RNG: Flat Datacenter Networks at Scale
We design and deploy in production the first flat datacenter networks. Our design, called RNG, is based on quasi-random graphs. While the cost and fault-tolerance benefits of such topologies have been long known, their practical realization has been hampered by a lack of scalable routing and cabling approaches. RNG has a new distributed routing protocol that exploits the properties of random graphs to find a large number of edge disjoint paths between pairs of endpoints. It uses a novel passive…

Pourquoi la géothermie, solution durable à la crise énergétique, peine à décoller : l’explication en quatre graphiques
La consommation énergétique française est très dépendante des hydrocarbures qu’elle importe, comme le montrent les effets du blocage du détroit d’Ormuz. Pourtant, il existe dans notre sous-sol une source d’énergie décarbonée et peu exploitée : la géothermie.

Tech companies increasingly seek faith leaders' guidance on artificial intelligence
Tech companies are increasingly seeking guidance from faith leaders to shape artificial intelligence.

The goal is to create a set of norms informed by various faiths. Baroness Joanna Shields, a key partner, emphasized the importance of this dialogue. However, some critics argue this approach may distract from broader AI issues. While companies like Anth…

Shawn McCreesh and Kaitlan Collins on the Wild World of Life on the Trump Beat
The NYT White House correspondent covers the White House like it's the greatest and most disturbing show on earth. Over cocktails at Minetta Tavern in D.C., he caught up with his colleague over at CNN to compare notes on the strangest beat in American journalism.

Although if deployed over a period of decades or tied to significant remodel events this could be "a good thing".
However, the time frame proposed for this would cause a lot of unhappiness.
(In our case we have prodigiously hard/calcium water and super high water pressure - 150psi - so we have to replace water heaters pretty often. But to go to heat pump we would probably have to get a new rather higher power-level feed from PG&E - at a cost of tens of thousands o…
