On the Tech Field Day Podcast, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Alastair Cooke & Stephen Foskett to unpack the major drivers shaping technology moving through 2026 and into 2027. buff.ly/pjW5Zof @Stephen.Fosketts.net @NetworkingNerd.net @DemitasseNZ.bsky.social #TFDPodcast #Anthropic #AISafety
People are asking about #SovereignAI more, adjacent to #OpenSource and #OpenWeights for #GenAI models. I joined demitassenz.bsky.social and @cncf.io @jbryce.bsky.social to explore this thought provoking topic. #ICYMI link below @techfielddaypod.bsky.social #Podcast www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0m4...

Couldn't make it to #VCFwest this weekend, but I found the #VCF livestream from yesterday. I'm a local, 15 mins away. I should have gone! Maybe NeXT time I'll exhibit with my #NeXT Workstations. 🤓 Have a great Day 2 all the folks attending today! www.youtube.com/live/Zt5qnSK...
And #MactoberfestMeetup2026 is happening, so while not quite #VCFWest, there will be some awesome #Mac and #Apple2 friends in attendance. www.mactoberfestmeetup.org
Calling all #SFBayArea Vintage #Mac and Apple II fans unite. If you missed #VCFWest or would like to nerd out with fellow Mac and Apple folks, I'm excited to share that #MactoberfestMeetup is back. My friend Steve held the first Mactoberfest back in 2023 and it was a hit. www.mactoberfestmeetup.org
#Scality gave us their take on what it means to be a #DataStorage player for #GenAI deployments. As a delegate for AI Infrastructure Field Day 5, I had the opportunity to get into details and get their perspective. www.linkedin.com/pulse/sea-da... ⬆️ You may need to login to LinkedIn ⬆️ (1/4)
Also here, you know, if you are LinkedIn challenged... 😅 towheetech.substack.com/p/data-genai...

Good morning #BayArea folks, today is the day in #SanMateoCounty for the 22nd Annual Disaster Preparedness Day. It's become a household favorite! Particularly fun for the kids, and very informational. If you've got a question about staying safe, these are your people! www.smcgov.org/dem/2026-san...

Ignore the "robots" part of this, it's bullshit. What they're really intent on banning is cheap power inverters, the crucial component necessary to store and use solar energy from a battery. This is a giveaway to the oil industry, plain and simple.

The only surprising thing about this development is that it took Meta this long--it's been obvious that clean energy is not a priority there since Zuckerberg started gassing on last year about all the giant data centers he's going to build without mentioning what would power them.

For more than a decade, there's been something fishy going on in a lake that straddles Vermont and the province of Quebec. It involves cancer, a kind of catfish, and — possibly — clues about how tumors metastasize. n.pr/4vLzcpb
Are multi-terabyte #GPUs and massive frontier models really the answer to #enterprise #AI, or are we hitting a hard wall of soaring memory costs and power constraints? #TechFieldDay #Podcast @techfielddaypod.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS1O...
... with @andybanta.bsky.social , Brian Martin, me, and @demitassenz.bsky.social I don't think Brian is on BlueSky? 🤔

no guys you don’t understand it’s very offensive to describe any of this as trashy
Meanwhile at the White Trash White House last night the main event wasn’t even in the ring. Fights were breaking out on the lawn everywhere under the light of fireworks. Not since the White House burned down in 1814 have we seen so many battles. Sign! 🤡

Black military officers have devoted their lives to serving the United States—now the nation’s top military leader is sending the message that they’re not welcome, @clintsmithiii.bsky.social reports. He spoke with Black veterans about what service means to them:

A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after DHS dumped them in the middle of nowhere, miles from their home, without notifying their family.
The death of a woman from Haiti seeking asylum in the U.S. who died from hypothermia days after her release from federal custody was ruled a homicide by a Pennsylvania county medical examiner's office.
