Used Waymo Robotaxi Batteries Become Backup Storage For Power Grids

Waymo and B2U Storage Solutions have struck a "strategic supply agreement" to repurpose used batteries from Waymo's electric robotaxi fleet into stationary storage for California and Texas power grids. The arrangement could give robotaxi batteries a second life storing renewable energy after they're no longer suitable for vehicle use.

Tesla v100 SXM2  X2 32GB total

 В этом материале я разбираю практический кейс: развёртывание Qwen3.6-27B на двух Tesla V100-SXM2-16GB под управлением автономного агента Hermes от Nous Research. Карты подключены к потребительской платформе через адаптеры SXM2→PCIe — конфигурация, которую несложно собрать дома, но которая накладывает жёсткие ограничения на доступную видеопамять и межкарточную пропускную способность.

PewDiePie: разбираю self-hosted AI-workspace, который собрал 47 тысяч звёзд за пару дней

PewDiePie последние полтора года ушёл из развлекательного контента в технику: домашний сервер, локальные LLM, self-hosting. Результат — репозиторий Odysseus, self-hosted AI-workspace, который за дни набрал 47 тысяч звёзд. Телеграм-каналы пишут “закопал ChatGPT, без ограничений, с анонимностью”. Полез в репозиторий проверять — и картина оказалась честнее и интереснее: это не убийца ChatGPT, а грамотная сборка из готовых open-source кирпичей (opencode, llmfit, Tongyi) под единым приватным UI.

Эта статья о проблемах, с которыми сталкивается инженер при попытке объединить зоопарк старого оборудования с современным подходом к его мониторингу. Современный мониторинг строится вокруг динамических сущностей: микросервисы, контейнеры, оркестрация в Kubernetes, сбор метрик через Prometheus и визуализация в Grafana. В этой парадигме всё динамично меняется и обычно разговаривает на языке /metrics и OpenTelemetry.
