And now, another one is emerging — slowly, almost cautiously — as AI systems scale from experimental to operational: precomputing. At first glance the word sounds almost mundane, like a … [Read more...] about PreComputing.com: A Forward-Looking Domain for the Next Phase of AI Infrastructure
The Zoom Divide Nobody Saw Coming
Sometimes it feels like the smartphone industry quietly shifted the battleground from megapixels and processors to something much more interesting: telephoto reach.

Telecom executives talked about it with the same excitement we now reserve for 5G or satellite constellations. It promised fast, affordable, wide-area connectivity without the need for expensive wired deployments, and for a brief … [Read more...] about Whatever Happened to WiMAX? The Rise, Fall, and Quiet Afterlife of a Former Wireless Contender
