[SINGAPORE] The outlook for the structural advantage of US dollar assets looks to be relatively stable at present, said Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) chief Chia Der Jiun at the Qatar Economic Forum on Tuesday (May 20).

On May 16, Moody’s downgraded the US’ credit rating from “AAA” – the highest rank for credit reliability – to “AA1”, citing rising fiscal deficits and higher interest payments. Moody’s was the…
When the AAWireless TWO launched towards the end of last year, the company announced that it featured significant improvements over the original, with a multifunctional button, a redesigned companion app, and a body that was 30% smaller than the original. As someone who owns it, I can tell you that it is quite good at what it does. However, at that initial launch, a promise of a follow-up TWO+ version with Apple Carplay support was confirmed to be on the way in a matter of months, making the purchase of the TWO an awkward one unless folks decided they would…

[WASHINGTON] US President Donald Trump on Friday (May 23) signed orders meant to accelerate the construction of nuclear power plants, including small, untested designs that offer the promise of rapid deployment but have not yet been built in the US.The effort is a bid to meet a coming surge in electricity demand and help the US reclaim its edge in nuclear energy. While the country was once the leader in deploying and producing nuclear power, it’s finished building only two new reactors in the last 30 years and shuttered existing plants, even as China and Russia race to deploy them. Trump’s…
Artificial intelligence (AI) relies on vast amounts of data. Enterprises that take on AI projects, especially for large language models (LLMs) and generative AI (GenAI), need to capture large volumes of data for model training as well as to store outputs from AI-enabled systems. That data, however, is unlikely to be in a single system or location. Customers will draw on multiple data sources, including structured data in databases and often unstructured data. Some of these information sources will be on-premises and others in the cloud. To deal with AI’s hunger for data, system architects need to look at…

[SINGAPORE] For some young Singaporeans, grainy low-resolution photographs have become a coveted aesthetic – and the outdated cameras that create them are a hot commodity. Just as older hipsters had a penchant for vintage film cameras, today’s 20-somethings are bringing digital compact cameras back into popularity. Known colloquially as digicams, these were all the rage in the 2000s, but fell out of favour when smartphones overtook them a decade or so later. But in the last three years, these devices have made a comeback, thanks to the Gen Zs who are drawn to their “Y2K” turn-of-the-millennium vibe and vintage aesthetic.Phoebe…
