Go Assembly Mutation Testing

While maintaining and developing the Go cryptography standard library, we often spend significantly more time on testing than on implementation. That’s good and an important part of how we achieve our excellent security track record. Ideally, this would be especially true for the least safe parts of the library. However, testing assembly cores presents unique challenges, due to their constant-time nature. This has been a long-standing issue. For Go 1.26, I am working on introducing a mutation

Google has introduced a new AI model called AlphaEarth Foundations that it says can function like a "virtual satellite." The model uses a system called "embedding," which works by taking big volumes of pubic information from various sources every day, such as optical satellites, radars and climate simulations, and then combining them all together.

Integrating an electronic material that exhibits a strange property called negative capacitance can help high-power gallium nitride transistors break through a performance barrier, say scientists in California. Research published in Science suggests that negative capacitance helps sidestep a physical limit that typically enforces trade-offs between how well a transistor performs in the “on” state versus how well it does in the “off” state.
