They don't attempt to jam, the frequency is just little bit off to minimize damage and it's very short time. They just test the system to verify that it works.
What this reveals: Russian early warning satellite constellation has also GNSS jammers they test periodically. They can jam whole continent from single satellite. They have six satellites in Molniya orbits.
Because we want to write correct code. We want to verify the absence of many types of errors where amateurish language war stuff like Rust vs C does not even scratch the surface.
I would propose that we change your original statement "Ideally neither C nor C++ should be used when security matters." into:
"Ideally people who don't care about secrurity should not write code when security matters."
Can we agree that this is better than talking about programming languages?
Explain to someone like me who uses C in safety-critical software in aerospace and defense why not?
For me, choosing the language is not enough. It's the tooling that goes far beyond the language that is important for safety and quality of compiler and runtime. C has very mature tooling options. So does ADA.
The first SoC including Neural Engine was the A11 Bionic, used in iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X, introduced in 2017. Since then, every Apple A-series SoC has included a Neural Engine.

The bleeding edge uses abstract interpretation to verify code.

It'll be the same for Intel with their new process node.
Everyone working with the latest process node is tightly coupled with the manufacturer: Nvidia, Apple, AMD, and Qualcomm. Microarchitecture design and optimization for a new process is super expensive and hard.
Legacy processes have settled, have standardized design software and tooling, so everything costs less.
ps. Nvidia and Qualcomm are considering Samsungs 2mm because TSMC's 2-nanometer chip production capacity is extremely limited.
It's common to discover IMSI-catchers in national capitals around the world. There are many interesting targets.
Washington, D.C. mobile traffic is probably the most spied in the world. Especially now when it's run by technological cavemen and overly confident techbros. Israeli, Russians, Chinese, French and everyone.
> least some part of the populace is well armed enough to overthrow t
What a naive fantasy.
Organization of people is much more important than guns. You don't even need guns when you organize. You can stop the state just by collective action. See color revolutions.
When it is guns, you need RGP's, detonators and TNT (and drones), a good underground insurgent logistic chains. You also need commit to life in poverty and eventual death.
United States, Hungary, Turkey, Russia, Serbia have plenty of independent weapons, yet there is no fear of effective armed resistance. Everybody is a rebel in the Internet. When things go tough it's "I have to go to work and eat. My family needs me."
I belong to the same X-gen group as Marc Andreessen, Curtis Yarvin, Elon Musk,Peter Thiel, and others. I have a background in computers and am financially independent.
While I strongly disagree with them, I feel an affinity and familiarity with their thinking. I have read the same books, seen the same news, and lived in the same era. I understand how they arrived where they are now.
The Neo-reactionary movement seems exactly like what my generation comes up from the right. Dark Psychology of Dark Enlightenment is a cyberpunk sci-fi world as a fantasy. To live with societal collapse, dystopia and decay with low-life and high-tech. Always framing oneself as an independent outsider and a rebel. Sarcasm as a reflex. These guys see themself living in William Gibson's Neuromancer world.
I have been looking at their patents. Seems well defended and methodological. Someone like Intel, Nvidia or AMD might buy them soon.
Speedup is realistic. Multicore SMP or NUMA are not good for memory access patterns they optimize.
Their thick control flow model that should work for exclusive matrix-addition and log-prefix style memory access patterns. In comparison to the baseline the speedup is
150% in log-prefix algorithm, over 190% in fft-style butterfly algorithm, 50-100% in matrix addition and threshold filtering. silicon area and power consumption are estimated to be low.

>67,000, or 58%, of new jobs across manufacturing and design will risk going unfilled by 2030.
Another nugget from Fig 6: More than half of the MS graduates in semiconductor-related engineering fields are foreign and 80% of foreign Master’s leave the U.S.
People in the US keep asking "Should I go to college?" and "Who needs calculus?"
There is plenty of semiconductor industry in the US but it's differently specialized and they compete for the same pool of engineers. Nvidia, AMD or Broadcom don't have fabs, but they hire engineers from the same pipeline as fab companies.
It's few years since I was hiring EE majors in the US, but it felt that skilled people with EE master's are harder and harder to find every year. I think USC and CMU are the only ones that produce quantity and quality. MIT, Stanford, and Berkley produce quality but not quantity.
