The Restart Project has released an 'End of Windows 10' toolkit to help community repair groups assist users with unsupported Windows 11 PCs, amid criticism of Microsoft's hardware requirements and the limited support extension for Windows 10, which some see as insufficient for millions of users.
NVIDIA has announced several new technologies to enhance the AI PC platform, including the RTX AI Toolkit, AIM SDK, and ACE with NIMs. These innovations aim to accelerate AI capabilities on RTX GPUs, making AI experiences faster and more efficient. The new tools and updates will help developers deploy AI models more quickly and integrate advanced AI features into applications, solidifying NVIDIA's leadership in the AI industry.
A new toolkit is designed to assist health professionals in effectively communicating the health risks of climate change and the benefits of climate solutions, as addressing climate change presents an opportunity to promote better health and protect against climate-sensitive diseases. Health professionals can play a unique role in helping communities understand and protect themselves from climate change while realizing the health benefits of climate solutions.
Amateur astronomers have the opportunity to spot a toolkit dropped from the International Space Station (ISS) during a spacewalk. The crew lock bag, visible with binoculars, is floating just ahead of the ISS in Earth's orbit. The loss of the toolkit could be costly for NASA, as it is estimated to cost around $100,000 to replace. However, advancements in 3D printing on the ISS may reduce the need to send new tools into orbit in the future.
Black churches in Orlando are using a toolkit created by Faith in Florida to teach African American history to their congregants. With restrictions on teaching Black history in Florida, churches are stepping in to fill the gap. The toolkit includes recommended books, documentaries, and articles covering the history of the Transatlantic slave trade to the Civil Rights Movement. The classes aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of American history and culminate in a trip to important Civil Rights Movement sites in Alabama. Over 300 churches in Florida and the South have signed up to use the toolkit.
Researchers have developed a comprehensive DNA assembly toolkit to unlock the potential of CRISPR-Cas9 for metabolic engineering. The toolkit consists of seven modules that enable quick and easy assembly of integrative constructs and Cas9-helper plasmids. It includes methods for marker-free integration, donor DNA re-direction, and cloning of guide RNAs. The researchers demonstrated the functionality of the toolkit by engineering yeast to produce homogentisic acid, a precursor for pyomelanin, a constituent of natural sunscreens and cosmetics. The toolkit has broad applications in strain engineering and is expected to facilitate advancements in metabolic engineering and other fields of biological engineering.
Nvidia has released a new toolkit called AI Workbench, which allows developers to quickly create, test, and customize generative AI models on computers. The toolkit simplifies the process of starting an enterprise AI project and enables developers to customize models from open-source communities using custom data. With AI Workbench, developers can easily run generative AI with just a few clicks, making it easier for organizations to create AI-based applications. Nvidia has become a prominent player in the AI space, thanks to its powerful graphics processing units (GPUs) used for training large language models.
