• Turned my old 10-year-old android tablet into a wall clock/weather station

  I'm going to suggest- you ever heard of Home Assistant? It's a really useful home automation tool you could integrate with weather and clock on a dashboard. As well, you could use it to control smart devices. Source: about 1 year ago

• Pathways Language Model (Palm): 540B Parameters for Breakthrough Perf

  According to https://cloud.google.com/tpu, each individual TPUv3 has 420 Teraflops, and TPUv4 is supposed to double that performance, so if that guess is correct, it should take a few seconds to do inference. Quite impressive really. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• The AI Research SuperCluster

  You can also rent a cloud TPU-v4 pod (https://cloud.google.com/tpu) which 4096 TPUv-4 chips with fast interconnect, amounting to around 1.1 exaflops of compute. It won't be cheap though (excess of 20M$/year I believe). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Stadia's future includes running the backend of other streaming platforms, job listing reveals

  Actually, that's done with TPUs which are more efficient: https://cloud.google.com/tpu. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Nvidia CEO: Ethereum Is Going To Be Quite Valuable, Transactions Will Still Be A Lot Faster

  TPU training uses Google silicon and is thus a true deep learning alternative to Nvidia. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Server Question

  The server choice really depends on how much CPU and RAM the requests take, how many users will be hitting the server, etc. You can start with a $5/month Digital Ocean server (or AWS or Google) and see if that works for you. Or you can outsource the server administration to Amazon or Google if you don't want to deal with it or need specialized tpu hardware. Source: about 3 years ago
