Tech News
- GitHub has reinstated Youtube-DL and contributed $1 million to a DMCA defense fund. (TorrentFeak)
Ably assisted by the EFF.
- The Azure Python library is so large it can't be used from Amazon Lambda. (GitHub)
What the heck, Microsoft? What nonsense did you dump in there? Ten million lines of code seems just a bit excessive for a REST API wrapper.
- Nvidia has launched an 80GB version of their A100 compute card. (AnandTech)
I think the 40GB version runs around $20k.
- AMD has launched their own next-generation compute card, the MI100. (Tom's Hardware)
It has 120 compute units - 50% more than the Radeon 6900 XT - but operates at a much lower clock speed to keep heat under control. And also it has no video output.
It competes evenly with the world's fastest supercomputer from the year 2000.
- There's a 3060 Ti on the way, probably. (WCCFTech)
80% of a 3070 at 80% of the price. It uses the same chip as the 3070, so it's an open question of whether its availability will be any better. The 3070 is at least in stock in some places.
It's almost comforting that unplanned expenses just blew a hole in plans to build myself a new PC any time soon, and I don't have to worry about tracking down components because I can't afford them.
- Intel's first dual-core CPU - from 1977. (Scary Beasts)
This was used as the disk controller in the BBC Micro, though it was significantly more complex and more expensive than the 6502 CPU.
- DKIM signatures let us prove that emails from crooked politicians are genuine. So lets ruin that. (Cryptography Engineering)
How about instead of that you go fuck yourselves?
Oh No It's Real Video of the Day
