In that difference lies a coming sea change in how the US, Europe, and the world at large will consume power — and how much that will cost.  For years, data centers displayed a remarkably stable appetite for power, even as their workloads mounted. Now, as the pace of efficiency gains in electricity use slows and the AI revolution gathers steam, Goldman Sachs Research estimates that data center power demand will grow 160% by 2030. At present, data centers worldwide consume 1-2% of overall power, but this percentage will likely rise to 3-4% by the end of the decade. In the US and Europe, this increased demand will help drive the kind of electricity growth that hasn't been seen in a generation. Along the way, the carbon dioxide emissions of data centers may more than double between 2022 and 2030.   Goldman Sachs research on AI and power needs https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/gs-research/generational-growth-ai-data-centers-and-the-coming-us-power-surge/report.pdf   Full Show: HERE         IT Setup & Cybersecurity w/ Luciano Aguayo of Redgear AZ TRT S05 EP07 (222) 2-18-2024  What We Learned This Week RedGear provides turnkey IT solutions for clients. Outsource IT to shift liability IT often an afterthought, when it should be a major priority - lifestyle of tech in a business Data is lifeblood of a company, need security Cybersecurity is just one part, need to monitor physical location, who has access, email, etc   Guest: Luciano Aguayo of Redgear https://redgear.com/ Luciano Aguayo is a Texas native, and an active member and contributor to the Southwest Technology community.

Wayfair out of Boston has incorporated AI. They understand the shopper experience.   In its simplest form, AI uses the recommendation model - presents back to you similar things you've been searching for. If you like this, you'll like something similar. This is now a very large part of business revenues, while also helping to better the user experience.   There are large language, AI models, which involve more math in the program and need more computing power. Harder to run this larger AI model.   Businesses need an AI division in their tech stack now. Many large companies have an dedicated AI Lab. This is similar to how they had built out a cloud model in the past. Nowadays though, business understand their models need more integrated.   You train an AI model with company data. Lots of data. Seven data set to start using reference material like Internet sites or Wikipedia. It does cost a lot to change this model.   There are options to build on an existing model open source AI programs. What is used now is called a foundational model, and then you train it on your company product catalog.   Seg 3 Brian‘s background is a computer science degree and software developer. He worked in New England. He's a technologist, solve the problem in use case for tech product manager.   Worked at Redhat through 2001, and the.com crash. Also worked in open source in Linux platforms. Then was at Google cloud, working onsite in Mountain View, California. This was no remote jobs back in 2014. He was there for 5 years and helped with the company going from $50 mil to $10 bil revenue.   Move back to New England. Connected with a professor from MIT, who had started a company on AI software and Brian joined as CEO.   Company is called Neural Magic, and the website is neuralmagic.com. Deepsparse is their software stack which runs deep AI learning model that you deploy on servers.   They fine-tune the model and adapted it to customer stack. This is for businesses to optimize AI for customers. It is similar to an interface with company software. AI language model that is large needs. Lots of infrastructure.   What neural magic does is? It makes the model faster and more efficient.   Seg 4 ChatGPT has changed things with AI. AI interface is similar with API codes with response and language size. Need a model that meets needs with a data set that makes the models run more efficiently on lots of hardware.   Neural magics deep sparse is an inference server and training to deploy in production and could be days to train.   There are 3 challenges with AI for businesses. First is expensive and enterprise does not control things when they use a hosted model or a hosted service like open AI. Second, they have to feed data to the host to train the AI model and there are privacy and security issues. Third you have a lifecycle , which must qualify and test the text stack with each time you update.   Neural Magic allows enterprises to own the AI model. Now they have security, privacy and updates are all handled. This is AI on their own terms and gives them options. Full control and it looks like just another application.   Open source AI machine learning model in the cloud and  can work on servers like Oracle, Amazon - AWS, the Google cloud, or Microsoft Azure. Client has liability with software, and they still need to protect it.   More info go to neural magic.com can learn about the product, the marketing as well as the community.         Seg 1 - Clips from:   Artificial Intelligence (AI) – how the Algorithm Connects Us All - BRT S02 EP43 (90) 10-24-2021   5 Things We Learned This Week: AI is inter-connected with so many technologies & you use AI often on a daily basis AI is a part of almost all industries from Healthcare, Finance to Defense Human in the Loop - humans will always be needed to Interpret the Data, but AI will assist Software Teams must be managed so the product is integrated properly in the bigger picture Moore's Law – Each year computing power grows 2x as fast, but cuts the cost in half     Naru and his team are working on document management, where their AI program will be able to read documents and determine what the info is. Rising Cloud is another project they are building that manages a company cloud usage to improve costs. Moore's Law – Each year computing power grows 2x as fast, but cuts the cost in half Cloud Computing happens in the cloud and internet for your programming vs Edge Computing that happens right on your phone and does not need to go out to the cloud. Bigger the data request or process determines if Cloud or Edge is the best choice. People interact with AI (Artificial Intelligence) daily on their phone, email, internet search and beyond. User Agreements in your phone or websites you use say they can take your search data and use it to enhance your experience. AI Search uses past searches by you, vs what are the popular other searches by other people on the internet. It happens so fast and has the best / popular search options loading before you are even done typing. This is called a Recommendation Engine, just like Netflix or Amazon find shows or products you may like. These recs are similar to what you have watched or bought previously, or in similar genres. The downside is you may not see different options, just more of the same. AI determines what you see daily on the internet, and can create a silo effect. Inventives uses a common solution, called Human in the Loop to review what the AI is doing. Then the searches or recommendations are reviewed to see how accurate they are.       Full Show: HERE           Best of Biotech from AZ Bio & Life Sciences to Jellatech: HERE   Biotech Shows: HERE   AZ Tech Council Shows:  https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=az+tech+council *Includes Best of AZ Tech Council show from 2/12/2023     ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT     Thanks for Listening.

