Daily Tech News 10 June 2023

Top Story

Had a fun start to the weekend when our cloud provider at work decided to migrate twenty-five of our servers to new hardware. On a Friday afternoon. 5AM Saturday for me.

Yes, we have everything set up with redundant servers. Doesn't help much when 25 of them reboot all at once.
The creator of dystopian science-fiction TV series Black Mirror used ChatGPT to write the script for an episode.

It was shit. (Gizmodo)

All it did was smush together the scripts for other episodes.

What you need to do to be a successful Hollywood writer is smush together the scripts for other episodes while stealing an idea from somewhere else.

Tech News

The CEO of Reddit has accused the creator of Reddit app Apollo of larceny, pettifoggery, mopery, dopery, and intimate relationships with barn animals, but says he's open to discussion with other developers. (The Verge)

The other developers aren't buying it and are shutting down their apps as well.
Why is Apple finally producing a 15" MacBook Air? Because sales of the more expensive MacBook Pro are in the toilet. (The Verge)

All the major laptop makers are seeing sales declines in the 20-30% range, but Apple is closer to 40%.
Speaking of major laptops HP's ZBook Fury 16 G9 is one. (Notebook Check)

At 2.6kg this is no lightweight - HP's own ZBook Studio 16 weighs in at 1.8kg - but apart from the 16" 3840x2400 screen, the high-end Intel CPU (12th or 13th gen), and Nvidia workstation graphics, it also offers four SO-DIMM slots and four two M.2 slots.* So you can upgrade it to 128GB (and probably 192GB) of RAM and 32TB 16TB of SSD, which is enough even for me.

Four Essential Keys are sort of there in the shape of a full numeric keypad, and it has two Thunderbolt ports, mini Displayport, HDMI, wired Ethernet (just gigabit, sadly), a full-size SD card slot, two USB-A ports, a headphone jack, and a smartcard reader for corporate security stuff.

Price starts at $1500 with a 12th gen Intel CPU and goes up to around $6000 with every available option.

* The review says four, and they have the laptop and opened it up to take a look, but they're wrong.
We don't trade with ants. (World Spirit Sock Puppet)

But we do with bees.
MSI's Spatium M450 1TB M.2 SSD is available for $37. (Tom's Hardware)

Is it any good? Only a year ago it was considered reasonable value at $115. (Tech Powerup)

For less than forty dollars you get two trillion working transistors. I'm not sure how much you can complain that it's a PCIe 4 device that barely runs faster than PCIe 3. It's a technological marvel.

In fact, at that price it could start starting to force the fake SSDs out of the market. You can't make much money selling knockoff Rolexes if the real deal cost ten bucks.

Disclaimer: It's not much, but it's dishonest work.

There's some theory about Alzheimer's that it is a sleep disorder. That the human brain has a housekeeping crew that works on the brain at night, sweeping the floors, gathering the dust, emptying the ashtrays - stuff like that.

If you put that housekeeping crew on short shift the brain starts to act like Joe Biden.

In most movies that feature someone with a laptop, it is usually an Apple product. I wonder if that is brand placement by Apple, and thus paying for the privilege, or just a director's choice? Personally I keep away from such overpriced POS.

Well it seems that all those theories, research, drug development that went on assuming it was those strange proteins causing all the problems, was all just sucked out of someone's thumb early this century. Billions in research down the drain. That 'team' should be physically drawn and quartered. I cannot bear the thought of falsifying even a minor detail in a scientific paper. Putting forth false data is scientific sacrilege.
Why did it take so long to figure out it was all falsified?

I wonder if it has something to do with activity? Mental and physical. I was always struck that people who tried to stay as active as possible in both regards seemed to do better than those who kind of went completely sedentary.

34 Hubby sometimes enters state of mild dementia, due to excess ammonia in his bloodstream, caused by his liver's inability to filter it all out. Said ammonia is produced in the digestive tract and can be 'flushed' before absorption if he uses enough laxative.

It's truly (and literally!) a sh1tty situation. At least (for now) it is somewhat reversible when it does occur.

My suspicion is that more physically active people also sleep better.

Posted by: Divide by Zero at June 10, 2023 05:11 AM (enJYY)

36 For sure, being stimulated and active for a period is more likely to produce a subsequent period of rest. Often without that natural Circadian rhythms get disrupted and sleep cycles become irregular, at odd hours, many become more active nocturnally.

Without a long enough sleep period you never achieve that desired REM state where the brain is supposedly "cleaning" itself.

My sense is although this research may have been corrupted like so much in our timeline, there may be other support for the idea of amyloid plaques as etiology as well as other possible sources such as sleep disorders.

