Daily News Stuff 10 March 2026

Top Story

Anthropic has sued the Pentagon for listing it as a supply chain risk, asserting, as far as I can tell, that treason is a constitutionally-protected right. (Fortune)

And that being labeled as a traitor is a violation of that right.
Switzerland meanwhile has enshrined the right to use cash to their constitution. (Politico)

Some small shred of sanity in an increasingly insane world.

Tech News

Intel's Bartlett Lake CPUs - running on the widely available Socket 1700 platform and offering up to 12 Performance cores - are now official. (Tom's Hardware)

You can't get one through normal retail channels, but they'll probably show up in abnormal channels.
Lawful but awful: What AI does to so-called "copyleft" software licenses like GPL. (Hong Minhee)

It kills them, that's what.
MariaDB will not be moving its Galera cluster tool from its open source range to its proprietary software. (The Register)

Maybe. Probably. Could it even do that with Galera licensed under the GPL?

See above.
Amazon is whining about SpaceX. (The Register)

Again.
Anthropic has just announced an AI code review tool. (Tech Crunch)

Is it AI powered or is it designed for reviewing AI-generated slop?

Both.
Sony's PlayStation 6 won't be delayed due to high memory prices. (WCCFTech)

It will just cost more due to high memory prices.

Musical Interlude

Bonus Interlude

Yes, that's the same band.

I think.

=====================
The SAVE Act is now the central struggle between the Uniparty Senate, as represented by the painfully and stubbornly clumsy John Thune, and the citizens of the United States, virtually all of whom support the bill. The bills virtues or mistakes no longer matter, it has a political importance from the Uniparty battling to control the Senate GOPe caucus.

36 Evening and morning for a Tiu's Day to all the late toilers, early risers, insomaniacals, and even you planet-wreckers!

Amazingly, a certain big black cat whose name rhymes with "curling" did NOT leap across me and kick me awake at 3:30. He did trill and jump up next to me; I pulled him gently down next to me, and closed my eyes, determined to go back to sleep. And somehow I did, for a whole extra hour. Two days in a row, yet! Whoo-hoo!

How did everybody's First Day on DST 2026 go?

42 There are remits of company towns where I grew up in upstate NY. A large building which held the company store with offices upstairs. 50 or more all identical houses lining the streets in the town. Modest houses, which most have survived to this day. The factory is long gone, and most people will drive through it and not realize what it all was. I read where the workers even got free health care, dental care, etc. I believe this was true through out the north east and mid west. Especially in the coal mining areas.

You'll catch up, G & R.

Stirling has always been a snuggler. This 3:30 am leaping/kicking entertainment of his is fairly new -- only in the last few months. If he'd done this while I was still working, I'd have had to lock him out of the bedroom.

Which I did when he was a small kitten; he wanted to milk-tread me and even try to nurse my arm. I'd let him into the bedroom when I got up, and he'd throw himself on me every morning.

51 I'll work out today and tomorrow, skip Thursday -- it will probably be raining in the am -- and finish out the week on Friday.

I'm trying the classic New England farmer's "early morning aches and pains" panacea: apple cider vinegar and honey dissolved in a glass of water. Since honey does not dissolve well in cold water, last night I heated some water, mixed the glassful, and put it in the refrigerator to drink when I got up. I'll make up another dose just before dinner. Maybe it will help, along with coffee and the workout, to ease those niggling aches. And the honey may give me some more workout energy!

53 Now Politico implies Trump might be willing to save John Cornyn if the Senate passes the Save Act.

It will be interesting to see who Cornyn's friends are. No one in Congress cares about their voters, just the Establishment and the Party Stewards.

So for John to stay, the other Senators who hate us and are gaslighting us about sponsoring the bill but doing nothing that even resembles sponsoring (eg advancing, advocating, etc.) would have to vote to take apart the very system that puts them into office.

What will likely happen is that SAVE America Act doesn't become law, John still loses the primary to Paxton and the remaining GOP Senate funds skip Texas in the generals and we in Texas have to beat the mega money put behind Screwtape because the GOP Senate wants to teach us a lesson about not electing their cronies.

I'm still fighting for the SAVE America Act and Paxton despite these bastards and will be keeping score.

non sequitur
noun

a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement: his weird mixed metaphors and non sequiturs.

ORIGIN
Latin, literally ‘it does not follow’.

62 Sleep is nowhere to be had after knee replacement surgery, an aftereffect no one mentioned to me in the lead-up but now I find is standard.

In desperation I ate a third of a gummie last night, something a friend recommended. At 3 mg, that is a very light dose of THC. For the first time in six weeks I got nearly 5 hours of sleep, for which I am thankful!

Anyway, for those looking for ideas on how to get a nights rest, gummies helped.
