Daily News Stuff 14 November 2024

Top Story

The FBI raided the home of the CEO of betting platform Polymarket - which predicted the re-election of President Trump for some not very useful value of "predicted" - and seized his phone and other electronic devices because they felt like it. (New York Post)

No charges have been brought, nobody has been arrested, the FBI and DOJ haven't even hinted at an investigation.

They just did it.

Tech News

Solidigm, formerly Intel's SSD division, now part of SK Hynix, formerly Hyundai Electronics, has announced a 122TB SSD. (Serve the Home)

It's available in various formats including a traditional 2.5" disk drive (albeit NVMe) and has a peak transfer rate of 7.4GBps. Price not mentioned but it will be a lot.
Bluesky now has 15 million users. (The Verge)

Bluesky has some good features, but to compete with Twitter it has to be what Twitter is not, and it has chosen to be a home for neurotic leftists who cannot tolerate dissenting views.

It will die.
Can AI solve advanced math problems? No. (Venture Beat)

Oh well.
xAI's new AI datacenter has been approved to increase its power consumption from 8MW to 150MW. (Tom's Hardware)

Which used to be a lot.
Half of my Phase Connect plushies have shipped. (Just checked, actually 11 out of 17 have shipped.)

Can't provide a link because this was a limited time offer and the page was taken down when they sold out - 18 months ago. But they look derpy as heck.

Disclaimer: I came here to ship plushies and chew bubblegum, and the plushies are delayed by 18 months...
