  2. #Microsoft, #Nvidia claim #AI speeds approval of #nuclear plants
    MS Pres #BradSmith said AI collaboration covers "the full lifecycle from permitting and design to construction and operations."
    Nuclear has long held promise as a stable source of carbon-free power, aim of this initiative is to bring more of it online sooner.
    Of course, Trump admin is seeking to solve this in a different way: by gutting the safety rules & skipping full environmental reviews for new reactors.

  5. Weekly output: Android + Chrome OS, Qualcomm’s AI vision, Microsoft cancels some IDF Unit 8200 services

    This week’s trip to Hawaii and back for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit–with that company paying my airfare and lodging for its invitation-only event–reminded me once again of the vast size of the United States. And yet I was able to wake up painfully early Friday morning on Maui, take a flight to San Francisco, board a second flight from SFO to Dulles, and land at IAD in time to catch the night’s last eastbound Silver Line train from the airport.

    9/25/2025: Google Teases Its Android PC Project Again. Qualcomm Says ‘It’s Incredible’, PCMag

    I wrote an update to this post by PCMag’s U.K.-based correspondent James Peckham after seeing a Google executive share a few more details about this upcoming rebuild of ChromeOS on an Android foundation in Wednesday’s keynote.

    9/25/2025: Qualcomm’s CEO Touts a Future Where AI (and Cameras) Are Everywhere, PCMag

    It wasn’t until I was an hour into writing up Tuesday afternoon’s keynote early Wednesday morning that I realized how Qualcomm’s vision of AI acting upon the inputs of always-on cameras in smart glasses and cars unintentionally echoed the “always-on camera” branding it had briefly and unwisely picked for a human-presence detection system in smartphones almost four years earlier.

    9/27/2025: What’s behind Microsoft’s canceling of some services to Israel’s military?, Al Jazeera

    I didn’t get to sleep in Saturday morning after coming home around 2 a.m. Instead, Al Jazeera asked me to join this discussion recorded then about Microsoft canceling some cloud services for the Israeli Defense Forces after reporting by the Guardian and the Israel-based news outlets +972 Magazine and Local Call documented how the IDF’s Unit 8200 had employed those services to conduct a pervasive and invasive surveillance campaign against Palestinians. My fellow panelists: Taghreed El-Khodary, a Palestinian journalist now based in the Netherlands, and Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch. One of my contributions was reminding viewers of Microsoft president Brad Smith’s words at Web Summit 2018: “The tools that we’ve created, the tools often times that you’ve created, have been turned by others into weapons.”

  15. Tuesday, I’ll flee D.C.’s 90-something temperatures for the 100-something temperatures of Las Vegas–but as I’ve realized over previous trips to that desert city for the Black Hat information-security conference, it really is a dry heat.

    In addition to the posts below, my Patreon readers got a recap of a very long day of travel on Thursday of the previous week that saw me returning home about 21 hours after I’d stepped off of the front porch that morning.

    7/30/2024: These Are the Services Seeing the Biggest Uptick in Passkey Adoption, PCMag

    What I thought would be an easy writeup of an embargoed copy of a Dashlane study about passkey adoption among users of that password manager wound up enlightening me about Facebook’s support of that authentication standard. And once again, I found Facebook’s documentation out of date and incorrect.

    7/31/2024: Here’s How Microsoft Wants to Shield You From Abusive AI–With Help From Congress, PCMag

    I had ambitions of attending this downtown-D.C. event Tuesday afternoon featuring Microsoft’s vice chair and president Brad Smith, but my schedule ran away from me and I watched the proceedings online. And then I didn’t finish writing this piece until Wednesday morning, although that at least let me nod to news that day of the impending introduction of a new bill targeting AI impersonations of people.

    8/2/2024: Circuit Court Throws a Stop Sign in Front of FCC’s Net-Neutrality Rules, PCMag

    Reading this unanimous opinion from three judges–one named by Clinton, another a Biden appointee–that the Federal Communications Commission didn’t have the authority to put broadband providers into one of two possible regulatory buckets left me feeling like I’d been taking crazy pills over the last 20 years of the net-neutrality debate, during which the FCC has repeatedly done just that.

    8/3/2024: Justice Department Sues TikTok, Alleging Massive Child-Privacy Violations, PCMag

    I woke up Saturday thinking that somebody at PCMag was already covering the DOJ lawsuit against TikTok, but nobody had grabbed that story. So I set aside part of that morning to read the DOJ’s complaint, get a comment out of a TikTok publicist and write this post summarizing the department’s allegations.
