Daily Tech News 1 August 2024

Top Story

Dating sites Bumble and Hinge allowed stalkers to pinpoint users' locations to within two meters. (Tech Crunch)

They were among a long list of sites with similar problems, allowing malicious users to very precisely triangulate the locations of others.

This has since been fixed, with most sites diluting the precision down to 1km, though Grindr still lets you track people to within 100m.

Tech News

Delta Airlines says the CrowdStrike debacle cost the company $500 million. (CNBC)

If that's accurate, and a majority of affected customers sue CrowdStrike for damages, that could easily send the company into bankruptcy.
Ampere has announced a new generation of 192 core Arm server chips priced at $5555, as well as a 512 core AI processor. (Tom's Hardware)

192 cores is a lot if the cores are good individually. If this is the CPU in question, though, the cores do not seem particularly good.

512 AI cores on the other hand could mean anything at all.
Best Buy seems to have leaked the official prices of the new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs which were supposed to be on sale today. (Tom's Hardware)

They cost around 10% more than the existing Ryzen 7000 models.

But that's comparing the MSRP against the heavily discounted retail price of the previous generation. Compared to the original MSRP the new models are up to $100 cheaper.

Availability is now expected on the 15th. It does seem that the problem goes beyond mere labelling, and involves some chips not delivering on the rated clock speeds. (YouTube)

AMD has recalled and is re-testing all chips produced so far and will replace any that don't meet the spec before they are sold.

If you watch that video it mentions that Intel also doesn't expect to be selling working CPUs before mid-August. At least AMD has Ryzen 5000, 7000, and 8000 that work just fine.
The Venezuelan election results are as real as death statistics out of Gaza.[/urk> (Columbia)

The official numbers are clearly calculated from the percentages, rather than vice-versa.

Amazon is quietly killing a whole list of "devops" services. (DevClass)

"DevOps" is the deliberate intersection of software development and operations, as opposed to the usual process of this simply being the unavoidable 11th Ring of Hell.

The list includes S3 Select (not S3 itself), CloudSearch, Cloud9, SimpleDB, Forecast, Data Pipeline, and CodeCommit. None of these have been shut down - yet - but they are not accepting new customers.
Why we may never know the truth about ultra-processed foods. (BBC)

Because it's all pseudo-scientific bullshit.
Reddit says Microsoft, Anthropic, and Perplexity need to pay to play. (The Verge)

Google and OpenAI are already paying Reddit for search and AI training data.

25 I've been reading the other stories in the anthology, All Will Burn: At All Costs with my tale in it. Mostly they're science fiction, which makes me wonder how mine wound up in there. I guess you could class a story about alternate realities and beings from another reality changing our timelines as SF, though. The editors did a pretty good job, though one story (the overall poorest I've read so far) needed a little more copy-editing.

None at all. This one is third person, with very little humor. However, I do have a couple of mystery novels that I'm preparing to put up on Amazon, and they do have that breezy, truly American kind of narration with actual funny dialog. Not really "cozies" as those are defined today -- but definitely not grim serial killer stories.

Thank you, sir! Yes, Raconteur Press has been putting out anthologies, one a month for some time now, and I think they're getting a good rep. I want to be in their next, which is called "Wyrd West," and am studying the other stories in this one to get more of a handle on what they want. They seem to like action. At least two in this bunch have some military SF to them.

By the way, the Mandina's card has been happily consumed!

This is what I do for a living, and I've never heard of most of these. It sounds like they just got outcompeted by Microsoft.

108 It would not be surprising to see Zen 5 at those prices. Remember it is being built on the same node as Zen 4, and they've managed to make them use less silicon in the process.

With the Raptor Lake debacle, Meteor Lake's disappointing performance and questions on whether Lunar Lake or Arrow Lake will show up on time, this is the time for AMD to push for consumer and laptop market share.

APUs in particular are probably how AMD is going to gain Radeon support, simply by wiping out the sub $200 market for GPUs and low end to mid range dgpus for laptop.

109 AMD sounds like they've had a test escape. Been there, done that, got the lumps to prove it. Not terribly uncommon, but I'm glad they caught it before official release. Much cheaper to them than having to deal with customer returns.

But I agree: the APU stuff is going to really hammer Intel on the laptop and minicomputer scene. Well, that and having a working chip. That Intel clusterf* with the overvoltaging is serious; BTI effects can be mitigated a little, but most overvoltage effects like hot-e are cumulative, uncurable, and massively amplified by higher temperatures.

110 Intel’s on a long, long road to recovery, and over 15,000 workers will no longer be coming along for the ride. The chipmaker just announced it’s downsizing its workforce by over 15 percent as part of a new $10 billion cost savings plan for 2025, which will mean a headcount reduction of greater than 15,000 roles, Intel tells The Verge. The company currently employs over 125,000 workers, so layoffs could be as many as 19,000 people.
