Before a healthcare robot can be useful in the real world, it has to learn how the physical world pushes back. Anatomy varies. Instruments bend, press, slip and interact with tissue. Imaging can be noisy or incomplete. And the rare, edge scenarios developers most need to understand don’t appear on schedule. That creates one of […]

Bristol Myers Squibb Building Life Science Industry’s Most Advanced AI Factory on NVIDIA Vera Rubin
NvidiaErin Davis calls it the “SuperDuperPOD.” That’s two things in one name: pharmaceutical giant Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) already runs one of the largest AI clusters in life sciences, with serious results to show for it. And they’re doubling down. BMS announced today it is deploying its second NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, this one built on […]

Power is AI infrastructure’s inescapable constraint. How many tokens an AI factory can generate within a fixed power budget determines its revenue and profitability. Because of this, performance per watt — a metric that can’t be gamed, only earned through real-world results — is the foundation for AI factories. As agentic AI drives token demand […]

NVIDIA BioNeMo Agent Toolkit Brings Accelerated AI to Life Sciences Researchers in Claude Science
NvidiaLife sciences has entered an era of computational scale, and for more than a decade, NVIDIA has built the full GPU-accelerated computing stack — spanning hardware, frameworks, libraries, models, microservices and domain-specific tools — to help researchers run more sophisticated workflows and iterate faster. This week, Anthropic announced Claude Science, an AI workbench for science […]
As organizations move from AI pilots to production AI factories, infrastructure decisions have shifted from peak chip specifications to cost per token: how many useful tokens they can deliver per dollar, per watt and within required latency targets. Codesigned with NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, networking and systems, and strengthened by a broad open source ecosystem, NVIDIA’s […]
I nearly always open Sublime Text from the command line using subl and have specific requirements for when it should open a new window or re-use one. If I'm opening a directory, then I would like it to re-use the same window if I have previously opened that directory. However if I open a random file, I never want that…

Enterprises are moving agentic AI from proof of concept to production — and the next generation of AI factories are built for the era of agents. At HPE Discover Las Vegas, running through Thursday, June 18, NVIDIA and HPE are expanding the HPE AI Factory with NVIDIA, including NVIDIA Vera CPU and NVIDIA Agent Toolkit […]
Every breakthrough AI model starts the same way: with a training run. The infrastructure running those training jobs shapes everything: how fast teams can iterate, what scale of model they can build and whether those jobs complete reliably. As models grow in size, complexity and intelligence, the demands on training infrastructure are also rising. In […]

The future of product craft: Why AI-native PMs build better products, not just work faster
Inside AtlassianAI use is accelerating across the modern enterprise. Teams are moving faster. The barrier to building will continue to drop. But the cost of building the wrong thing is about to skyrocket, because teams can now ship more of it, faster. Atlassian’s State of Teams 2026 report found that 89% of executives say AI has […] The post The future…

Detroit has always been a city of systems. Long before people talked about “platforms” or “digital transformation,” Detroit was solving a harder problem: how to coordinate thousands of moving parts with precision. Assembly lines, supplier networks, logistics routes—these weren’t just operations. They were carefully designed systems, built to be reliable under pressure. If one part […] The post Software Is…

Autonomous agents mark a new inflection point in AI. Systems are no longer limited to generating responses or reasoning through tasks. They can take action: Agents can read files, use tools, write and run code, and execute workflows across enterprise systems, all while expanding their own capabilities. The sub-agents they create become specialized — experts […]

Back in 2016, I wrote about using QuickGrab to take a screenshot of the active window via a single key press with no mouse use required. It's now 2025 and I'm still using this and Apple has announced that Rosetta 2 will be phased out in a couple of years. As QuickGrab is one of the few Intel-only apps I…

On one of my servers here, I run a local Perforce P4 server for my son. He's a game developer and as they use P4 at work, he wanted to learn it in a sandbox and to have somewhere familiar to put his own work. Installation onto Ubuntu was easy enough and I provided access outside of our local network…

We recently changed ISP to Aquiss who could not have been more helpful with pre-sales and support for the change over from BT Internet. Aquiss do not provide a router, so I removed the BT Smart Hub and put in a Ubiquity UCG-Max and connected it up to my existing AC Pro Ubiquiti access points. Obviously as it was a…

I recently acquired an Elgato Prompter which acts as an additional screen on my Mac. It does this using DisplayLink and the DisplayLink Manager app needs to be running. A new security feature of the newer macOS versions is that when your screen is being recorded, an icon is displayed in your menu bar. It looks like this and cannot…

It's common to use a UUID when you need a primary key for your database records. Unlike incrementing numeric keys, it has the advantage that it's not tied to a specific database instance and can be created before insertion into the database. Usually, people use version 4 UUIDs, which contains a lot of randomness to ensure that it's going to…

When creating my Year in Pictures post I decided that I wanted a montage of all the photos I had taken. In previous years, I've done this by taking a screenshot in an application where I try to set the zoom level correctly to get something acceptable. This time, I decided to do it properly and guessed that ImageMagick could…

For some automation that I"m writing, I need to get the Bundle ID for some Mac applications. The easiest way to do this is with AppleScript: osascript -e 'id of app "{Application Name}"' This can easily be turned into a bash script such as `bundle-id-of` like this: #!/usr/bin/env bash osascript -e 'id of app "'"$1"'"' And we can now obtain…

I'm a huge fan of ExifTool for manipulating EXIF data in images as it really is the Swiss Army knife for all things metadata related with images. Recently, I wanted to strip some privacy-related metadata from some photos; specifically location, people and keywords. That is, I wanted to keep the title, the camera settings, the creator, and so on, but…
