The UNIHIKER is a unique single-board computer with a 2.8-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth capabilities. With built-in sensors like a light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, and microphone, the UNIHIKER can communicate with various analog/digital/I2C/UART/SPI sensors and actuators. Using Python, developers can control UNIHIKER’s integrated PinPong control library to directly control sensors and actuators. The built-in Jupyter […]
Python 3.13 plans aim to improve performance by reducing interpreter time through three parallel pieces of work; the ‘tier 2’ optimizer, enabling subinterpreters from Python code and better memory management. The ‘tier 2’ optimizer concentrates on reducing the impact of Python interpreters on the CPU, enabling faster speeds and parallelism. Performance profiling shows that a […]
ZLUDA is an experimental project that offers a drop-in replacement for CUDA on Intel GPU. It allows running unmodified CUDA applications on Intel GPUs without modification with near-native performance. While ZLUDA is slower in the Geekbench by approximately 2%, it uses Level 0, a low-level, high-performance API, and does not support asynchronous execution, giving it […]
Over 8,000 subreddits have gone dark in protest of Reddit’s upcoming API changes, rendering Google a lot less useful without them. Reddit offers a vast library of knowledge on every topic imaginable, with smaller sub-communities creating mini-forums on niche topics. For anyone with specific questions or problems, Reddit is the go-to place for quick and […]
The Apple Vision Pro (AVP) has been subject to many reviews, mostly by those with little technical knowledge or expertise in virtual and augmented reality. While many people discussed the uncanny valley and face capture with the Eyesight Display, nobody mentioned the issues of variable focusing and Vegence Accommodation Conflict (VAC). The AVP uses a […]
SMS messaging may be putting your location at risk. Unbeknownst to many, simply receiving “silent” text messages –those without any content– allows other users on the same network to deduce your whereabouts, according to a new report. The data set found that SMS delivery reports, which can’t normally be blocked or turned off, included timing […]
Anker has unveiled its Solix line of products designed to keep homes powered when the grid goes down. It has also introduced a battery for its DIY balcony-mounted solar panel solution. The company’s home solar energy storage system is modular and can be outfitted with as little as 5kWh of power, or as much as […]
In this post, the author questions the importance of basic skills in fields such as politics, education, and programming. While it’s necessary for leaders to make things happen, teachers to teach, and programmers to write code, basic skills are not enough since they lose sight of the big picture. The author argues that an ideal […]
Social media businesses like Twitter and Reddit rely on content that their users create for free to generate most of their value. As such, they have a social contract to provide APIs for users to download and manipulate that content. However, Twitter and Reddit charge for their APIs and use them to destroy third party […]
