Daily Tech News 25 September 2022
Top Story
- Intel's 13900K has a PassMark score. (WCCFTech)
PassMark - the benchmark used on CPUBenchmark.net - isn't a perfect benchmark, since there's no perfect benchmark except running your own application on the target hardware. But I've found it to map very closely to the stuff I run, so it's the one I pay attention to.
Score is 4833 single-threaded and 54,433 multi-threaded. That's around the same multi-threaded score as the 24 core Threadripper 3960X, which uses 280W.
On the other hand, the 3960X came out nearly three years ago, the 13900K uses up to 350W itself if you take off the limits, and the 13900K is also a 24 core CPU.
On the third hand, the 13900K is 80% faster on single-threaded tasks on its Performance cores; it's the Efficiency cores that drag the overall score down.
Still, if the difference between the cores doesn't matter to you, you're getting a workstation-class CPU from a couple of years ago in a standard desktop.
Tech News
- Meanwhile the 7950X has been pushed to 6.5GHz on all cores. (WCCFTech)
On liquid nitrogen, yes, so this is probably not something you'll be doing yourself. And it set some benchmark records, but again, not something you'll see direct benefits from.
What is interesting though is that it only used 270W to do it - something that high-end Intel desktop chips can do without overclocking at all.
I mean, that's still a lot, but it suggests that a good water cooler should be able to support a respectable all-core overclock on this beastie.
- Get3D generates 3D models from images. (GitHub)
It's another of the recent wave of AI-based image generation tools, though it takes a slightly different tack, analysing sets of images and trying to build a consistent 3D model from them. The 2D tools - like Midjourney, which I've been playing with - don't actually have that kind of model of the shape of things, and will simply forget that a person's arms should be roughly the same length, for example, and end with hands.
Since Midjourney (and similar tools) can take an image as reference, you could run the training data through Get3D, generate meshes, render them out into a scene, and then play that scene into the 2D generator to get a final product with consistent geometry, in that people don't suddenly have two heads.
- The new wave of JavaScript web frameworks and why they should all burn. (Front End Mastery)
"Inspired by PHP" is a label very much akin to "LD 50 1ng/kg".
- Nobody wants plant-based meat. (The Guardian)
A vegan friend mentioned that she tried these products a couple of times and couldn't stand the taste. If you you're not vegan or vegetarian, traditionally plant-based meat - the kind where you have a cow eat the grass for you - is just as healthy and a lot cheaper.
- NASA's test launch for the Artemis Moon rocket has been scrubbed for the third time in a row. (CNN)
Unexpectedly.
- People can't even be bothered to steal Amazon's Rings of Power series. (TorrentFreak)
I might check it out at some point. They actually did a pretty good job on Good Omens, and I have a Prime subscription for the free delivery (a big deal now that I'm 300 miles by road from the nearest warehouse).
- Meanwhile I'm watching Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? a.k.a So I'm a Spider, So What?
It's the usual power-trip wish-fulfilment story of a teenage shut-in transported to a world that works like a computer game where they get untold power, except that first, the main character is a girl - common in early "isekai" stories, less so now - and second, in the fantasy world, she's a spider.
It works because being a spider, even a magical spider in a magical world, is pretty awful, and because she survives through intelligence and determination, not through luck or being handed the world on a plate.
I hesitated to watch this one because I'd already read a thousand pages of the manga and I knew the anime took a different approach to the story. But not to worry, while the approach is different, the story itself is intact.
Some things that take a long time to surface in the manga are apparent right away in the anime, but that turns out not to spoil things because even then you still don't know everything that's going on. My guess based on those thousand pages turned out to be dead wrong.

I'm up early to work out, but I doubt I'll go. As it is I have few mornings where I can just relax, and Sunday *should* be one of them. Plus I need to wash the car on the way to the grocery; and washing a car in this climate in September, even early in the morning, is a workout in itself.

