Tech Bros Aim To Sidestep Local Resistance By Installing Mini Data Centers In Homes
California-based startup Span has developed XFRA, a distributed AI-compute network that turns unused electrical capacity in residential homes and small businesses into miniature data centers.
It may be one of the more ingenious workarounds yet from tech bros, as traditional data-center buildouts are increasingly delayed or canceled, not only because of permitting bottlenecks and grid constraints, but also because of rising local opposition.
Across parts of the country, ordinary folks are watching power bills surge, while AI...

Harvard Creates Robot Ants That Work Like Real Insects To Build And Dismantle Complex Structures
Harvard Creates Robot Ants That Work Like Real Insects To Build And Dismantle Complex Structures
Authored by Mrigakshi Dixit via Interesting Engineering,
Researchers at Harvard have developed a fleet of robotic ants that mimic the self-organizing behavior of social insects to build and dismantle structures without blueprints or central leadership.
An illustration of how the collective, decentralized behavior of ants has inspired experiments with cooperative robots that can complete tasks without central control.
Dubbed “RAnts”, these robotic ants have been designed by researchers from the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied...
