Top Story
- I didn't post this yesterday because it wasn't confirmed, but now it is: Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, the most valuable company in the world, had an affair with a Chinese spy. (Tom's Hardware)
Named Alice Huang.
The writers of this season of the simulation are just getting lazy.
Tech News
- You can get a half-way decent CPU, a half-way decent motherboard, and half the memory you need for $249 from Microcenter right now. (WCCFTech)
An AMD 5600X3D, a Gigabyte B550M motherboard, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. Not bad for the price in these benighted days, though it still needs a graphics card.
- Diamond Foundry is finding founding diamonds. (Tom's Hardware)
200mm (8 inch) single-crystal diamond wafers for making chips.
- Connecting cars to the internet is just as good an idea as it was with supermarket freezers. (Shubs)
As in, not in any way whatsoever.

PatBuckman - Altman and Amodei have said a lot of things, and I mostly don't pay attention to them. So I don't know what you're referring to with "the Altman and Amodei stuff". Got a handy link, or a short explanation for those of us who have been living under a rock recently?
