Just in case you were wondering, Nvidia's RTX Spark isn't supposed to be a one-off. The company is not just flirting with becoming the fifth high-profile vendor of consumer laptop chips to see if people bite. At Computex 2026 in Taipei, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed at least two additional generations of RTX Spark are […]

xAI is under investigation in the EU, UK and California because of its freewheeling AI image generator.

Some people rarely lose things. Wallets are always exactly where they’re supposed to be, keys never go missing, and remotes never slip between the couch cushions. And then there’s the rest of us — the folks who can’t ever seem to find the thing that was right there a few seconds ago. For us, Bluetooth […]

Activists say it’s the first time Big Tech employees have publicly called for regulations governing data center projects.

Plex is increaingly focusing on content discovery and streaming rentals.

New proposals will see the EU further invest in European startups and companies as it looks to strengthen its homegrown tech footprint.

The recently-incarcerated former congressman George Santos allegedly placed bets on himself, then acted to ensure he won.

Amazon's updated search bar will now show you AI-generated images of products as you describe them. For now, the in-app feature only surfaces AI images of clothing and home goods, allowing you to tap on the image that best matches what you're looking for and search for similar-looking items. In a blog post, Amazon positions […]

A few months ago, Meta effectively handed Supernatural, a popular VR fitness game on the Meta Quest, a death sentence. As part of overarching VR layoffs, the company announced the game would no longer get any new content, enraging its tightly knit, devoted community. Now it looks like Supernatural is getting a second chance. Today, […]

CAP Theorem Explained: Choosing Between Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance in Databases Imagine you're trying to book a flight online, and just as you're about to pay, the website crashes. When you try to book again, you find that the flight is now sold out, even though the website initially showed available seats. This frustrating experience is a classic example of a database trade-off between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. The CAP theorem, first introduced by Eric Brewer in 2000, states that it's impossible for a distributed data store to simultaneously guarantee more than two out of these three principles. In this post, we'll delve into the world of CAP theorem, exploring its fundamentals, real-world database examples, and design implications. Introduction to CAP Theorem Understanding the Basics of CAP Theorem The CAP theorem is based on three primary principles: Consistency : Every read operation will see the most recent write or an error. Availability : Every request receives a response, without guarantee that it contains the most recent version of the information. Partition Tolerance : The system continues to function and make progress even when network partitions (i.e., splits or failures) occur. Importance of CAP Theorem in Distributed Systems In distributed systems, where data is spread across multiple nodes, the CAP theorem plays a crucial role in understanding the trade-offs between these principles. By grasping the CAP theorem, developers can design more resilient and scalable databases that meet the specific needs of their applications. Brief Overview of the Blog Post This post will explore the CAP theorem in depth, using real-world database examples to illustrate the trade-offs between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. We'll discuss the fundamentals of CAP theorem, examine CA, CP, and AP systems, and provide guidance on designing for each combination. By the end of this post, you'll have a solid un

In the face of widespread backlash to the AI data center buildout throughout the US, Google is touting its efforts to minimize the environmental impact by actually increasing water for local communities. The company laid out five commitments around water use in a new blog post published Wednesday, including a goal to replenish more water […]

One hardware announcement and several software highlights from Microsoft Build.

Em 2023, eu arrumei as malas e saí de Recife, minha terra natal, para morar no interior do Mato Grosso. O motivo? Cursar Ciência da Computação. Eu sabia que enfrentaria um choque cultural, o calor do Centro-Oeste e a saudade de casa. O que eu não imaginei é que o maior desafio seria a sensação constante de que eu era uma fraude no meio da minha própria sala de aula. Se você estuda ou trabalha com tecnologia, provavelmente já passou por isso. Você senta na primeira semana de aula e parece que metade da turma já programa desde os 12 anos, fala termos técnicos que parecem outra língua e discute sobre ferramentas que você nem sabia que existiam. Hoje, na reta final da graduação, focando meus estudos em Back-end e Dados, quebrando a cabeça com Go, Python e SQL, eu olho para trás e vejo o quanto essa cobrança silenciosa quase me paralisou. Se você está sentindo que entrou no curso errado ou que todo mundo corre a 100 km/h enquanto você ainda está engatinhando, pega um café e vem ler este papo reto sobre como lidar com a tal da Síndrome do Impostor. O "efeito vitrine" e a falsa ilusão de que somos os únicos perdidos Na faculdade de TI, a comparação é quase inevitável. A gente abre o LinkedIn e vê o colega conseguindo estágio internacional; abre o GitHub e vê códigos impecáveis; na sala de aula, sempre tem quem responda às perguntas do professor antes mesmo dele terminar de falar. O erro está em achar que o ritmo do outro deve ditar o seu. Na Computação, as pessoas vêm de bagagens completamente diferentes. Quem já sabia programar antes da faculdade pode ter facilidade em Lógica de Programação, mas talvez sofra tanto quanto você quando chegar a hora de aprender Álgebra Linear ou Teoria da Computação. Sentir-se perdida não significa incompetência; significa apenas que você está no processo de aprender algo complexo. E adivinha? Todo mundo ali está tentando descobrir como as coisas funcionam, mesmo quem finge que sabe tudo. O que me ajudou a virar a chave Eu não acordei um dia

Microsoft missed the boat on apps, so get ready for agents.

Microsoft just kicked off Build 2026 with a keynote from CEO Satya Nadella and other company leaders. As expected, it was filled with announcements, ranging from new Surface hardware to an always-on personal assistant and updates across Microsoft's in-house AI models. If you didn't watch the event live, you can catch up on all the […]

Microsoft claimed last year that it had made a key breakthrough in quantum computing with Majorana 1, the company's first quantum processor. While physicists were immediately skeptical of Microsoft's claims, the software giant is announcing Majorana 2 today, the next generation of its topological quantum chip. Majorana 2 contains qubits, a unit of information in […]

Microsoft announced a bunch of new in-house AI models at Build 2026, including a new "flagship" model: MAI-Thinking-1. It's an ambitious step into model development for Microsoft, which introduced its initial in-house models last year - before then, it had relied on OpenAI's models. The two companies recently renegotiated their deal to loosen ties. According […]