Oops. That's getting unpleasantly close to me. I'd better start following the weathercasts more closely.
Last night Miss Linda and I watched the 2018 comedy Game Night w/ Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. It was a delight -- an H'wood film with decent lighting, high energy, and a script laden with funny dialog. Bateman is a master at the "I'm the only one who knows what's going on here, and even I'm confused" shtick. Or maybe you'd call it the "I'm the only sane one here" routine -- both honed during his time on Arrested Development. This film is sheer fun.

Yeah, I'd hoped we'd be spared any brushes this year, let alone direct hits. The currently projected path on Weather.gov shows it heading over the western tip of Cuba early Tuesday, but then curving a bit more to the north. If it doesn't curve . . . Well.

Notsothoreau and NaCly Dog are giving me some important advice about it. Yes, I know the summer heat there can be bad; there's humidity. But can it be worse than this swamp? In any case there is spring and fall there, and winter. And yes, I know about tornadoes. You don't get as much warning of them as you do hurricanes; but the tornadoes don't affect such a wide area, and you don't have to worry about storm surge and rain flooding.

Might consider FL since you are pretty much acclimated to the Gulf climate. Even though it has been filling up for a while, even faster now, there are still some very nice places left. It is very hard to top living in a beach town. A certain type of people are drawn to the water.

I like how Hannity refers to it as "The Free State of Florida." But no -- I am NOT acclimated to this climate. I've been immured here for many years, and even grew up here. But I don't think there is any way you can truly adjust to this foulness. Beach and water, to me = hurricane danger.

It's why I didn't move to Florida when my siblings really pushed it. I don't do extreme weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes), or extremely cold weather. And I sue as heck don't evacuate every year.
VA is the perfect state to avoid all that - we're like Goldilocks for weather in NoVa...just enough of the 4 seasons without ever getting acres of snow/unrelenting cold or unrelenting 110 degree heat...

Here it's any kind of cool-to-cold weather that freaks out the natives. They all want to wear T-shirts and shorts year-round and resent it bitterly when the temp drops below, say, 60. Which is when I come alive.

Statistically speaking, there is an extremely low probability of you suffering any structural damage. The cost of hurricane insurance is a big drawback but living in Florida has a lot of economic advantages, you have to take the bad with the good.
It's easy to blame the media in hyping all the drama but there seems to be some deep seated need for people to get all freaked out about stupid shit.
Driving your car around town is probably the most dangerous thing you can do , taking a shower has a lot of risks. Dismissing Florida as too dangerous because of hurricanes is silly.

Fall weather hit Michigan last week. Nice and cool but sunny. Clouds rolled in yesterday, but apart from some drizzle in the morning, game day in East Lansing wasn't unpleasant (well, except for the football team).
Still, when you're sitting with 400 alumni bandos, the disappointment is mixed with nostalgia. "Gosh, this team is terrible. Reminds me of Perles in 91."
My big takeaway is that I've allowed my musicianship to atrophy to an unacceptable level. I need to do some aggressive practice because I should have to reach to hit middle C.

Next stop later today....Lehigh Valley to be with my father, who is still recovering from his stroke about two months ago, while his wife begins her rehab from the stroke she had last week.
Prognosis for both is very good, and there is a very strong family support structure in place for both.

This is why the Dems across the board are refusing to do in-person debates. They want to get their soundbites out without having to defend them.
It's a coordinated strategy, clearly send out by the DNC. Brand your opponents as traitors and then refuse to debate them. We'll see how this plays out for them.

I also like solid construction for something I directly touch. That is why I still use the IBM 101 keyboard. If this one ever gives out, I will search high and low for a new one. My guys wonder why I still use a laptop for a lot of the things I do when all the other supervisors they know use their phones.

At the football game yesterday, I commiserated with my fellow alums that cell phones have destroyed the joy of youth. Everything is on video. You can't do something dumb or make a mistake without risking your entire future on it.
This is a big reason why young people kill themselves - they screw up, it goes viral, and that's it. They don't know how to bounce back and society tells them that they can't. No apology is every accepted by the digital lynch mob when it comes for you.

