Hardware refers to the material parts of computing equipment, in contrast to software.
Model Hardware Standard
A new standard for AI agents to safely operate physical equipment in scientific research and advanced manufacturing.
IC
An integrated circuit (IC) or a microchip is a set of electronic circuits (usually consisting of MOSFET transistors) on a small flat piece of semiconductor material (silicon). It is currently the dominant technological basis for computers.
AI Chip Architectures
A look at AI Chip Architectures. NVIDIA, AMD, TPUs, Trainium, Groq, Cerebras.

operating system
An operating system is a piece of software that most crucially handles the interoperability between hardware and software as well as between different software programs.
The Computer for the 21st Century
Specialized elements of hardware and software, connected by wires, radio waves and infrared, will be so ubiquitous that no one will notice their presence

virtual machine
A virtual machine is an implementation of a computer on top of another. An emulator is specifically a virtual machine that simulates a different type of computer that also exists as real hardware. If the "emulated" computer is similar to the one that runs the emulator, the commonly used term is virtualization. Virtual machines that have no real-hardware counterpart (such as the Java Virtual Machine) are usually just called VMs, but their machine languages are usually referred to as bytecode rather than machine code.
Oxide Computer Company
The cloud you own. Hardware, with the software baked in, for running infrastructure at scale.

computer–1
computer–1 is a compact mini-ITX pc chassis in a flat pack design, available in powder coated orange or raw anodized aluminum.

Spime Watch: Spime Script
"So, I want to return to one part of that 2006 presentation which I still find relevant - the formation of Spime Script. We're entering a phase where hardware will become increasingly as malleable as software which leads to a problem of choice - if I want to change the function of something, do I do this in software or hardware? The tendency today is obviously towards software because its more malleable but the future is never the past. However this creates a problem of skill - will I need to become proficient in both software and CAD / electronic design?
Universal Virtual Computer
The specification of an hypothetical computer designed to decode and preserve some form of computation over time.
Neural Computer: A New Machine Form Is Emerging
A research essay on Neural Computer: how it differs from agents, world models, and conventional computers; what runtime and CNC would mean; what current prototypes already show; and how software and hardware might change.
IBM's "Man & Computer" (1967)
The idea of a "tech industry" has always relied on "computer" being a special kind of medium, akin to alchemy. And if tech demands to be king, AI hype has now elevated LLMs to a king of kings. But the solipsism has hit a dead end. The only way forward is to recognize that computers are not special.
LLMs are just normal technology. But tech is just a normal medium.
