The most innovative companies in computing this year reflect wide-ranging efforts to build the infrastructure that next-generation AI applications require, and to enable their deployment in virtually any imaginable location or scenario. Nvidia’s GB300 NVL72 platform, an “AI supercomputer”—incorporating GPUs, CPUs, power, cooling and networking components—delivers 50x the reasoning power of prior systems. It is already being deployed by hyperscalers and cloud platforms such as CoreWeave and Microsoft Azure. This year saw a proliferation of data centers to power AI. “Neocloud” providers such as Nebius are commoditizing and democratizing access to GPU clusters with strategic hubs across the U.S. and…

Published March 24, 2026 03:16AMThe Dietary Guidelines for Americans—updated every five years by law—serve as the nation’s blueprint for healthy eating. By now, you’ve probably seen the newly released and much‑debated MAHA‑influenced version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA).This latest edition turns the classic food pyramid upside down and rearranges its priorities: protein‑dense foods now sit at the top while carbohydrate‑rich grains are pushed to the bottom. The streamlined guidelines raise protein targets, discourage heavily processed foods, and offer mixed messages when it comes to dietary fat. That said, if you’re an athlete or pretty active, you might be…

Published March 24, 2026 03:49AMI heard about the Netteburgs before I met them. Word spreads fast on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and it’s hard to keep a low profile as a family of seven with matching yellow sun hoodies hiking 20-plus miles a day. Fellow PCT thru-hikers spoke about them with awe: thru-hiking the 2,650-mile trail in 2023, a record snow year, was hard enough; doing it with kids seemed unimaginable. Especially when one of those kids was two years old. I was coming up on three months into my own thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, headed north…

Postpartum depression is often framed as a private struggle that unfolds at home or in the doctor’s office. But for millions of working parents, its effects also show up quietly at work—through missed deadlines, sudden disengagement, or a colleague who no longer seems like themselves. Too often, these changes are misunderstood as performance issues rather than signs of a common and treatable mental health condition. To better understand what employers, managers, and coworkers often miss—and how workplaces can respond more thoughtfully—I spoke with Andrea Clark, deputy CEO of Postpartum Support International, a global nonprofit focused on supporting families and raising…

If you have a direct report who identifies as neurodivergent, you may wonder how best to be their manager. Often, when we manage others, we imagine how we would react to the things we plan to ask, or the feedback we plan to give, and the work environment we aim to create. That strategy is not always effective in general, and it is likely to fail spectacularly when engaging with neurodivergent colleagues.Here are a few things to consider when supervising a neurodivergent employee.Engage with curiosityStart by being curious. Meet with your supervisee and get their permission to ask questions so…

When people choose their cofounder, it’s rarely scientific. They’re guided by trust, and trust is easiest to find in familiar places: former coworkers, college classmates, close friends, people who already sit in your orbit. While starting a company is chaotic enough without bringing strangers into the mix, I wanted to understand whether this instinct toward familiarity actually comes with a cost. Turns out it does. Having worked with hundreds of early-stage startups as founders and investors, including at Coatue, Kleiner Perkins, and NFX, we wanted to test whether the instincts founders use to choose partners actually hold up in the…

Market research can be a slow, fragmented, and difficult process, often involving tedious internet searches, questionable data sources, and time-consuming manual synthesis. This makes it a great candidate for some assistance from AI. What’s more, an update to a popular feature on ChatGPT has made it even better at doing this kind of work. Imagine that you have a potential business idea but still need to validate how viable it actually is, identify primary competitors in your market, and develop an ideal customer persona. Instead of spending hours collating data, explains Dan McCarthy, an associate professor of marketing at the University of Maryland, you can use Deep Research, a ChatGPT…

It’s another bad day for gold and silver. Traders in precious metals are seeing both gold and silver plummet significantly as the week kicks off, with gold down nearly 7% and silver down 8% over the past 24 hours. Worse, gold has now fallen nearly 20% since its all-time high of over $5,586 in January. Silver is down even more, falling more than 44% since its all-time high earlier this year of over $121. Here’s what you need to know.The ‘safe haven’ trade is absentSilver and especially gold are generally considered “safe haven” assets—assets investors turn to when economic uncertainty…

The U.S. economy was supposed to start the year with a bang, fueled by an unusually large jump in tax refunds from President Donald Trump’s tax cut legislation. Yet spiking gas prices are on track to eat up those refunds, leaving most Americans with little extra to spend.“Next spring is projected to be the largest tax refund season of all time,” Trump said in a prime-time speech in December that was intended to address voters’ concerns about the economy and stubbornly high prices.But that was before the Iran war, which began Feb. 28. Oil and gas prices have soared since…
