I’ve just been introduced to a solution to a computer memory problem I didn’t even know existed. To be honest, I think I was happier not knowing there was a problem in the first place (“Ignorance is bliss,” as the ancient Latin writer, Publilius Syrus sagely suggested).

These days, I pity the folks in charge of data centers … Read More → "AI-Based Cybersecurity for Next-Generation Data Center Servers"
