Five years ago, Eric Aguilar was fed up. He had worked on lidar and other sensors for years at Tesla and Google X, but the technology always seemed too expensive and, more importantly, unreliable. He replaced the lidar sensors when they broke—which was all too often, and seemingly at random—and developed complex calibration methods and maintenance routines just to keep them functioning and the cars drivable. So, when he reached the end of his rope, he invented a more robust technology—w...| IEEE Spectrum

The internet depends on a network of submarine cables no thicker than a garden hose, yet these tiny conduits carry the vast majority of global internet traffic. As digital demand explodes and new cables proliferate, cable route engineers face an increasingly complex challenge: finding space on the seafloor for new systems while maintaining the safety and reliability of existing infrastructure.| TeleGeography Blog
Global internet bandwidth increased by 23% in 2025, maintaining its consistent pace of steady growth.

Recently, I was asked: what if Edison had won the Battle of the Currents?

Would we still need spinning mass, inertia, and frequency control| Watt-Logic

For most people, new ideas and perspectives make us uncomfortable. It’s easier and less taxing to surround ourselves with people who agree with our worldview, and reinforce our way of thinking, to make us believe we are correct. We self-select our communities, both in the physical world, and the online space, and these friends or peers become an extension of our own identity. A byproduct of this selection process is that our communities end up looking a lot like us and behaving like us. Tec...| louisgray.com
