A Zelda In Time Edition
Top Story
- Never send a Link to do a Zelda's work: The LINK mission intended to boost the Swift Observatory into a higher orbit has itself spun out of control, leaving Swift to burn down, fall over, and sink into the swamp, by which we mean disintegrate upon re-entry and any surviving fragments fall harmlessly into the ocean and Canberra. (CNN)
The loss is lessened slightly, perhaps, by the fact that Swift was launched with a planned operational lifetime of two years... In 2004.

- Inherent's AI teammate is claimed to outperform Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research. (Tech Crunch)
Inherent, which just raised $50 million in funding, didn't build its own LLM. It runs on Qwen 3.6-27B, which anyone can download and run on a Mac or a 32GB graphics card like an RTX 5090 or the much cheaper Radeon R9700.
- A decent laptop with 16GB of RAM is better than a good laptop with 8GB. (The Verge)
At least if you're running Windows 11 where, despite everything Microsoft says, you really need 32GB of RAM for anything serious.
- Microsoft also says your games are crashing because of you kids and your RGB lighting. (Bleeping Computer)
Despite the fact that it all worked perfectly before the latest Windows Update.
- AMD has published Linux drivers for RDNA 4m (mobile) graphics devices. (WCCFTech)
Which is slightly interesting because there are no RDNA 4m graphics devices. Not yet, anyway.
