• Another day, another alleged leak of the RX 6000 range.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Even sites that are paid by the click are evincing skepticism of the details, which means it will probably turn out to be true.
  
  
  
• The simulation is starting to break down.
  
  
  
  
  
• The RTX 3060 will have more cores than the 2080 Ti.  (WCCFTech)
  
  Which doesn't mean a whole lot, because half the cores on the 3000 series are, well, half-cores.  If drivers can be optimised to better utilise this architecture, Nvidia will have a winner.  But you would think they'd have thought of that.
  
  
  
• Have you tried turning your simulation off and then on again?
  
  
  
  
  
• Researchers have found the documentation for a secret Nazi supercomputer that has lain dormant for 75 years.  (Vice)
  
  Of course they're planning to turn it on.  What's the worst that could happen?
  
  
  
• There is nothing wrong with your simulation.  Do not attempt to adjust the settings.
  
  
  
  
  
• SectorForth contains only 10 primitives.  (GitHub)
  
  It is nonetheless a complete working Forth compiler that can be bootstrapped up to arbitrary complexity.
  
  That fits in a boot sector.
  
  
  
• Trust the simulation.  The simulation is your friend.
  
  
  
  
  
• The original source code for Elite on the BBC Micro has been recovered and published.  (BBCElite)
  
  And more importantly, documented, because they were so short of space the code didn't have any line breaks, never mind comments.
  
  
  
• Simulation is the sincerest form of flattery.
  
  
  
  
  
• Thailand is suing Facebook and Twitter for lese majeste.  (Reuters)
  
  In Thailand it is a felony to insult or disparage the king, who is a fat and rather unattractive turtle.  Thailand seems to be threatening to arrest Facebook.