This episode features a panel discussion with Stefano Maffulli, Executive Director of the Open Source Initiative (OSI); and Stephen O'Grady, Co-founder of RedMonk. Stefano has decades of experience in open source advocacy. He co-founded the Italian chapter of Free Software Foundation Europe, built the developer community of the OpenStack Foundation, and led open source marketing teams at several international companies. Stephen has been an industry analyst for several decades and is author of the developer playbook, The New Kingmakers: How Developers Conquered the World.In this episode, Sam, Stefano, and Stephen discuss the intersection of open source and AI, good data for everyone, and open data foundations.-------------------“Internet Archive, Wikipedia, they have that mission to accumulate data. The OpenStreetMap is another big one with a lot of interesting data. It's a fascinating space, though. There are so many facets of the word ‘data.' One of the reasons why open data is so hard to manage and hasn't had that same impact of open source is because, like Stephen, the stories that he was telling about the startups having a hard time assembling the mixing and matching, or modifying of data has a different connotation. It's completely different from being able to do the same with software.” – Stefano Maffulli“It's also not clear how said foundation would get buy-in. Because, as far as a lot of the model holders themselves, they've been able to do most of what they want already. What's the foundation really going to offer them? They've done what they wanted. Not having any inside information here, but just judging by the fact that they are willing to indemnify their users, they feel very confident legally in their stance. Therefore, it at least takes one of the major cards off the table for them.” – Stephen O'Grady-------------------Episode Timestamps:(01:44): What open source in the context of AI means to each guest(16:21): Stefano explains OSI's opportunity to shine a light on models and teams(21:22): The next step of open source AI according to Stephen(25:38): Creating better definitions in order to modify software(33:09): The case of funding an open data foundation(42:31): The future of open source data(51:54): Executive producer, Audra Montenegro's backstage takeaways-------------------Links:LinkedIn - Connect with StefanoVisit Open Source InitiativeLinkedIn - Connect with StephenVisit RedMonk

