Daily Tech News 14 September 2024

Top Story

OpenAI's new AI o1 is like having an autistic nine-year-old as a personal assistant with all of the expense and none of the comic moments. (Tech Crunch)

Ask it if you need to rent an AirBNB for Thanksgiving to provide more oven space, and rather than telling you that you're an idiot and that you can buy benchtop ovens from Walmart starting at $50, it does the analysis and comes up with a painfully detailed list of pros and cons all of which you already know.
This drivel is what OpenAI believes will drive it to a market valuation of $150 billion. (Reuters) (archive site)

Bubble? Scam? Delusion? Fraud?

Or all of the above?
Quick update from yesterday: That offer from Boeing that unionised employees rejected as a bad deal, appears to truly have been a bad deal.

I'm looking for an article that gives the full details that I can link to, but have come up dry so far.

Tech News

Sam Bankman Fried is appealing his conviction on fraud charges relating to his theft of $10 billion in customer funds. (Coin Telegraph)

His core claim - most of them amount merely to waah - is that FTX was never insolvent because by a miracle of timing, the company's Bitcoin assets inflated enough to make all its customers whole.

Which... Uh. I'd have to know more about the exact details of the charges and the underlying laws than I really care to, to comment on that.

If you try to scam people selling a penny stock in a failed silver mine in Arizona, and you suddenly find that it's just loaded with high grade platinum group deposits worth billions, did you scam anyone but yourself?
Google is rolling out its Gemini chatbot to you whether you like it or not. (Ars Technica)

It's in Chrome and there's an even more invasive version in Android.
I thought I might try this out so I went to the page on the Play Store and read about the data policy. Telemetry-wise it requires basically everything. Just an utter firehose of everything on your phone straight to Gemini.

Google already tracks a lot of my online life and I'm sure the analytics are fed to their AI's in various ways, but I'm not quite comfortable looking the beast in the face and just throwing myself into its mouth like that.
If you gaze too long into the mouth of the beast, you get chomped.
Now that Annapurna's entire game development division has fled the company, it can focus on what really matters: Movies about women who think they are turning into dogs. (The Verge)

It's called Nightbitch.

I watched the trailer. It's actually worse than the Minecraft movie.
Australia's Stalinist government, which is moving to stamp out free speech everywhere in the world, is deeply upset at being mislabeled as fascist. (The Register)

Prime Minister Whatsisname said "The fascists have nothing on us."
Meanwhile senators from Australia's Khmer Vert party are threatening to fine supermarkets for price gouging. (Yahoo Finance)

They pointed out that across Australia and New Zealand, our largest supermarket chain has made an unconscionable net profit in the past financial year of, uh, 0.15%.
People will start buying new computers and upgrading to Windows 11 real soon. (The Register)

Any day now. Yep. Any day now.
Apple's Vision Pro exposes your passwords. (Wired) (archive site)

Vision Pro lets you type just by looking at a virtual keyboard.

It also presents a virtual avatar on video calls that tracks your eye movements.

So... Yeah. Not a great combination, Apple.

This is like the stone age exploit where the send and receive indicators on modems were wired directly to the data lines, so all you needed was a high-speed camera and you could siphon off every single bit.
23andMe is paying $30 million to settle a lawsuit over leaking its customers genes. (Bleeping Computer)

Also, ew.
United Airlines is planning to equip all of its planes with Starlink. (MSN)

And free wifi.
If you were looking for a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 mini-PC here's one from Beelink. (Liliputing)

Looks like it has two M.2 slots for storage and up to 32GB of soldered RAM. Which is basically enough, but I'd like to see a 64GB model.

One USB4 port, five other slower USB ports, HDMI, DisplayPort, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and two audio jacks.
And here's one from AOOSTAR. (Notebook Check)

This is similar, but offers three M.2 slots and an OCuLink port (basically x8 PCIe over a cable) for external GPUs.

At the front.
1.3 million Android streaming boxes have been backdoored and nobody knows how except that some of them were running a bootleg Android version from 2016 which is a pretty big hint. (Ars Technica)

These are mostly dirt cheap no-name models sold in poorer countries; Brazil seems to be hardest hit.
Intel has signed a $3.5 billion deal to make secure chips for the US military. (Bloomberg) (archive site)

Which makes sense, because the other fabs owned and operating in the US tend to be specialised (Micron) or running on older process nodes (Texas Instruments).

