    Chip headwinds: The rise of bad AI.

    This is a good paper on Intel's Total Memory Encryption. I used to work with the author. He's very good. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/central-libraries/us/en/documents/2022-10/intel-total-memory-encryption-multi-key-whitepaper.pdf

    US doesn't welcome foreign talents as Trump bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students anymore

    Maybe, but without data you're no better than Trump. ;)

    US doesn't welcome foreign talents as Trump bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students anymore

    Our sons did that too. It's also a great hack for getting tough undergrad courses taught by experts who want to teach (e.g. calculus, chemistry, physics, etc), rather than grad students who sometimes view teaching assignments in large classrooms as indentured servitude (like where I went to...

    US doesn't welcome foreign talents as Trump bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students anymore

    That's ridiculous. Even Trump must know he can't make a nation of followers in three years by just curbing university admissions. Why do you think he's issuing executive orders every week? He knows he's a short timer, and like Putin and Jinping wants a historical legacy. He certainly has...

    US doesn't welcome foreign talents as Trump bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students anymore

    No. Harvard is a private university. What Dan described only applies to state university systems.

    US doesn't welcome foreign talents as Trump bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students anymore

    I'm not thinking that. I think there would just be fewer administrators and fewer showpiece capital projects, because state university systems are subject to legislative agendas. Voters don't seem to care broadly enough about foreign and out of state students taking slots. They should, but...

    US doesn't welcome foreign talents as Trump bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students anymore

    Out of state US students too. In my long experience with state universities, their admission priorities remind me of airline seating priorities. You pay more if you want seating priority.

    US doesn't welcome foreign talents as Trump bars Harvard from enrolling foreign students anymore

    The title of this thread is nonsense. The Trump Administration's cultural battle with Harvard and a few other universities is not indicative of a general US policy of excluding foreign students. Watching this pathetic battle play out, I'm pretty disappointed in the targeted universities. What...

    Inside OpenAI's Stargate Megafactory with Sam Altman (Video)

    Because highly regarded "experts" like Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google, and PhD computer scientist with a long history in the industry) who has been pushing multiple US presidential administrations to think that AI can be used for weapons development, including nuclear and biological. One...

    High NA EUV Equipment is Bound to be a Burden for Chipmakers

    After I read the article, I tried to imagine @Fred Chen trying to explain the tougher challenges with stochastic effects to the author. (I chuckled a little.)

    High NA EUV Equipment is Bound to be a Burden for Chipmakers

    Mainstream press semi-advertising article (pun intended) for ASML High NA. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/exclusive-look-at-high-na-asmls-new-400-million-chipmaking-colossus.html

    TSMC to White House: You Want US-Made Chips? Knock It Off With the Tariffs

    Land area means nothing. England used to be the richest and most powerful country on the planet.

    Chipmaker TSMC is booming, but its factory near Portland is at a low point

    I've never believed this quote, though I've seen it in multiple articles. If true, it isn't naiveté, this is profound incompetence, realized as a lack of research and investigation into US costs, which a high school student could do. I just don't believe it.

    Intel is Moore than a Company — it is a Mission

    This is the latest estimate I've read, though all of the estimates of anyone's net worth are probably inaccurate, and the probability and range of inaccuracy almost certainly increase with the wealth of the person in question.

    Chip headwinds: The rise of bad AI.

    I understand that these vulnerability discoveries bring a lot of attention to the researchers who find them. But I can't escape the impression that these vulnerabilities are being blown out of proportion for press attention. The attacker needs to get the malware into the target system(s), know...

    Microsoft to lay off 3% of workforce, CNBC reports

    AI can currently write what I would call simplistic code, but for OS use, complex applications, networking, HPC, storage subsystems, etc, I'm not impressed yet. Either is anyone I've talked to who I consider to be an expert software engineer. And then there's being expert enough to know when...

    Amazon Acquires $84.4 Million Stake In AMD Amid AI Chip Expansion, Export Controls

    Amazon Acquires $84.4 Million Stake In AMD Amid AI Chip Expansion, Export Controls

    Amazon's AI chips are cheaper than AMDs, for sure, but comparing the specs of the Tranium2 to AMD's MI325X, and the MI355 has already been announced, the MI325X looks a lot more capable in every way. I suspect that for leading edge LLM training, Amazon does not have sufficient volumes to...

    What are the dangers of AI?

    Why is it that agentic AI and quantum computing attract such bold predictions (e.g. full autonomy in a matter of a few years), when today neither field is demonstrating impressive results? I'm amused how the spellchecker software here flags "agentic" as a spelling error. :rolleyes:
