Daily Tech News 28 January 2025

Top Story

You can't predict how AI will behave. (Scientific American)

You can't predict how people will behave either, except in general terms. Toddlers are going to do toddler things. Malignant dirtbags are going to do malignant dirtbag things.

AIs are going to do AI things. Stop acting surprised.

Tech News

PebbleOS, the operating system for the Pebble smartwatch, which was acquired by Fitbit, which was acquired by Google, is now open source. (Google)

RePebble (name subject to change) is a company formed by the created of the Pebble to, uh, recreate the Pebble.
AMD says its new Strix Halo chips can beat - by margins ranging from a little to a lot - an RTX 4070. (Tom's Hardware)

An RTX 4070 running at the same TDP, though, which means a laptop 4070.

Still pretty good.
After four days working with an AI assistant, I'm now keeping notes with pen and paper. (Nemo)

Sounds about right.
Anthropic has built RAG into Claude as the Citations module. (Ars Technica)

Now it will lie about the contents of the links it provides you, instead of lying about the existence of the links it provides you.

Musical Interlude

Song is Everything Now by Canadian band Arcade Fire. Anime is Ano Natsu de Matteru - Waiting in the Summer - which is sort of but not exactly a retelling of the older Onegai Teacher only better.

I like this video more than the original one released by Arcade Fire themselves. The anime is bittersweet, where the original music video looks like Nebraska after the zombie apocalypse burned itself out.

Disclaimer: Zombies are going to do zombie things.
