Facepalm: In the latest example of why we shouldn't blindly put our faith in online map services, German autobahns and highways were plunged into chaos when Google Maps incorrectly showed that vast sections of the roads were closed. The incident's timing was especially bad as it coincided with the start of a holiday break. German motorists likely felt disheartened at the sight of all the stop signs on Google Maps on Thursday.

It looks like the "learn to code" push is backfiring spectacularly for those who bought in. As Newsweek reports, recent college graduates who majored in computer science are facing high unemployment rates alongside the increasing probability of being laid off or replaced by artificial intelligence if and when they do get hired. In its latest labor market report, the New York Federal Reserve found that recent CS grads are dealing with a whopping 6.1 precent unemployment rate. Those who majored

A year ago, Redis Inc (formerly Garantia Data) made a controversial move that disrupted the open source ecosystem: it closed the source of Redis. As I wrote at the time, it was a trust-breaking decision that could have shattered the community. But instead of splintering, the community responded with purpose. Out of that disruption came Valkey, a fork that took a shot at keeping the community alive. A Return, A Reversal As part of efforts to rebuild trust with the community, Redis Inc brought

Chaos ensued on German roads this week after Google Maps wrongly informed drivers that highways throughout the country were closed during a busy holiday. Many of the apparently closed roads were located near large German cities and metropolitan areas, including Berlin, Düsseldorf and Dortmund. As reported by a locally based journalist for The Guardian , drivers opening Google’s navigation app would see a swarm of red dots used to indicate no-go areas, which resulted in people looking for altern

Christopher Furlong/Getty Once upon a time, Silicon Valley's move-fast-and-break-things culture welcomed college grads with open arms. Tech companies enthusiastically hired younger and less experienced talent, driven by an enthusiasm for fresh ideas and a financial climate that pointed to sunny days ahead. All of that suddenly and dramatically changed with the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, the unfettered hiring mindset across tech has been replaced by a sense of caution and a prioritization of ex

Not everyone is able to write funky fused operators to make ML models run faster on GPUs using clever quantisation tricks. However lots of developers work with algorithms that feel like they should be able to leverage the thousands of cores in a GPU to run faster than using the dozens of cores on a server CPU.

As a historian of exchange, I am conscious that goods that travel long-distances, are shiny or unusual get all the glory: a lot of history is mundane, low-key and local.
