At Google Cloud Next '25, the company introduced Ironwood, its most advanced custom Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) to date. With 9,216 chips per pod delivering 42.5 exaflops of compute power, Ironwood doubles the performance per watt compared to its predecessor. Senior product manager Chelsie Czop explained that designing TPUs involves balancing power, thermal constraints, and interconnectivity. Google's long-term investment in liquid cooling, now in its fourth generation, plays a key role in managing the heat generated by these powerful chips. Czop highlighted the incremental design improvements made visible through changes in the data center setup, such as liquid cooling pipe placements. Customers often ask whether to use TPUs or GPUs, but the answer depends on their specific workloads and infrastructure. Some, like Moloco, have seen a 10x performance boost by moving directly from CPUs to TPUs. However, many still use both TPUs and GPUs. As models evolve faster than hardware, Google relies on collaborations with teams like DeepMind to anticipate future needs.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest AI infrastructure insights from Google Cloud:Google Cloud Therapist on Bringing AI to Cloud Native InfrastructureA2A, MCP, Kafka and Flink: The New Stack for AI AgentsJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

David Kennis emailed a photo: "It was a pleasure to hear my first episode  tonight why walking our dogs Bella the Great Dane and Thorin the Great Pyrenees Mix. The episode was #684. The Friel Sisters were the focus. Here in Ames, Iowa it happens that we have a Friel Drive. It isn't as lovely as the Friel Sister's voices and the instrumentation which accompanies them. You asked for a picture of what we are doing while listening. Mine is attached." Mike Sigler emailed a couple photos: “Hi Mark, Mike Sigler here.  I've been listening to your podcast regularly for a while now and have been meaning to write for almost as long. So what have I been up to: I've been running sound for a little Celtic music dinner concert series at The Old Brogue Falls Church Virginia, one of the several Irish pubs in the Washington DC area.  The series runs in the Fall and the Spring and consists of two dinner seatings and a wonderful performance of Celtic music.  I've been running sound for them for about two years (a new skill for me) and have been having a blast. I've attached pictures of the groups from the last two concerts, one by Jug of Punch (Pat Egan (Guitar), Sharon Knowles (Harp), Tabby Finchan (Key Board), John Knowles (Fiddle)) and the other by Charlie Zahm and Tadd Marks.  We've got three more concerts coming up this fall and I'm very much looking forward to them. Thanks for all you do – your show keeps reminding me to play and engage where I can (even if I seem to always find out about the local festivals only after they are over!). Best,"   Jeremiah Donier emailed an image: "Marc, I love your podcast and music. After visiting your merch website today and getting a free CD, I think you can use more designs. Attached is something I created based on the "Some Like it Scot" photo by Rich Johnson, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/176766354114786077/. I reached out to the photographer for his permission to design this and was given the okay. So, I wanted to create something fun and uplifting for the New Year with the saying "Up with Kilts! Down with Pants." I can add your logo too and whatever else you want to see (except for what's under the kilt of course  -  he he!). I can provide a vector file so it can be printed and scaled to whatever size is needed for the podcast's merchandise. This is free because I don't have much money to contribute, you give so much joy to the podcast listeners, and it is my small way of saying thanks for being so wonderful. Let me know what you think. Sláinte!"

Join us as we dive into Hebrews 4 and 5, learning to approach the throne of grace with confidence and draw strength from the One who empathizes with our every temptation.00:00 - Introduction07:37 - Why Not Draw Near?08:11 - Who are we drawing near to?27:43 - When to draw near?31:30 - How to draw near**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

In our two hundred and forty-seventh episode, Aaron is joined by Quinten. We talk about Ironwood and Unmatched: The Witcher - Steel and Silver in the BA Banter. Then in our Digital Diversion segment we talk about The Plucky Squire and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Then we discuss the Best Video Games of 2024 in Aaron Asks Anything. This episode is sponsored by Board Game Bliss and listeners like you on our Patreon

