Slept in this morning. My year started with a blockchain meltdown requiring me to come back from a long-awaited holiday, and that delayed other work so that I've ended up working night and day ever since up to and including having to find a new place to live.
Today I got to sleep a little. After this things get really busy.
Should return to normal in July. I might be sleeping on the floor and working at the kitchen counter for a week or three in between.
Twitter isn't worth that much. Under current management it's not worth 10% of that. But under new management that is not completely insane it could be.
* It's not Musk that's hostile here. The current board and management team view Twitter as their private political playground, and the shareholders - never mind the users - can die in a fire if they don't like it.
And that's a $449 CPU that drops into existing motherboards, competing with Intel's new factory-overclocked $739 Core i9-12900KS.
Outside of games - which don't use more than 8 cores because that's what consoles have - chips like the 12 core Ryzen 9 5900X (currently as low as $379) and the 8+8 core 12900K soundly beat the 8 core 5800X3D on heavy multi-threaded workloads.
It's a bit of a niche chip but it's not bad at general purpose stuff and it's not overpriced.
Renesas - which if you're not familiar is a Japanese electronics giant formed after divisions of Hitachi, Mitsubishi, and NEC were spun off and merged - has introduced the first PCIe 6 chips. (Tom's Hardware)
Given how long the industry was stuck at PCIe 3, it's amazing how quickly these new generations have been adopted. I don't know if PCIe 6 will actually hit the desktop market any time soon, but I didn't think PCIe 5 would be here already and it is... Sort of.
Hey @github did you really mean to bill us for 30,000 YEARS of compute time in Actions usage? I don't think I can afford this $127 million bill. pic.twitter.com/0qzxz949ps
I thought I might have mentioned this one here, but now I don't think I did. I did mention a toolbox app for the Kindle Fire, but that's completely different.
It's close to the perfect small laptop: Core i9 12900H CPU, 32GB LPDDR5, a 1TB SSD, a 14" 2880x1600 90Hz touchscreen OLED display, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, USB-A, headphone jack, and microSD card, a physical privacy shutter over the webcam, and a pressure-sensitive pen. Oh, and a MIL-STD-810H chassis so you can just hose it out.
