    Discord has polls now.

    To create a poll, select the Plus icon on the left side of the message bar and then hit Create Poll. You can make a poll with up to 10 different answers, set a time limit, and then send it to friends or post it within a channel. It looks like it’ll come in handy for those days when you and your friends just can’t decide on what to play.

    Peter Higgs, the British physicist who proposed the Higgs boson, has died.

    In 1964, Higgs came up with a theory about a particle that gives other particles their mass. The particle, which we now know as the Higgs boson, changed the way we view the universe. Scientists discovered the existence of the Higgs boson particle in 2012, and Higgs was awarded a Nobel Prize the following year.

    Higgs was 94.

    Intel launches new AI accelerator to take on Nvidia’s H100.

    Intel first introduced its Gaudi 3 AI accelerator last year, but now the company has revealed more details on performance. When compared to the H100 GPU, Intel says its Gaudi 3 accelerator can deliver “50% faster time-to-train on average across the Llama2 models” with better efficiency.

    The company also says the Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator will be a “fraction of the cost” of Nvidia’s pricey H100. It will become available to companies like Dell, HPE, and Lenovo in the second quarter of this year.

    So long, Studio Bot.

    Less than one year after launching its AI coding assistant, Google has announced that it’s changing its name from Studio Bot to Gemini in Android Studio — just to make sure you know that yes, it uses AI, too.

    Google also announced that the tool will run on the company’s Gemini Pro 1.0 model, which should help it provide faster and more accurate answers to coding questions. Gemini in Android Studio isn’t the only AI coding assistant out there, with both Amazon and the Microsoft-owned GitHub offering similar tools as well.
