- Intel has entered "risk production" on its new 18A process. (Tom's Hardware)
That's 18 angstroms - 1.8 nanometers - in case you were wondering. Though it's just marketing; nothing about the process measures 18 angstroms.
Risk production is when a new process seems to work, but nobody has used it in volume yet. Hence the risk.
Intel cancelled its planed 20A process, so this will be the first time we see new features like gate-all-around transistors from them.

- ARM plans to grow its datacenter market share from 15% to 50%. (Tom's Hardware)
This year.
Which is comical.
- The 13 laws of software engineering. (Manager.dev)
Most of them apply to other schools of engineering as well.
- A judge has blocked Arkansas' online age verification law for infringing on free speech and being overbroad. (Engadget)
Such laws are not intrinsically bad, but in the US they must thread the needle of the Bill of Rights. So far all have failed.
In Australia we just got a similar law. Nobody has yet said how it will be enforced. Obviously it will infringe on free speech, but the government thinks that's just great and the main opposition party doesn't think it goes far enough.
