• Micron and Hynix have unveiled their new SOCAMM memory modules for laptops, mini-PCs, and anything else that needs a lot of memory in a little space. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  They start at 128GB running at 7500MHz. And that's with 16Gbit chips, where Micron is already shipping 32Gbit chips.
  
  The modules measure 14mm x 92mm, so about the same size as an M.2 SSD.
  
  These aren't proprietary but also aren't the same as existing (if rare) CAMM2 modules, and will initially be produced specifically for Nvidia's new AI servers.

• AMD has already sold 200,000 9000-series graphics cards. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  The 9070 XT is mostly out of stock but the base 9070 module seems to be in good supply, with even overclocked models available at or close to MSRP.
  
  
  
• GitHub Actions are a mess. (Feldera)
  
  These "actions", which let you automatically run code against your code, are what led the other day to 20,000 projects being compromised at once, because on action belonging to another project which they all relied on was in turn compromised.
  
  But when you look more closely, things get even worse.
  
  
  
• Why I'm no longer talking to architects about microservices. (Container Solutions)
  
  Because nobody can agree what a microservice is.
  
  
  
• Twitter users are asking Grok to fact check people and it's kind of annoying. (Tech Crunch)
  
  And often wrong, like any other AI.
