Chinese AI models have moved beyond low-cost alternatives and now compete across reasoning, coding, research, multimodal understanding, and autonomous agent work. Two of the most important systems are Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI and DeepSeek V4 from DeepSeek. Although no single model is best for every workload, Kimi K3 is a strong overall frontier candidate,…

ChatGPT’s new reasoning-effort slider may look like a fresh artificial-intelligence interface, but the basic design philosophy has existed in Bitcoin ASIC mining for more than a decade. The control allows a user to move between lighter, faster processing and deeper, slower reasoning. OpenAI explains that higher reasoning effort can improve complex results but generally takes…

For the past month or so there were several bitaxe devices at my micro data center that indicated they were in a state of overheating. You will see a tab on your dashboard that says “Bitaxe has overheated – See settings.” It is likely that your machine needs a firmware update. While I did create…

Kerberos is a cross-platform network authentication protocol used to verify the identities of users, computers, applications, and services across a network. Originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kerberos uses secret-key cryptography and encrypted tickets instead of repeatedly transmitting a user’s password. Kerberos Version 5 is an open internet standard, allowing compatible systems from…

Connecting a local personal computer to the public internet through a FortiGate firewall requires setting up a dedicated firewall policy with precise network address objects and Network Address Translation enabled. Network administrators must navigate to the Policy and Objects menu on the FortiOS dashboard and create a new firewall policy. After defining an intuitive policy…

Power Efficiency Theory provides a framework for measuring the value progression of proof-of-work systems using observable changes in computational performance and energy efficiency. The Power Efficiency Index, or PEI, organizes that framework around several distinct price points: physical price, relative price and actual price. Physical price establishes the observed reference point, while relative price represents…

SpaceX has received two U.S. Space Force task orders worth a combined $1.6 billion, covering 18 Falcon 9 launches for the military’s Space Based Sensing and Targeting portfolio. The missions will launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California and are expected to be completed by the end of 2027. The satellites are intended to…
