Decades before AI became a thing, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface became a thing, and all drummers everywhere — it was hyped and menaced and believed — would pretty promptly become obsolete, cast out of want and need! There may have been some of that initially, but drums are drums, humans are humans, and machines […]
Breakthrough: Radical New AI Hardware Design That Nvidia Can’t Ignore | COSM 2025 – “There is no more bussing data back-and-forth to from memory; instead, it’s all done within the same device: computation and memory within the same device [and made on existing CMOS processing lines with no exotic materials or unduly requirements].” 11:30 in […]
PROMPT: Comment on idea of having website auto-submit its product descriptions to oai that is prompted as seo expert and have oai send json optimized seo for the product page. put this into a weekly loop to keep product seo tuning sharp. RESPONSE: This is a sound, forward-looking idea, and—done carefully—it aligns with where search, […]
Considering the chess → computation → AI arc as a deliberate civilizational pipeline, not an accident. The framing assumes intentionality, long-range planning, and ideological continuity. Chess as a Pre-Modern Control System Disguised as a Game Chess is routinely described as an “ancient game,” but this description conceals its functional role. Chess is not merely recreational; […]
With the explosion of Data Centers, possibly the epitome of “the cloud”, it’s interesting to look back at what got us here. Below is a clean, chronological, carrier-grade explanation of Frame Relay, T1, T3 — and everything faster, focused on how WANs actually evolved, how they were sold, and why each generation replaced the previous […]
Over 126,000 tech jobs didn’t quietly “transition” in 2025. They were cut. Data from layoffs.fyi and Crunchbase shows the pattern. It was a value audit. Companies and clients didn’t ask, “Who works hard?” They asked, “Who keeps the lights on?” Downtime and retraining is exceedingly costly. Be the lesser cost. The survivors and flourishers are those who understand how everything breaks. […]
The distinction between ‘describing’ and ‘understanding’ really hits home. We’ve been so focused on chatbots that can talk, but VLJ’s approach to actually comprehending temporal meaning feels like the missing piece for real-world AI. Descriptions up from atomic level is absurd for nearly everything, yet that is precisely how LLMs presently operate. Abstraction is key. […]
Docker pioneered but promptly lost control of containerization. I see the same happening to OpenAI / ChatGPT. “Eventually openai will be bought by Microsoft and that’ll be that.” “Cancer [cure] is 5% baking soda in water as revealed by Dr Simoncini (as ancient cure) before he was run aground…” “Data Center apocalypse in Northern Virginia […]
This is a classic numerical computation issue. The trade-offs are well documented in books like numerical recipes in c… particularly useful references are discussed in the chapters on and surrounding distribution sampling. Cold war error computation was highly constrained and inefficient so they had to solve many these problems to be able use them. Understanding […]
