On Saturday, the Women’s Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh celebrated 50 years of empowering survivors.

The center held a dinner and silent auction fundraiser at Allegheny Commons.

The shelter was one of the first domestic violence programs in the country.

The CEO says while we’ve made tremendous progress since then, raising awareness is still key.

“so much has changed in that 50 years, and yet we have so much farther to come to raise awareness for domestic violence, and offer help and hope to anyone experiencing domestic violence,” Nicole Molinaro said.

The women’s center estimates it serves 7,500 adult and child survivors annually.

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.
