The recent string of breaches tied to the ShinyHunters hacking group — including attacks on the University of Nottingham, DentaQuest, 7-Eleven, Medtronic, and Wynn Resorts — drives home a reality that security executives can no longer afford to overlook: cybercriminals are increasingly sidestepping conventional perimeter defenses and going after identities, login processes, SaaS connections, and trusted access routes rather than hunting for software flaws to exploit. In recent months, ShinyHunters has been connected to intrusions targeting Salesforce deployments, Snowflake customers, SaaS integrations, and identity management platforms like Okta. Analysts and incident response teams have repeatedly identified the same tactics: pilfered…

MoonMath AI team has released a bf16 forward attention kernel for AMD’s MI300X GPU. It is written in HIP, not hand-written assembly. The code is open-source under the MIT license. The MoonMath.ai team reports it beats AITER v3, AMD’s own optimized kernel, on every tested shape. Bare-metal access came from HotAisle, an AMD cloud provider. Attention is the fused softmax(QKᵀ/√d)·V operation inside every transformer. The MI300X is AMD’s CDNA3 data-center GPU, with the ISA target (gfx942). This kernel runs on that hardware only. TL;DR MoonMath.ai open-sources a bf16 forward attention kernel for AMD MI300X, written in HIP, not assembly (MIT).…

A major shift is underway in how industrial operations stay connected. It goes beyond simply adding more devices to factory floors or expanding automation in warehouses. The core infrastructure that ties everything together is evolving, and the networks that once worked well are now struggling to keep up. For companies managing large-scale industrial IoT systems, the debate is no longer about whether to move beyond traditional connectivity — it is about how quickly they can make the transition.More and more industries are turning to private 5G as the solution. This is not a passing trend or a distant goal —…

Introduction For a long time, I’ve relied on DAX to build date tables in tabular models whenever there was no other source available. I’ve had a template code that I’ve reused countless times, and it works perfectly well in a wide range of scenarios. I shared this approach with my clients, and they’ve all found it extremely useful. However, during a recent discussion with a colleague, I discovered a different approach that I hadn’t considered before. Here, I’ll walk you through various ways to create a date table and compare them. No matter which method you choose, it’s essential to…

Even with the crypto market’s inherent instability, many investors still consider XRP a long-term holding that could either fund their retirement or serve as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. But does that narrative hold up with actual math on its side? Some market forecasters have mapped out trajectories toward $1 million by 2035, while other experts caution that XRP continues to grapple with wild price swings and lingering questions about its real-world utility in decentralized finance and institutional settings. XRP’s Historical Price Track Record. Source: BeInCrypto Markets How Much XRP Would You Need to Retire by 2035? XRP…

Introduction Most enterprise security teams rely on 40 or more security tools, providing extensive visibility into internal telemetry and asset data. However, these tools often operate in isolation, producing overlapping alerts and fragmented data. Despite this abundance of information, breach dwell times remain stubbornly high—around 43 days—response windows close before teams can take action, and analysts are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of noise rather than focusing on actual threats. The issue isn’t a lack of effort—it’s a flawed architecture. Security programs were designed for an era when threats evolved slowly enough for humans to coordinate responses manually. That era…

This continuation of the document parsing series within Enterprise Document Intelligence focuses on building an enterprise RAG system from four foundational components. It expands upon Article 5 (document parsing) by examining a single table: toc_df, which captures the document’s organizational structure. Article 5 populates this table using the PDF’s built-in outline (via PyMuPDF’s doc.get_toc) when available. This installment addresses the scenario where no built-in outline exists, showing how to reconstruct that structure from the visible content on the page. The placement of this companion piece: it builds on Article 5 (document parsing), within Part II (the four components), recreating the…
