$AMPG: AmpliTech today announced that its AmpliTech Group Microwave Design Center (“AGMDC”) division has received orders for three newly developed custom Gallium Arsenide (“GaAs”) components for use in an advanced phased-array satellite communications system. The three components were competitively sourced by the customer, with AGMDC selected based on the performance of its custom designs against the customer's demanding technical requirements. AGMDC worked closely with the customer's engineering team to develop solutions addressing critical RF performance requirements while also meeting the program's cost objectives.

Coinbase says Amplitude exposed some customer contact data, with no evidence of access to Coinbase systems. Citing four disclosed data leaks, @cz_binance urged users to swap SMS codes for passkeys or hardware security keys. via @hardeyjumoh

Third-Party Analytics Vendor Amplitude Suffers Security Incident, Leaking Contact Info for a Small Subset of Coinbase Users SlowMist CISO 23pds posted that a data leak involving Coinbase has been confirmed, though it remains unconfirmed whether passwords or funds were compromised. The hacker obtained contact information for more than 70,000 users. Subsequently, Coinbase Support clarified that Coinbase itself did not experience a data breach. The incident originated from a security breach at third-party data analytics vendor Amplitude, which affected several of its clients, including Coinbase, leading to the leak of contact details for a small subset of Coinbase users. Coinbase stated that it found no evidence of unauthorized access to its internal systems, that customer funds remain entirely unaffected, and that it is notifying affected users and relevant regulatory authorities in accordance with legal requirements.

Last week @cxodev and @Amplitude_HQ hosted nearly 300 PMs + execs at literally the hottest happy hour I've ever attended 🥵 The best part? I got to record mini-mini How I AIs with my favorite AI people including @graceclarke @JJEnglert @yourgirlhils 📸 @cosmos_raj

Claude just computed a nine-loop scattering amplitude in planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills, past the eight-loop record. What that means. Scattering amplitudes predict how particles behave & physicists compute them in layers of correction called loops. Each loop makes the answer more precise & costs exponentially, sometimes factorially, it’s more work. Most real amplitudes have only been taken to two or three loops. The most precise prediction in particle physics, the electron's anomalous magnetic moment, used five. The challenge came from physicist Matt von Hippel, who publicly asked whether an AI could push past eight loops using only compute an academic could afford. Given one prompt & periodic instructions to continue, Claude ran largely unsupervised for days & did it, using bootstrap methods that Lance Dixon & collaborators developed. Total cost: a few thousand dollars. Dixon, who held the prior record, checked the result independently. Three caveats that matter more than the headline: 1. N=4 super-Yang-Mills is a toy model which is a testing ground for techniques, not a theory describing our universe. No new real-world particle prediction came out of this. 2. Claude applied existing human methods rather than inventing new ones. 3. A human-led group at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, using GPT-6 for parts of it, had concurrently obtained most of the same result & published a dataset on September 17. So the honest version isn't that a machine beats humans. It's that a hard calculation at the edge of a field now costs only a few thousand dollars & takes several days, by more than one route at once.
