Tesla and the Fickle Magic of Sentiment
One challenge associated with expounding on events is having to choose from a multiplicity of subject matter. On any given day — today, for instance — I could take this vehicle and drive it in any of several directions.
But since I’ve invoked a driving metaphor, let’s go with Tesla’
Super Micro Dodges Delisting Bullet, but Questions Remain
Forget the Asteroid in 2032 — Worry About the Here and Now
I am not among the people concerned about an asteroid, charmingly named 2024 YR4, that is reportedly hurtling through space on a collision course for Earth. Astronomers and physicists estimate that the space rock, which measures from 130 to 300 feet (a wide variance), has about a 1.5% probability
Juniper CEO Rami Rahim is Right When He Says the DoJ is Wrong
Did Juniper CEO Rami Rahim reach out to SDxCentral for an interview, or was the approach from the latter to the former? The answer to that question doesn’t negate anything that Rahim said in an article published by SDxCentral, but it would be interesting to know the answer.

I haven’t paid a visit to the networking neighborhood for a while, partly because networking, while essential as IT infrastructure, seems a little beside the point when the overall industry and the larger world is teetering on the edge of feral madness.
I ask myself, and no longer in
And Now for A Very Different Take on the DeepSeek Cause Célèbre
A media storm raged in the wake of news that China’s DeepSeek open-source AI models were capable of equaling or surpassing the performance of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which is decidedly not open source.
In the past few days, arguably too much has been written and said about the emergence
The TikTok Mouse and the Elephant in The Room
We’ve reached a point, here in the fast-moving eddies of the digital era, where snapshots of a given point in the space-time continuum are nearly impossible to capture. Time doesn’t present itself as an orderly sequence of discrete blips, like the ellipses that follow a stray thought, but
