Exclusive: DG Matrix raises $60M to make data center power smarter | TechCrunch
The startup is making solid-state transformers capable of intelligently aggregating power from a number of different sources before sending it to data center racks.

The outcome of a bunch of shader tuning last night: the upsample filter (4x sin(x/x) from 20M to 80M points in this test) went from 6.55 ms to 1.5 ms.
Original: 8% of peak DRAM read BW, 31% write, 14% L2$ hit rate.
New (just changed memory access patterns to be more coalesce/cache friendly): 9% read, 37% write, 73% L2$ hit
A similar memory ordering optimization cut the PAM edge detector from about 14 to 10 ms but my SM occupancy is still crap (around 12% of warp slots used)…

"But as you can see, the programs do come at a cost... we estimate about $27.4m a year goes to the administrative costs and also the projected fare revenue reduction."
I'm waiting for the slide where they estimate the much higher cost of all the unmetered parking spaces across the city, and of turning off meters at 6pm and on Sundays. I'm sure that'll definitely be later in this presentation, right?

I have started playing this weekend the game Metro Exodus and it is pretty cool and... crudel. I like it. But I feel like I will need to read or watch something stupid or "happy" to warm up my heart after playing this game, and I've read that the books are even more crudel.

I would like to get two 10x10x200cm wooden beams and cut them diagonally to get four very long wedges that I can use to raise my mattress base.
Is that doable or insane? And if doable, and if you're in #Berlin or #Germany, is it something I can ask Bauhaus or the like to do for me (in which…

A rare daylight #fireball coming with a loud bang was seen and heard Tuesday morning over the U.S. and Ohio in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHBjApk3d6w - see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-12-marz-2026/ for links to many more reports. And https://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/meteorite-falls/events/windfall-oh says: "Signatures of falling meteorites are seen in data from three weather radars [...] NASA Meteoroid Environment Office finds that this was a 2m diameter object weighing around 6 metric tons - more of a small asteroid than a large meteoroid. [...] There are meteorites on the ground around Windfall, OH towards River Styx, OH."
