Bunnie Huang ☛ Winner, Name that Ware February 2024
The ware for February 2024 is the core of a B&G 213 Masthead Wind Sensor, an instrument capable of reporting both wind speed and direction. Thanks again to FETguy and Renew Computers for the contribution! The coil on the left hand side is a brushless resolver, which determines the angle of the wind; the speed of the wind is detected by the pair of inductors on the right hand side.

[Repeat] Tom's Hardware ☛ Google to use RISC-V for its custom AI silicon — TPU to get open source compute core: Report
Google's current-generation TPU already uses SiFive's X280 general-purpose core to feed data to Google's matrix multiplication units or, as SiFive puts it, accelerate the accelerator. SiFive's X390 general-purpose core is tailored for AI and machine learning workloads. Neither SiFive nor Google have confirmed the rumor. Meanwhile, a significant reason to expect the cloud and search giant to keep using SiFive cores in its next-generation AI system-on-chips is to maintain backward compatibility with existing AI SoCs.
