Atreyu Got The Worst Deal Edition
Tech News
- Intel's upcoming Core i9-10900K is reportedly up to 30% faster than the 9900K on multi-threaded tasks. (WCCFTech)
Unfortunately for Intel, the Ryzen 3900X is already 50% faster than the 9900K on those tasks. (CPUBenchmark.net)
- It's either that or elemental fluorine: How to tarnish platinum: Sell it as a Xeon 9200. (AnandTech)
Ouch.
- Running Python in the Linux kernel. (Medium)
Or not. I'll go with not.
- The Chrome extension Shitcoin Wallet much to everyone's surprise steals your Ethereum coins. (ZDNet)
I mean, they all but called it "Ethereum Coin Stealer".
- India is heading back to the Moon. (Reuters)
Their previous lunar orbiter worked smoothly, but their Moon rover suffered a hard landing, as in, it was completely obliterated.
- Well don't do that then.
- One of Samsung's memory chip factories suffered a 60-second power outage. (Tom's Hardware)
It will take up to three days to get the plant back on line and all the chips on the production line might need to be scrapped. I'm not sure if the queue is as long for DRAM, but 3d flash has a lot of processing steps so they might lose weeks of production.
- Is the light over my desk blinking on and off or am I having a seizure?
(Looks directly at LED downlight.)
Fuck, now I'm blind. That thing is far too bright. Oh, and three of the LEDs were indeed flickering on and off.
- Apple has renewed its licensing agreement with GPU design company Imagination. (AnandTech)
Apple's custom Arm chips used Imagination graphics for years, before announcing they were going to use their own designs and cancelling their deal with Imagination, which almost killed that company.
- Oh no.

A 10-core processor that's clocked slightly higher and has 25% more cores gets higher multithreaded scores than an 8-clock processor? Do tell!

Python in the kernel: first, fuck Medium for putting overflow-y:hidden on the HTML tag. Second, REPL in the kernel? Brillant! What could possibly go wrong?

More a question of can we think of anything that could not go wrong?

I mean, I guess as a debugging tool it could be useful, which seems to be why he did it. Anyone using that in a production system should obviously have their head examined.
