Linux 7.2 introduces cache-aware scheduling, MGLRU, and USB4STREAM. Meanwhile, the plan to make GPU fairness the default was reverted at the last minute due to regressions.
Reddit has launched a limited mobile experiment that lets some English-language posts be played back as audio or video. The original posts and comments remain untouched, testing whether the feature can bring users back to the conversation even during screen-free moments.
OpenAI will lease about 8 IT-GW in Ohio for 20 years. NVIDIA conditionally guarantees the residual value of the initial 4.25 IT-GW for up to a cumulative $105 billion.
NVIDIA's $500 billion lending platform is a mobilization target based on MOUs. Contrasting the oversupply risk warned of by Sacks with historical dark fiber figures, we examine the conditions under which idle GPUs would become visible.
GIMP is designing a new ZIP+XML work format to replace XCF, in use since 1997, that can write only changed portions. It will serve as the foundation for auto-save and 3.6's multi-page and animation features, though details remain undecided and legacy XCF will step back to read-only support.
A hybrid material combining the light-driven proton pump of halophilic bacteria with a semiconductor nanosheet synthesized hydrogen peroxide from sunlight and air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Showing more than five times the production efficiency of the semiconductor alone, it opens the possibility of a distributed, decarbonized synthesis route to replace the anthraquinone process.
AI-driven HBM demand has absorbed DRAM production capacity, sending DDR5 memory prices soaring to 4-5x year-over-year levels worldwide. Micron warns the supply shortage will persist until 2028, as structural changes in the consumer memory market become increasingly irreversible.
Surging demand from AI data centers has pushed indium phosphide—the substrate material for optical transceivers—into serious short supply. As substrate prices continue to rise sharply, securing stable material supply and passing price increases on to customers will be key for epiwafer makers to protect their margins.
In Linux 7.1, the TSC has become a mandatory boot requirement for x86 CPUs. The assumption that "the TSC might not exist," which had persisted in compatibility code since the 1993 Pentium, is now gone—putting Linux on the same footing Windows reached back in 2012.
Against the backdrop of the 2025 crisis in which China's rare earth export controls halted EV production, Mercedes-Benz subsidiary YASA has begun work on making its axial flux motors rare-earth-free. Building on an architecture that holds a 59 kW/kg power density record, the company is developing two parallel paths: eliminating heavy rare earths and achieving complete rare-earth freedom.
