Topekans gather at Dillons to collect free compost

TOPEKA (KSNT) – Dillons gave away 50 yards of compost to the local community Saturday in north Topeka.

Area residents had the opportunity to take home some of the compost for free the morning of April 6.

“Today, I think the beautiful weather had a hand in how quickly the compost was distributed, we had customers show up, which always warms my heart to see all of the faces that are here,” said Sheila Regehr, Dillons spokeswoman. “We had a fantastic day, the compost went very quickly today.”

As a part of the Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative, the grocery store Dillons gave away 1.4 million pounds of food to their food bank partners and converted more than fifty-two hundred tons of food waste into compost. In addition to the compost giveaway, Dillons was able to provide $5,000 to the Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center.

Lumos helps companies manage their employees' identities — and access
Safundzic -- speaking to TechCrunch -- says that the class drove home the point that few people, particularly in the corporate sector, have control over their online identities. It's this seed of an idea that led Safundzic, Lopez and Mehr to brainstorm ways to better manage digital corporate identities. Lumos, which can be accessed via a command line or the web, helps to orchestrate tasks like audits of which users have access to which apps and systems within a corporate environment.

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 ($5.5 million 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.

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.

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.
