After AGI, a Dependency Graph: DeepMind Maps the Road to Superintelligence
DeepMind's post-AGI report names four routes to superintelligence — and the bottlenecks that decide them. What its dependency-graph logic means for AEC offices.
The Grammar of Graphics: why your charts are a language, not a picture menu
Why a chart is a sentence you compose, not a template you pick — the grammar of graphics from Wilkinson to ggplot2 to Flutter, for AEC dashboards.
Fearless on the GPU: data-race-free CUDA kernels in Rust with cuTile
NVIDIA's cuTile Rust brings memory-safe, data-race-free CUDA kernels to Rust — 2.07 PFlop/s on a B200 with no runtime tax. A hands-on PAZ Academy tutorial.
Review of the Week — W27: The Week We Stopped Renting Our Own Buildings
W27 recap: zoning-as-code, the BIM format tax, locally-signed BMS control and PAZ-BOX payback math — one spine, ownership. Draw your dependency graph.
TON 618: the black hole that shrank 38% without moving — a lesson for engineers
TON 618's mass fell 38% in 2019 with no new data — just a different emission line. A physicist's lesson for anyone trusting a structural digital twin's numbers.
Schindler rents out seven robots — but the office still owns the shaft
Schindler's R.I.S.E fleet hits seven self-climbing shaft robots with 50,000 anchor bolts set. The fleet model puts the burden back on your IFC shaft model.
Mass timber, structurally: how CLT turned wood into a load path you can stack
How cross-laminated timber turned engineered wood into a two-way structural plate that carries mid-rise buildings - plus the supply-chain risk nobody draws.
Build a Vintage LLM for the Price of Lunch: A 1900-Locked Model, From Scratch
How croqaz trained a 340M-param, 1900-cutoff LLM for ~$80 — a clone-and-run template for an atelier's own domain-locked house model. Data curation is the job.
Matter: How a Light Bulb Becomes a Typed Node in the Building
How Matter turns a $7 Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W running rs-matter into a self-describing node — the node/endpoint/cluster/attribute model architects should know.
GAF: the 4D robotics plugin your atelier should commission, not license
Gaussian Action Field extends 3D splatting into a 4D robotic-manipulation engine. Why Swiss ateliers should commission it, not license its wrapper.
