MacBook Pro and PC setup relies on display’s KVM switch

Today’s beautiful MacBook Pro and PC setup lets the two “frenemy” computers work easily in the same setup through a 4K external display’s built-in KVM switch. That means no messing around with cables, and no swapping out or re-pairing peripherals. This post contains affiliate links. Cult of Mac may earn a commission when you use … Read more

Tiny heat pump that relies on changing ambient temperature could be key to powering IoT devices and sensors without batteries forever — Nanoparticles are critical to the process, posit scientists

Tiny heat pump that relies on changing ambient temperature could be key to powering IoT devices and sensors without batteries forever — Nanoparticles are critical to the process, posit scientists

As IoT technology progresses, the question of how to power these devices, particularly in locations where reliable electrical sources are scarce, presents a significant challenge.  Researchers at the University of Utah’s College of Engineering have pioneered a new form of battery that could help solve this dilemma. The solution, which is at the proof of … Read more

Meta sheds more light on how it is evolving Llama 3 training — it relies for now on almost 50,000 Nvidia H100 GPU, but how long before Meta switches to its own AI chip?

Meta sheds more light on how it is evolving Llama 3 training — it relies for now on almost 50,000 Nvidia H100 GPU, but how long before Meta switches to its own AI chip?

Meta has unveiled details about its AI training infrastructure, revealing that it currently relies on almost 50,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs to train its open source Llama 3 LLM.  The company says it will have over 350,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs in service by the end of 2024, and the computing power equivalent to nearly 600,000 H100s … Read more
