Top Story

AMD's Zen 7 CPU is on its way with up to 16 cores per chiplet and 224MB of cache (including 3D V-cache), on TSMC's 1.4nm process. (WCCFTech)

In 2028.

Unless it isn't, in which case it's not.

Like Zen 6, which will arrive in servers this year, the desktop version is expected to remain on the existing AM5 platform, making for easy upgrades.

Does anyone actually like JavaScript library React? (JSX.LOL)

No.
That new Chinese GPU I made fun of recently for delivering a fraction of the performance of Nvidia's RTX 4060 (or as other tests have shown, of the even older RTX 3060) has booked 30,000 pre-orders worth around $15 million in two days. (Tom's Hardware)

I guess there's an untapped market for pain.
If you are running Ghost CMS the best time to upgrade was February 19. (Bleeping Computer)

16 NEWS!!!

Researchers have built a quantum battery prototype that if scaled up to a functional size would only have to be charged every few years in under a minute by lasers that are not in contact with the battery. The EV communists immediately declared fossil fuel engines are so dead and started keying Teslas. It should be noted that the battery prototype is only able to hold a charge for a few billionths of a second which did nothing to tamp proclamations that this is a game changer.

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing—
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the king?

The king was in the counting-house
Counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlor
Eating bread and honey,

The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes.
Along came a blackbird
And pecked her on her nose.

51 The illegal aliens being held at Delaney Hall in Newark New Jersey are staging a hunger in labor strike. The illegals are claiming that they have been served beans and salad with worms inside, of being placed in crowded rooms without air conditioning and having their immigration cases ignored by federal judges. Some have been there for a year.

Oh no. Oddly, the illegals never seem to figure out all this could have been avoided by not breaking into the country illegally.

Meanwhile outside, Antifa shock troops are causing a full-blown riot that is being attended by the Governor and other New Jersey politicians. One of them is demanding that Antifa be allowed to inspect all vehicles entering and leaving the facility.

Absolute genius solution. Color me shocked that it hasn't been rolled out nationally.

Aside from that: The furry thugs are well. Also today I hope to hear from my realtor about a video tour of this new house listing I mentioned yesterday. It's so nice-looking I can't imagine it will last long. If it's as nice as it appears, I'm going to tell him, "Put in my offer now!"

70 Last night I dreamed about my late red tabby cat Arizona. He and I were living in an apartment not far from where I used to work. For some reason the front window cranked down like that in a car, and at one point when I'd left it down, AZ leaped out and down toward a sort of rocky gutter near the street. I zipped out and scooped him up, but suddenly he was sick: He had lost four of his fourteen pounds, his muzzle was lengthening like a collie dog's, and his head fur was turning blue. Of course he struggled about going into the carrier to the vet -- and Miss Linda had brought over several kittens for some ungodly reason, who had to be evicted from one carrier before I could put AZ in the other.

Then I woke up with Stirling next to me.

Cats. Huh.

Terre Haute, IN, a good piece away from the river. It's a bungalow, small porch, 3BR-1bath, 2-car garage, partly-finished basement, with all the appliances to come with it. All it *appears* to need from me is to have carpet removed from the hardwood floors (though they might need refinishing) and repaint two walls in the dining room. It checks all my boxes, including the price. Property tax is low, Progressive's estimate for insurance is not bad.

We need to see if it has central A/C and gas heat, and of course the inspection will tell me if there are any deeper issues.
