Kevin McCarthy’s downfall shows what happens when you capitulate to extremists

The new Speaker of the House will use the same tactics as Trump, but just in glasses and a quieter tone

Just one week into his Speakership, it is clear that Rep Mike Johnson (R-LA) is fully embracing the right-wing propaganda machine that Donald Trump exploited.

Donald Trump seemed to be riding high while heading into court on Monday morning to testify in his civil fraud trial. Over the weekend, a poll was dominating the news cycle.

A new poll shows Trump ahead of Biden in key states as a chaotic court appearance gave him the chance to put out bait for a judge and rally his base. But look deeper and the cracks are starting to show

Donald Trump seemed to be riding high while heading into court on Monday morning to testify in his civil fraud trial. Over the weekend, a poll was dominating the news cycle. A poll which apparently filled him with this confidence.

AI systems have an increasing sprawling impact in many application areas. Embedded systems built on AI have strong conflictual implementation constraints, including high computation speed, low power consumption, high energy efficiency, strong robustness and low cost. Neural Networks (NNs) used by these systems are intrinsically partially tolerant to computation disturbances. As a consequence, they are an interesting target for approximate computing seeking reduced resources, lower power consumption and faster computation. Also, the large number of computations required by a single inference makes hardware acceleration almost unavoidable to globally meet the design constraints. The reported study, based on an integer version of LeNet, shows the possible gains when coupling approximation and hardware acceleration. The main conclusions can be leveraged when considering other types of NNs. The first one is that several approximation types that look very similar can exhibit very different trade-offs between accuracy loss and hardware optimizations, so the selected approximation has to be carefully chosen. Also, a strong approximation leading to the best hardware can also lead to the best accuracy. This is the case here when selecting the ApxFA5 adder approximation defined in the literature. Finally, combining hardware acceleration and approximate operators in a coherent manner also increases the global gains.

The Trump campaign built their strategy around a very specific foe — and Biden dropping out is their worst nightmare come true. Ahmed Baba reports

Donald Trump reacted quickly after Joe Biden’s announcement, lambasting him on CNN as the “as the single worst president by far in the history of our country”.
