    MINUTE READ) [4]=20

    SK Hynix is in exploratory talks wi=
    th Intel over a deal that would
    have it manufacture memory chips in the U=
    S for the first time, with
    one scenario having it lease part of Intel's l=
    ong-delayed Ohio campus
    and another forming a joint venture with Intel an=
    d major cloud
    providers to lock in steady memory supply. Intel's Ohio sit=
    e,
    announced back in 2022 at up to $100 billion, has slipped to a
    2030-=
    2031 start, so landing SK Hynix as a tenant would give Intel's
    foundry bu=
    siness exactly the marquee customer it's been chasing, while
    giving SK Hy=
    nix a way to actually produce chips domestically rather
    than just package=
    them, as it's already doing at its $4 billion
    Indiana facility under con=
    struction.=20

    =
    Onsemi's new Embedded Power Platform (EPP) builds power components
    direct=
    ly into the silicon itself, wiring them together with precisely
    etched la=
    yers instead of the usual wire bonds, which cuts electrical
    losses and le=
    ts the parts switch faster. The idea is to design the
    electrical, thermal=
    , and mechanical sides of a power system together
    from day one instead of=
    separately, since treating them as separate
    problems has been forcing ex=
    pensive redesigns late in development as

    graphics work aren't where the RISC-V
    lives - it's in a collective of sma=

    clocking, memory, security, and other h=
    ousekeeping, with Nvidia VP
    Frans Sijstermans confirming each GPU packs 1=
    0 to 40 of them depending
    on the model. Users can't program these cores d=
    irectly, and they're

    f-Experts models keep growing capacity by adding more
    experts, but even a=
    fter quantization, the full expert pool still
    dwarfs consumer RAM and VRA=

Intel's Ohio site, announced=

    Onsemi's new Embedded Power Platform (E= PP) builds power components directly into the silicon itself, wiring them t= ogether with precisely etched layers instead of the usual wire bonds, which=
    cuts electrical losses and lets the parts switch faster. The idea is to de= sign the electrical, thermal, and mechanical sides of a power system togeth=
    er from day one instead of separately, since treating them as separate prob= lems has been forcing expensive redesigns late in development as devices de= mand more power in less space.

    Every 3D asset in a robot simulator car= ries two geometries - a visual mesh for rendering and a coarser collision m= esh for physics - a legitimate gap since matching them exactly is too expen= sive. This paper shows that gap is exploitable: an attacker can alter only = the collision mesh, so a policy trained on the poisoned asset looks and beh= aves normally in simulation, then fails or creates real safety risks once d= eployed. It slips past existing checks entirely, since asset review covers = malware, copyright, and format, but nothing verifies visual-collision consi= stency, and the researchers found the defenses they tested weren't enough t=
