Daily Tech News 16 April 2025

Top Story

OpenAI is now building its own social network. (The Verge) (archive site)

Prediction: This will work out just like Bluesky, only with even more deranged screeching.

Might be a cool gig for the developers, as long as you have another job lined up for when the whole thing burns down, falls over, and sinks into the swamp.

Tech News

Nvidia has announced its new RTX 5060 Ti starting at $379 and RTX 5060 starting at $299. (Tom's Hardware)

With the teeny tiny drawback that actual retail prices start at $529 and you won't be able to buy one at all.

Even hardware review channels with 16 million followers can't get hardware to review.

About the only thing this launch does is put a cap on the price AMD can charge for its 9060, and it doesn't even do a good job of that.
4chan got hacked. (Ars Technica)

It sounds like it got hacked a lot.
Figma sent a cease-and-desist letter to no-code startup (don't ask) Lovable (seriously, don't ask) demanding that the latter company remove the term "dev mode" from its product, because somehow Figma has a trademark on that term. (Tech Crunch)

What.
Just a reminder: Nanashi Mumei is Shachimu, and Gawr Gura is Senzawa.

In both cases their old channels have over a million subscribers already so they won't have any problems if they decide to pick up where they left off. Though Shachimu has already said not to expect such a thing, at least not any time soon. Chronic health issues do not resolve themselves with a change of avatar.

You need one of these. It's a manual brewer, but it works great. And makes fantastic coffee!

10 Wednesday of Holy Week:

Most merciful God,
Your blessed Son, our Savior, was betrayed, whipped, and had his face spat upon.
Grant us to endure the sufferings of the present time, to overcome all that seeks to overwhelm us, confident of the glory that shall yet be revealed;
Through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.

26 Strange dream: I was working at a TV station (which I never have done) and was apparently a lame duck, as I was working with my replacement. She had moved the coffee machine, for one thing, and had a habit of distributing flyers to everybody to tout her "accomplishments."

Then the setting morphed to the mean streets outside. Somehow I was caught up in a shooting war between cops and some gang. I sneaked away, found myself going through a Sears (!) at a mall, and out to my car . . . which was a tiny, tan Honda sedan that I could barely see out of. And it was raining.

Then I woke up and got up. Whatta start to a Woden's Day.

33 Black Bear Road (wikipedia)

Black Bear Road or Black Bear Pass, and officially Forest Service Road 648, is a dirt road that starts from the 11,018-foot (3,358 m) summit of Red Mountain Pass on U.S. Highway 550 (between Ouray and Silverton) to Telluride, Colorado. The road crests at Black Bear Pass, elevation 12,840 feet (3,910 m), and descends over a set of switchbacks as it navigates the heights above Telluride. The road passes Bridal Veil Falls, the highest waterfall in Colorado. In 1975, the road was the subject of a spoken-word song and album of the same title by country musician C. W. McCall.

37 Good morning, good people. Brisk this AM but you can feel the latent warmth regardless. In my camping stuff is an old drip coffee maker that brews the smoothest coffee you ever tasted. No markings as to maker, just a simple aluminum affair that does 6 cups.

Yesterday I tested my thermos bottles--the "jingle" check and 1 of 6 passed. If there is anyone tougher on thermos bottles I'd like to meet them. This may be the year we go to some really good ones, even the cheapos are getting more than I want to invest.

38 CW McCall did ok in life. Married to the same woman for 70 years. Had kids, grandkids, and a couple of g-grandkids. Was mayor of the Colorado town he retired in. Died at age 93 from cancer.

All in all, he sounded like a decent guy. He did alright.

53 I had such a nice experience at the store yesterday. I was buying some flowers for our church ( People give money for flowers for Easter in memory or in honor of loved ones or to the glory of God.) The man who was the cashier - an older black man - commented on the lovely flowers and I said "God made flowers." I don't always witness like that, but I was just happy about the look and smell of the hyacinths) . It turned out that the man is a Christian and a musician and plays in his church praise band. Anyway, it was a really nice conversation about our shared faith and I appreciated him as well as the talk.

I think there might have been a small bit of acrimony over the guy essentially hijacking another person's blog for his own shadow blog of curated links. Sure, many appreciated it, and i never cared one way or the other, but that might also be a factor. At some point that i can't quite define, you're no longer "just" a commenter, you're an unofficial (and possibly uninvited) sub-blogger. A couple links here and there is a conversation. A whole bunch as a regular feature could be considered over the line. I don't know and don't care either way, just throwing out a possible explanation.

89 With the teeny tiny drawback that actual retail prices start at $529 and you won't be able to buy one at all.

Even hardware review channels with 16 million followers can't get hardware to review.

Nvidia really has practically given up on GeForce by the looks of the launch of the 5000 series.

It’s looking like they’ll be doing a “Super” refresh next year, to fix all the problems with the cards, just like they did with the 4000 series.
Maybe by then Jensen and crew will get it together to supply the market that made them what they are today.

I’m convinced the best thing Nvidia could do for gamers now would be to spinoff GeForce into a subsidiary and enable them to get their own designs and chips fabricated without having to share/compete with the moneymaker AI chips.

But I’m also convinced that’s the last thing Jensen would ever do.

107 The Propaganda Press is yapping away about the Maryland gang dude "deported in error" to El Salvador. This is a repeated, knowing falsehood. Steven Miller explained the facts to them, using words of few syllables and offering crayons to all of them beforehand, but they keep saying the lies. The guy was deported because he was ordered deported by an immigration judge, who, incidentally, found him not the "father of the year" (as Karoline Leavitt mockingly described him), but an MS13 gang member.

The press really is the enemy of the people, when they are supposed to be the protector of our liberties. I blame the lefties at Columbia School of Journalism. Do they get federal grants we can cut?

118 So ... An AI programmed by transhumanist collectivists at OpenAI will administer a social network.

I can only assume that it will carry its developers prejudices to their logical conclusions. If a user misgenders a faggy freak, or says Make America Great Great Again, or one of a million other revanchist transgressions, then NetSky's Trust & Safety Subroutine will place CP on his hard drive and report it to the FBI.

Eventually, it will optimize operations for streamlined safety, and simply deploy EATR-powered Boston Dynamics Reaverbots to rend the H8Rs limb from limb and use their flesh for fuel as they relentlessly hunt their inherently unreliable family and friends for sport.

I assure you you have racist friends but there just not open about it to you because you are so sensitive about it.

153 And I know a number of people who were racist and grew out of it because they got to know a black person in a social situation.
