Air traffic control staffing at U.S. airports is near a 30-year low, and billionaire oligarch Elon Musk has been doing his best to make sure it stays that way with the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. But Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has an idea to fix it. Duffy thinks air traffic controllers shouldn’t retire at 56 as they’re now required to do for safety and national security reasons. In fact, Duffy seems to think allowing air traffic controllers to work into old age would

The Wikimedia Foundation, the umbrella organization of Wikipedia and a dozen or so other crowdsourced knowledge projects, said on Wednesday that bandwidth consumption for multimedia downloads from Wikimedia Commons has surged by 50% since January 2024. The reason, the outfit wrote in a blog post Tuesday, isn’t due to growing demand from knowledge-thirsty humans, but from automated, data-hungry scrapers looking to train AI models. “Our infrastructure is built to sustain sudden traffic spikes fr

No, the spike in usage came from AI crawlers, or automated programs scraping Wikimedia's openly licensed images, videos, articles and other files to train generative arti

Eco Cycles or How I Feel About Technology Umberto Eco, the author of The Name of the Rose and Foucault’s Pendulum (my personal favorite), wasn’t just a brilliant scholar—he was also a bit of a geek. He once wrote an essay comparing Macs to Catholicism and PCs to Protestantism. He thought about technology a lot. And he loved his fax machine.

It was a long and winding road (as I detailed here last summer), but Governor Hochul finally made the right decision and allowed the policy to go into effect (albeit at a $9 price point vs. the initial $15). While I was a bit concerned at first that this lower price would reduce the effectiveness of the congestion relief zone, it has still been a resounding success over the past two months. Despite this, Trump has issued
