“The term ‘Fediverse’ is often used, but what does it really mean? It’s derived from ‘federation’ and ‘universe’ combined, referring to a network of interconnected social platforms that can communicate with each other. This concept stands out in contrast to today’s social media landscape dominated by a few major platforms that operate independently, unless under the same ownership. Users may share content across platforms, but Facebook remains isolated from Twitter and TikTok. In the Fediverse, the focus is on interoperability and decentralization. Rather than a single centralized network governed by one entity, it fosters diverse communities with their own rules…

In the age of generative AI, when chatbots can provide detailed answers to questions based on content pulled from the internet, the line between fair use and plagiarism, and between routine web scraping and unethical summarization, is a thin one. Perplexity AI is a startup that combines a search engine with a large language model that generates answers with detailed responses, rather than just links. Unlike OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude, Perplexity doesn’t train its own foundational AI models, instead using open or commercially available ones to take the information it gathers from the internet and translate that into answers.…

Sophisticated spacecraft often run on surprisingly outdated computing systems. For example, the Perseverance rover uses a PowerPC 750, the same processor that powered iMacs in the late 1990s. San Francisco-based startup Aethero aims to upgrade these systems with more powerful computing technology. Their first payload, a compact, stackable computer called AetherNxN, is set to launch this month on SpaceX’s Transporter-11 rideshare mission. Built on an Nvidia Orin processor, AetherNxN will be protected by a new radiation shielding material developed by Cosmic Shielding Corporation (CSC). This material could usher in a new era of space computing. Currently, electronics in space are…
