Top Story
- I noted last week that the RTX 4070 was overpriced in Australia, needing to be under $1000 if it were to have any chance of success.
Today - just days after the launch - some cards have already been reduced to $999.
Still fat and ugly - the nicer two-slot models have not seen price cuts - but at least slightly less horribly expensive.
- The Gigabyte Aero 16 is also overpriced in Australia.
Just saying.
Tech News
- If you just updated your development server from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 and all your LXC containers lost their IP addresses, it's probably a firewall thing. (Linux Containers)
And what's more, an easily fixed firewall thing. Basically LXC can't talk to itself to obtain its own IP addresses. Dumb but fixable.
- Starlark is Python with all the exciting stuff removed. (GitHub)
Making it safe to use as an embedded scripting language.
In fact, you can embed it within Python to use Python code to script other Python code. Only the library to do that doesn't pass callables in either direction - except for the print function - so back to Lupa and LuaJIT I go.
I mean, I could overload the print function to do everything I need, but it's kind of hacky.
- Leading AI companies are eager for onerous government regulation. (New York Times)
Because - though the article fails to grasp this obvious point because it is written by an idiot - that will crush smaller competitors.
- Finland just fired up a new nuclear reactor, the first in Europe in 18 years. (Reuters)
Right as Germany shut theirs down.
One country will be snug and warm next winter. The other will get to freeze in the dark.
- Lenovo's Tab M9 is here, so if you wanted a small (ish) Android tablet with a crappy low-resolution screen, you can now choose from 7, 8, or 9 inches. (Liliputing)
The 7 inch model is complete garbage though.
Still no replacement for the Tab M8 FHD. Not from Lenovo, not from anyone.
Disclaimer: Would have bought two if I'd known.
