    NETFLIX GETS THE NFL: THREE-YEAR DEAL STARTS THIS SEASON ON CHRISTMAS
    (1 MINUTE READ) [6]

    Amazon and Netflix have signed a three-year deal that will put
    exclusive Christmas games on the streaming service. The first two
    games will be aired on Christmas Day. 2025 and 2026 will see at least
    one game on the service each Christmas. The NFL is able to cancel all
    of its TV deals at the same time in 2029 - this could lead to an
    unprecedented bidding war that could upend the entire NFL content
    world.

    HERE'S THE INSIDE STORY OF WHY ELON MUSK FIRED THE ENTIRE TESLA
    SUPERCHARGER STAFF (8 MINUTE READ) [7]

    This article presents the story of Tesla's Supercharger firings based
    on interviews with eight former charging-division employees, one
    contractor, and an email that Tesla sent to outside vendors. Charging
    chief Rebecca Tinucci went to meet with Elon Musk about the network's
    future the day before the firings. Tinucci had recently cut between
    15% to 20% of staff, but Musk wanted more layoffs. She balked at the
    request, saying that deeper cuts would undermine the charging
    businesses' fundamentals. Musk responded by firing Tinucci and her
    entire 500-member team.

    HOW TO PUT A DATA CENTER IN A SHOEBOX (10 MINUTE READ) [8]

    The world's need for computing requires colossal amounts of power
    that will soon exceed what the planet can provide. Superconductors
    offer the possibility of drastically lower energy consumption as they
    do not dissipate energy when passing a current. While they require
    cryogenic temperatures to work, they offer many benefits like
    zero-resistance interconnects, digital logic built on ultrashort
    pulses that require minimal energy, and the capacity for incredible
    computing density due to easy 3D chip stacking. Superconducting
    computers can be more power efficient than their classical cousins at
    large scales.

    INTRODUCTION TO CANCER VACCINES (12 MINUTE READ) [9]

    This post presents notes on various topics related to cancer
    vaccines. It covers cancer neoantigens, protein characterization,
    AlphaFold, different cancer treatments, vaccine production, and more.
    Cancer vaccines that target neoantigens are expensive as they have to
    be personalized. While individualized cancer vaccines are not yet
    practical, they present a promising possibility for significantly
    better cancer treatments.

    GOOGLE LETS THIRD-PARTY DEVELOPERS INTO HOME THROUGH NEW APIS (1
    MINUTE READ) [11]

    Google is opening up its Home platform to third-party developers
    through new APIs that build on the foundation of Matter. Developers
    looking to tap into the APIs will need to pass certification before
    rolling out their apps. Apps won't be able to access users' smart home
    devices without their explicit consent. Google plans to open up access
    to the APIs on a rolling basis. The first apps using them will hit the
    Play Store this fall.
