vibe coding

This isn’t a deep article. I only want to help head off possible confusion over this term. I have recently seen “vibe coding” pop up in discussions around AI for code generation. The name is media-friendly giving it some stickiness in the larger non-technical world, always a concern when it comes to anything AI. The original intent… Read More

John Maire SemiWiki

– Lam put up good numbers but H2 outlook was flat with unknown 2026
– China remains high & exposed at 35% of biz while US is a measly 6%
– Unclear if this is peak, pause, digestion, technology or normal cycle
– Coupled with ASML soft outlook & stock run ups means profit taking

Nice quarter but expected

Formal Verification: Why It Matters for Post-Quantum Cryptography
by Daniel Nenni on 08-01-2025 at 10:00 am

Formal Verification Why does it matter for PQC

Formal verification is becoming essential in the design and implementation of cryptographic systems, particularly as the industry prepares for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). While traditional testing techniques validate correctness over a finite set of scenarios, formal verification uses mathematical proofs to guarantee… Read More
