Top Story

Intel has launched its Xeon 6 server processors, boasting up to 128 cores (full-size, not "efficiency" cores) and using up to 500W of power, to compete with AMD. (Hot Hardware)

Intel has been far behind AMD in this space since the first Epyc processors launched in 2017. Intel hopes to start taking back market share with these new chips, priced starting at...

Well, you can't actually buy them, but when you can they'll be great. Really.

California Governor Gavin Noisome has vetoed a bill that would have required browsers to allow users to tell websites not to sell their fucking personal data to every criminal organisation in the world. (Ars Technica)

Even the Ars Technica commentariat didn't like that.
Booting Linux on an Intel 4004. (Tom's Hardware)

The 4004 is running an emulator because it lacks most of the hardware (not to mention the address space) to run Linux directly, but it's real Linux on a real 4004 chip from 1971.

It takes almost five days to boot, and sixteen hours to list the contents of a directory.
The DOJ is suing Visa for "profound and persistent weaselry". (The Verge)

Sounds about right.
The world's largest banks are lining up to support nuclear power, with plans to triple the world's nuclear capacity by 2050. (Business Insider)

That should drive the degrowthers into a tizzy.

Also mentioned in the article is that Microsoft has tapped a well-known nuclear power plant to run its AI datacenters - namely Three Mile Island.
US air traffic control systems are fucked. (The Register)

That's it. That's the story.

Redding Record Searchlight

A California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection employee has been accused of starting a series of small fires this summer in Sonoma County.

Cal Fire law enforcement officials arrested Robert Hernandez, 38, of Healdsburg, on suspicion of arson on Friday morning, the state agency said.

Hernandez is a Cal Fire apparatus engineer who is suspected of starting five fires in the areas surrounding Geyserville, Healdsburg and Windsor in August and September, investigators said. All five fires combined burned less than an acre of wildland.

18 It sounds like Newsom got this veto right:

Newsom wrote that he shares the "desire to enhance consumer privacy," noting that he previously signed a bill "requir[ing] the California Privacy Protection Agency to establish an accessible deletion mechanism allowing consumers to request that data brokers delete all of their personal information."

But Newsom said he is opposed to the new bill's mandate on operating systems. "I am concerned, however, about placing a mandate on operating system (OS) developers at this time," the governor wrote. "No major mobile OS incorporates an option for an opt-out signal. By contrast, most Internet browsers either include such an option or, if users choose, they can download a plug-in with the same functionality. To ensure the ongoing usability of mobile devices, it's best if design questions are first addressed by developers, rather than by regulators. For this reason, I cannot sign this bill."

Posted by: JQ at September 25, 2024 04:25 AM

It became unprofitable within a year or two of 'choice' here in Pennsylvania. The program allowed people a choice of who they would purchase their electricity from. (I know, disregard that aspect for now) So the lefties bought their power from 'green' suppliers and snubbed their nose at nuclear. So Three Mile Island was limited in the amount of power they were 'allowed' to sell. So they shut down when expenses were higher then revenue.

Thanks, JQ. If the thing stays on its predicted course, we will be fine -- and maybe more than that. The weather mavens are saying that after the storm passes our latitude, we should start getting northerly winds and see some (brief) drying for a change, maybe even into Sunday. Wouldn't that be nice.

83 You never really know how any military will match up until you see them in action - everyone thought France would easily defeat Germany in 1939. What actually happens counts far more than all the armchair analysts predictions.

Which brings up one of big surprises of the Israeli conflict so far. We had all assumed Iran was itching for a fight, and would jump at any excuse. A lot of Biden’s foreign policy was based on that assumption. Now Israel has deliberately and openly provoked them, daring Iran to do something. And every time, the Iranian leadership has cowered and backed down. The Iranians love to talk a lot of shit, but their actions shout that they are terrified of getting involved in any real war with Israel. (They should be, of course)

101 interesting, over at Insty:

"A FRIEND SENDS A PREDICTION: “Wild guess, we’re due for a fake assassination attempt on Kamala they’ll blame on Trumpy rhetoric. Dominant storyline the next 6 weeks.”

Yep. Got rid of the Trump assassination attempts in something closer to 6 hours, but this will be different. And probably racist, notwithstanding that Janet Jackson says Kamala isn’t black.

This is sharp contrast to all the wanna-be dictators like the President of Turkey and Columbia.

108 Apparently if you live in Ohio you can bring criminal charges against somebody else. In this case, a pack of allegedly cat eating Haitians are bringing charges of aggravated menacing, complicity, telecommunication harassment, making false alarms, and disrupting public services against Trump and Vance.

I never had this on my lawfare bingo card.

Good morning, Hordians. They're scheduled to start replacing the roof today. We have three pallets of shingles sitting in the driveway. All they have to do is show up, which is open to question.

Horace Rumpole gets hired to conduct a private prosecution.

I wonder of the Haitians now have to hire their own prosecutor.

Hadrian no better way to summon the rain than to strip off the old roof. Good luck

115 Hadrian, no metal roof?

Posted by: Ben Had at September 25, 2024 07:04 AM (I1GXe)

116 Morning peeps

Hadrian, if the roofers show up make sure you've got any fragile wall hangings off their hooks. We had our roof replaced in May and, wow, the amount of banging, dust, etc. was off the hook.

Plus an antique photo of my grandmother took a dive off the wall and shattered.

occurred on July 20th, 1969, the exact day of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

121 "Nancy Pelosi’s husband sold more than $500K worth of Visa stock — just weeks before DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit"

So here's the question: did the Pelosis know in advance about the DOJ suit, or did they instigate it? Democrats are so crooked it's entirely possible they just have DOJ sue companies to pull up the ladder after they've made money on them.
