Consumer-Ready Optics Technology Finally Approaching Acceptable Standards
By
–
I hear otherwise, and have seen optics that are finally getting close to what consumers would put up with. But we'll see, these things are so hard.

Immersive Computing Beyond Flat Screens and Holograms
By
–
You can't immerse yourself with screens that don't move. Not nearly the same. You need to be able to move around your computing and interact with it. Flat screens just can not do that nearly the same way. Even funky new Holographic ones.

Nvidia Seeds CoreWeave with GPUs to Build Competitive Ecosystem
By
–
In addition, I've heard Nvidia is seeding CoreWeave (and potentially others) with GPUs to build competition in the ecosystem as the largest cloud providers scramble for access to that hardware. Nvidia is a big investor in CoreWeave.

360-Degree Camera Technology for Summer Events
By
–
Yeah! 🙂 Things to try at events next Summer. For now, will probably have a 360-degree camera.

Developers Shift to CPU-Based Inference and Model Fine-Tuning
By
–
That's forcing developers to get creative, including shifting their focus to fine-tuning models—and moving more work over to CPUs. As one source told me about increasing CPU usage: "would you prefer slow inference, or no inference?"

GPU Shortage Impacts AI Development at Weights & Biases Conference
By
–
Today's issue is about the growing GPU crunch, which was on a lot of minds at the Weights & Biases conference this week. Nvidia hardware—preferred for PyTorch development—is increasingly difficult to get a hold of, creating a more challenging AI development environment.

MIT Simplifies 3D Object Fabrication With Single String Folding
By
–
While many researchers and origami enthusiasts know that 3D objects can be fabricated as 2D sheets and folded into 3D shapes, the process can involve complex interventions. MIT fabrication method simplifies folding procedure to pulling a single string: https://
