At Amazon's biggest data center, everything is supersized for AI

The ‘Murderbot’ Finale Was Note-Perfect

Murderbot wrapped up its season today, bringing the Apple TV+ adaptation of Martha Wells’ first Murderbot Diaries story, All Systems Red, to a close.

Helios wants to be the AI operating system for public policy professionals

But three years later, astronomers found that the collision had some unintended consequences. As detailed in a paper published last week in the Planetary Science Journa
