You undoubtedly saw the impressive news back in December 2022 that using what is called “inertial confinement”, scientists and engineering teams at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) achieved fusion “success” by producing more energy than the energy delivered by its 192 lasers converging on a target. The project and […]

The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation to support electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous driving, high-end infotainment systems, vehicle connectivity, and software-defined vehicles. The goals and benefits of EV transformation and its impact on the automotive supply chain are well understood by now. However, the digital transformation toward autonomous driving and high-performance computing (HPC) is

Machine learning (ML), a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), has become integral to our lives. It allows us to learn and reason from data using techniques such as deep neural network algorithms. Machine learning enables data-intensive tasks such as image classification and language modeling, from which many new applications emerge. There are two phases in

Windows 10 isn’t scheduled to “sunset” for another two years (and a month, since I’m writing this in early September), but I’m already executing on a hardware replacement plan for my Microsoft Surface Pro 5, which isn’t sanctioned to survive the operating system transition to the Windows 11 successor. I could try hacking my way around the newer O/S’s TPM 2.0 (the planned focus of another
