Are you just as excited as I am about deep learning, sparse matrices and tensors, sparse computations, structured and unstructured sparsity, sparse compilers, NVIDIA, and GPUs? If so, please note that my team at NVIDIA is hiring!

In the weekend, I feel like a Ferrari mechanic. First, I replaced a leaking washer pump. This weekend, I fixed the non-functional retractable antenna. After disassembling everything, greasing the parts, and putting them back, this is the result!

In my time, university documents were only available in printed form. However, I found the LaTex sources of my MSc thesis, and was able to generate a PDF form!

I very kindly received an updated Zmartfun/HouseOfStaunton Sensory Board that now also features LEDs. You see a side-by-side comparison in the picture. I can't wait to add support for these LEDs to Chess for Android!

The iChessOne board had a firmware upgrade to support board sounds, now also supported in Chess for Android. Simply enable "clock beep" when connecting to this electronic chessboard, and the board will beep with each move!
