Microsoft introduced a prototype analog optical computer that uses light to perform calculations, aiming to make artificial intelligence tasks up to one hundred times more energy efficient. The system leverages micro-LEDs and camera sensors to process information in the analog domain, reducing energy consumption and overcoming digital speed limitations. The prototype matched digital computers in image classification and, through a digital twin model, reconstructed brain scan images with less data. The technology also outperformed some quantum computers in financial optimization tasks. Microsoft plans to scale the system to handle more variables as hardware advances.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

At National College of Ireland, we are dedicated to highlighting alternative entry routes into third level education. Students who have just received their Leaving Certificate results should be aware that the Available Places facility opens August 28th, 2025 What is Available Places? Available Places is a facility that highlights places that are still available on selected programmes for CAO Applicants. This means you can choose to study at NCI in September! There are a number of courses currently available on the Available Places facility, which can be viewed on our Available Places Courses page. Students interested in exploring NCI's Available Places options can explore areas of marketing, childhood education and care, as well as business and data science. How does Available Places benefit students? The Leaving Certificate year can be an uncertain time for many students. When all the stress of the exams has ended, some students may feel that they did not put a course down on their CAO choices that they should have, or perhaps when they have a better gauge of how they feel they did, they may wish they had have put some more choices down. When the Available Places facility opens, students have another opportunity to expand their CAO options or apply for courses they did not put down in the first place. For students who maybe did not get the exact results they were hoping for, the Available Places facility displays course options that may suit them. Regardless of how things played out on results day, the Available Places facility gives all students another opportunity to expand their study options for September. We hope that knowing that there is always another way in gives all students some peace of mind as they make their decisions about what and where they will study this September.

AI systems can do amazing things, but they can sometimes suffer from a drawback called “catastrophic forgetting”. Researchers at Arizona State University hope to learn how to solve the problem by probing the brains of sleeping bees. The pay-off could be more reliable, more memory-efficient artificial intelligence. When AI systems learn one task — say, how to recognize dogs — and are later trained on a new task — like identifying cars — they often forget the first thing they learned. This is called ctastrophic forgetting. Ted Pavlic is an associate professor of computer science and engineering in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU, with a joint appointment in the School of Life Sciences. He leads a unique interdisciplinary research project that blends biology and computer science.

Qian Li of DBOS, a durable execution platform born from research by the creators of Postgres and Spark, speaks with host Kanchan Shringi about building durable, observable, and scalable software systems, and why that matters for modern applications. They discuss database-backed program state, workflow orchestration, real-world AI use cases, and comparisons with other workflow technologies. Li explains how DBOS persists not just application data but also program execution state in Postgres to enable automatic recovery and exactly-once execution. She outlines how DBOS uses workflow and step annotations to build deterministic, fault-tolerant flows for everything from e-commerce checkouts to LLM-powered agents. Observability features, including SQL-accessible state tables and a time-travel debugger, allow developers and business users to understand and troubleshoot system behavior. Finally, she compares DBOS with tools like Temporal and AWS Step Functions. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

We discuss: Why software can be seen as ACTUAL MAGIC The combination of history and science fiction for more accurate prediction The phases of computing technology, and what might be next after silicon The creative opportunities for the future of software Quotes from Sam: “Software is absolutely magic. It's wizardry. It's sorcery. Nobody gets it.” “We actually can use text and code to affect the world around us.” “Computing should almost be this humanistic liberal art—it should connect to language and philosophy and art.” “Code is not a substance, but it operates in the world.” “Computers are weird everything machines.” “We're shielded from the vast complexity of computing—until something goes wrong.” “People used to build computers in their garages. Now we can't even open them.” “Unix is like the Epic of Gilgamesh of computing—it's been around for decades and it's still foundational.” “AI is powerful, but it's part of a much longer conversation around tools for thought.” “Biology is a wildly different computer than anything we would ever use to compute with.” “Science fiction doesn't always predict well, but it gives us worlds we can aim toward.” “I want more weird, playful experimentation in computing—something beyond the chat interface.” “Computing history is so young that many of the pioneers are still around to email.” “Ultimately, all these tools were developed for people. They're meant to be in service of humans.”
