  • “While CRQCs certainly do pose a threat to blockchain-based technologies based on classical ECC algorithms, they are just one of many systems in our modern world that need to transition quickly to PQC,” LaMacchia said, referring to post-quantum cryptography. “Especially when reading some of the policy proposals at the end of the white paper, I am just dumbfounded that Google is focused on policy frameworks for solving problems that seem unique to the cryptocurrency space (e.g., salvaged digital assets) and not the general threat that CRQC pose to all our systems that use public-key cryptography.”

    Sounds like they are trying to suck up to the current US administration.

    Countries and societies that value liberal democracy and believe in freedom (in the real sense, not the American polemical sense) really need to get rid of all American technology services and platforms.






  • “Our roles: All Global Engineering roles will evolve. The focus will shift from ‘AI as a tool used on occasion’ to ‘AI automation as a way to scale the delivery of value to customers.’ Our associates’ skillsets will grow as they become proficient in these tools.”

    The “scale the delivery of value to customer” phrase is a massive red flag, it means they have no fucking clue what they are doing. If they did, they would be more clear about their thinking and reasoning and not use PR speak.

    They do provide some more specifics that are quoted later in the article, but it still sounds like they haven’t really thought this through:

    The next few paragraphs of the memo are oddly repetitive. First, it says: “To lead in this era, we must evolve our operating model. The gap we face today isn’t just technical – it’s organizational. Today, we are beginning our transition to an Agentic Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to transform how Global Engineering and Products deliver.”

    “‘All-in’ product scope: We aren’t looking for a single scrum team to experiment in a vacuum. To avoid bottlenecks, we will move entire products or sub-products to this model simultaneously.” Scrum is a reference to the Agile development model, about which The Register’s Rupert Goodwins expressed reservations back in 2024.
















  • GeForce “Rubin” will be built on some variant of the current TSMC 3 nm FinFET node. They need not be the same N3 node that’s in use by Apple, Intel, and others; and NVIDIA might collaborate with TSMC on an exclusive variant just the way it created the NVIDIA 4N node, derived from TSMC N5.

    I will speculate power efficiency will be at worst roughly equal to the 5000 series on a SKU class basis (5060 to 6060 and so on), most likely we will see efficiency gains at the SKU class level.

    There was a big jump between the 3000 and 4000 series as Nvidia went from Samsung 8 NM to TSMC 4N for the 4000 series.

    Both the 4000 and 5000 series were on the same TSMC 4N node.

    For the 6000 series we are expecting some sort of new TSMC node (a variant of 3NM), so I would expect efficiency (at the SKU class level) to improve or at worst stay the same.
