k-means has been an offline tool for decades. You run it once to preprocess data, then move on. A team of researchers from UC Berkeley and UT Austin released Flash-KMeans, a new open-source library that targets a different setting. Modern AI pipelines now call k-means inside training and inference loops. At that frequency, latency per

After three years of record-­breaking heat, this one is set to be yet another scorcher. Air-conditioning? Not going anywhere. The International Energy Agency projects that the number of AC units will triple by 2050. That’s good for health—one Lancet study estimated that AC prevented nearly 200,000 premature deaths in 2019 alone—but bad for the planet.
