LSEG Workspace as the Central Spreadsheet Grid for Eurodollars

LSEG Workspace is a giant live spreadsheet that organizes the eurodollar system into cells and formulas. Treasuries and Fed rates are the anchor cells. Repo, FX swaps, and offshore deposits are formula-driven references.

Excel vs. Java: Two Languages, Two Worlds of Thought: Symbolic Grid vs. Algorithmic Script

Excel and Java embody two distinct computing traditions — the grid-born, spatial logic of accounting versus the engineered, algorithmic logic of software — each transformed the world in its own domain.

Digital Disruption in the Film Industry – Part 4: Generative AI for Video Synthesis

AI can now take text prompts and generate full-motion video, thanks to a new class of models called text-to-video generative AI. These models interpret natural language descriptions and produce short video clips with varying levels of realism and coherence. These instruction sets guide the AI’s generation and synthesis of “tokens” – data points that are combined into the visual sequence through various algorithmic processes.

AI and Government: Concerns Shaped from Classic Public Administration Writings

Drawing on the classics of public administration, we can start to specify some constraints and goals for artificial intelligence (AI) and develop a “smart” but ethical government that is efficient but also responsive to public concerns.

AI Governance and the Public Management of Transportation

Pennings, A.J. (2025, […]

Connecting a Dangerous World: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and National Concerns

BGP connects the world by enabling communication and cooperation among autonomous systems, ensuring that data packets can traverse the vast and interconnected network of networks that make up the Internet. It bridges separate, but networked ASes such as campuses, companies, and countries. BGP works to ensure that data packets originating from one location can cross over between ISPs and other WANS (Wide Area Networks) to reach their destination anywhere else on the planet.

Google: Monetizing the Automatrix – Rerun

As we move towards the “Automatrix,” the newly forming digital environment for self-driving and wireless charging transportation, Google looks to situate its search/advertising business at its center.

Digital Borders and Authoritarianism

The enforcement of digital borders by authoritarian regimes in the modern era represents a significant challenge to global norms of free expression, access to information, and human rights. As regimes continue to develop and refine their methods of control, the international community must navigate the delicate balance between respecting national sovereignty and advocating for digital freedoms.
