Since my first computer in 1983, a TRS80 Model III, I've been educating others on the promises of computing.
Last Thursday, I embarked on an over 1,100-mile road trip with the latest version of Tesla’s Self-Driving software. My mission was to travel 161 miles from Raleigh, North Carolina, to Richmond, Virginia, on Thursday. I planned to stay the night in Richmond with my daughter, then, early the next morning, we’d set out together for … Continue reading Tesla “Full Self-Driving” – Finally Usable
Last week, I posted in “Quantum Teleportation & Financial Trading” that the effect, which Einstein called “Spooky Action at a Distance,” might lead to faster-than-light communication of data. The subtle part I missed is that while the distant entangled particle mirrors the quantum state, the state itself can not be utilized without context. As you … Continue reading If it Sounds to Good to be…
The straight line distance between New York City and Chicago is 1,146 km (712 miles). Data through a standard fiber-optic cable travels at 200,000 km/sec. A fiber-optic cable strung in a straight line between these two cities should have an expected round-trip latency of about 11.5 milliseconds. Given the distance, there also needs to be … Continue reading Quantum Teleportation & Financial Trading
At the end of March 2025, Achronix scaled back its business to focus on Artificial Intelligence, and with that, they released me and several outstanding network-centric FPGA developers. If you are looking for world-class FPGA talent, please let me know, and I’ll connect you with some very fine people. As for me, I’m available to … Continue reading Available to Consult on SmartNICs and DPUs
For the last two decades, November has meant my annual pilgrimage to Super Computing (SC). My first SC was in 2004 with NEC as their US product manager for their Intel Itanium Windows Super Computer. We were also featuring our next-generation SX-8 Vector Super. At that time, I was new to Vector processors, but I … Continue reading QPUs, the Fusion of Art, Design & Technology
When I get together with friends, once in a while, questions about AI come up, and invariably, they steer the discussion towards a reference to Skynet. For those not plugged into the zeitgeist, Skynet is the AI in “The Terminator” that is out to exterminate humanity. Now, as a chess player, I’ll also acknowledge that … Continue reading A 120 KW Cabinet and The Future of Power Demand
If nine reasons weren’t enough, here are five more that I forgot about in my prior post. Again, I have no financial interest in Tesla at the time of this posting. So this brings us to 15 reasons why Tesla is far more than a car company. It may be the next Apple, only time … Continue reading 6 More Reasons Tesla is Far More Than a Car Company
If you’ve bought or watched Tesla’s stock over the past few years, it’s been a real roller coaster from under $20 to nearly $400 and today around $170, but all the while, they’ve kept innovating. Tesla is more than just a car company; it is positioning itself to become a global energy provider. To be … Continue reading 9 Reasons Tesla is Far More Than a Car Company
Last year, the US Congress held hearings on TikTok and debated the security of the platform, the data it collected, and what it may be sending back to China. This past month, we learned Temu, a shopping app owned by Pinduoduo, China’s second most popular online shopping site, is very sophisticated spyware. This shopping application … Continue reading The Huge Security Threat Posed by China EVs
I vividly remember walking, then sprinting back from the mailbox after I’d torn open the envelope addressed to me from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. It contained my NY State Drivers License, printed on thin blue cardboard. After seeing that little blue slip, I bolted the rest of the way up the … Continue reading Freedom, Dignity & Self-Driving Cars
