The agentic AI moment has arrived, but delivering on its promise requires more than good models. It also takes fast hardware, secure runtimes, a responsive data layer and models tuned for long-running reasoning. NVIDIA and Microsoft are bringing that full stack to developers across Windows devices, Azure cloud and local deployments. At Microsoft Build, NVIDIA […]

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…

Artificial intelligence has rapidly emerged as one of the most critical workloads in modern computing. For the vast majority of enterprises, this workload runs on Kubernetes, an open source platform that automates the deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. To help the global developer community manage high-performance AI infrastructure with greater transparency and efficiency, […]

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 […]

Governments everywhere are racing to harness the power of AI — but legacy infrastructure isn’t built for the velocity, complexity or trust that mission-critical action now demands. Massive data streams, cyber threats and urgent operations require a new blueprint for creating AI factories purpose-built for the public sector’s unique standards and scale. At NVIDIA GTC […]

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…
