Enterprise AI company Cohere has signed a letter of intent to acquire AISLE, a firm focused on cyber-resilient sovereign AI. The deal signals growing demand from governments and large institutions for AI infrastructure they can control and secure entirely within their own borders, without depending on foreign cloud providers.
On the database side, engineers at DBOS have published a deep dive into why DELETE operations in Postgres can quietly become a scaling nightmare, and more importantly, how to fix that. The piece walks through how Postgres handles dead rows and vacuuming, and offers concrete strategies for teams whose applications delete data at high volume without grinding to a halt.
And in a genuinely interesting detour from the tech stack, a Substack essay is asking why humans have spent centuries farming cows but still largely hunt wild fish rather than raising them at scale. It turns out the answer touches on biology, economics, and the surprising difficulty of domesticating ocean ecosystems, a trade-off story that resonates well beyond agriculture.
That's what's moving today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