But it's a drop in the bucket compared to what Intel has squandered.
If you want a tiny Apple IIe I guess this is your lucky day. (Tom's Hardware)

And when I say tiny, it's dwarfed by an original model Macintosh... Mouse.
Why is online advertising so uniformly awful? (Ars Technica)

Well, it's a combination of advertisers realising that online ads don't work, so that advertising rates collapsed and everyone scrambled for what was left, and Google and Facebook taking 95% of the ad delivery pie leaving everyone else to scramble for what was left, so that smaller sites were left scraping the bottom of the barrel and showing ads explaining how and why you should shove an entire bar of soap up your arse.

Smaller sites in this case being The New York Times.
Consumer Reports warns of high levels of lead in cinnamon. (Ars Technica)

Levels so high that if a child were to eat as few as eighty cinnamon rolls in a single day they could reach the CDC's recommended safety limit.
Paramount TV has shut down. (TV Tonight)

Paramount TV was in the process of remaking Time Bandits as a television series - without the dwarves.

Unfortunately CBS is picking up all the shows currently in production rather than cancelling them as they mostly deserve.
The winners of the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize have been announced. (Ars Technica)

Some of these are actually interesting, like the demonstration of how a dead trout can swim upstream, and some are scientifically solid, like the investigation that showed clusters of extremely long-lived individuals are closely correlated with shoddy government record-keeping.

10 Good morning, good people. Welcome to the nightmare called Windows 11. Currently, even though W11 is 1 1/2 years out, the 2 systems (10&11) appear to be running concurrently, making navigation through either an adventure in frustration. W10 is attempting to run normally, W11 is berserk with promo ads and runs anywhere. Try it and see.

Windows 11 is mostly okay if you jump through burning hoops during setup to disable everything Microsoft wants to shove at you, and add third-party software to address the most egregious failings.

It's probably slightly better than 8.0, but worse than 8.1.

22 I never believed that the Time Bandits being dwarves really seemed to actually be central to the the plot. Yes, they got a few jokes out of it, but the point was that a group of put upon shrubs who felt disrespected got their hands on a MacGuffin and took advantage of it.

31 Well, If I'm going to have my 'beefy 5 layer burrito' for breakfast (note, not a breakfast burrito), those refried beans aren't going to refry themselves. Thank Gaia I made the meat mixture yesterday. Just have to mince half an onion, crush 3 cloves of garlic, soften in a pan, add two cans of Goya small red beans (canned beans are my cheat), including liquid. Crack in a little black pepper and mash to your consistency over lowish heat; additional water may be needed. Once you're happy with the consistency, add cilantro leaves and stalks (to be discarded later), turn off heat and cover. Slice some Kalamatas, grate come cheddar and jack. Plus sour cream. Roll that up in one of those large Mission brand tortillas, 8 to a package. Gotta go for now.

32 19 Just wonderin' but is your Constitution more of a contract with clauses that can be added or subtracted by mere legislation/popular vote?

Proposed amendments have to be voted on by the government, then be put to a referendum where they have to get a majority of the popular vote nationwide, plus a majority of the popular vote in a majority of individual states, so the more populated states can't steamroll the smaller ones.

The last proposal failed to gain a majority in any state, which was reassuring.

BREAKING: The Nelk Boys just formally endorsed Trump at the Las Vegas rally. Today's lineup of endorsers have over 200 MILLION followers between them across their socials, and many of the followers are voters between 18-30 years old

If you're past 29 years of age you probably never heard of them.

Nelk (stylized as NELK), also referred to as the Nelk Boys,[2] is a Canadian-American YouTube channel and entertainment company. Originally known for their prank videos, vlogs, and their brand Full Send Entertainment, they have since shifted to promoting right-wing political causes.[3] The group's founders, Kyle Forgeard, and Jesse Sebastiani, have been referred to as "two of the most recognizable personalities for young people in North America".[4]

Anyway Trump received their endorsement in video below.

Anyway, one of the Nelk Boys mentions that Walz put a '95% tax on Zyn' and I checked because I never heard of the stuff. It appears to be some sort of tobacco product. Walz also went after vape products with higher taxes.

Lawmakers have been imposing measures to discourage its use too. For instance, in July, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz's state of Minnesota added "tobacco-free products containing nicotine" to its list of tobacco products that are charged a 95% tax.

