Top Story
- Meta (Facebook) has revealed the details of its internal serverless platform - similar to Amazon's Lambda - that "processes trillions of function calls per day on more than 100,000 servers spread across tens of datacenter regions." (Engineer Codex)
Does anyone see the problem with this? Anyone? Yes, the girl at the back?
Correct. That's fucking stupid.
Tech News
- Nvidia might be bringing out a 4080 Super model sooner rather than later now that the 4090 has been banned from export to China. (Tom's Hardware)
Hang on. Wait a minute. Where exactly are the 4090s - the boards not the chips - being manufactured?
- Intel's real 14th generation chips have shown up in benchmark databases and the results are good, bad, and irrelevant. (Tom's Hardware)
In single-core tests it's 6% faster than the 13th gen equivalent, which is... Meh.
In multi-core tests it's 25% slower, despite having two extra cores. Which is terrible, but is certain to be fixed before launch date so it doesn't matter.
Looks like an unexciting release on the CPU side; any interesting news will come from the integrated graphics. Or not at all.
- Everything new is old again: Ruffle is a Flash emulator written in Rust - and compiled to Web Assembly. (Ruffle)
Which means you can add it to a web page and it will Just Work (TM).
Except that it doesn't have full support for all Flash functionality yet, so while Ruffle will work your Flash game might not.
Still if you happen to have 160,000 Flash games just lying around it offers a new way to share them.

I was hoping for Meatier Lake, and I didn't get it.

Well, a 3gHz, 64-core server is performing 192 billion state changes every second, so handling a few trillion function calls per day shouldn't be much of a stretch.

Of all things, FurAffinity uses Ruffle because they had a lot of Flash animations. I think Newgrounds uses a different, in-house animation engine.
