Daily Tech News 25 March 2023

Top Story

Why the banking crisis probably isn't a repeat of 2008 - for now. (Chase)

Yeah, this is the opposite of convincing. Bank runs are a self-fulfilling prophecy, but being told the economy is booming in the middle of a recession does nothing to allay that.

Tech News

ChatGPT can write code - so long as it has seen the code before. (Twitter)

It scored 10/10 solving problems it had been trained on, and 0/10 solving problems it had not.

What's more, just as it does when asked for references to support its claims, ChatGPT will hallucinate when writing code and use APIs that do not actually exist.

Which is rather like charging a customer $500 for replacing their blinker fluid.
Big socket is big. (Tom's Hardware)

I've mentioned many times the capabilities of the latest server CPUs - over 100 cores, a gigabyte or even tens of gigabytes of cache, a dozen memory channels per socket, and so on.

Something I haven't mentioned so often is that these chips are huge.
Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel and the man behind Moore's Law, has passed away at 94. (AnandTech)

He retired in 1997 so he hasn't been active in the industry in a long time, but his contributions were huge.
How dare you refer to the Chinese Communist Party as "communist"? That's racist! (The Verge)

Sure, Congress is - as P. J. O'Rourke noted - a parliament of whores, but the CCP is communist and TikTok is a tool of the Chinese state, which is to say, a machine of a genocidal communist dictatorship.

Disclaimer: Also, McCarthy was right.
