Parnassus Investments LLC Reduces Position in Intel Corporation $INTC MarketBeat

A top Hong Kong official has condemned attempts by external forces and “anti-China absconders” to “smear” the government ahead of Jimmy Lai Chee-ying’s mitigation hearing, saying the former media boss’ conviction showed that any plots to undermine national security will fail. Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang Kwok-wai said on Saturday that such smear campaigns during Lai’s national security trial were proof that Hong Kong still faced risks that could not be taken...

You can sign up here to receive it every Friday evening in your inbox.) Greg Abel's annual cash salary for 2026 as the new CEO of Berkshire Hathaway is $25 million , a 19% increase from the $21 million he got in 2024 as the company's vice chairman for non-insurance operations. (Abel's 2025 salary has not yet been publicly disclosed.) Berkshire's filing this week doesn't say anything about additional compensation for Abel, but the company has said it will never use its stock to pay employees. After crunching a lot of proxy numbers from MyLogIQ , The Wall Street Journal reports Abel's salary "would be the highest a chief executive running a current S&P 500 company has earned in any single year between 2010 and 2024." Berkshire Vice Chairman Greg Abel poses with a shareholder during the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. annual shareholders' meeting, in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S., May 2, 2025. Brendan Mcdermid | Reuters The real money for CEOs, however, comes in the form of stocks, stock options, and other noncash awards. When those are included, Abel still tops 2024's median of just over $16 million for S&P 500 chief executives. But the Journal says, "Most of the top 100 best-paid executives received more than $25 million, when stock and other noncash awards are added." Glenview Trust's CIO Bill Stone tells the newspaper that since Abel is leading one of the S&P's 10 largest companies, "One would expect his compensation to be commensurate with that level of CEOs." While not unusual for the CEO of a very large American corporation, Abel's paycheck is a striking departure from Buffett's annual salary of $100,000 (plus another $300K or so for personal and home security services provided by Berkshire. He also typically repaid half of his salary to cover personal expenses paid for the company.) Unli...

伊朗連日的反政府示威，據報已造成超過60人死亡、100人被捕。歐洲領袖發聲，呼籲伊朗當局對示威者保持克制。 雖然美國總統特朗普曾公開敦促伊朗，不要對示威者使用武力，但伊朗官員威脅，參加抗議示威的人會被判處死刑。而伊朗末代王朝的流亡王儲就促請特朗普介入。 有人權組織表示，伊朗上月底爆發的反政府示威，已蔓延至全國31個省，連日示威已造成逾60人死亡，當中包括平民和安全部隊人員。 不過，《時代》雜誌引述德黑蘭一名要求身份保密的醫生報道，德黑蘭6間醫院已經錄得最少217名示威者死亡，大多是被實彈射殺，又指當局從醫院取走死者遺體。 德國總理默茨、法國總統馬克龍及英國首相施紀賢，周五發出聯合聲明，譴責伊朗當局對示威者使用武力，敦促伊朗當局對示威者保持克制，維護伊朗人民的基本權利。默茨亦在社交平台發帖文稱，對有關伊朗安全部隊暴力行為的報道深表關切，並強烈譴責殺害示威者。 伊朗最高領袖哈梅內伊周五發表講話，呼籲伊朗人民要保持團結。他又敦促美國總統特朗普，如果有能力，應該專注於治理自己的國家，並稱去年6月，美國與以色列空襲伊朗後，特朗普的雙手已經沾滿鮮血。 哈梅內伊又將示威者形容為破壞分子及破壞公共財產者，並誓言絕不會退縮。德克蘭檢察官員就威脅，會處決跟當局衝突或參與破壞活動的人。 流亡美國的伊朗末代王朝王儲巴列維呼籲特朗普伸出援手，幫助伊朗示威者。他並稱特朗普酷愛和平，並言而有信，懇請特朗普介入。他又說，願意帶領伊朗過渡到民主政府，又呼籲伊朗人繼續抗爭。

“傅里叶变换”是频率的“翻译器”，可将声音、图像等复杂信号转换为频率语言，是科学和工程领域一种基础且应用广泛的计算方式。北京大学研究团队创出一种全新的多物理域融合计算架构，可利用后摩尔新器件支持傅里叶变换，使算力提升近4倍，为具身智能、边缘感知、类脑计算、通信系统等领域开辟新的可能。该成果9日发表于《自然-电子学》。 近年来，新型计算场景不断涌现，对运算速度、精度等要求越来越高，而传统硅基器件经过近几十年发展已逼近极限。以忆阻器、光电器件为代表的后摩尔时代的新型器件凭借独特的计算性能，被视为突破算力与能效困局的希望。然而，这些新器件往往由于可支持的计算方式单一，无法适配实际应用中多样化计算方式的需求“跑不起来”，严重制约着算力和效能提升。 北京大学人工智能研究院研究员陶耀宇、集成电路学院教授杨玉超组成的科研团队，瞄准傅里叶变换这一通用计算方式，创造性地将“易失性氧化钒器件”与“非易失性氧化钽/铪器件”这两种适合做频率转换载体的新器件，在多物理域融合架构下进行系统集成，做出了可应用于傅里叶变换等多样化计算方式的硬件系统。 “这种计算架构可让多种计算方式在其适合的物理域如电流、电荷、光等进行计算，使计算效率更高。”陶耀宇介绍，两种器件在系统集成后充分发挥了在频率生成调控与存算一体方面的互补优势，在保证计算精度、降低计算功耗的前提下，将傅里叶变换计算速度从当前每秒约1300亿次提升至每秒约5000亿次，运算速度提升数倍。 陶耀宇表示，新的计算框架有望突破后摩尔新器件的算子谱系扩展难题，即可同时支持多种计算方式，使新器件能真正“跑起来”，加速新器件在人工智能基础模型、具身智能、自动驾驶、脑机接口、通信系统等前沿领域的落地应用。

Alaskans Spend The Most (Per Capita) On Alcohol, Utah (Surprise) The Least Alcohol consumption patterns in the U.S. vary sharply depending on where people live. Cultural norms, climate, income levels, and access to services all shape how much residents spend on alcoholic beverages. This visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti , maps alcohol spending per adult across all 50 states. The data comes from SmartAsset . Alaska Leads by a Wide Margin Alaska ranks first, with adults spending nearly $1,250 on alcohol in 2024. The state’s top position is often linked to isolation, harsh weather conditions, and limited access to healthcare and addiction services. Higher prices due to transportation costs also push up total spending.
