And There Was Much Rejoicing Edition
And There Was Much Rejoicing Edition
Top Story
- Sam Bankman-Fried has unfortunately been forced to decline Maxine Waters' kind invitation to give testimony before Congress today due to (checks notes) having been arrested on charges of wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, securities fraud, securities fraud conspiracy, money laundering, breaking ranks while in formation, felonious assault, indiscriminate behavior, mopery, high treason, provoking, being a smart-guy, and listening to classical music. (WCCFTech)
He spent his last day in freedom as he has been spending every day these past few weeks: Further incriminating himself.
How was this clown ever allowed outside without a leash?
Tech News
- This is real:
- AMD's Radeon 7900 XTX, XTXX, and XXTX are here. (Ars Technica)
They're pretty good, though certainly not cheap. Except for ray tracing, the 7900 XTX consistently outruns the RTX 4080 for $200 less. And has 50% more RAM.
But at $200 less than the 4080 it will still set you back $1000.
- SK Hynix has showed off 8GHz server RAM, using two interleaved sets of DDR5 chips. (AnandTech)
That's quite fast. Particularly considering something like the latest Epyc Genoa servers have 24 memory channels across two CPUs.
These particular modules look like they're Intel-only initially, but that will change.
- Next year's Meteor Lake chips from Intel will use a new socket - LGA 1851 - and despite the headline will most definitely not support LPDDR5X-7500. (WCCFTech)
Because socket LGA 1851 is for desktops and LPDDR5X is for laptops.
And allegedly will have a maximum of 6 P cores, which is a step backwards. Doesn't matter for the average user, but if true there won't be a new high-end chip from Intel until 2024.
- AI is crap because researchers spend all their time teaching it not to ever offend people who are actively seeking to be offender rather than to do anything remotely useful. (Astral Codex Ten)
Also, ChatGPT is a wonderful front-end to a universal search engine except that if ever it cannot find an answer to your question it will make something up rather than risk disappointing you.
- You might be able to buy a Raspberry Pi next year. (Liliputing)
Also, the people running Mastodon nodes are all insane. That might seem unrelated, but read the article.

"Because socket LGA 1851 is for desktops and LPDDR5X is for laptops."
The one bit of evidence they have for LPDDR5X-7500 is a URL, and that URL has "meteor-lake-p" in it, which makes it a laptop thing anyway.

It's hard to take people seriously who write "harmful replies" seriously.
Who was *harmed*, other than a bunch of Lefties being butthurt?
