If Michigan’s skill-position players lined up at the goal line and ran a 100-yard sprint, he probably wouldn’t win. He entered this season in the shadow of Donovan Edwards, the star of last year’s national championship game, and wasn’t mentioned among the best running backs in the Big Ten.Late in the fourth quarter against USC, with Michigan running out of ideas to revive a comatose offense, the Wolverines finally landed on something…

It’s time for some of my reflections on a week in San Francisco talking to dozens of executives and workers in tech. It was a grueling trip, but a necessary one, because we are at a pivotal time when it comes to the revolution of artificial intelligence and accelerated computing. AI gets talked about a lot as it’s considered something that all companies have to be thinking about. Accelerated computing makes generative AI possible — and yet, it gets very little attention. There is no debate about AI. It must be implemented, in some form, by every company. But there…
