so I applaud the OP for daring to post their (bad, misguided, unfunny) meme regardless of its (lack of) quality.

  • I too am now the proud owner of an IBM Model M.
  • I happened upon two of these in much the same way, one of them unfortunately doesn't work but the other one has been my home office keyboard (too loud for the office) for many years. I've always wanted to fix the broken one by swapping in a modern controller, maybe even make it wireless (because that would be truly absurd).

  • Rescuers recover more than 260 bodies at music festival attacked by Hamas
  • So far the Israeli government under Netanyahu has mostly done things to strengthen Hamas, a more radical and violent (but controlled by the vastly stronger Israeli military, or so they thought) group in power in Gaza was deemed beneficial since it prevents the formation of "reasonable", anti-violent advocates for Palestinian liberation. Didn't really work out that well I guess.

  • The Beehaw project is considering leaving the Fediverse because of some significant challenges
  • I don't think you can derive anything about "the left" from this. You can't e.g. blame users from hexbear for not wanting to bring the debate to others, in fact that's why many instances defederate from them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
