InSAR Earth Eye - Some folks are thinking about twins in space A Research Profile looks at Application of satellite technology in infrastructure monitoring using Satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) monitoring. The site is that of a 5 year UK program that dutifully shut down when it reached five years. Good sports, what? From <https://www.cdbb.cam.ac.uk/news>

ESG could be twinish. Since it monitors systems. In realtime maybe. And even as a RT market. ESG has its failings. Its honest critics who see Green washing is real. ESG also has its enemies – and these include Oil Loving Texans. A vision of the future is blurred when the Texas Public Policy Foundation, backed by oil and gas companies and Republican donors, enters the fray. From <https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/04/climate/texas-public-policy-foundation-climate-change.html>

 

Supply chain twin view – From the MIT Digital Supply Chain Transformation lab. In Sloan Review it is written: “Digital twins observe their physical environment through a network of sensors that dynamically gather real-time data; they evolve by learning from this information and its contexts and by interacting with humans, devices, and other networked digital twins. Such a capability makes digital twins active and social tools, because they can continuously communicate and collaborate with their associated physical and digital objects and with humans. Digital twins support end-to-end visibility and traceability, enabling supply chain practitioners to spot patterns of highly complex and dynamic behavior.” From <https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-twins-in-supply-chains/>

 

Twins go to the city, or let’s get civil - At Columbia University, a three-year project — Hybrid Twins for Urban Transportation: From Intersections to Citywide Management — that began in 2021 is working to create a digital twin of key intersections and other locations in New York City. It is not alone. Other civil engineering projects involving digital twins include a computer model being created of the Houston water system and a sensor-based, real-time decision-support system used by the city of South Bend, Indiana, to better understand the hydraulic conditions in its sewer system. There’s more:  Civil engineers and others have also formed a new organization, the Coalition for Smarter Infrastructure Investments, to promote greater use of digital technology in infrastructure projects.

Why AWS SimSpace Weaver? | Amazon Web Services

Holger Mueller, Constellation Research | AWS re:Invent 2022

This is one of the first few Amazon re:Invents .. where there was no new database announced. So, it was always add another one… They have enough, right? It's a great approach to build something quick, which Amazon is all about. It's not so great when customers want to leverage things. And, ultimately, which I think with Selipsky, AWS is waking up to the enterprise saying, "I have all this different databases and what is in them matters to me." - Holger

New from Neo4j

It's the graph, stupid! - Writes George A on VB: These days people increasingly understand what graph databases are good for and that’s helping the market, Webber said. Modern data is sometimes very structured and uniform and sometimes very sparse and irregular, and that suits graphs very well, he added. Learning to tell the difference means that users come to Neo4j with realistic graph problems that Neo4j can help solve.

Murmuration with recommendation 

Social networks designed years ago — when amoral recommendation engines suggested, for example, that anti-vaccine activists might like to join QA communities — created real ties. From antivax to QA they hopped. Could a star ship take us away? Or a mass Twitter/Facebook exodus? Renee DiResta is a go-to source on where America - us -is - are - at.

Grand Teton is a GPU-based hardware platform, a follow-up to theZion-EX platform. Grand Teton has multiple performance enhancements over its predecessor, such as 4x the host-to-GPU bandwidth, 2x the compute and data network bandwidth, and 2x the power envelope. Grand Teton also has an integrated chassis in contrast to Zion-EX, which comprises multiple independent subsystems. This looks to handle increasingly sophisticated workloads.
