Tesla is deploying solar roofs and Powerwalls in a brand-new development in Austin, Texas. It has partnered with Brookfield Asset Management and Dacra to offer Tesla Solar Roofs and Powerwalls as a package on brand new houses. The project has been going on for a year and there are already quite a few houses in the development with the technology.

The installations in the development could eventually be included in Tesla's upcoming Texas virtual power plant.
OpenAI has open sourced Whisper, a speech recognition system that enables transcription in multiple languages as well as translation from those languages to English. Whisper was trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask data collected from the web. The model is particularly limited in the area of text prediction and it doesn't perform equally well across all supported languages. OpenAI hopes that Whisper will make automatic speech recognition technology more accessible.

There are indications that people who aren't infertile will turn to IVF to take advantage of the testing.

The Amazon Software Builder Experience group was formed earlier this year to help turn Amazon into 'Earth's best employer for software builders'. The team has more than 400 employees working on code automation, improved developer tools, enhanced tutorials, and safety infrastructure.
