BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — President Joe Biden has written a letter for the people of Buffalo honoring the lives lost on May 14, 2022.

Biden opened his letter by honoring the memories of the ten people who were killed. He said their families are still in his prayers and that the sorrow still remains. However, he claimed to be optimistic about preventing future gun violence with his Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

The letter is expected to be read by the Deputy Director of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, Greg Jackson, at a ceremony of reflection.

China's $47B semiconductor fund puts chip sovereignty front and center
China has closed a third state-backed investment fund to bolster its semiconductor industry and reduce reliance on other nations, both for using and for manufacturing wafers — prioritizing what is called chip sovereignty. China's National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, also known simply as 'the Big Fund,' had two previous vintages: Big Fund I (2014 to 2019) and Big Fund II (2019 to 2024). The latter was significantly larger than the former, but Big Fund III is larger than both at 344 billion yuan, or about $47.5 billion, public filings revealed.

An interesting new behavior is both superficial and revealing about these systems: they pick random numbers as if they're human beings. This is actually a very old and well known limitation we, humans, have: we overthink and misunderstand randomness.
