Huawei claims that they can reach 1.4nm by 2031. Does that mean EUV is no longer required for this process?

For the first time, it introduced native sparse attention into the full training process, achieving up to 11× inference speedup while maintaining model performance.

LLaSA is a simple framework for speech synthesis that employs a single-layer vector quantizer (VQ) codec and a single Transformer architecture to fully align with standard LLMs such as LLaMA.

I don’t quite understand why OpenAI would pay so much when there’s a solid open-source alternative like Cline. I tried both, and feel that Cline with DeepSeek v3 is comparable to Cursor and more cost-effective.

If it achieves its goal of both “safe” and “super intelligence”, it may have commercial value. e.g. enterprises may want to use it instead of, e.g. OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Think of recent AirCanada’s chatbot law suit.

One of the most popular HSM is Thales Luna Network HSM, which can perform 20,000 ECC operations per second [1]. Even with the size of Azure AD, Microsoft may not need a lot of HSMs for signing purpose. HSMs are not particularly easy to manage though, maybe that is one of reasons they are not used as much as they should be.

For modern CPU, is microcode still used for division or there are better and faster alternatives?

The article doesn’t mention whether SQLite WAL mode is on. That could make SQLite significantly faster: https://sqlite.org/wal.html

Oracle’s ownership of MySQL AB seems to have negative impact on its development. My concern, which is also raised in the article, is whether similar things will happen to Postgresql.

What programming languages does it support? I couldn’t find out from the press release.

It is helpful to know the internals of SHA-2. It helps to make sense of the "Length Extension Attack" [1] on this kind of hash function construction.

The social media walled garden - quite a few people I know rarely use a browser or don't even know how to use it. They get their news mostly from their social media apps, and they have a hard time spotting fake news. It is much easier to censor content in a social network than the open internet. People live in their bubble and are not exposed to different opinions and ideas.

> Trying to appreciate mathematics without understanding its inner workings is like reading a description of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony instead of hearing it.

I personally feel J.S. Bach would be a better metaphor here.

This article [1] describes the features in 1.15. The new linker is quite impressive in reducing executable size because it reduces more unused code:

For more realistic programs, binary sizes go down by 3.5% or as much as 22%.

The original linker was written by Ken Thompson, who is now retired.
