KAUST Professor Mario Lanza and his co-researchers have successfully designed the world’s first 2D microchip using synthetic materials. Despite fabrication challenges, the team successfully created a chip functioning as a high-performance, low-power neural network element, opening doors for the advancement of microchip technology.

How to use write Jax-style PyTorch modelsPhoto by Ricardo Gomez Angel on UnsplashPyTorch has recently integrated the torch.func module into its main codebase in the 2.0 release. This module, previously known as functorch, enables the development of purely functional neural network models in PyTorch with a straightforward API. This package is PyTorch’s response to the growing popularity of Jax, a Python framework for general differentiable programming built using a functional programming paradigm from the ground up.In this…

You can now dance dance away with your fingers using some tech wizardry plus crochet. TikTok creator kims_threads (Via Polygon) posted a tutorial explained how they made a functional DDR pad by crocheting yarn, weaving conductive thread in-between the crocheted pattern, and plugging the creation into the open-source software project Arduino. They then shows footage of them playing DDR with their fingers.As Polygon points out, you could enlarge the project in theory by crocheting granny squares, making a…

Netizens should expect an upgrade to the share sheet on Android 14 bringing new features and design layout. The Android community is just months away from the release of a new operating system. With each new release comes new features that change how users interact with the system daily.As the community draws closer to this launch, there are a few new features that are coming to the limelight. One such feature has to do with the share sheet and its new interactive tools. Information about this coming upgrade to the share…

The TBM, named ‘Mahavir’, was lowered 16 metres below the surface into the location of the Moin-Ul-Haq metro station,…

The Galaxy S23 was made official today at Galaxy Unpacked, and if you’re considering buying one, you’ll probably want something to protect it, such as these newly announced cases from ESR. Best of all, is ESR’s cases aren’t too expensive. Which is great because you might be spending quite a bit of money on those new phones from Samsung. So you might as well save money where you can, right?ESR has a handful of cases coming out for the Galaxy S23 series. Though not all of the cases are available for each model of the…

OpenAI is working at a slower pace to release a functional ChatGPT 4 says the OpenAI CEO OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT has astounded both novice users and professionals all around the world, but CEO Sam Altman had to dispel rumors about the company’s future ChatGPT 4 in an interview. A viral internet image suggested that while ChatGPT 3 was trained on billions of pieces of data, this would be a speck compared to the data being supplied to ChatGPT 4. During a conversation with StrictlyVC, the interviewer…

Too Long; Didn't ReadFunctional programming is a way of writing code that relies on the use of functions to solve problems. Pure functions, which always produce the same output for a given input and do not have any side effects, are also an essential element of functional programming. In addition, functional programming emphasizes immutability, or the inability to alter data once it has been created. Using these concepts, developers can write code that is more predictable, modular, and easier to reason about.L O A D I N…

Looking like a cross between a helicopter and a fixed-wing airplane, ASKA’s full-scale A5 eVTOL prototype is currently capable of both driving and flying. It stole the show at CES 2023, earlier this month.I was originally supposed to get to drive the hybrid vehicle up and down the famed Las Vegas Strip. Unfortunately, it was damaged in its transit from northern California, leaving it un-drivable for the show.However, I did still get treated to an up-close and personal view. I sat inside the cockpit, and I saw the vehicle…
