Intel: Raptor Lake faults excessive voltage from microcode, fix coming in August
In what started last year as a handful of reports about instability with Intel's Raptor Lake desktop chips has, over the last several months, grown into a much larger saga. Facing their biggest client chip instability impediment in decades, Intel has been under increasing pressure

—El Doctor Fulano ha operado borracho y casi mata a un paciente.
—A ver, no podemos atacar así a la profesión médica.
Idiótico, ¿verdad?
Pues con los jueces que prevarican, igual.
Y no, no sirve de nada denunciar una prevaricación porque es muy jodido conseguir probarla, y no ayuda que quien va a tener que decidir es amigo del juzgado.

Making an image with generative AI uses as much energy as charging your phone
This is the first time the carbon emissions caused by using an AI model for different tasks have been calculated.
Los parches de seguridad deben ser aplicados inmediatamente por los administradores de sistemas. Aún más si es algún tipo de software de seguridad. Por el malware.
Toda actualización debe ser probada previamente por los administadores de sistemas antes de ser aplicada. Aún más si es algo que puede afectar al arranque o a la seguridad. Porque los proveedores pueden cometer errores.
Ser administrador de sistemas hoy en día debe ser divertidísimo.
Security patches should be always applied ASAP by sysadmins. Even more if it is some kind of security sofware. Because malware.
Any kind of update should be tested by sysadmins before being applied. Even more if it is something that can break booting or security. Because providers can make mistakes.
Being a sysadmin nowadays must be a lot of fun.

La diferencia entre ver Netflix con anuncios o sin ellos es que sin ellos te van a cobrar más del doble. Por ahora, en EE.UU.; pero ya sabemos que sólo son los primeros.
No creo que haya industria a la que le importe tan poco perder clientes y esté elitizando sus servicios de una forma tan brutal como la de las plataformas de streaming. Y más teniendo en cuenta lo mucho que han reducido sus contenidos.
Estos procesos de enmierdamiento siempre acaban igual: con la gente yéndose y buscando alternativas, legales o no.
Y tú, ¿qué piensas hacer con las plataformas de streaming si sigue esto así?

Drastic budget cuts for FOSS, by the EU, and the explanation given is that "because lots of budget are allocated to AI, there is not much left for Internet infrastructure". https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/17/foss_funding_vanishes_from_eus/ So here is one more way that the fever over "AI" bullshit does real harm. Infra projects that protect security, privacy, and other vital needs will be underfunded so that more money can be thrown into the "AI" black hole. Sigh.

I’m annoyed that we’ve found a way to spend 100 times more electricity over standard search to have computers confidently provide wrong answers to questions.
Abascal, el hombre de principios que lleva años diciendo que quiere ilegalizar y encarcelar a los nacionalistas porque son enemigos de su amada patria y luego resulta que es amiguito de Putin y se mete en el mismo grupo parlamentario que los partidos ultras europeos que llevan años cobijando y alentando a Puigdemont.
Este la única patria que conoce es Suiza.
Si crees que es injusto que la gente que es inconcebiblemente rica pague en impuestos menos que tú, quizá deberías firmar esta petición a la UE para paliar esa injusticia.
En España aún no la ha firmado ni la cuarta parte de la gente que hace falta para que salga adelante. Y el tiempo corre.

Please conduct the following simple experiment with all your friends, family and people at your workplace:
Ask if the person receives an average of more than 1000 euros a day in interest/dividend profits credited to their account, or collects corresponding share profits.
If this is not the case, you have found another person who would benefit from a wealth tax and would not be affected by the tax (as a payer). Sign the European initiative to introduce a wealth tax:

Around #solstice, the #sunlight of the setting Sun fills a room in my house. The door of that room has a small #keyhole that lets a bit of light go outside the room, projecting in it onto a hallway wall. It becomes like a giant #CameraObscura. Here's a short #timelapse of todays' #Sun at sunset projected on the wall.

Here comes a thread on light pollution from satellites, with a concrete action that you all can take to help push for regulation of satellites in orbit!
Astronomers have been worried about light pollution from satellites (if you've been following me for more than 24 hours, you've perhaps heard a bit about this). Astronomers spent SO much time and effort begging and pleading with Starlink to make their satellites fainter, with mixed results.

Everyone should immediately stop contributing to the stack overflow and its network. The human touch is what made it unique. Delete your profile from SO AND all your answers. Freeloaders are making money out of human contributions.
"The layoffs included Tesla’s head of EV charging, Rebecca Tinucci, as well as her entire 500-person team. "
So Tesla vehicles don't need charging anymore. Nice.
"staffers working under executives who “don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test” would be out of a job."
So if your boss is an incompetent, you are fired.
"Tesla is going through one of its toughest financial situations in years, with sales dropping and profits down 55 percent year over year. "
By his own criteria for firing people, Musk should be fired immediately.
Ojo, que esta vez no lo dice precisamente un medio de derechas:

Good people don't quit jobs. They quit:
• Low pay
• Bad leadership
• Toxic workplaces
• Micro-managers
• Zero work-life balance
Respect yourself enough to know that you deserve better.
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.

"Ex-Microsoft software developer Igor Ostrovsky believes that soon, there won’t be a developer who doesn’t use AI in their workflows."
Read my lips: **I'll never use AI in my workflows.**
This is profoundly dangerous and unethical technology being promoted to the masses under false pretenses. Shame to see TechCrunch just parroting some startup CEO's propaganda without adequent context as to the nature of "stochastic parrots". Reporters, do your damn job!
