Daily Tech News 11 October 2024

Top Story

Terrorist supporters have claimed responsibility for the DDOS and hack of the Internet Archive. (Gizmodo)

Maybe it's true. Maybe they're lying. There are many powerful groups that would love to scrub the internet's memory forever.

But they're publicly boasting of this on Twitter from a verified account, so they've made themselves easy targets for law enforcement.
The core archive is unaffected. (Twitter)

The site is down temporarily while the staff scrub the front-end servers and upgrade security, but it will be back.

Tech News

Tesla has announced its new Robotaxi, the gloriously art deco Robovan, and the new Tesla Robot. (Tesla)

A good old-fashioned future.
AMD very graciously allowed Intel to be relevant for an entire week before stomping on them with a 192 core server CPU that is 20% cheaper than Intel's 128 core model. (Tom's Hardware)

AMD's new lineup includes Zen 5 models with up to 128 cores, and Zen 5c models (functionally identical cores but lower clock speeds) up to 192 cores.

That article has lots of benchmarks; WCCFTech has the price list.

If you need high clock speeds rather than just the maximum possible number of cores, the 9575F offers 64 cores running at 5GHz. The 192 core 9965 "only" runs at 3.7GHz.

In theory you could put one of each in the same server. (I think?) Not sure how much the Linux kernel would appreciate that though.
Intel meanwhile has announced its new Arrow Lake desktop CPUs - the 245K, 265K, and 285K. (Tom's Hardware)

The 285K will be slightly slower than the existing 14900K for gaming, but use less power. Unfortunately it is expected to be up to 20% slower than AMD's best gaming chips like the 7800X3D, which uses much less power.

The chips will be at retail on the 24th, so not much in the way of benchmarks until then, except for the one leaked result on CPUBenchmark.
Intel claims the new chips provide parity performance at half the power. (PC World)

Which is very interesting because the claimed power consumption hasn't changed with respect to 13th and 14th generation parts, neither the base TDP nor the maximum turbo power.

Which means that either Intel was lying before, or is lying now, or both.
Just to make sure they rain on all of Intel's parades AMD's 9800X3D is expected to have an all-core clock 400MHz faster than the existing 7800X3D. (VideoCardz)

That would salvage the lackluster launch of the 9000 series. It's not at all a bad CPU, but it shines at heavy server-oriented workloads rather than typical productivity apps or gaming.

With that clock boost the 9800X3D should easily be the fastest CPU available for games.
Maybe when the DOJ's antitrust team has finished beating up Google it could take a look at Adobe. Adobe no longer offers perpetual licenses for its low-end Elements products. (Notebook Check)

You can "buy" the 2025 editions right now, but the software will drop dead three years after it is installed.
What's better than Ethernet? Ultra Ethernet. AMD has shown off its first Ultra Ethernet cards. (Tom's Hardware)

These run at 400Gbps and offload a lot of the networking stack to a dedicated CPU on the card.
Serve the Home got hold of the new AMD Epyc CPUs and a 400Gb Ethernet card and put them to the test. (Serve the Home)

I'm not sure how many homes need to be served with a 384 core server with 800Gbps of total network bandwidth, but here you go.
There's a vulnerability in 64 different Qualcomm chipsets. (WCCFTech)

This only affects about two billion people, so you don't need to worry.

And no, there are no details.
Three executives in charge of Amazon's Just Walk Out project - cashierless brick-and-mortar stores - just walked out. (Tech Crunch)

It is a thing.
Amazon dreams of AI agents that do the shopping for you. (Wired)

Burn in Hell, Amazon.
The latest Windows 11 update leaves 9GB of trash behind. (PC World)

Trash that it is impossible to delete short of reinstalling Windows entirely.

That's nearly 50 cents worth of storage at today's SSD prices.
The world must Act Now (TM) or We Are Doomed (TM). (Dawn)

More doomed than the last eleven times we were doomed?
Redbox went bankrupt. But the Redboxen remain. (MSN)

They weigh 900 pounds and there are 24,000 of them scattered across the country, typically wired directly into power so you can't even unplug them. Walgreens says that just sitting there the boxen are costing the company $184,000 a month.

And they're typically anchored in concrete to prevent theft, so you can't just yank them out.
London is gone. (The Register)

Blown into the North Sea. The BBC is predicting 13,508 mph winds, and overnight lows of 400C in Nottingham.

Conditions are expected to return to reality this weekend.
Automattic is doing open source dirty. (Hey)

This is the personal site of DHH, the creator of Ruby on Rails. I might have some philosophical differences with the design of Rails, but to my knowledge DHH never blackmailed or libeled anyone.
The Fifth Circuit has upheld a lower court's finding of contributory copyright infringement against ISP Grande, but tossed the calculation of damages. (TorrentFreak)

The ISP was found liable because it did not act on infringement notices, but the calculation of the damages at $47 million was found to be incorrect and excessive. Where a CD was copied, the jury calculated the full damages on each song individually, which was deemed incorrect.

The damage calculation heads back to the lower court while the fundamental matter of law likely goes to the Supreme Court, as the entire industry has an interest in how this turns out.
The Amelia Watson Limited Edition Hyte Y40 PC case is discounted to $199 through October 28. (Twitter)

I already got mine, but that's okay.

And having a physical copy means that the movie will never be altered or deleted because "modern audiences" are offended by something.

For example: I bought a copy of The Matrix when it came out. It's never going to be changed to say the "Wachowski Sisters."

My irritation was when he said "We have an announcement on all the restrictions from Chinese Lung AIDS at the press conference at 10 this morning!"

If you have the information, release it right then and there and then you can have the press conference to answer questions.

95 Can't Ingenious peoples day also be shown to be also important. The local government offices are close on Monday, to celebrate the Indian (with a feather) day. Poor Columbus, relegated to the dustpan of history.

I'm proud to say that my bank observes this coming Monday as "Columbus Day".

A few weeks ago Kidsharn and I went to the theatre for a 50th Anniversary showing of "Blazing Saddles". Most of the other patrons were 29 or our children's ages. Everyone had a great time.

109 As I remarked on an earlier thread, how is Bill Clinton going to convince anyone on the fence ( IS anyone on the fence ? to vote for Kamala?) He might be able to fake it "man of the people" stuff but he's worth at least $250 million dollars. Unlike Trump who worked with
Working class people, I don't think Clinton has had any dealings with them since he was running for President.

110 93 Good luck getting an un-edited version of "Blazing Saddles."

Blazing Saddles is one of those movies everyone is sure is canceled, but even though I agree with Mel Brooks that it couldn’t get made today, 1.) it is still available, 2.) it is still uncut, and 3.) people of all stripes still watch it and think it’s hilarious.

Now I admit this was 2014, before the mind virus broke out of the college campuses and Tumblr, but I saw a packed screening at the Castro Theatre in SF, and everyone laughed throughout. Including at the gay jokes, IIRC. (Nobody booed them, that much I remember.)

112 I don't understand how polls can vary so much. One says, "The race is vey close". Another says "Trump is ahead by several points in swing states." I guess that this is just because of the biases of the pollsters and polls used to influence results rather than report accurate numbers?

Regardless, just go out and vote for Trump anyway no matter what polls say.

"They weigh 900 pounds and there are 24,000 of them scattered across the country, typically wired directly into power so you can't even unplug them."

No one thought putting them on a separate circuit with a dedicated breaker was a good idea?