De OpenInfra Foundation is fundamenteel aan het veranderen. Wat betekent dat voor OpenStack? En hoe relevant is en blijft datgene wat de OIF doet in Europa?Enkele weken geleden waren we aanwezig bij de Europese uitvoering van KubeCon + CloudNativeCon van de Cloud-Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in Valencia. Deze week was het de beurt aan de OpenInfra Foundation (OIF) om on tijdens de OpenInfra Summit in Berlijn bij te praten over wat het allemaal in petto heeft voor de open-source projecten die onder die stichting vallen.Meer dan OpenStackBij het horen van de naam OpenInfra Foundation is het wellicht niet voor iedereen duidelijk waar we het over hebben. Deze naam is namelijk nog niet zo heel oud. Voor 2021 ging deze stichting door het leven als de OpenStack Foundation. De naamswijziging is een duidelijk signaal naar de markt geweest. De OIF gaf en geeft hier mee aan dat het meer in het portfolio heeft dan alleen OpenStack. Toegegeven, de naam OpenStack was voor ons al enige tijd niet meer een synoniem voor innovatie en spannende ontwikkelingen, dus wij snappen de naamswijziging heel goed. Sterker nog, de OIF had het wat ons betreft wel iets eerder mogen doen.We zeggen niets geks als we stellen dat OpenStack niet helemaal geworden is wat men er een jaar of tien geleden van verwachtte. Deels vanwege ontwikkelingen in de rest van de markt, met de onstuitbare en snelle opkomst van de hyperscalers. Deels ook vanwege het imago dat aan OpenStack kleeft als een omgeving die niet per se eenvoudig op te zetten en te beheren is. Je moet er behoorlijk wat mensen opzetten, iets wat veel organisaties niet kunnen en/of willen.Dit imago is inmiddels niet meer helemaal verdiend en terecht overigens. Het is anno 2022 een stuk eenvoudiger om met OpenStack aan de slag te gaan dan het in het verleden was. Evenals andere open-source projecten zoals Kubernetes zal het echter nooit doodsimpel worden. De operationele kant zal altijd een uitdaging zijn bij open-source.Maar goed, de naamswijziging heeft er vooral voor gezorgd dat het nu duidelijk is dat dat er meer is dan OpenStack binnen de OIF. Het CI/CD-platform Zuul is het oudste project naast OpenStack. Dat viert dit jaar ook alweer zijn tiende verjaardag.In deze podcast gaan we in op de ontwikkelingen rondom de OpenInfra Foundation. Denken we in de toekomst nog aan OpenStack als we het hebben over de OpenInfra Foundation, of zal het dan toch vooral gaan over de andere projecten? En kunnen we een zekere mate van integratie verwachten tussen de verschillende grote(re) open-source communities?

OpenStack was going to create an open source alternative to AWS, as well as displace VMware in the Enterprise. But change is never easy, and some things didn't go as planned. Looking back, what can we learn from the lessons of OpenStack?

In this episode, David speaks with long time friend and OpenStack Foundation founding member Randy Bias about the future of Cloud Computing and disrupting technology. Voices in Cloud – Episode 11: A Conversation with Randy Bias of the OpenStack Foundation

Joining us this week is Mark Collier, Chief Operating Officer, OpenStack Foundation. About OpenStack Foundation The OpenStack Foundation (OSF) supports the development and adoption of open infrastructure globally, across a community of 100,000 individuals in 187 countries, by hosting open source projects and communities of practice, including datacenter cloud, edge computing, NFV, CI/CD and container infrastructure. Highlights: • Status of OpenStack from OpenStack Summit Berlin • State of Open Source from Licensing and Sustainability Perspective • History of Big Tent and Learnings for New Direction Moving Forward • Running OpenStack Foundation and Open Source Challenges • Multiple Open Source Projects working Together • Open Infrastructure Projects The Open Infrastructure Summit that Mark mentioned will be held in Denver, Colorado from April 29-May 1. Registration is currently open.

Open Source Voices: Eric Ernst, the lead Kata Software Engineer at Intel, and Anne Bertucio, Community Manager for Kata Containers who works at the OpenStack Foundation, talk about the impetus for Kata Containers, what problem the team was looking to solve, how the community has evolved, and what lies ahead.

He's the VP and CTO of Cloud Computing at Cisco, he's the Vice Chairman of the Board for the OpenStack Foundation, and he's on the Board of Directors for both CNCF and the Cloud Foundry Foundation. Which is all to say that Lew Tucker is neck deep in cloud, and has seen it from a variety of different angles. In this episode he shares extraordinarily thoughtful insights and opinions on everything from OpenStack and Istio to the way we build applications and the importance of demo days.

OpenStack Summit Vancouver is officially in the books, and one of the most exciting elements of the week was undoubtedly the release of Kata Containers, v1.0. In this episode, Anne Bertucio of the OpenStack Foundation, also Community Manager for Kata, explains where Kata came from, what Kata does, why the 1.0 release is such a big deal, and how it fits into the larger mission of the OpenStack Foundation.

Steve is a longtime member of the OpenStack community and an active contributor, having served as a team lead on Heat, an early contributor to Magnum, and a major contributor to Kolla for three years. Today he's on the Board of Directors for OpenStack, and is deeply involved in Istio. In this episode Steve talks about current OpenStack Foundation initiatives, the current state of Istio, and why he thinks blockchain is going to change the world.

Heidi Joy Tretheway is the Senior Marketing Manager at the OpenStack Foundation. That means she’s in charge of the annual OpenStack User Survey, and she’s got the scoop on the latest trends when it comes to OpenStack adoption. She knows which countries and industries are adopting the platform fastest, what type of workloads are being run on it most often, and what percentage of their cloud apps are running on OpenStack versus other cloud platforms. Plus she’s got fantastic recommendations about where to get souvenirs when traveling abroad, and a few thoughts on what you might read while you’re getting there. We love Heidi, and we think you will too!

