Condor Technology to Fly "Cuzco" RISC-V CPU into the Datacenter

news.ycombinator.com Jeffrey Burt 2025-09-15 16:48:01

Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. It is not clear that the companies that make custom CPUs and XPUs are saving money, but they are certainly gaining control and that is worth something. Arm made a push based on the power-efficient nature its architecture, and Nvidia has become a key player in AI with its powerful GPUs and now its “Grace” Arm server CPUs.

Nvidia Just Suffered a Huge Blow in China

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-18 04:04:35

For years, the Chinese tech industry has been dependent on the US and its allies for the advanced semiconductors — colloquially known as "chips" — that undergird the AI industry. As the "AI race" has heated up to a fever pitch, chips have become its chief commodity — and bottleneck, as companies compete to build out the infrastructure they believe will run a multi-trillion dollar market. At the moment, the undisputed leader in AI chips is Nvidia, which has rocketed it from modestly-sized gamin

One Token to rule them all – Obtaining Global Admin in every Entra ID tenant

news.ycombinator.com Dirk-Jan Mollema 2025-09-18 04:03:21

While preparing for my Black Hat and DEF CON talks in July of this year, I found the most impactful Entra ID vulnerability that I will probably ever find. This vulnerability could have allowed me to compromise every Entra ID tenant in the world (except probably those in national cloud deployments). If you are an Entra ID admin reading this, yes that means complete access to your tenant.

Yesterday, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into Tesla following a report by Bloomberg that its electric door handles could stop working when a vehicle's low-voltage battery fails. That created a safety hazard that the publication found could trap passengers when a Tesla car was in an emergency situation, such as a crash. Now, Bloomberg is back with the news that Tesla plans to redesign those problematic handles. Tesla design head Franz von Holzhause
