'We're at the start of a whole new era' with knowledge graphs, says Microsoft veteran Bob Muglia, akin to the arrival of the modern data stack in 2013. The graph of my knowledge is an asymptote
I think that's a math(s) joke, but I don't get it

The Wi-Fi Alliance, which makes Wi-Fi standards and includes Qualcomm as a member, has said that Wi-Fi 7 will offer a max throughput of "at least 30Gbps" As a side benefit - warm up your lunch from anywhere in the house

Fine, but then they'll come out with Wifi 8, 10, and 11, and pretty soon, we won't be able to afford the hardware...

A pair of astrobiologists this week proposed an answer to the Fermi Paradox: alien civilizations get so advanced and large that they can’t handle interstellar travel. That's a load off my mind

I think a simpler theory is that they only visit every few thousand years to see if we've developed a written language. When they visited in 2020 they discovered we were communicating, or at least attempting to communicate, via emojiis. On their previous visit it was Hieroglyphics and Cuneiform.

The Go programming language is continuing on a path of accelerated adoption and is beloved by the developers that use it. For those with their heads in the clouds

Communication is a key skill in today's hybrid world — making it even more important for developers to tap into the writing space. "Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man."

Apple has achieved yet another world-first, but this time the achievement comes closer to a poisoned apple than to a positive turn of events. Think different. Hack the same.

If, for some unknown reason, you recently decided to type the same word five times into a Google Docs document and found it crashed the app, don't worry—you're not alone. And. And. And. And. And. Stop leaving me in suspense!
At least they didn't copy this bug from Word.

An internal developer portal is a self-service application and data store that lets developers and managers track and organize everything their engineering teams build and operate. Because you need a central place for all your documentation to go stale

I thought that was called a wiki. Or Confluence pages. Or simply a notepad document. Now it's called an IDP???

Gotta give it a name that the C-levels can justify.
I personally would imagine that any of the mechanisms you mention would qualify.

Where do you put docs and stuff?
On the Q drive, under their respective folders.
Ewww.
Okay, we put them on our IDP (which happens to be the Q drive)

Decentralized knowledge graphs such as the kind that startup OriginTrail is making will lead to levels of value far greater than has been the case on the internet so far, says Bob Metcalfe. Yeah, but what does he know about networks?

Quote: Everything that is published is a unique asset, a digital twin, so that it can stand for real-world objects, such as sneakers or whiskey. It can be sold to another party, who "takes control of the state of that graph," as Rakic explains, by giving the person the NFT that has the UAL.
The nodes each have graph databases that have pieces of the collective graph, and they each function in a permissionless, peer-to-peer fashion that is analogous to how blockchains function.
...What's needed, maintains Rakic, is a "semantic network" on top of blockchains. That's what the company proposes with its distributed knowledge graph. That ain't Kool-aide he is drinking - more like some type of magic mushroom pulverized in Vodka. Count me out. No effin' way I'm purchasing milk through a blockchain, much less shoes.

"They" have been talking about the semantic web[^] for years. I'm still waiting to see it happen. While a semantic network would be great, if the W3C starts writing "standards" like they did for RDF and OWL, it'll never happen. Poking at RDF and OWL a few years ago, it was, for me, not just wide of the mark (harhar) but also an unintelligible mess.
