Daily News Stuff 10 March 2026

Top Story

Anthropic has sued the Pentagon for listing it as a supply chain risk, asserting, as far as I can tell, that treason is a constitutionally-protected right. (Fortune)

And that being labeled as a traitor is a violation of that right.
Switzerland meanwhile has enshrined the right to use cash to their constitution. (Politico)

Some small shred of sanity in an increasingly insane world.

Tech News

Intel's Bartlett Lake CPUs - running on the widely available Socket 1700 platform and offering up to 12 Performance cores - are now official. (Tom's Hardware)

You can't get one through normal retail channels, but they'll probably show up in abnormal channels.
Lawful but awful: What AI does to so-called "copyleft" software licenses like GPL. (Hong Minhee)

It kills them, that's what.
MariaDB will not be moving its Galera cluster tool from its open source range to its proprietary software. (The Register)

Maybe. Probably. Could it even do that with Galera licensed under the GPL?

See above.
Amazon is whining about SpaceX. (The Register)

Again.
Anthropic has just announced an AI code review tool. (Tech Crunch)

Is it AI powered or is it designed for reviewing AI-generated slop?

Both.
Sony's PlayStation 6 won't be delayed due to high memory prices. (WCCFTech)

It will just cost more due to high memory prices.

Musical Interlude

Bonus Interlude

Yes, that's the same band.

I think.

Disclaimer: No, I don't know either.

Back from the shelter. Seems like no harm done.

Anthropic is entropic. Also misanthropic. The DoD ought to confiscate their tech and make them all galley slaves.

9 Poke.

10 Yeah! May the GPL die a horrific death. The MIT license is a better license, anyway.

11 G'Day everyone

12 Also, the got who wrote that article is a fucktard. He can take the whole thing and use it under the MIT license, so what is the problem?

13 Watched a nice video on Hypercard last night. A comment lead me to Decker.

https://beyondloom.com/decker/

It's similar to Hypercard with its own programing language. Run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I'm gonna try installing it today.

See you in a couple.

=====================
The SAVE Act is now the central struggle between the Uniparty Senate, as represented by the painfully and stubbornly clumsy John Thune, and the citizens of the United States, virtually all of whom support the bill. The bills virtues or mistakes no longer matter, it has a political importance from the Uniparty battling to control the Senate GOPe caucus.

he is like most members of Congress
a political whore- he has sold his ass to his financial backers

People, Congress doesn't work for us
it works for the monied interests which pump a river of cash thru the Capitol building

32 Now Politico implies Trump might be willing to save John Cornyn if the Senate passes the Save Act.

33 I don't know if this qualifies as a tech thread comment, but I am having a whole house humidifier installed today

I've had enough of this Atacama Desert-like dry air
