Hybrid cloud hardware capable of running 208 vCPUs and a handful of cloud services while living on the edge
Amazon Web Services has announced a new member of its"Snow" family of on-prem hardware – but the specs of the machine appear not to be available to eyes outside the US military.the"Snowblade" on Tuesday, revealing it's a"portable, compact 5U, half-rack width form-factor" that can offer up to 209 vCPUs running"AWS compute, storage, and other hybrid services in remote locations, including Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited environments.
The boxes can run Amazon EC2, AWS IAM, AWS CloudTrail, AWS IoT Greengrass, AWS Deep Learning AMIs, Amazon Sagemaker Neo, and AWS DataSync., meaning it can handle extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shocks. The cloud colossus's brief description also lauds the Snowblade as"the densest compute device of the AWS Snow Family allowing Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability customers to run demanding workloads in space, weight, and power constrained edge locations."
The AWS announcement links to more information on its Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability – and there be dragons. Your correspondent's civilian-grade AWS account was unable to access JWCC resources.

Frontiers | Increased central auditory gain in 5xFAD Alzheimer’s disease mice as an early biomarker candidate for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosisAlzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative illness without a cure. All current therapies require an accurate diagnosis and staging of AD to ensure appropriate care. Central auditory processing disorders (CAPDs) and hearing loss have been associated with AD, and may precede the onset of Alzheimer’s dementia. Therefore, auditory dysfunction is a possible biomarker candidate for AD diagnosis. However, little is known about how auditory dysfunction and AD pathological changes are correlated. In the present study, we investigated the auditory dysfunctions in AD with transgenic amyloidosis mouse models. AD mouse models were bred on a CBA and C57BL/6 hybrid background, to compensate for the accelerated hearing loss on the C57BL/6background. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) recordings revealed significant hearing loss, a reduced ABR wave I amplitude, and increased central gain in 5xFAD mice. In comparison, these effects were milder or reversed in APP/PS1 mice. Longitudinal analyses revealed that in 5xFAD mice, central gain increase preceded ABR wave I amplitude reduction and hearing loss, suggesting that it may originate from lesions in the central nervous system rather than the peripheral loss. Analysis using publicly available datasets showed amyloid plaque deposited in the auditory cortical regions and upper auditory brainstem of 5xFAD mice, including the inferior colliculus (IC) and the medial geniculate body (MGB). This plaque distribution parallels histological findings from human subjects with AD. Pharmacologically facilitating cholinergic signaling with donepezil reversed the central hyperactivity in 5xFAD mice. After the central gain increased, aging 5xFAD mice developed deficits for hearing sound pips in the presence of noise, consistent with CAPD-like symptoms of AD patients. Overall, we conclude that auditory alterations in amyloidosis mouse models may correlate temporally with amyloid deposits in the auditory brainstem and may be reversed initially throug
