Q.ANT raises €62M to transform the future of computing with photonic processing
Germany-based Q.ANT, a pioneer in photonic processing, has secured €62 million Series A financing round to accelerate the commercialisation of its energy-efficient photonic processors for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC).  As AI infrastructure scales globally, traditional chip technology (CMOS) reaches its physical limits, performance stagnates, and electricity demand is reaching untenable levels. According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA…

Memoirs of the CP/M creator released:
“Our father, Gary Kildall, was one of the founders of the personal computer industry, but you probably don’t know his name. Those who have heard of him may recall the myth that he ‘missed’ the opportunity to become Bill Gates by going flying instead of meeting with IBM. Unfortunately, this tall tale paints Gary as a ‘could-have-been,’ ignores his deep contributions, and overshadows his role as an inventor of key technologies that define how compute…

In His Own Words: Gary Kildall
Gary Kildall was a pioneer of personal computer software. He wrote programming language tools, including assemblers (Intel 4004), interpreters (BASIC), and compilers (PL/M). He created a widely-used disk operating system (CP/M). He and his wife, Dorothy McEwen, started a successful company called Digital Research to develop and market CP/M, which for years was the dominant operating system for personal microcomputers. Thousands of programs were written to run under it, and a million or more peo…

Earlier this week, Peter Gutmann and @… published a bombshell paper: The looked at all the reported factorization "breakthroughs" in quantum computing. And found that all of them essentially were magician's tricks, "sleight of hand".
The two reconstructed the algorithms used on a 1981 home computer (a million times less powerful than what you…
