ED Surge

Paul, who says she reads academic journal articles for fun, first encountered this argument when she came across a 1998 paper by philosophers Andy Clark and David Chalmers, who argued that the human mind extends into the world around it. Situated cognition is the idea that where we are, our physical environment, affects the way that we think.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. The theory of heat will hereafter form one of the most important branches of general physics.

Storage solutions: can we reimagine the trade-offs that limit flash storage devices?

Futurum

PERFORMANCE – the speed at which data in a storage device can be accessed (latency) or how much data can be accessed in a given time (throughput). HDDs store data using a mix of magnetic and mechanical parts, making them bulkier and susceptible to damage from vibrations and other physical disturbances like being dropped.
