Top Story

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has described ChatGPT as "the greatest thing in the history of ever". (WCCFTech)

ChatGPT runs on 25,000 high-end Nvidia GPUs costing thousands of dollars each. We are assured that this is purely coincidental.
Speaking of high-end Nvidia GPUs the laptop version of the RTX 4060 will soon deliver performance equivalent to the 3070 at the price of the 3070 Ti. (WCCFTech)

That's not actually a good thing.

Tech News

The new all-Chinese MTT S80 graphics card delivers performance almost matching Nvidia's 1030. (WCCFTech)

This is a good thing - for Nvidia, since the 1030 is a low-end low-power card that is several years old, and the MTT S80 is none of that.
Namecheap's email didn't get hacked, exactly. (Bleeping Computer)

They use SendGrid to deliver customer emails, and SendGrid did get hacked.
Intel's low-power 13th generation desktop chips have arrived. (Tom's Hardware)

These run at a nominal 35W and a peak of 105W. Yes, that's a huge range, and you're may be better off with a 65W AMD CPU which will peak at less than 90W.

The 13900T is 5% faster overall than AMD's 7900, and the 13600T 10% faster than the Ryzen 7600. But that's comparing 24 cores to 12 in the first case, and 14 to 6 in the second, so your mileage may vary. A lot.

4 Morning again, all,

Regarding hybrid cars, Buick offered mild hybrids for some years. The Regal and LaCrosse (RIP) both did. But they offered the battery tech only with an anemic 4-cyl. engine, 180 hp. I had that in the Regal, and it was underpowered in a compact-ish car. In the heavier LaCrosse it would have been pathetic. Put the hybrid stuff with a 280-300 hp engine, and you'd have something. I'd love to have power to spare plus 40 mpg in the city.

But I guess there isn't room for all of that?

No, I just meant that GM apparently thinks there isn't room for both battery and a biggish 6-cyl. engine under the hood in today's cars. Though now that I think about it, doesn't the battery go in the trunk? Maybe they think their customers for a hybrid don't care about horsepower?

I like a little larger car because I drive on some of the worst streets in Amerca, and a longer wheelbase tends to produce a smoother ride. And bigger cars, esp. near-luxury, have more sound insulation. I don't want to "feel the road," not here.

16 I assume California's ban on fossil fueled cars/trucks/ and just about everything else that runs on gas or diesel doesn't include hybrid vehicles. 2030 is the date when 50 percent of all cars sold need to be EV.
5 years later all must be EV. Maybe Newsome will be gone by then, but I wouldn't count on it, if he can't make the WH. Term limits?

20 We can hope that the other states, what hitched their wagons to calizuela's CARB follies, will wise up and rescind those stupid laws.

Also, there are other states what wisely decided to go their own way re: EVs-- no oppressive requirement to ban ICEs.

Agreed. But what's gonna happen in real time?

Let's say the deadline has come & gone; no more ICEs can be sold there. Do they grandfather all those already on the road? Or do they fk over those owners with fines, or perhaps special licensing fees?

What about people (LOL) moving into CA with ICE cars? Again, does CA tell them not to move in, or fk them over too, with fines/fees?

The U.S. market doesn't want it.

The China market DOES want it (40% by 2030), and China is the U.S. manufacturers' biggest market.

And China is, and has been, doing it entirely to damage the U.S. by using the U.S.' own manufacturers and economy and laws to do it.

It's very smart once you understand how it all fits together.

31 Oh, California will try and permit and tax their way to a goal but the numbers don't lie. New vehicle registrations in 2022 were roughly 13 million nationwide, 2 million in Cali. Nationwide EVs and hybrids accounted for 700 - 800 k vehicles. The only time we have seen a 13 fold increase in heavy industrial manufacturing tempo in less than a decade was WW2. As we say in my part of Texas, "you can't get there from here."

And I suspect 50-100K, maybe even fewer, were EVs bought by private individuals (vs corporations and government).

Hybrids I can understand, but they throw those numbers in to mask the actual EV numbers. Hybrids are banned, too, because they use gas engines.

We wont.

It will just be illegal for us nobodies to use it. I've posted it before, but suspect production and refinement will continue on essentially unchanged, and it will be considered a resource that the feds have to prop up with taxing and borrowing. Price per gallon might even go down once that happens because we'll be spending tax dollars, and there's no limit to tax dollars.

And the added benefit is additional destruction of your savings via inflation.

He handed them starlink to help with their communication problems, now they are demanding more. Kind of funny.

Considering the entire west is using Ukraine as a proxy for fighting Russia, I find it kind of hilarious that they do not have some sort of equivalent military tech for communication. That they have to rely on Starlink makes one want to ask the question: what the fuck have you been doing the past 40-60 years?

and states that matter to the U.S. market are outlawing gas burning cars on the - coincidentally - exact same timetable as communist China.

This isn't doom and gloom or a conspiracy theory or fun speculation. This is happening as we speak, same as people losing their jobs if they didn't accept an experimental injection.

And I doubt even 1% of all annual EV sales are to private individuals. No one wants them, and it doesn't matter one single bit.

I was thinking about the phenomena of mono-cities in Sovietland. The idea that you plan out a city to do just one thing int he middle of nowhere (where no city or only a small village existed.) Now in the sovietland, as the soviet union fell apart and the demand for these singular resources went away, these cities largely failed or are in the process of failing.

How is china doing their Ghost Cities? These are obviously planned growth centers, but do they lack even the virtue of producing a resource as in the Soviet case? I never see a purpose suggested for why this city is here or there. I do not know. Need to read up on them.

138 And the other thing is, the money given to fund the project is the money given, so the less spent on actual construction, the more goes into the developer's pocket.

That is what collapsed their development bank. Money was going out, but nothing was coming in, and debts were floated with bonds backed by a few deposits for future projects. One project failed, people demanded their deposit back, and the whole house of cards fell.
