Daily Tech News 30 February 2023

Top Story

AMD's new 7950X3D can deliver up to four times the gaming performance of the regular 7950X... When using the integrated graphics. (WCCFTech)

Which is weird, but more importantly highlights the fact that the integrated graphics on AMD's desktop CPUs provide only one sixth the performance of their laptop chips. That means they're slower than the integrated graphics on Intel's desktop chips, and you shouldn't buy one expecting to be able to play games without a separate graphics card.

Actually, something about those benchmark numbers doesn't add up; the scores on the regular AMD chips are too low; they should be much closer to the Intel scores.

Tech News

Meanwhile AMD's 7945HX is faster than Intel's 13980HX while using 40% less power and has the same crappy integrated graphics as the desktop version. (WCCFTech)

The 7945HX is a 16 core laptop chip that uses as much as 120W, which is fine for a desktop but a lot for a laptop. The 13980HX is a 24 core laptop chip that can use more than 200W, which is simply too much.
PCIe 5.0 SSDs are finally here. Don't buy one. (Tom's Hardware)

For the $350 price of a 2TB PCIe 5.0 SSD you can get two 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSDs, run them in RAID-0, get 40% better performance and twice the capacity, and still have a little money left over.

PCIe 5.0 will matter eventually, but it's not used in the one place it would actually make sense, on the connection between the CPU and the chipset. Both AMD and Intel have kept that at PCIe 4.0, because PCIe 5.0 costs too much and runs too hot. Though all their current desktop chips support it.
The Resonance Theory of Consciousness is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience)

This came up in a YouTube channel I've been watching lately, and it's like explaining how cars work by studying only the noise they make. Cars make noise when they move, therefore it's the noise that makes them move.

It's cargo cult science.

Disclaimer: Once you start looking, there's no end of cargo cults out there.

3 Well, whaddaya know, made it! Evening and morning to all! 'Tis Thursday (right?), and we slog on toward the weekend. I have to yell for help via Zoom to the budget office this morning, as i have no idea about some things in this budgeting software platform they use now. (Anaplan. I am going to call it Anal-Plan.)

Writing group tonight; possibly cooler weather tomorrow; another meeting or demo with the budget people; and then The Weekend.

6 I had a double battle with the close-by location of my grocery chain yesterday. First they tried to charge me $5.99 for something I knew damn well was $3.49. Girl has to go check, then come back and take it off, and then get her supervisor to confirm it. Then, as I was leaving, I added up my charges, and they came to a good $10 less than I'd paid. So, back to customer service. Turned out their bottle of Vitamin D was 50% off -- but they put it in the wrong place. I thought it had been $8, thus $4; they said it was $20, thus $10. "Take it off," says I. A 15-minute expedition turned into 40.

I knew there wasn't a reason I hadn't been back to that store in a couple of years.

"Resonance Theory of Consciousness". To paraphrase Pauli, that's not even dumb.

I started to read that paper. It's nothing but Kamala grade word salad.

9 Pixy, I appreciate your analogy summarizing the paper:

"Cars make noise when they move, therefore it's the noise that makes them move."

But I think the authors are more specifically drawing on the Beach Boys, not the Cars, because of their focus on "The notion of resonance (also known as synchrony, coherence, or shared vibrations)."

41 I try to avoid crowds as much as I can because I increasingly dislike the human race. Yesterday, however, went to Houston's big rodeo shindig. The evening is a simple one, a modified rodeo program that lasts about two hours followed by a concert that lasts about 75 minutes. In our row there was a party of 8 next to us (I sit on the aisle) and over the course of the two and a half hours I could manage, between them they got up a counted 29 times. Nachos, beer, bathroom, more nachos , more beer, etc. It was the same at the last ball game I went to there. People don't care about the event or others. First world problem but reinforcing of my attitude to the species.

61 A group of bipartisan senators is quietly meeting to retool Social Security before funds run out in 2032. On the table, according to Semafor, is gradually raising the retirement age to 70 and creating a $1.5 trillion sovereign wealth fund, which would invest in stocks. That fund would be separate from the already existing Social Security Trust Fund.

It will be a big ESG slush fund and maybe return -5%. The original idea from 2000s was to let people use part of their SS to buy into long term investments. This does nothing to get the Big Govt out of the old age welfare Business.

Last night at sundown was a spectacular conjunction of Venus and Jupiter.

I've been reading some arguments that the Star of Bethlehem was actually such as very close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter than occured in 3 - 2 BC.

That was about the closest they've been since, they would've appeared as one star. Timeline is interesting. That conjunction would've appeared first at dawn around August, 3 BC in the east. Then around June of 2 BC, the very close near merger would've occured at dusk.

There's a good argument that was the Star of Bethlehem that brought the "3 wise men".

There was also a triple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn a few years earlier that is also a candidate.

Indeed. Although back in the day, they did not use a numbering system for the year. Each year was named for the two elected Consuls of that year. So officially, Caesar's first year as Consul was the year of Caesar and Bibilus(sp?)

The reforms Caesar put in place I think originally had a leap day every three years instead of four. Then Augustus changed it to every four years, like 30 years later.

I remember reading about that recently, in my astronomical time obsession of late.

The leap year every 3 years was *an error* made by the Roman priests. It was a common "off by one" error of sorts. This error was realized during Augustus time, and he decreed there would be 12 years without leap years to make up for the 3 erroneous days that had been added.

Only problem, the exact dates of this are lost to history, and thus there is uncertainty about dates around this period, which are are somewhere around 1 AD.

176 I'd add that part of the function of media is to provide an arrogant sense of cultish gnosis to the audience.

Spot on. Notice how much that passes for knowledge now is simply keeping up to date with whatever meaningless bullshit fad of the day is being pushed ?

Looking it up, the creation of February with 28 days (originally before leap yeas) goes back to Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome before the republic, reigning centered around 700 BC.

179 PA Repubs asking for Fetterman to prove his is fit.

So lame. The guy is "drooling into a spit cup", as CBD put it.

The Repubs got their ass handed to them, running a Democrat as a Republican. Fetterman and the Democrats owe them nothing, including proving he is fit, until the GOP dials up the volume from lame to eleventy. But they are afraid of looking "insensitive", so it'll never happen.

I dunno. Any "therapy" that involves sit the hell down and relax for five minutes without running your yap about every problem you got is probably not all bad.

I guess I fall into modified Paleo diet now. Less meat, more seafood. That diet which is sorta vegan with fish got a decent carbon score. Vegan, but of course, got the best score. Because transporting lettuce from California to the four corners of the nation is so carbon efficient.

186 The Netherlands sort of invented the modern global economy, so it's no secret they pull a lot of strings. Having a monopoly of global chip production machinery does give you some sway.

Norway has a sweet deal, too. North Sea oil and 99% of their electricity is generated with hydroelectric. But Russia invades the country with next to nothing to offer.
