31. DeepSeek uses banned Nvidia chips for AI model, report says
Nvidia’s Blackwell chips were smuggled into China through countries that permitted their sale, The Information reported, citing unnamed sources.

The US bans the sale of these advanced semiconductors to China, which has led AI developers there to access the hardware through data centers located outside of the mainland or subterfuge.

39. Sharding to Contain the Blast Radius of Data Breaches
Modern SaaS platforms sit on top of massive, multi-tenant data stores. When those stores are breached, the damage is rarely limited to a single record; it is often “wholesale” compromise of large slices of the user base. For a CISO or CTO, this is the critical risk: not that a record can be stolen, but that everything a given system knows becomes available in one incident.

But I learned a lot and ended up in at least a better place.
