Thunderous Wisdom

“If you ask 'Should we be in space?' you ask a nonsense question. We are in space. We will be in space.”

Let’s Get Into Smarter Spaces

Ever wondered why everyone is buying automatic thermostats, sensor based lights, or linking up every room with receivers? The invention of the internet inspired many ideas for down-sizing and up-sizing, one of them being “Smart Spaces.” This can be defined as linking an area of any size and interconnecting many of its features such as lighting, power, cooling and heating be it through fiber or wireless.

Sounds fantastic, I would have saved myself many cold mornings being able to turn on my heater from the bed. It’s impressive just how small we can take the concept of the internet here and keep it effective. Not convinced? This also grants you the ability to budget your power and utilities at home, all without even needing to directly manage it.

Empowering your home into a Smart Space is one of the best decisions anyone can make as technology continues to come out for it. It is also quite easy as well, there is various helpful guides from YouTube to PDFs you can find for free online. Lastly, it is important to note these devices became recently much cheaper then before and they are commonly being sold on sales nationwide.

Neuromorphic Computing, huh?

Neuro? Morphic? The first thing we thought when we came across this was how genius the concept is. Theorized and built upon the idea that we can mimic the human brain with computer parts and digital code. There is much untapped potential however, much of the work is still testing to see if this theory is worth pursuing given recent advancements in hardware.

How much of it compares to the human brain? Engineers decided to use neurons as the framework. Inside them are ‘synapses’ that allow transmission of data between each other, very similar to how our neurons use chemicals. This could prove useful in development of AI as we could use this to mimic interactions with our creations in the future.

Currently we see this technology being utilized extensively by Intel who built one of the largest networks using Neuromorphic. They have an in-house processor named “Loihi 2” which started development from its predecessor introduced in 2018. Their main focus is to combat the issue that comes with scaling AI, the cost.

Cybersecurity Meshing

Online attacks increase in severity and frequency with each passing day. Did you know 46% of all cyber breaches impact businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees? This is just one of the many horrifying facts of the modern internet.

Many cybersecurity companies attempted to tackle this problem head on with a central program hunting for malware, viruses, etc. Over time their defenses were countered and to adapt they’ve developed a layered strategy with multiple programs. You can imagine this essentially as having a guard every floor of your building to patrol and help each other.

Take for example the usage of MalwareBytes that has created many different services underneath the program. They can scan your browser and website, they can prevent downloads after a scan, or they can prevent phishing or keyloggers taking hold. This is just one of the many programs you can download and fortunately at an affordable price.
