Let’s say your software needs to be deployed and maintained in the cloud – which is kind of an obvious move these days – but you don’t necessarily want to be bothered with managing servers and all the other technicalities it involves. Well, you are absolutely right – after all, the software is supposed to serve you, not the other way round. So, instead of dealing with all the issues (which according to any corporate dictionary is just a fancier word for “problems”), it makes perfect sense to get it done once and for all, and, most importantly, get it done right – with minimal effort on your part! That’s exactly what the Platform as a Service from PCSS is designed for. The offering, called in short simply PaaS, is delivered in the form of a managed container platform. To learn more about this thoughtfully designed solution, just sit back, relax and enjoy Błażej Oczkowski’s conversation with Michał Zimniewicz – a highly regarded specialist in online services and cloud platforms, who will explain why it actually is worth your attention and how it’s going to save your effort, time and money.

30 years ago, in order to read an ancient manuscript there was no other option but to visit the library which had it in its collection. Nowadays you can study such documents without leaving the confines of your bedroom – as long as you have a laptop or even just a smartphone, manuscripts of all kinds are just a few clicks away. It’s possible thanks to digitization – but what exactly is this phenomenon and why is it so important for the future generations? You will find the answers to those questions in Karolina Michalak’s conversation with Arleta Piwowarczyk, who represents Digital Libraries and Knowledge Platforms Department at the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center.

Even though artificial intelligence entered our lives quite recently, it has already managed to settle in for good, making impact on both private and business routines of ours. We have become recipients of the content AI generates, but at the same time also initiators, or perhaps even architects, of its creations. Whether we’re looking for information, advice or perhaps we just want to create a fun picture, online chats based on large language models (LLMs) work perfectly for those purposes. No wonder then, that we also use artificial intelligence in our professional lives to make our work more efficient. But is this really a good solution?

Do you remember the time when computer keyboards took over from typewriters while paper sheets and ledgers were replaced by word processors and spreadsheets respectively? Let’s not forget about Clippy – the virtual assistant who popped up with tips to help us navigate those tools. These days, Clippy’s role has been taken over by far more sophisticated language models – the face of AI most of us have already got used to.