Seth and Luke tackle more of the questions that were submitted during Ask Anything. They tackle these questions:• What is the church's structure for leadership and accountability from a leadership perspectivewith the pastors and elders? And how does the church approach addressing unrepentant sinwithin the leadership and/or within the body?• We hear from men from preaching on Sundays. Where are the places we can hear and learn fromwomen? And who are they?• What vision would you give to young singles having a hard time finding purpose?• As our church grows and the pastor to member/attended ratio grows, how should we view the role of a pastor at Ironwood in 2025? Said another way, are there ways to feel pastored like a small church pastor would with more “touch” while attending an ever growing church?• I know the church's stance on homosexuality. I would like to know how this church would react/respond to an openly homosexual couple or transgender individual who would regularly attend church.• Why don't we use the extra books that are used in the Orthodox Christian Bible? What is your take on the Gospel of Mary? Mary Magdalene was obviously close to Jesus and why would we exclude her? Male patriarchy?• What is Ironwood's belief about what happens to people immediately after death? Is our soul asleepuntil Christ's 2nd coming, or are we resurrected immediately?• What is the role of the Spiritual Gift of Prophecy in the modern Church?• As pastors what is difficult feedback you have been given in the last year or so and how did you learn and grow from that feedback?• How do you accept when your child decides he or she wants to change their gender?• In all your experience, what is the best way you've seen a couple embrace God in their marriage?ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:- Video from three Ask Anything services in 2024- Wesley Huff video series, "Can I Trust the Bible"

Peter Wood emailed about Stubby Shillelaghs: "Hi Mark, I wrote a few years ago about playing the show with my wife in the car on dates and on our wedding day, and now we are expecting our first child. We don't listen to the show together much anymore, but when we go to the Renaissance Faire we played it (just missed you again!) and I put it on when we went for a swim on a summer evening when she wanted music without getting interrupted by YouTube Music ads. Since this year's Renaissance festival she's asked a few times for Tartanic when she's been in the mood for "my" music. Recently I was listening to a different podcast that plays novelty songs around a theme (Bitslap with KBC if you're curious), and the theme of the week was Drinking, so of course some Celtic - sounding music came up, and for part of a set I thought I was listening to your show! Of the two songs in particular that got me confused, the first was the Vodka Song by Stubby Shillelaghs (https://youtu.be/h9YRbJSbPw0) which I'm unsure if it or the band have ever been played on your show. It was followed by Sober on St. Patrick's Day, and at first I thought I might have heard it on your show, but then when it got going I realized it wouldn't have fit in on your family friendly show. Turns out it's by Psychostick. I know you've got ties to the FuMP collective so you're probably already aware of it. The Vodka Song at least would be a fun one to play if you've got the permission." Patrick Rieger emailed photos from Ohio Renaissance Festival: "Hi Marc, My family and I, along with our friend Chenna from Nashville, spent Labor Day Weekend at the Ohio Renaissance Festival, three days of faire. Ohio is a big faire with plenty of celtic musicians, but even with three days we didn't see them all. We did see Captain John Stout (aka Richard Brentar), Donal Hinely, The Harper and the Minstrel, The Toasted Clover, The Jackdaws, Bettina Baudville, Seán Nós, and The Lady Victoria. I had never heard of a nose harmonica until I met Bettina Baudville; that is what she is playing in the photo. Also I never heard celtic music played on a ukulele until I met The Toasted Clover. Donal Hinely was featured on the Renaissance Festival Podcast years ago when you were still a host, but until this year I had not seen or heard him in person." Despite three long days of working the faire, Victoria was able to join us for a quick dinner one night. And before the weekend was done, the four of us already planned to go back next year."  

Pastor Luke Simmons explores the theme of rest in this sermon from the series in Hebrews. Addressing the paradox in Hebrews 4, "let us therefore strive to enter that rest," Pastor Luke explains the concept of biblical rest and what it means to trust in God's promises. By examining the story of the Israelites in Numbers 13-14 and the promise of an ultimate rest in the new heavens and new earth, he challenges us to consider how we can strive to rest not by our own efforts but by faith in Jesus' finished work on the cross. This message encourages believers to evaluate their hearts, avoid the pitfalls of hardened hearts, and learn how to rest in God's grace. Tune in to discover how this promise of rest is available to you today.00:00 - Introduction05:13 - What's the Backstory?16:39 - What is Rest?16:49 - This Rest is Available18:36 - This Rest is from God20:38 - This Rest is Ultimate24:45 - This Rest is Experienced by Faith**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/
