Optical inference could (potentially) be a real solution for the power,cooling and density issue that AI data centers face. But first it has got pass a critical test.
“GPUs are silicon chips that use transistors to perform the matrix multiplications at the heart of AI inference,” Phillip Burr at Lumai explained to me. “Optical compute uses the properties of light to perform the same matrix multiplications, completing millions of operations in a single optical cycle.”

Solid $$ from @TechTargetNews in a challenging and rapidly changing environment.
Nice to see sequential revenue growth.. though year-over-year is down.

I see reasons for cautious optimism in @Broadcom’s latest @VMware moves:
A smaller way to stay, and a stronger private-cloud proposition. The test is value customers actually use, and terms they can trust.
VMware has to earn its next renewal. Too many CIOs now have credible exit plans.

I get some nice quotes about Oracle’s latest OCI moves with AI. Thanks @TechJournalist!

Finally. Electron is easy for devs but yeah the Discord app was always a 🤮
Discord is ditching Electron and its new app uses less RAM 🙏 Discord is moving its apps fully over to the Rust programming language. Details 👇 theverge.com/news/1027379/d…

We published the exact filter @DoxxnetHQ runs against CVE-2026-98432, with the nftables rules and the RFC behind each one. If you run an ISP, a host, a VPN or a mesh, you're one function away from making this exploit undeliverable to every Linux box behind you.

I have seen some vendor call this the context too (even though it’s really not), others call it a data plane. Oh and then there are the - Everything is retrieval (RAG Forever!) folks.
is org/agent level memory just "skills"? assuming there is process for updating skills from agent traces/history
why or why not?

A lot of content engineering challenges have pretty standard solutions, which has lead to some engineers saying agent engineering is solved/boring
True to some extent, but there are a bunch of (fun) new ones emerging as agents evolve! x.com/i/article/2116…

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he hiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

I don't think we should fight. The two companies are complementary. Since you're not doing this AI stuff, I really think Snowflake should consider getting its AI tokens through Databricks. You can get both cheap OSS models as well as frontier (OAI/Ant/Gemini/Grok) models from our platform. It all goes through Unity Gateway which has Smart Routing, Budgets, and Access Control. You can even use Omnigent with any harness, including CoCo. Most of our customers used this to reduce token spend ~30% last few months while token count went up. Genie lets you then track, control, manage that spend, all your financials, marketing, etc. Quick POC?
