This week, we're diving deeper than a neural network into the tech world's latest oddities, breakthroughs, and outright WTF moments. So strap on your thinking caps, charge your brain batteries, and prepare for a rollercoaster ride through the tech world of…last week!


Take My Money! 

Western Digital just dropped a bombshell at FMS2024! Say hello to the world’s first 8TB SD card and a 16TB external SSD. Whether you’re a Steam Deck warrior, drone pilot, or camera wizard, your storage dreams just got a massive upgrade. Now I can store all my games and still have room for my cat videos.

Supercomputers: The Next Generation

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory are harnessing charge density waves to create supercomputers that are faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient. Imagine if Captain Picard’s Enterprise-D had to compete with Captain Kirk’s original Enterprise-both powerful and fast-one is faster and more efficient. (I’m not going to get into which one that is because well I’m not here to start anything and everyone is entitled to their own opinion…I suppose) Get ready to boldly go where no computer has gone before!

The DNA Whisperer

Scientists at Dresden University of Technology have just trained an AI model, GROVER, to “speak” DNA! This groundbreaking tool decodes the hidden language of our genome, potentially revolutionizing personalized medicine. GROVER is fluent in the language of life, while I'm still struggling to understand Shakespere.
