Top Story
- Intel will be receiving up to $3 billion in direct funding under the CHIPS Act. (WCCFTech)
Does Intel deserve government handouts? Eh.
Is this what the CHIPS Act is intended to do? Actually, yes.
Is it less wasteful than 90% of government programs? Also yes, but that's not saying much.
- Intel has also signed a multi-billion dollar deal to manufacture custom server and AI processors for Amazon. (WCCFTech)
Amazon already buys a lot of chips from Intel, so it's not clear how much bigger this is than existing contracts, but Amazon was not using Intel to make its custom chips previously, so it is at least a new market.
Tech News
- Still with Intel the company reportedly lost out to AMD on a $30 billion deal to create the chips for the upcoming PlayStation 6. (Tom's Hardware)
Since AMD has produced the last two generations of chips for both PlayStation and Xbox, the company was the clear favourite to pick up this contract as well.
- MacOS 15 Sequoia is here. (Ars Technica)
It brings with it a bunch of stuff you don't want and breaks the cool little apps that make MacOS bearable to use.
Again.
- Oracle is here to spy on you. (The Register)
Rest assured, though, that your mandatory bodycam will keep right on recording when you've turned it off.
- The 2019 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine has now had thirteen papers retracted after duplicated or manipulated images were found. (Retraction Watch)
Oops.
- Brazilian judge Tomas de Torquemada has fined Starlink to cover the fines levied against Twitter. (Ars Technica)
Since this is not a rocket thread, the Ars commentariat is has dialed its usual Two Minute Hate up to 11.

I'm sure consensus views on medical scientists are uniformly excellent and beyond argument. In related news, can I sell you shares in the bridges we are going to build between New Zealand and Australia, New Zealand and Peru, New Zealand and Hawaii, Hawaii and Japan, and Hawaii and Vancouver. We are also selling shares of the paired tunnels beneath the sea floor. No low offers, I know what I got.
