Top Story
- Researchers have created logic gates with a switching rate measured in petahertz. (New Atlas)
That's a million gigahertz. Or a billion megahertz. Whichever.
The gates are currently completely impractical, but extremely fast.
- Taiwan has restricted CPUs shipped to Russia and Belarus to speeds of 25MHz. (Tom's Hardware)
Or 5 GFLOPs, whichever comes first. I don't think there are any chips running at 25MHz that exceed 5 GFLOPs, but I could be wrong.
25MHz, by the way, is 0.000000025 petahertz.
- Intel is looking to grow RISC-V to Zettascale. (Tom's Hardware)
1 zettaFLOPs is 1,000,000,000,000 gigaFLOPs.
Tech News
- A former product manager at OpenSea has been charged with insider trading. (Bleeping Computer)
Of ugly monkey JPEGs, which are a scam in the first place.
- Connecticut is hiring a meme analysts for $150k per year. (Popular Science)
Wonder if the artist formerly known as Kiryu Coco can fit this into her busy schedule.
- Qualcomm wants to buy a stake in Arm. (Ars Technica)
The purchase by Nvidia foundered on regulatory issues, but they could reappear as part of a consortium with other major Arm customers.
- Changes to IPv4 private address ranges could free up 400 million IP addresses and also break a whole lot of stuff. (The Regoster_
If you're using the 240/4 range as private addresses, you could be in for a bad time.

Pixy, is there a BBCode help page that covers the version of Minx running at Ace? The guide here at your site has tags that don't seem to work over there, like "quote" in square brackets.
What I'd like to accomplish (both at the same time if possible):
1. A tag to avoid parsing any of my comment as smilies. Maybe the "pre" tag would work for this?
2. The ability to clearly mark quoted text as that so it's visually different from what I'm following up with. I've been using the italics tag ("i").

Gate delay is one of the things that restricts the clock speeds of all those homebrew 8-bit CPUs people have been building lately.
