Submission + - The world's tallest chip defies the limits of computing: goodbye to Moore's Law? (elpais.com) 1

Xiaohang Li, a researcher at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, and his team have designed a chip with 41 vertical layers of semiconductors and insulating materials, approximately ten times higher than any previously manufactured chip. The work, recently published in the journal Nature Electronics, not only represents a technical milestone but also opens the door to a new generation of flexible, efficient, and sustainable electronic devices. “Having six or more layers of transistors stacked vertically allows us to increase circuit density without making the devices smaller laterally,” Li explains. “With six layers, we can integrate 600% more logic functions in the same area than with a single layer, achieving higher performance and lower power consumption.”

...is more Hybrid choices. The Ford Fusion Hybrid was one of the best cars I ever owned. Low maintenance, reliable and phenomenal gas mileage. For me to do an EV, I'd have to invest in new service and electrical work to my home. There aren't many charging options in my area. And I think that there's a whole lot of people like me in the market. I feel like hybrid cars/trucks never really got developed further when E came out with the Tesla. Car companies jumped all over the market and moved on from other technologies that worked NOW for a larger market segment.

I suspect he doesn't know about - or thinks most people don't know about - ad blockers, and so offering a browser that has more relevant ads will attract people who hate the irrelevant ads but figure they're unavoidable.

Obviously, for those of us who are smart about adblocking, who almost never see ads we don't agree to see, it's stupid.

But shockingly, there are probably plenty of people who will happily sign up for that "improved" experience.

You know, you make good arguments, except they're irrelevant to this case.
The police used the DNA markers found from testing the blood left in knife sheath and found a strong connection to the defendant's father using those databases.
Once the connection was established, they did a cheek swab test and the DNA found on the knife sheath on the crime scene was confirmed to be his.

I'd say that was pretty good detective work, and anything but circumstantial.