As of 2037, Humanity had been mining from the moon for decades. Unfortunately, they had over-mined the moon by 2037, causing it to drift out of its orbit colliding with the earth's atmosphere, tearing the moon apart and sending debris crashing to Earth. The moon's destruction shifted the orbit between the moon and Earth, devastating the cities on the planet. Luckily, most of the moon stayed intact, while some remained in Earth's orbit, forming a ring around the planet.

90 I have what might sound like a kind of silly prayer request. Today is the date of our town wide rummage sale in which our church is participating. If people could send up a little prayer that it would be successful ( we could use the funds) and that God would be glorified by what we do and say and send people to us who might need prayer and /,or encouraging word, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

I wanted to jump start my diet so I tried the carnivore diet where you just eat meat and mostly red meat (oh, and eggs are okay). Lost 10 pounds in about three weeks. After about three weeks I started to introduce some carbs back into the diet, but not too much (spinach, broccoli, cabbage, etc). Now, I've plateaued with the same calories and exercise. It's aggravating.

Legal Insurrection has posted a surprising set of google map photos from the week before the collapse. In them, you can see the roadway over the dam start to degrade and fall apart a couple days before the actual collapse. This doesn't tell us how the damage occurred, but it does look like a slow motion collapse began several days before the final big collapse; ie, the dam was falling apart.

176 In truly disgusting news, the leader of PETA has stated that when she dies, she wants to be served up with a side of onions. "Meat is meat," she said.

I would oblige her, and dump her body into the wood chipper before feeding her to feral hogs.

>>Smith altered evidence in his indictment. Omitted words from the Bedminister quote to make it seem like Trump said something incriminating.

Smith is a shit weasel and was specially chosen for this assignment because for this reason exactly.

His MO is taking statutes and stretching them beyond reckoning against political actors the regime disfavors.

181 Ryan's take, and this is after talking to Grady from Practical engineering, is that the Russians only had one gate wide open, and it caused that downstream part of the dam to undermine. Made a weak point, combined with the stress of overtopping, caused the collapse.

The project this weekend is to replace some siding with Hardiplank, and then paint. I had to go to 3 Home Depots to find beaded Hardiplank. One store I went to said online they had 320 in stock. When I got there, they had 2, one of which was broken.

The Georgia GOP Convention is this weekend. Georgia Republican Assembly head Alex Johnson says
that a Georgia GOP rule change "will bring ideological purity to Republican candidates".

Under the rule, a majority of delegates can vote to stop " far-right activists" from qualifying.

He likened it to homeowners who put a sign on their lawn advertising they own a firearm to deter thieves.

“Politicians thinking of voting badly will start to vote better,” Johnson said.

368 BREAKING: Sources say Special Counsel Smith does not actually have the supposed "smoking gun" doc Trump is heard on an audio talking about, which means he cannot prove it is classified and thus prove Trump knew it was classified.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. Economics Teacher : Thank you, Simone. Simone.

Ex-employee (fired for doing doughnuts in the parking lot) of mine got jailed yesterday for Child neglect/abuse. House was horrid. Kids the same ages as my Grands. Youngest was found wandering the neighborhood in a shitty diaper which led to a warrant.

I knew there were more issues with this dude than just a shitty work ethic. I should have tried a bit harder to help but HR did their thing.

Doesn't stop me from feeling guilty. I know the kids.

Ima try and talk the DIL and Son to foster. Maybe even.. look.. into.. doing... it.... myself...

Got no idea what the "body count" is from the smoke issue, the reaction I encountered was anecdotal, there was nobody I spoke with that recalled a similar occurrence of this magnitude.

I flew 1700 miles to meet Jesse and go to a cabin in W Va. (No cell service there so he drove me 45 minutes to find a good enough signal to let my family know I was ok and he wasn't a serial killer, and that's when I knew I loved him.) So yes, I would also have to say best decision of my life re: Jesse.

378 The former president stored boxes of classified documents in various locations at Mar-a-Lago, including an office space, his bedroom, a storage room, a bathroom, a ballroom and in the shower, according to the unsealed indictment.

On 5 April 2021, a Trump employee texted a colleague to ask whether boxes in the business center could be moved to make room for staff to use it as an office.

The employee responded, “We can definitely make it work if we move his papers into the lake room?”

First employee: “There is still a little room in the shower where his other stuff is. Is it only his papers he cares about? Theres some other stuff in there that are not papers. Could that go to storage? Or does he want everything in there on property?”

389 On my way to the pickle ball court. For those who are asking, it's a cross between tennis, ping pong, and badminton. Played on a court about 1/3 the size of a tennis court with a ball that resembles a wiffle ball and paddles that look like oversized ping pong paddles.
