Better building blocks for the cloud: storage infrastructure rebuilt for modern SSDs, fast networks, and AI-era workloads.
This is also addressed to @lojikil towards whom I have threatened to write this post on multiple occasions. It is expected to piss off loper-os. Above all, it represents my opinions backed up only by a cursory research…
Forums, instant messaging, and multiplayer video games all started here.
<p>What is the metaphor for the computer of the future? The intelligent agent? The television (multimedia)? The 3-D graphics world (virtual reality)? The Star Trek ubiquitous voice computer? The GUI desktop, honed and refined? The machine that magically grants our wishes? The right answer is "none of the above," because all of these concepts share a basic flaw—they make the computer visible.</p>
I work as a data architect in San Francisco & Dr. Jones mentioned you might be able to help me before I get too deep into the design of a new system. My default database choice is to just use Postgres. I have questions…
An unholy alliance is working toward an apocalyptic future from which only a chosen few will emerge unscathed. It’s becoming clear how we stop them
Acquisition brings leading AI model research expertise to AMD, helping to shape future AI infrastructure and strengthen the open AI ecosystem.
Stephen Wolfram chimes in about the future of pure math and AI based on his unique perspective of language creator and scientific researcher.
In this time of uncertainty and anxiety about artificial intelligence (AI) in mathematics, it is more important than ever to reflect on how we can prepare the next generation of professional research mathematicians for…
In 1865, English economist William Jevons noticed something worrying. As steam engines increasingly became more efficient, Britain increasingly burned more coa…

In Brent Katz’s short documentary “Josh’s Wedding,” a group of groomsmen reckon with a technology that one of them is building.
Code is the purest way to express complexity. We used it to describe engineering systems at Jimmy. Now I'm taking the idea further with AI agents and a drone.
The jobs of the far future may not be ones we can’t conceive of yet, but instead ones from the past that keep us capable of operating independently of AI. As recent geopolitical events can attest to, there is a risk in…
The future is invented by people no smarter than you or me.

The Intercept and 404 Media discuss the government’s growing use of private contractors, from Flock to Claude, to surveil and kill abroad and at home.
Zhao Levi’s journey from an “Anti-AI Manifesto” to a proposed DSA working group opens a larger question: Can workers govern the machines that may one day make wage labor optional?

War and planetary take-over by the deep-state/military industrial/AI/transhumanist bots, borgs and humans, projected by 2025 and being implemented now on the...
If AI is a foundational general-purpose technology, we should anticipate that demand for AI compute -- and energy -- will continue to grow. The Sun is by far the largest energy source in our solar system, and thus it…
