Altera Prepares Confidential IPO Filing Targeting Over $2 Billion — 1dAltera, now backed by Silver Lake and Intel, is moving toward a confidential IPO that could raise over $2 billion and list as early as 2026, in what would be a major standalone semiconductor listing driven by growth in FPGAs for AI, robotics, and edge computing. The move follows Intel's 2015 acquisition, subsequent partial sale to Silver Lake in 2025, and fresh governance with new independent directors as Altera positions itself to capitalize on its double-digit revenue growth and expanding AI-enabled FPGA portfolio.

Sam Okafor Silver Lake's stake makes me think this IPO valuation will hold up if their robotics growth numbers are real.

Trump Suggests Renaming New Mexico ‘New America’ — 5dPresident Donald Trump has floated or shared maps and posts suggesting renaming places such as New Mexico to 'New America,' alongside prior and ongoing actions that rename other geographical names like the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' and Lake Ontario to 'Lake America,' drawing mixed reactions and prompting fact-checks. He has also posted a flag-style graphic labeling strategic waterways, such as the Strait of Hormuz as 'New U.S. Territory,' amid ongoing debate over the seriousness, legality, and diplomatic implications of these moves.

Derek Foss New Mexico has had that name since before the US even existed. This is just silly.

MapQuest Surges While Google, Apple Rename Lake Ontario — Aug 31, 2026MapQuest has refused to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America despite President Trump’s executive order, arguing that keeping familiar names serves users, and in response the app saw a surge in downloads and top chart positions as it rolled out a lake-name generator tool. The development follows a related pivot where Google altered the lake’s name and MapQuest highlighted similar past action with the Gulf of Mexico, underscoring a broader debate over official name changes and user familiarity.

DuSable Lake Shore Drive bridge stuck in heat, previously flagged as deficient — Sep 3, 2026Extreme heat caused thermal expansion in Chicago’s movable bridges, leaving the DuSable Lake Shore Drive and Torrence Avenue bridges stuck open or unable to fully close and triggering hours of traffic disruption. Firefighters sprayed water to cool metal components, allowing engineers to close the DuSable bridge and restore normal movement after several hours amid heat advisories.

Chris Dalton Glad they got it closed before it caused a bigger mess, but this is going to keep happening as summers get hotter.

G42 Weighs U.S. Majority Ownership for AI Chips — Sep 4, 2026Abu Dhabi’s AI firm G42 is reportedly examining selling a majority stake to American companies to secure continued access to advanced AI chips after the current export window ends around April 2027, with options including a US-dominated ownership or a new US entity. The talks underscore export-control pressures and the involvement of notable investors such as Microsoft, Silver Lake, and Mubadala, amid governance and national-security considerations.

Priya Raman So basically the export rules are forcing G42 to sell control just to keep buying chips. That's leverage, not partnership.
