We're saddened by the passing of Thomas Kurtz, co-creator of #BASIC and a pioneer in computer science education. His work made programming accessible to students worldwide and laid the foundation for countless innovations. Thank you, Thomas, for inspiring generations to code. computerhistory.org/blog/in-…

This is these guys in a nutshell. It's a shot-for-shot remake of the original trailer... except it's not even a good copy. It's not just that there is not a single original idea in there, they aren't even aware that they have taken out all the substance. (A li'l thread.)

Congratulations to space engineers Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis, who recently broke the record for the furthest distance any female astronaut has flown into space. 👩‍🚀 🚀 They were part of the four-member Polaris Dawn mission, reaching an altitude of approximately 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) above the Earth's surface. Along with the rest of their SpaceX crew, this marks the first time four astronauts have been exposed to the vacuum of space at once. bit.ly/3ziYUdk

One of the coolest robotics videos decoded! 🔐 I bet everyone in the tech world has probably seen this video. Where (old) Atlas from @BostonDynamics is doing flicks, tricks, and running around the obstacle course. Well, now you can see it from a robot's POV. Isn't that cool to see the perception of the environment from a robot perspective? ~~~ ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace.

We lend our digital books to anyone, anywhere. Libraries need to OWN books, not just license them from big corporations who don't share our mission of universal access. change.org/p/let-readers-rea… #OwnBooks #LetReadersRead

Representation, mentorship, and access to resources can make a difference for our students. We teamed up with @AIRInforms to find out the real impact that our Summer Programs can have on our students’ paths to science and tech careers, and the results tugged on our heartstrings. Thank you to AIR for validating what we've seen firsthand: Summer Programs are a catalyst for confidence and success in the tech industry.

Pixar doesn't use GPUs (much). Their render farm compute is mostly CPUs with a ton of cores + memory, using AVX-512 and SSE 4.2 optimizations when appropriate to optimize render time. Why? GPU render compute doesn't speed things up as much as you might expect. Yes, in certain instances, you can get a 3-4x benefit, however you have to fit all the polys in GPU memory. Paging back out to system RAM brings you back down to CPU speeds. Scenes can often contain > 150,000,000 polys. Only very recently have gpu memory sizes gotten big enough to be "worth it" over CPU rendering, and even then, it's often less flexible/tolerant of mixing older architectures in the cluster.
