Tax evasion, money laundering and other financial crimes are massive, costly issues. In 2021, the Internal Revenue Service estimated that the U.S. loses $1 trillion a year due to tax evasion alone. IVIX thinks AI can help with that. The Tel Aviv–based startup uses AI, machine learning and public databases of business activity to help government entities spot tax noncompliance, in addition to other financial crimes. IVIX was founded by Matan Fattal and Doron Passov in 2020. Fattal was working at his prior cybersecurity startup, Silverfort, at the time, but when he discovered how large of an issue these financial…

Anna is out this week, so I’m back in the saddle for today. Here’s about 1,000 words on something that I’ve been chewing on for a few weeks! — Alex Under pressure Modern software companies grow in two key ways.

Through the looking glass: Many advances in semiconductor technology hinge on reducing package sizes while incorporating added functionality and more efficient power delivery methods. Present methods of power delivery consume significant space on the wafer, leading to increased costs, larger die sizes, and fewer transistors. Earlier this year, Samsung Semiconductor presented its research on an alternative to conventional semiconductor power delivery methods: backside power delivery. This could lead to significant reductions in die size and decreased routing congestion. According to a report from TheElec and Samsung’s presentation at this year’s Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Symposium, the semiconductor manufacturer used…

Introduction At first glance, Samsung was very docile with the upgrades to its Galaxy Watch6 series. But you could argue that there was very little wrong with the Galaxy Watch5 series and that all the upgrades we got were useful or thoughtful. The new watches use the new Exynos W930 chipset, which is nearly identical to last year’s W920. Both are made on a 5nm process and have dual-core Cortex-A55 processors, but the new chip has a higher 1.4GHz clock speed, which Samsung says makes for an 18% increase in speed. The Watch6 series also bumps the RAM up to…
