One of the main drivers of Turkey’s defence industry became the target of a deadly attack on Wednesday afternoon. The assault on state-run Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) has killed at least five and injured 22. It came a day after an unprecedented statement from a Turkish nationalist leader about the possibility of a renewed peace process with the country’s outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). The group – considered a “terrorist” group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union – has been fighting a 40-year-long rebellion against the Turkish state.

Nvidia’s Blackwell AI chip, the same one that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said had “insane” demand, is now free of a design error that caused a production delay.According to a Wednesday Reuters report, Huang said that the design mistake “was 100% Nvidia’s fault.””We had a design flaw in Blackwell,” he stated. “It was functional, but the design flaw caused the yield to be low.” He specified the nature of the problem, stating that “in order to make a Blackwell computer work, seven different types of chips were designed from scratch and had to be ramped into production at the same…
Using DNA for data storage just got much more efficientErkmen Design/Alamy DNA has been used for years to store data, but encoding information into the molecule is painstaking work. Now, researchers have drastically sped it up by mimicking a natural biological process that drives gene expression. This could lead to durable, do-it-yourself DNA data storage technologies. Even though a single gram of DNA can store hundreds of millions of gigabytes of data, the technology to make use of this isn’t yet fully viable. This is partly because the process of encoding data in DNA requires that each molecule be synthesised…
A racist comment former President Donald Trump is reported to have made about murdered soldier Vanessa Guillén is drawing backlash from some Hispanics, but it could be tempered by her sister’s support for Trump and the current political divide among Latinos.

Credit: Screenshot via LiveNOW from Fox The Republican Party may have lost a morally bankrupt former Representative in Liz Cheney, but they just gained a red-pilled Tulsi Gabbard in exchange. The GOP even tossed in benchwarmer Adam Kinzinger in the exchange. And it’s still the most lopsided trade since Herschel Walker went to the Vikings in exchange for 12 players and eventually three Super Bowls for the Dallas Cowboys. Gabbard, a one-time Democrat candidate for President and former congresswoman from Hawaii, has been flirting with conservative ideology for some time now. More so, she’s viewed her party as the gender-confused…

“Failure to do that will create a generation of Palestinians that really will continue to resist cooperating with Israel in the future. So you’re actually increasing the numbers of insurgents … if you fail to do that,” Austin said. “It’s a strategic imperative in my view.” Hamas-led fighters rampaged through Israeli towns on Oct 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people and capturing around 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Israel’s subsequent bombardment of Gaza has killed more than 42,500 Palestinians, with another 10,000 unconfirmed dead thought to lie under the rubble, Gaza health authorities say. Source link