Those old movies worked because they were about human nature, which does not change. The taboos change, but the hard-wiring is the same.
This is why woke entertainment fails because people do not act like that. In real life, Mary Sue does not exist. Everyone has a weakness, and I think it's interesting how in the old films and books, heroes often got badly beaten because no person is infallible.

Good points all, but that is not the devices fault per se. They are working with the age they have the most experience with. They are trusting the robustness of a system that seems ephemeral to us. I wonder how high the collective blood pressure rose when that center in Tenn got blown up (did not hear much about it) and cell service was completely down for three days. To me, It was like being a teenager, to them it must have been profoundly disconcerting. I had a guy, 18, whose cell phone went on the blink. You could tell by his mannerisms that it was really bothering him.

My eldest daughter (43) and I were explaining this to her girl.
When we were in high school, if we wanted to pass around a mean photo of someone, we had to take the picture, get it developed, have copies made and hand them out personally.
As well as slam books, which had to be written and delivered by hand.
Compared to point, click, send.

I'd say it was just before Covid 19 hit. They knew what they wanted to do. IIRC, Hillary even mentioned in late 18 that there could be a global pandemic and Trump would fumble the response. EVERYTHING stemmed from that. Even then, that is not the beginning. Nov 2016. That is when we defied/surprised them in such a way that everything had to be destroyed.

Yes, this actually came up. We were talking about some of the crazy crap we did, and commented that now, it would be instantly in a cloud somewhere, whereas back in the day, you had the take the photo and outrun the people who saw you do it.
If they were nice, they'd just take the film and expose it. If not, you'd need a new camera.

They change when the Party's needs change. "Safe, legal and rare" was necessary to gull the moderates, but now "shout your abortion" is the rule because there are no moderates, only good people and fascists.
As Scott Adams likes to say, fear is the best persuader, but it only works if it's credible. If people can defy you, the fear collapses and the resentment it causes can morph into open defiance.

Absolutely.

A government that is confident of its popularity and knows that its policies are working does not resort to threats or weaponizing law enforcement. Only governments that fear popular discontent do this. Because governments depend on legitimacy to rule, it is a very risky strategy, because the more one violates long-standing precedent, the less legitimacy one has. At that point, brute strength and intimidation are all that is left, and these are prone to sudden collapses.
However, what is true of representative governments is not true of foreign policy. When a government announces a full or partial mobilization, that is a time-honored sign of resolution. Depending on the strategic situation, they may be reinforcing a strong hand or trying to save a weak one, but that is a secondary consideration to the FACT that mobilization indicates a willingness to escalate hostilities.
History shows us that mobilizations are almost never a bluff and this is because they impose severe hardships on the nation undertaking them.

Apparently teacher was almost fired last year for "toxic masculinity" and not embracing woke culture. "He's now upping the ante to exploit the very clown world the school and society itself created."
A case of illustrating absurdity with absurdity? Rush Limbaugh would be proud.

I'm not an Iranian woman but I'm ppprrrreeeetttyy sure they would find it repulsive how AOC & her ilk are hijacking their struggle against a murderous dictatorship to solicit sympathy for American women who have to drive several hours to abort their children.
Ocasio-Cortez:
Solidarity with the courageous women and allies in Iran protesting for their freedom. Mahsa Amini was senselessly murdered by the same patriarchal and autocratic forces repressing women the world over. The right to choose belongs to us all, from hijabs to reproductive care.

Most media are nothing but propaganda machines, spreading an agenda.
Did you know that Bill Gates has donated $319 million to different media outlets?
And you wonder why the media is promoting eating crickets and bugs...

It's 28 years today that the classic movie was released, and we have the behind the scenes story by way of fascinating, fun facts [ . . . ]
Also, on the parole forms, we see a picture of a young Red. How he looked when he was locked up. Young Red in the picture is played by Alfonso Freeman, Morgan's son.
Alfonso Freeman also has a cameo in the film when Andy first arrives in Shawshank - he's one of the inmates shouting, "Fresh fish! Fresh fish!"
