They had to power to hurt Israel, but after 2 large scale attacks Israel decided to take it away from them.

Iran attacked Israel directly twice, they are the ones which both escalated and miscalculated their position in the region.

It’s because it’s one of the only things that effectively can hit Israel.

They release the submunitions at much higher altitudes than they were intended so they spread across a much larger area and thus ineffective at hitting anything other than an urban target.

But on the plus side for the Iranians they separate outside of the interception envelope of even the exo atmospheric interceptors Israel has so they actually get through even if each sub munition is only a nuance at best.

You can embed parity and error recovery bits in a one way stream.

This is how one way fiber optic connections for air gapped systems work.

Uplink alone can be significant for clandestine operations.

You can have a stealth drone which is effectively invisible to SIGINT transmitting real time intelligence to a satellite whilst either operating autonomously or receiving commands via a wide area encrypted broadcast (yes I know you can theoretically detect receivers through signal attenuation but at these distances it’s effectively impossible to do).

Can’t speak for the OP but I do the same because the screen is bigger and you don’t have to look down as much and strain your neck.

You don’t need CNCs for that you need a decent laser, the laminates used are super thin and either laser cut or stamped you can’t reliably machine them anyhow workholding would be near impossible.

With FPGA you are sacrificing performance for flexibility you are far less efficient in transistors for any given task than with a dedicated ASIC even if it’s a general compute ASIC like a GPU is today.

The reason no one is building large FPGAs is that there is no market for them.

If an H200 scale FPGA was viable we would have one.

They are moving to angstroms, hence 18A for example.

The 11.5 isn’t the raw bom for the sticks that’s the cost of the dies.

Not really new, this is 80’s-90’s Neuron MOS Transistor.

It’s also not that different than how TPUs work where they have special registers in their PEs for weights.

FPGAs would be less efficient than GPUs.

FPGAs don’t scale if they did all GPUs would’ve been replaced by FPGAs for graphics a long time ago.

You use an FPGA when spinning a custom ASIC doesn’t makes financial sense and generic processor such as a CPU or GPU is overkill.

Arguably the middle ground here are TPUs, just taking the most efficient parts of a “GPU” when it comes to these workloads but still relying on memory access in every step of the computation.

Because that’s just the price for the dies, still need packaging, integration and then retail distribution. Also raw BOM is like 1/5th of the retail price usually.

There are some innovation like hydrogen paste but it’s not going to be useful for a combustion engine cycle.

Heinz is supplying ICE with condiments.

Not in the free version

No shellcode decoding, no plugin support and rather limited IR.

BN is nice if someone is paying for it, but has too many limitations especially for the most common use case which is security.

We went to prison in the mid 2000’s for soliciting under aged girls for prostitution so any relationship since then cannot really claim ignorance.

They can already do… pretty much any organization uses a VPN or “ZTNA” to provide access to resources so they know where you are.

Mailbox encryption is near pointless since at the least it needs to be encrypted at both ends not to mention relays.

For email each individual message should be encrypted if you want any confidentiality and even then the meta data is in the clear.

And this is because in order to send or receive an email the provider needs to access it. If they put it into a box later on to which they do not hold the key that is just security theater at that point.

Apple can recover your keys also unless you enable ADP.

With MSFT cloud backup of keys is an opt-in. With Apple it’s an opt-out.

You can enable ADP (unless you’re in the UK) and then they can’t recover the key either. But the risk then is that if you lose the device your data is gone for good (unless you have a backup and that opens you up for a whole other list of potential threats).

The main threat model here is a stolen/lost device or an unscrupulous repair shop not a government agency with a warrant.

You also do not have to backup keys in the cloud, however for most users it’s the best solution since for them data recovery in case of a hardware failure is more important than resiliency against state level adversaries.

Both of them are doing it under pressure from the US to reduce how much debt they owe.

Many of these securities do not have a secondary market that isn’t in the US. Push comes to shove the US can block a lot of these trades.

Ok, but that doesn’t answer the question how do you cash out on $8 trillion dollars and convert them into another currency.

They don’t have a choice, they sell they get back dollars. What are they going to swap 8 trillion dollars into? And an even better question how?

$8 trillion is about half the M3 of the Euro.

In fact there are only about 20 trillion dollars right now, there isn’t even enough liquidity to cash out.

Market share can shrink but if the TAM is growing you can still grow.

That is the point.

New discoveries don’t happen in a vacuum.

Not really, QM and Relativity were chosen because they were theories that were created to fit observations and data. Discoveries over the next 5 years will be trivia rather than logical conclusions.
