Christopher Payne spent years photographing the factories and maintenance facilities where New York City's subway cars and buses are built, repaired and stored. His images are now featured in a public exhibit across the city, showing riders spaces they normally never see.
A commentary piece examines how AI-powered workflows and tools can break or degrade whenever underlying models or features are updated, forcing teams to continually monitor and repair their systems. The author frames ongoing maintenance as an unavoidable part of the total cost of deploying AI, not a one-time setup expense.
An Entrepreneur contributor argues businesses should stop pressuring teams to work faster when downtime accumulates, since rushing raises safety risks and quality problems. Instead, the piece recommends categorizing downtime by cause—equipment failure, scheduling, materials, weather, staffing—and measuring its true cost in labor, rentals, overtime and missed deadlines rather than just counting idle hours.
Developer and author Alex Ewerlöf published an essay disputing the claim that 'coding is solved' by AI. He argues that while LLMs make code creation cheaper, they haven't addressed non-functional requirements like maintenance, reliability, security and scalability, which he says make up most of the real cost of production software. He also contends that even basic functional correctness remains unsolved by current AI coding tools.
Data center technicians spend their shifts walking miles of server rows, sniffing for burning smells, and checking equipment for damage—including from birds—as they keep facilities powering the AI build-out running smoothly. The work combines physical inspection routines with constant vigilance for small warning signs that could signal bigger equipment failures.
At the Fast Company Innovation Festival, Martha Stewart discussed her decision to invest in artificial intelligence as a tool for home upkeep. She's channeling decades of homemaking expertise into an app designed to guide homeowners through maintenance tasks using AI.
A tech reviewer compiled a list of 10 connected gadgets designed to improve backyard spaces, covering categories like entertainment, lawn maintenance, lighting and security. The recommendations span both novel devices and smart add-ons that make existing outdoor equipment more automated.
The creators of the original Dataflow Model paper—Tyler Akidau, Rafael Fernández-Moctezuma, Reuven Lax and Daniel Mills—revisited their influential streaming framework eleven years after publication, on the occasion of its VLDB Test of Time award. They conclude that its core ideas, such as prioritizing event time and abandoning the wait for complete data, held up well, but admit that windowing, triggers, and a stream-first worldview were overengineered or misguided compared to database-style approaches like SQL and materialized views.
