MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — Spring Hill College held its commencement ceremony Saturday morning on the Avenue of the Oaks.

The Class of 2024 walked down the avenue to get their diplomas at 9 a.m. May 11.

Fordham University’s President Tania Tetlow gave the commencement speech.

“This year’s commencement is extra special since COVID pandemic restrictions in 2020 forced many graduating seniors to miss out on their high school graduation,” read Spring Hill’s website.

“To have lost out on that monumental walk across stage is disheartening, to say the least. But now, those same students anticipate graduating the way they intended all those years ago — among the support of family and friends and the roaring sounds of applause.”

The commencement ceremony was live-streamed on YouTube.

Sous vide machines aren't haute cuisine, they're Millennial crockpots — and that's why they're perfect
I was visibly confused when I received the Anova Precision Cooker Nano as a gift. I associated sous vide cooking methods with the sort of intimidating, molecular gastronomy-style cuisine that is typically a fool's errand for home cooks. But I quickly found out that a sous vide machine is the perfect tool for someone like me who cooks herself a huge batch of something on Sunday and grazes on it through the workweek.

ZeroPoint's nanosecond-scale memory compression could tame power-hungry AI infrastructure
AI is only the latest and hungriest market for high-performance computing, and system architects are working around the clock to wring every drop of performance out of every watt. Swedish startup ZeroPoint, armed with €5 million ($5.5M USD) in new funding, wants to help them out with a novel memory compression technique at the nanosecond scale — and yes, it's exactly as complicated as it sounds. The concept is this: losslessly compress data just before it enters RAM, and decompress it afterwards, effectively widening the memory channel by 50% or more just by adding one small piece to the chip.