One of the most active advocates is conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, whom some members of Generation Z have jokingly called Tucker Carl-Zyn.

So the leftists got some singer who repeatedly makes bad choices in men, and Trump got the Nelk Boys with 200 million Gen Z followers.

59 We have that cinnamon and sugar mix ever couple of weeks. Spoiler alert: It's just as good as you remember.

To make it a little bit better / more special find some Tillamook butter. It has a great creaminess to it and just the right touch of sweet and salt (which isn't much but if you use butter for cooking that will make sense).

Yeah, our mothers sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on a slice of bread, toasted it then sent us out to play at 9 am. We returned home for dinner eight hours later after skipping lunch and burning off every calorie.

96 We're discussing the price of cigarettes? My mother smoked Pall Malls for many years, and later went to cheaper brands. She used to send me down to the corner tavern when I was nine or ten to get her a pack out of the vending machine. Yeah, nobody cared. I never had any interest in ciggies despite having boyhood heroes like Ellery Queen and James Bond, both big smokers.

Pipe tobacco by comparison is quite a bit cheaper (for now, and in America. The stuff is horribly priced in Canada and Australia, and Europe too). You can buy a 1.75oz. packet of Sir Walter Raleigh for about $5 online, and more expensive blends from $12-20. Those will last for a lot of pipe sessions.

Some companies get around the taxes by selling cig tobacco ("roll-your-own") as pipe leaf. I've never tried it and am not sure I should.

144 My company is making everyone upgrade to Windows 11, and I did so last week. Company computer, so who cares. I can't speak for the processing power or whatever, but I find it to be somewhat worse. The UI is clunkier and is (IMO) clearly designed to cater to those who do everything in their lives on a smart device. Also, some third party software opens and runs noticeably slower.

Referring to the UI: My biggest issue is that if you get too close to the taskbar at the bottom, near an icon for an open window you have minimized, it 'helpfully' opens a thumbnail of that window so you can click on it. Trouble is I always have a lot of shit open so this literally just interferes with what I'm doing.

Also, moving windows between screens often produces all sorts of jittery nonsense as it 'helpfully' tries to line it up with various... I don't know... organizing presets that it has built in.

Make half the sugar brown sugar (dark or light, I won't judge) for extra deliciousness. Being grown up meant I could have cinnamon toast whenever I wanted.
Has to be made in the oven, though.

When she brings the parrot home, it immediately says, "Well, I'll be damned, a new brothel!" The woman can't help but laugh. Later, when her daughters arrive home, the parrot chirps, "Well, look at that, two new ladies of the night!" The girls burst into laughter too.

But when the dad walks in, the parrot exclaims, "Well, I'll be damned, Pete! Long time no see!"

It was the first boarding school actually. First experience of NOT home food. Puddings were disgusting for me: macaroni pudding, blancmange, rice pudding, bread pudding -- these were often burnt too. All came with at least a teaspoonfull of cinnamon powder on top, hence the terrible connotation. Macaroni, to an Italian, is served with a red meat sauce and pecorino or parmesan. Not with sugar! Not with cinnamon. Ever!

I'm not sold on the "RNC" being a significant part of Trump's campaign. Same goes for most of the rank and file Republicans. The GOP in general has been pretty quiet... even after the 'debate' they've not had much to say.

Whether that's because it's all Trump's crew doing the work or not is debatable. The fact remains that there's a large GOP contingent that's been dormant during this campaign.

But, to your point, Shanahan has put out two? videos on X that have been far superior to anything the GOP ever did.

In Las Cruces the vagrants steal them. It got so bad the City passed an ordinance making it illegal to do that (not sure why standard theft laws weren't good enough).

Because government meddling by definition makes everything more complicated the penalties for stealing a shopping cart consisted of community service or possibly getting an apartment.

The second part of the meddling requires local business to submit a shopping cart plan that details deterring vagrants from stealing shopping carts and a recovery component once the cops found a shopping cart. Of course business are banned from finding their own shopping carts. Failure to submit a plan and keep it up to date will, of course, results in the businesses being fined.

Personally, I would have solved the whole mess by repeatedly encouraging the vagrants to move to El Paso.

Or maybe instead when you click on a link it opens in a new tab which you can just close when finished and be back where you were. Thanks.
