Fox News Books Gives Fox News Authors a Path to the Best-Seller List
A debut novel is the latest in an unbroken string of hits written — and promoted — by the network’s stars. Is that a raw deal for other conservative imprints?

A Novel Mutation Based Method for Detecting FPGA Logic Synthesis Tool Bugs
FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) logic synthesis tools are key components in the EDA (Electronic Design Automation) toolchain. They convert hardware designs written in description languages such as Verilog into gate-level representations for FPGAs. However, defects in these tools may lead to unexpected behaviors and pose security risks. Therefore, it is crucial to harden these tools through testing. Although several methods have been proposed to automatically test FPGA logic synthesis tools…

Time for authors to get off Audible (and ideally Amazon as well) before you'll find yourself trapped in a death spiral.
And yes, I know how hard that would hit most. But if Amazon is able to destroy competitors, nothing will stop them from exploiting you even more.

Hmm I hope my builders aren't about to be raptured, our kitchen currently looks like this and if they get whisked off to heaven I'll end up having to get Nick Knowles in to fix things up on DIY SOS.

Aaand here's what 1V0 looks like with a coaxial probe soldered directly across the bottom of the BGA.
Amazing what a difference you can get probing at a slightly different spot in the PDN.
The high frequency spikes are completely gone, 7.7 mV p-p and 1 mV RMS ripple. Still dominated by 125 MHz from the digital core of the PHYs.

This whole opinion, while well-meaning and bringing up generally good points (we humans can decide what technology we research and how we use it)—misses the point: there will not be an “AGI” that derives from current “AI” technology.
What the “AI” companies are proposing and the media is accepting at face value is like saying ever more realistic graphics in computer games will suddenly reach some threshold and the graphics will become the real world.
It’s nonsense.
