Top Story
- Senate hearing with five social media CEOs was a missed opportunity. (The Verge)
A missed opportunity for what, they do not say.
But reading between the lines, apparently they mean it was a missed opportunity for the largest censorship and propaganda program in human history, so we can only ne glad they dropped the ball again.
Also, Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of Twitter, is utterly useless.
Tech News
- Proposals to revive FTX as a working business have sunk because nobody was stupid enough to put any money into it. (The Guardian)
Proof that people can learn not to put their finger back in the fire if you first burn it off up to the elbow.
- AMD has announced that it will be launching Zen 5 CPUs for desktops, laptops, and servers this year. (WCCFTech)
Sometime between July and December is all we know at this point.
- IPFS just kind of doesn't work. (Neiman's Lab)
IPFS is intended to be a distributed filesystem such that even if the server originally hosting the file goes away - permanently - the content still persists out there on the net, potentially forever.
What happens in practice is often that even when the original server is still active and everything is working fine, you can't access the content, or it is out of date.

- Could we be living in a simulation? (Ars Technica)
Well yes, but actually no.
