Every year shopify makes a website tracking the massive surge in compute on black friday. Right now they are tracking ~45+ million Kafka requests per second, and about 88,000 gigabytes of data per minute. (it's also just a really cool website)

So cool.
Can you run WebGL shaders in realtime on Sphere? Turns out you can. @Shopify just did it for visualizing realtime sales in a whole new way.

AI in robotics gets all the attention right now, but sometimes the most interesting work is very practical. Viet built a small vision system that counts potatoes on a conveyor belt. No giant dataset. No huge model. Just a clear problem and a smart setup. He used Ultralytics’

More like they’re using some automated posting mechanism like @hootsuite running on us-east-1 or other US-based data center.

Neat!
Good overview of the landing. We nominally target a few hundred feet away from Jacklyn to avoid a severe impact if engines fail to start or start slowly. We’ll incrementally reduce that conservatism over time. We are all excited and grateful for yesterday. Amazing performance by

😎 Public money well spent IMO.
Canada is officially on its way to becoming a true spacefaring nation! 🚀 The Government of Canada is investing $182.6M in sovereign space launch capabilities, and for the first time in our nation’s history has sent a clear signal that assured access to space is of vital

Detecting merging black holes by their distortions in space-time is never going to get old. So fascinating and amazing!
We are pleased to announce our discovery of #GW241011 and #GW241110 Both come from binary black holes where one black hole is larger than the other. The larger black holes have large spin. Could these black holes have formed in a previous merger? https://t.co/Jlq9NaLr8H
