Kurzweil Accelerating Intelligence- IBM has announced it has achieved a new data-transmission advancement that will help improve Internet backbone speeds to 200 — 400 gigabits per second (Gb/s) at extremely low power.
After nearly a decade, Oracle’s copyright lawsuit against Google is close to settling an important question: can you own the basic commands of a coding language
IBM has a patent out there for a smartwatch packed with a bunch of folding screens, because the future is dumb as heck.
DCD reports on the epic decades-long quest to make computers more like the human brain. Early efforts brought us the deep learning revolution, neuromorphic computing could bring us so much more
Internet will reach at a new level with that speed. Also, as a developer I don't have to think much about how to minify things on my website.
for practical use, i just want a faster internet streaming experience and zero lag when playing online games.
This is ridiculously fast..
To put things in perspective, 200 gigabits is 25 gigabytes per second. It's orders of magnitutes faster than local storage, and is the same as local RAM speed of previous gen consoles!
Such a tech, when widely used, has the potential to make many devices obsolete.
(edit: of course this is the backbone speed and will be divided among lots of clients, but it's super exciting, still)
