sorry I haven't been hosting for a while guys I was busy growing this
mustache I'm uncomfortable reviews are up for the GeForce RTX 580 NVIDIA's
latest AI product formally known as a GPU and for many including lonus Tech
tip Sebastian it's falling a bit flat in Native rendering performance at
1440p which is a lot of P the RTX 580 is
roughly 10% better than the 4080 super and 7% better than amds RX 7900 XTX
those leads increase to 20% and 10% respectively at 4K but the 80 is still
well behind the 490 thanks in no small part to NVIDIA keeping the vram limited
to 16 little gigabytes while the 490 has
24 GB and it does not like to share this
release is disappointing to enthusiasts who remember that the RTX 480
outperformed the 3090 and 3090 TI at
launch although NVIDIA gave it a $1,200 price tag the 5080 only cost 1,000 so
it's missing a whole $200 worth of GPU juice apparently but no matter how mid
reviewers say the RTX 50 Series cards are so far they're still going to be
hard to find NVIDIA has warned of availability issues to significant
demand probably because people just love AI so much and the bubble is definitely
not popping I didn't hear anything solid
I'll be over here aiing guys speaking of which there's a fresh new Chinese AI
model to give us investors more panic attacks e-commerce giant Alibaba has
released quen 2.5 Max which the company
says outperforms deep seek V3 although it can't be run locally how are they
doing this well after deep See's own model indicated to redditors that it was
sometimes confuses itself with chat GPT open AI told the financial times it has
evidence that deep seek trained models on data generated by chat GPT which was
famously trained only on original text handwritten by Sam Alman the manifesto
we call it it's artisanal Microsoft says they're investigating these claims in
case you forgot they're best friends with open AI which we know because
thanks to social media we can follow the friendships and rivalries of tech CEOs
like their Minecraft youtubers now as we said on Monday the US Stock Market
panicked in response to the release of deep seek AI models but does that make
sense I mean there are some reports that while deep seeks chat Bots were trained
on NVIDIA gpus when you use one on the
web now it's running on AI chips made by Huawei which would give us investors
some reason to be worried about NVIDIA's Monopoly however whether these Chinese
models are actually as cheap to train and use as deep sea claims is being
debated by analysts an anthropic CEO Dario amod argues the fact Chinese
companies have to turn to less powerful Hardware is proof that American
restrictions on the export of AI chips are working but let's say sure deep seek
is way more efficient as explained by Sam mman that doesn't mean AI companies
are going to buy less Hardware ah that $500 billion server we don't we could do
250 keep it coming and it doesn't mean that you shouldn't check out our sponsor
the drop bmr1 V2 nearfield monitors
they're compact speakers that can be customized with drop bmr1 grills in
laser Purple shinai Sage and white
minimalism but despite their small size they use balanced mode radiation or BMR
drivers to deliver powerful full range audio while running 25% cooler than its
predecessor plus its Bluetooth capability has been updated to allow
several devices to be stored and its input jack has been redesigned with
automatic muting to stop those pesky plug insertion noises purchase the drop
bmr1 V2 nearfield monitors at the link in the description I thought that was
all the stories but it turns out I saved a quick bit in my mustache mustache
mustache enough Google has open sourc Pebble OS the operating system that
powered Pebble smart watches which you may not be old enough to remember they
were bought by Fitbit which was bought by Google in 2021 well the original
founder of pebble and super Giga Chad Eric meak kovski says the open source
ining means he's bringing Pebble back his new team is working on an open-
Source SmartWatch with a focused core set of features that users can Tinker
with so they don't have to depend on companies to fix stuff like the blue
triangle of death that briefly Afflicted Garmin wearables this week I mean blue
triangle that's not even a thing they made it up what's next pink tetrahedrons
US president Donald Trump said in a speech on Monday that his government
will place tariffs hey on the import of computer
chips and semiconductors to return production of these essential Goods to
the United States the Biden administration's chips act tried to do
this by planning to invest $52 billion in domestic chip foundaries but Trump
says they had it the wrong way around chip companies don't need money they
need an incentive to not pay what Trump says could be a 25 50 even 100% tax wow
it's like he's here and that's why the US is collaborating with every country
in the world to make sure they all Place those tariffs too that way tsmc will
have no choice it's foolproof Comcast is
rolling out new tech in select cities that it says could reduce latency by 78%
in what the Telecom giant calls an ultra lowle connectivity experience they put
experience on the end it makes it funny The Experience uses a teex standard
that's been in the works for a while called l4s which stands for low latency
low loss scalable throughput grow boss L
for us sounds like a Craigslist list you know I don't you you tell me in the
comments what it means I give you an S I'm an L I'm looking for an ass if
Comcast claims are true this might make you happier with your existing internet
which is good because the new chair of the FCC is killing his predecessor's
proposal making it easier for renters to switch internet service providers Love
the One You're With is that so hard no one commits anymore and a coder has
published a new open source tarpit tool that tackles the problem of AI training
web Crawlers hogging websites Resources by trapping those web crawlers in an
infinite randomly generated Maze of linked Pages the tool is called npen as
in the biological name for a genus of carnivorous plants the tool is just like
those except while tropical insects are scary and huge they're not known for
hitting the same servers a million times in 24 hours although whoever wrote this
has clearly never been to bots swana no bot flies though just keep your
carrasses out of my skin I just really want to reference these bot flies
