When the automobile was first invented, many looked like—and were indeed called—horseless carriages. Early websites for newspapers were laid out just like the paper versions. They still are to some extent. Our computers have “desktops” and “files”—just like an office from the 1950s. It is even said that the width of our railroad tracks is a

PyPy, an alternative runtime for Python, uses a specially created JIT compiler to yield potentially massive speedups over CPython, the conventional Python runtime. But PyPy’s exemplary performance has often come at the cost of compatibility with the rest of the Python ecosystem, particularly C extensions. And while those issues are improving, the PyPy runtime itself

Teradata has expanded the agent-building capabilities it launched last year into a full-blown toolkit, which it says will help enterprises address the challenge of moving AI agents beyond pilots into production-grade deployments. Branded as Enterprise AgentStack, the expanded toolkit layers AgentEngine and AgentOps onto Teradata’s existing Agent Builder, which includes a user interface for building

For companies looking to upgrade PCs this year, gear up: laptops will be more costly and configurations slower, analysts said. PC makers “are already signaling price increases across the board and likely memory spec downgrades, especially in entry-level devices,” said Rishi Padhi, principal analyst at Gartner. Low-cost laptops offering decent performance won’t come anytime soon,

Alibaba Cloud’s latest AI model, Qwen3-Max-Thinking, is staking a claim as one of the world’s most advanced reasoning engines after posting benchmark results that delivered competitive results against leading models from Google and OpenAI. In a blog post, Alibaba said the model was trained using expanded capacity and large-scale computing resources, including reinforcement learning, which

US enterprises are experiencing a fundamental reversal in global technology talent flows as restrictive H-1B visa policies and India’s rapidly maturing tech ecosystem combine to redirect skilled professionals away from US careers, threatening American competitiveness while accelerating India’s emergence as a global innovation hub. Workforce data from LinkedIn’s Labor Market Report released this month showed India’s hiring

IT admins and CIOs should be aware that 2026 is effectively the final year of support for Intel-based Macs. Apple told us so at WWDC last year when it said, “macOS 26 (Tahoe) will be the final release for Intel Macs.”  That means macOS 27 won’t support Intel chips. When Apple announced its plans, they might have
