The Core Ultra 7 270K was too good, so Intel scrapped the flagship Core Ultra 9 290K Plus — benchmarks of the 290K prototype find slim 2% faster performance in gaming and applications

The Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, which never came out, was only marginally faster than the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, which explains why Intel ultimately chose not to release it. On average across 1080p and 1440p games, it's only about 2% faster, and in synthetic benchmarks and productivity workloads, it's less than 4% ahead.

Gone in 60 minutes

It should have been the final straw. The new power couple of editorial failure - Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton - had fired legendary 60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley. Why? Because he dared to question the fact that CBS had installed sycophants in its top ranks. Instead of standing in solidarity, correspondents Lesley Stahl, Bill […] Read more

Выпрямление векторных полей и коммутирование потоков: честный координатный анализ

В этой статье подробно разбираются и доказываются две классические теоремы теории динамических систем: теорема о локальном выпрямлении векторного поля и критерий комму- тирования фазовых потоков. Эти утверждения стандартны; они входят в университетские программы и содержатся во многих учебниках по обыкновенным дифференциальным уравнениям и дифференциальной геометрии. Однако на практике полное формальное доказательство критерия коммутирования встречается редко. В продвинутой литературе (например, в учебниках Read more

[Перевод] Климатологи: наихудший климатический сценарий становится менее вероятным, но и самый благоприятный ускользает

Учёные отказываются от наихудших и наилучших сценариев развития ситуации с глобальным потеплением, считая их маловероятными. Это свидетельствует о том, что скромные успехи в борьбе с изменением климата позволили снизить риск наиболее катастрофического сценария будущего потепления, но в то же время подтвердили: шансов ограничить потепление в рамках международной цели, установленной в 2015 году, уже нет.Новый список из семи вероятных сценариев загрязнения углеродом в будущем отбрасывает два основных, краевых.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is now confirmed to skip any sort of charging upgrade

Back in April, a rumor told us that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 would still only support 25W wired charging and nothing more, just like its predecessor - in fact, just like all Galaxy Z Flips since the Galaxy Z Flip4. Now, several certifications by SGS for various Flip8 models have confirmed this. The phone goes up to a maximum of 9V 2.77A, which translates into 25W. The aforementioned... Read more

BSA Lashes Out At Mandatory Open-Source Licensing

Longtime Slashdot reader Elektroschock writes: The American Business Software Alliance (BSA) does not consider mandatory open-source licensing to be an appropriate indicator of sovereignty. This is among the "pointed messages" they sent to the French government consultation (closed) today. "What protects Europe is the ability to govern, audit, and mitigate risk, not where a company files its corporate papers," said Thomas Boue of BSA. "Criteria of this kind raise costs,... Read more
