“Networking is going through actually a bigger change than people realize, because of many factors..” Anil Varanasi, Meter co-founder and CEO, told @networkworld.bsky.social . www.networkworld.com/article/4093...

Context engineering is all fine and nice. But semantics and ontologies take AI to another level. Microsoft is now..igniting (sorry i couldn't resist) this approach with Fabric IQ. @venturebeat.com venturebeat.com/data-infrast...

Microsoft keeps pushing more and more AI into Windows. But is that what its users want, or is that what Microsoft thinks they want? zdnet.com/article/micr... via @zdnet.bsky.social

I personally have a love/hate relationship with SQL - but most AI devs don't want any such thing..they just want to use Python. That's where dltHub comes in as the lead backer behind the open-source dlt library. venturebeat.com/data-infrast...

I've had the good fortune to connect with David Belson on internet topics a bunch over the years. At Cloudflare he's now been working on some new insights on Top Level Domains and there are more than few surprises in the findings... www.networkworld.com/article/4081...

I've been a believer in streaming data for a long time...but so much of the AI-data conversation has been about static data. That's now changing and real-time data streaming that bakes in Apache Kafka and Apache Flink from Confluent is bringing the context. venturebeat.com/data-infrast...

AI is supposed to give humans less work and make things easier...right? Maybe not according to some new research from Snowflake that 77% say their data engineering teams' workloads are getting heavier, not lighter. venturebeat.com/data-infrast...

Usually each new Wi-Fi spec offers the promise of more speed..but speed isn't the only thing that users need. Wi-Fi 8 could be the most important networking spec in a generation. @networkworld.bsky.social www.networkworld.com/article/4073...

One of the big missing links in the AI ecosystem has been the availability of a large high-quality open-source multimodal dataset. That changes today with the debut of the EMM-1 dataset venturebeat.com/data-infrast...

Enterprises expanding AI deployments are hitting an invisible performance wall. The culprit? Static speculators that can't keep up with shifting workloads. The answer would be a new type of self-adaptive system. venturebeat.com/ai/together-...
