NVIDIA INTRODUCES DEVICE AIMED AT SMALL COMPANIES, HOBBYISTS FOR AI USE

Nvidia is introducing a $249 version of its Jetson computer, which is essentially a portable brain mostly designed to allow developers of robots, industrial automation, and other hardware to run sophisticated AI computations without connecting to a remote data center. The Jetson lineup makes it easier for small companies, hobbyists, and students to try creating new products that integrate AI functions. The $249 Orin Nano Super nearly doubles the speed and efficiency of the previous device and can process about 70% more computational tasks. Despite trade restrictions, it will be available in China through local distributors.

The outage also revealed hidden dependencies between the control and data planes, showing the complexity of Kubernetes and the challenges in resolving cascading failures.

A TRANSPLANTED PIG KIDNEY OFFERS A GRANDMOTHER HOPE FOR LIFE WITHOUT DIALYSIS

Towana Looney, a 53-year-old grandmother from Gadsden, Ala, volunteered to become the first living person in the world to get a kidney from a new kind of genetically modified pig. Looney's operation took place on November 25 and she seems to be in good condition. While there are some risks to the procedure, such as the organs spreading pig viruses to people, as well as other ethical concerns, the technology may one day provide an unlimited supply of organs for transplantation and save thousands of patients every year.
