BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”
Smartphone penetration in Nigeria is 18.9%. This means about a fifth of Nigeria's population uses a smartphone. Why hasn't everyday commodities trade been digitized yet?
After checkout a video on https://t.co/SIJhtlnZ8V. i just realized a software developers relevance will greatly depend on the qualities started above in the coming years.
Critical thinking, context based thinking, emotional intelligence, niche domain expertise, outstanding ability to stay on a problem no matter how complex, until it gets solved, understand the customers you are building for.
Just to put it in perspective, it cost $19 billion to build the entire Dangote Refinery! Looking at the cost of getting these AI systems to work, you have to wonder—will Africa ever stop playing catch-up when it comes to developing advanced technologies?
One Nvidia H100 GPU goes for $25,000, and Meta already has around 350k of these bad boys. They're planning to bump that up to 600k by the end of the year. That many GPUs would be worth a cool $15 billion.

If you took agricultural science in secondary school, your teacher must have told you that free range chicken farming was a very inefficient way of growing chickens (sure - true), and chickens grown that way would not feed many people. Yes, because the chickens are small, and do take a lot of time to mature, the whole process was primitive and should be discarded, the teachers and the books would conclude.
Quickly, the teacher would introduce modern ways of farming chickens (yes, the agric chickens). Then, the teacher will take you into an excursion of how “science has advanced” to the point that we could have bigger chickens. The teacher possibly added: this agric chicken was big enough that you could not finish eating it alone unlike the local versions.
Where am I going? The Nigerian delegates and the broad African delegates to COP28 should shine their eyes. Do not take those promises and pledges line, hook and sinker. Why? When I came to America, I realized that only the rich people can enjoy the organic and artificial hormone-free chickens we enjoyed in the village. Really? Whole Foods, known for the whole pay cheque, was selling those things and they were expensive - and only the rich could afford them!
People, the organic chicken in your village market is a premium product which only rich Americans afford, with the masses shipped to the “agric chicken”. That is why we must be nuanced on all climate policies because some of the things we’re doing in Africa are just fine. But because we were re-educated and confused, we lost what was actually helping the world, only to be asked to return back to those things via big lectures in places like Dubai, London and New York.
My summary: if African leaders take efforts to implement ordinances which have been perfected by generations of Africans, we can mitigate gully erosion, reduce pollution and save our environments. But today we discard them in the name of development, only to score own-goals. Let's have a Sankofa moment across African states https://t.co/tLkafWUCzD
