Dolce Vita
Elior Collegiate Dining is WVU's new food service partner (having taken over in July 2025 when the university ended its contract with Sodexo). It manages 'global nutrition experiences' across all WVU campuses. The collaboration operates under the name WVU Hospitality Group and, presumably, more effective than student run coffee spots; less the charming inefficiencies of student run cafe's.
Infotech 400
Today we break down the literature for building, maintaining and supporting the computing infrastructure of education communities. We use the term "infotech" gingerly to explain action in best practice discovery for a broad span of technologies that encompass enterprise servers and software, wireless and wired networks, campus phone networks, that provide engineering and administrative services for middleware needed in education and research.
“Whatever It Is, I’m Against It”
We collect our work in standards, codes and regulations informing the artificial intelligence zietgeist.
Innovation and Competitiveness in Artificial Intelligence
The International Trade Administration requests comments on trends in the global artificial intelligence market. Responses will provide clarity about stakeholder concerns regarding policies, regulations, and other measures which may impact the policy administration by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Quadrivium: Spring
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. Titles are time-sensitive, copyright protected and land in public law. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
print(“Python”)
Python is an open-source programming language that enables applications across a wide range of domains; not the least of which are artificial intelligence platforms. In real asset facility management it is the "glue code" that binds the Internet of Things and Large Language Models. The stable version of Python 3.14.5 was released for public use on May 10th.
Artificial Intelligence
Under development now (20% completed): Standard 594 will describe a framework for managing the unique risks to public safety and security from frontier AI models and systems. It will focus on managing risks that can materialize with such scale, severity, velocity and irreversibility that they necessitate more specialized or extensive risk management approaches than those specified in existing AI risk management standards.
Current Issues & Recent Research
We are tooling up for the NFPA 2029 National Electrical Code Technical Committee Meetings in September and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society Meetings in October.
Bias and Fairness in Large Language Models
Today at the usual hour we sort through the literature on the stabilization of American English as the de-facto "Language of the Internet" and the Artificial Intelligence zietgeist.
