Stick around as we explore how tech both creates and disrupts our groove, and whether the secret sauce of in-person jams can really translate to the digital world. Part 1 – The Synchrony Paradox  In this episode of Traceroute, we delve into a quest for the perfect tool to help bridge the physical and digital divides that increasingly appear between musicians like John and Arman. From California’s Bay Area to the buzzing streets of Hong Kong, we find a host of technologists who, spurred on by the impacts of a global pandemic, are already hard at work tackling the kind of low-latency global networking solutions that just might be the key to keeping the band in one semi-remote piece. But within this p

Synopsis How do we make technology that lasts? In this episode, Grace Ewura-Esi and Shweta Saraf join Producer John Taylor as he talks with two cutting-edge technologists who are trying to extend the life of the hardware infrastructure around us. From a cell phone tower that can be installed on your roof (and repaired just as easily), to a clock that is built to last ten thousand years, we uncover the common threads that run through technology that’s built to last. Woven in this framework is the story of Sandra Rodriguez, who worked tirelessly to restore civilization—as well as hope itself—to the island of Puerto Rico with the help of the only piece of hardware infrastructure that withstood the powerful forces of Hurricane Maria in 2017.

How far does large language modeling need to go before we consider marrying an #AI? In part 2 of our 3-part series on our relationship with AI, we explore how Large Language Models can be shaped to mimic the qualities of a human personality, and the implications that come with it. We are joined again by James Vlahos of Embodied, who sheds insight on why creating personas with AI and LLMs is like directing actors in a play, but a play that does not involve thinking or motivation the way we believe it to mean. The question is, however, if your chatbot can sound like a person, does that mean it can be a fulfilling substitute for the people in your life? Or do we need to recognize that a product is a product, regardless of its ability to convince you it’s not?  

Equinix Inc. is partnering with other players, such as The Linux Foundation, to offer open-source developers relevant infrastructure, such as bare metal, for unparalleled performance, scalability and manageability over their environments, according to Josh Atwell (pictured, left), senior director of developer relations at Equinix. “Software is really boring if it doesn’t have something to run on,” Atwell said. “Being at Equinix has been pretty fantastic, because it’s our core — what we do is infrastructure. We’ve had a few partners that just come by to talk to our joint customers about how they’ve been using our platform, using our network, our bare metal servers to be able to solve problems, and it’s just nice remembering that the infrastructure’s still there and it’s important.” Atwell and Robert Reeves (right), vice president of strategic partnerships at The Linux Foundation, spoke with theCUBE industry an