(03:10) There isn't much documentation online of Bruce Perens live DMCA violation, but this article appears to be the main one on the subject, and there is also this interview (06:46). Bradley and Karen talked about the joint FSF/Conservancy copyleft.org announcement. (09:10) Bradley first pulled together the materials for copyleft.org for FSF's CLE seminars, particularly the one in March 2014. (10:00) Karen noted that Conservancy donated the time to write up a pristine example of good complete, corresponding source code for a GPL'd product. (11:30) Bradley discussed the incorrect GPLv2§2(a) violation accusations that some made against Red Hat regarding its changes to its publication of RHEL's Linux fork.

If you'd rather watch the video, which includes the slides from her talk, it's available on FOSDEM's site. Segment 2 (46:40) Bradley and Karen discuss Eileen's talk. Bradley mentioned the OpenStack CLA fight, which was covered in a panel discussion on FaiF 0x4B.

Bradley and Karen discuss the key differences between 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(6) organizations in the USA, and discuss recent refusals by the IRS to grant such statuses to Open Source and Free Software orgs. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:34) Bradley mentioned the 501(c)(3) vs. 501(c)(6) difference came up on FaiF 0x41. (03:35) Bradley mentioned that in 501(c)(3) status from the IRS is based on receiving some status governed by §170(b)(1)(A) of the tax code. (Most Free Software charities, such as Conservancy, are classifed as non-profit charities under §170(b)(1)(A)(vi).) (05:10) Bradley mentioned this issue had been discussed on FLOSS Foundations' mailing list (05:50) Bradley discussed that at the OSCON 2013 tutorial, Community Foundations 101, most of the 501(c)(6) representatives who spoke argued incorrectly that the differences between 501(c)(3)'s and 501(c)(6)'s were not substantive. (10:50) Karen referenced how the TV show Silicon Valley parodies the irony of for-profit software companies claiming they make the world a better place. (11:58) Bradley mentioned he was inspired by Michael Moore in his work on Free Software. (15:02) Bradley mentioned Karen's talk called Identity Crisis (15:21) Karen mentioned that open source was on the list of items the IRS gave additional scrutiny. (16:51) Bradley mentioned a blog post by Jim Nelson where Yorba's rejection was discussed; Yorba's 501(c)(3) application was previously discussed on was discussed on 0x1C, and covered in many other places. (17:46) Karen wrote a blog post about why she isn't worried for Conservancy's 501(c)(3) status at this time. (18:30) Bradley mentioned that IRS decisions don't make precedent, and if there's a dispute, it would go to USA Tax Court (19:00) Mozilla Foundation's odd hybrid for-profit/non-profit model was audited by the IRS, and Mozilla Foundation settled with the IRS. (20:22) Open Stack Foundation was initially denied 501(c)(6) status, as reported on Mark McLoughlin's blog. (25:10) Bradley promised links to both Yorba's 501(c)(3) denial letter from the IRS and Open Stack Foundation's 501(c)(6) denial letter from the IRS. (The response to the IRS from OpenStack, written by DLA Piper, OpenStack Foundation's law firm, is also available, too. (27:15) Bradley and Karen discussed Board of Directors meetings in FaiF 0x45: I'm Board (31:40) Bradley mentioned the How fresh stays fresh campaign, which includes the Nature's Pause Button television commercials by the American Frozen Food Institute, which is a 501(c)(6) organization. It's FY 2012 Form 990 is the most recent on available. Bradley also mentioned the Beef: It's What's For Dinner advertisting campaign that has existed for decades in the USA, which is sponsored by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Inc. which is a 501(c)(6) as well. It's FY 2012 Form 990 is the most recent on available. (35:40) Bradley further mentioned the Pork: the other white meat advertising campaign, which has also existed for decades but is now called the Pork: Be Inspired campaign, seems a bit more dubious in its non-profit existence. It appears to be funded by the National Pork Board Foundation, which is ostensibly a 501(c)(3) but has no assets, revnue nor expenses, and appears to be a front for an org called the America's Pork Producers / Pork Checkoff, which appears to be some quasi-govermental agency related to pork (in other words, it's pork for pork). More research would probably be needed to figure out better what's going on here with regard to non-profit status, but it seems that unlike the Beef ads, which are clearly funded by a 501(c)(6), this campaign is funded by a separate legislation, presumably unrelated to §501(c). There is, BTW, also, a 501(c)(5) called the National Pork Producers Council, which appears to be where the big money is (— not surprisingly — 501(c)(4)'s and 501(c)(5)'s often make 501(c)(6)'s and 501(c)(3)'s look tiny by comparison).
