Happy pythagorean triple square day!
This last week I visited the World’s Largest Raspberry Pi Cluster that is now located at Univercity of California Santa Barbara and the students, grad students and professors doing research with it. And the IT department! Amazing, simply amazing! Can’t wait for the next visit!
Once typing is added to Python it isn’t really any less verbose than Java. In fact I’d argue the opposite.
I stay away from politics and I'm all for balanced budgets but I have three things to say. There should be age limits. 70 seems like a fine age to retire. There should be term limits. And Congress should be included in the shutdown so they don't get paid. Then would they care.
There's also a new Active Cooler and case with improved airflow and a much quieter PWM fan. These are both huge upgrades over what came before, and allow the BCM2712 to run forever without throttling.
Today Eben Upton announced the new Pi 5! I'm most excited about this sentence "we’ve grown a pair of mounting holes for a heatsink, as well as JST connectors for the RTC battery". I'll have to think of a project. Any suggestions?
