Nearly a decade ago, I declared, “Lifelogging is dead,” adding “For now.” Lifelogging is an unfashionable word. But its central idea — using computers as prosthetic memory to remember everything — is appealing. The idea is 80 years old. In a 1945 Atlantic article, Vannevar Bush proposed a memory machine called a Memex. Bush was an American engineer, inventor, and science administrator

One of the top enterprise IT complaints is that a serious lack of documentation — especially for legacy systems’ homegrown code — makes operations much more complex and riskier than they need be.  What’s rarely discussed are the reasons why there’s such a severe documentation shortage.

For being poised to become the richest startup in history, OpenAI’s architects seem strikingly ambivalent about its work. The company’s CEO is constantly afraid of the technology he’s unleashing on the world, a longstanding investor has been driven to what his peers say are signs of psychosis, and even its chairman is panicking about losing his

The meteoric rise of artificial intelligence has instilled an existential fear in “AI doomers,” a subset of people who believe the tech will cause humans to lose their jobs, fall prey to a dominating species of rogue superintelligent AIs, and even eventually get wiped out altogether. And, as The Atlantic reports, some are taking that pervasive

The richest man in the world can’t quit getting high on his own supply — and his most loyal fans are openly mocking him for it. Many AI boosters say the tech is poised to cure disease and usher humanity into a new age of prosperity. But billionaire and xAI CEO Elon Musk has shifted

The big three cloud providers tend to snap up the majority of hosting honours for containerised workflows. Google, AWS, and Microsoft are the de facto hosting providers, as you might expect, with Red Hat, Alibaba, and SUSE comprising the other household names in the microservices space.
