Mercedes-Benz is about to change something fundamental about how cars feel to drive, and it’s not just another software update. The company is bringing steer-by-wire tech to a production vehicle for the first time, starting with the refreshed EQS, and it’s a pretty big departure from how steering has worked for over a century. Mercedes-Benz And yes, this is the same kind of tech that’s been used in aircraft for years, and was even showcased on the Mercedes-Benz Vision Iconic. Now, it’s finally making its way into a luxury sedan. What does “steer-by-wire” actually mean here? In simple terms, Mercedes…

The history of the PC is littered with “revolutionary” features that ended up being little more than expensive paperweights. We’ve seen it with 3D screens, we’ve seen it with dedicated social media buttons, and lately, we’ve been seeing it with the initial wave of AI PCs. For the last year, the industry has been screaming about NPU TOPS and dedicated Copilot keys, yet the average buyer is looking at these machines and asking one simple question: “What does this actually do for me?” Microsoft’s execution of the Copilot+ PC launch was, to put it mildly, problematic. Between the privacy nightmare…

S’pore employers are moving towards skills-based hiring The Ministry of Manpower released its 2025 jobs report on Mar 20, and the numbers tell a story that would have seemed improbable just a decade ago.  Academic qualifications were not the main determinant in hiring for 79.6% of job vacancies last year, up from 78.8% in 2024 and 74.9% in 2023. The movement is slow enough to miss if you’re not looking, but steady enough to reshape who gets hired in Singapore. Employers who have made the shift to skills-based hiring report faster recruitment, access to a broader talent pool, and improved…

Watching the wildly popular television series Love Story took me back to a strange week in my past. One day in April 1994, I was working in a studio apartment that I used as an office. I split the cost with Cynthia Horner, a psychiatrist who’d recently moved out to live with her boyfriend, the songwriter and cyberspace philosopher John Perry Barlow, who was a friend of mine. Late in the afternoon my wife called me with the shocking news that Cynthia, just shy of her 30th birthday, was dead. I called Barlow, who told me that Cymthia had passed…

Convoy co- founder and Microsoft Corporate Vice President Dan Lewis at the Seattle AI Startup Summit on April 2, 2026. (Ken Yeung Photo) Dan Lewis’ career is hard to summarize in a sentence. He was a product manager at Microsoft, then an early employee at the Seattle AI startup Wavii, which Google later acquired. He made a stop at Amazon before ultimately boomeranging back to Microsoft, where he is today. At this week’s Seattle AI Startup Summit, it was his experience building Convoy, the one-time unicorn trucking startup that shuttered in 2023, that he wanted to talk about.  But instead…

U.S. venture capital activity surged to unprecedented levels in the first quarter of 2026, driven by a small number of outsized artificial intelligence deals that reshaped the overall market profile, according to a first look at the quarterly PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor report released early Friday. According to the report, $267.2 billion in deal value was recorded during the quarter, more than doubling the previous quarterly record, though the total was heavily concentrated among a handful of companies. To the surprise of no one, a significant portion of that capital flowed into leading artificial intelligence firms. Big deals in the quarter included OpenAI Group PBC…

If there’s anything that makes people more uncomfortable than highly advanced AI or nuclear weapons technology, it’s the combination of the two. But there’s been a symbiotic relationship between cutting-edge computing and America’s nuclear weapons program since the very beginning.In the fall of 1943, Nicholas Metropolis and Richard Feynman, two physicists working on the top-secret atomic bomb project at Los Alamos, decided to set up a contest between humans and machines.Los Alamos National Laboratory recently partnered with OpenAI to install its flagship ChatGPT AI model on the supercomputers used to process nuclear weapons testing data. It’s the latest in a…

Most reps treat discovery as a form they have to fill out before the real selling starts. The best discovery calls do not feel like discovery at all. They feel like the most useful conversation the buyer had that week. There is a version of discovery that most sales teams run. It goes like this: open with rapport, ask about current state, ask about desired state, ask who else is involved, ask about budget, ask about timeline, summarize back, book the next meeting. The buyer has been through this exact sequence enough times that they can feel the framework running…
