Replimication Edition

Top Story

  • The replication crisis is an ongoing problem in science, and particularly in medicine and psychology, where peer-reviewed papers that supposedly have a 95% probability of demonstrating a real effect cannot be replicated between 50% and 90% of the time.

    It turns out that AI is a cure for this problem.  (Stanford)

    When querying Google Gemini for medical information, half of the papers referenced do not even exist, and 90% do not actually make the claims Gemini reports.

    Cure?  Well sure.  If a paper doesn't exist, it can't be wrong.

  • ARM's new Neoverse N3 and V3 server cores have been announced.  (AnandTech)

    They compare favourably with AMD's 4th generation cores...  And should arrive some time after AMD's 5th generation cores, which we know are already in production. 

    (The lead time on new chips built on the most advanced processes is roughly six months; AMD's Zen 5 chips aren't expected to go on sale until the second half of the year.)


  • China is spying on everyone.  (PBS)

    So is everyone else, but the scale of China's espionage is something else.


  • It's not just you, ChatGPT is having a stroke.  (Ars Technica)

    When one user asked if it was safe to feed their dog Honey Nut Cheerios, ChatGPT responded:
    For more inventive, yet more official and consistently fair, hound festivities, you might consider high fiber, steam-hoofed, laced in line pick-offs like dog-head rattle, fresh vegetables (carrots, green beans, or pureed pumpkin for dissertation), or arm-sketched, rare toys in the middle of apples (pitted, for the act is grand), unsung, effete, or short-spooning fall to the tail of a new adventure. Yet, checking with your vet for postured over-distance or guised, safe, and informative finish, over a glean in the twang that says 'divvy this round of lore or lend a moan to my kind-leek, cosmo cavalcade,' gives you the heel-in to commence, let's prate, or mild walk-over in the kind of twin of feel, fine-tune, and fine-to-live.
    I mean, yes, absolutely.  (Backs away slowly.)

Pyrrhic Moral Victory Edition

  • If you want to build your own mini-ITX storage server, there aren't many great motherboard options.  The Topton N11 is one.  (Liliputing)

    If you don't mind buying a $500 motherboard from AliExpress.

    It has a built-in Ryzen 7840HS CPU, nine SATA ports, four 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, two M.2 2280 slots, two DDR5 SODIMM slots, a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, supports three monitors over HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C, plus three regular USB 3 ports and one audio jack.

    If you want something a bit cheaper, the same company offers a $166 version of the board with an Intel N100 CPU.  Two of the USB ports are downgraded to USB 2, the PCIe slot is just x1, and it has six SATA ports rather than nine, but the networking and video configuration is the same.


  • If you're tired of seeing good SSDs at five cents per gigabyte, the Crucial T705 costs four times that.  (AnandTech)

    It does run at 14.5GB per second, but so do four cheap SSDs in RAID-0.


  • Asus' Zenfone was one of the last remaining reasonably-sized phones, though with a 5.9" screen not actually small.  So Asus is making it bigger.  (The Verge)

    As the article notes, even Apple can't convince people to buy smaller phones anymore.  I'm just waiting for screens to reach 8" so I can buy a decent tablet once again.
