Computers Only Run Programs While the programs are getting far more complex over time, they’re still just programs. Like was said in Short Circuit, “It doesn’t get sad. It doesn’t get happy. It just runs programs!” Computers can only run what’s in the program, and the computer can only process … [continued]
Energy storage scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are turning to cutting-edge machine-learning techniques to strengthen understanding of advanced battery materials, chemistries, and cell designs. These complex computer algorithms help accelerate the characterization of battery performance, lifetime, and safety by offering insights into potential patterns within datasets. Researchers can use … [continued]
Tesla firmware hacker and researcher who goes by the name of “green” recently revealed that Tesla is migrating towards neural nets (NNs) for Full Self-Driving (FSD) decision making.
While I’m only at the beginning of this journey, what I’ve learned so far has been very enlightening. It’s tempting to see systems like Tesla’s Full Self Driving (FSD) beta as a child that is learning by doing while we supervise and keep things safe.
This third round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects concerns innovations in manufacturing for solar hardware.
This second round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects we’re looking at concern Systems Integration and AI Applications in Solar Energy with Emphasis on Machine Learning. Below are DOE summaries of how it intends to help on these topics as well as awardee details from the DOE.
Like in many families, my kids are doing remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. In theory, they’re learning from the teachers during Zoom meetings and then turning their work …
How does the future of mobility shift? Does new technology disrupt the transportation landscape with seismic force? Or does it slide in like a sly dinner guest, slowly and quietly winning friends and influencing industries?
In the second half of this CleanTech Talk interview, Michael Barnard sits down with Paul Werbos, Ph.D. Co-Director of the Center for Intelligent Optimization and Networks, to talk about all things climate change.
