Ima ovde zanimljivog materijala o Intel-ovim novim procesorima i oko njih...
moglo bi da se iskoristi za nešto za sajt, možda i za broj.

300 Nvidia GPUs Smuggled in Mission Impossible-Style Raid | Digital Trends

The GPU market has
<https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/gpu-shortage-q3-2020-double-triple-
price/> been in a tailspin over the last several months, and now, the
coveted cards are showing up in the hands of Chinese smugglers.
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0grAY6kgexY> TVP News reports that the Hong
Kong Customs and Excise Department intercepted a fishing boat outside of
Hong Kong International Airport, busting a smuggling ring that was
transporting up to 300 Nvidia CMP 30HX graphics cards.
In a scene ripped straight from Mission Impossible, Hong Kong authorities
chased the group of smugglers in a speed boat in the early hours of the
morning. Although the smugglers got away, the owner of the boat loaded with
goods did not. Among typical fodder for smugglers, including exotic foods,
skincare products, and smartphones, the Hong Kong authorities seized 300
unmarked graphics cards in the 2 a.m. raid.
The cards appear to be Nvidia's Cryptocurrency Mining Processor (CMP), or
more specifically, the CMP 30HX. The 30HX is the lowest of the range, with
an advertised Ethereum hash rate of 26 MH/s. Although the CMP 30HX isn't
available in the U.S., it has
<https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-cmp-30hx-mining-gpu-market-723-dol
lars> been spotted for $723 at a retailer in Dubai. That's $219,600 worth of
graphics cards.
For some context, a GTX 980 and a GTX 1660 both have a higher Ethereum hash
rate. These cards shouldn't be more than $200, but both are commonly selling
above the $500 mark on secondhand markets.
It's clear that gamers and enthusiasts weren't the target of the smuggling
operation. Without any video outputs, the CMP 30HX is good for
cryptocurrency mining and nothing else. Perhaps the mining market is larger
than most expect, or maybe consumer GPUs just aren't available to smuggle.
Regardless, one thing remains clear: GPU demand is at an all-time high.
The smugglers were clued into other shifts in the world of tech, too. Along
with a tear-jerking number of graphics cards, Hong Kong officials seized
several kits of system RAM, likely in preparation for
<https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/ram-memory-price-increase-semicondu
ctor-shortage/> DRAM price increases coming down the pike.
The owner of the ship was detained by authorities, but the other smugglers
made off to mainland China. As for the cards, they'll likely live in a cold
evidence room, much to the dismay of anyone looking for a little GPU
horsepower.

Supreme Court rules in Google’s favor in copyright dispute with Oracle over Android software
Tucker Higgins
The Supreme Court on Monday sided with Google against Oracle in a long-running copyright dispute over the software used in Android, the mobile operating system.
The court’s decision was 6-2. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was not yet confirmed by the Senate when the case was argued in October, did not participate in the case.
The case concerned about 12,000 lines of code that Google used to build Android that were copied from the Java application programming interface developed by Sun Microsystems, which Oracle acquired in 2010. It was seen as a landmark dispute over what types of computer code are protected under American copyright law.
Oracle had claimed at points to be owed as much as $9 billion, while Google claimed that its use of the code was covered under the doctrine of fair use and therefore not subject to copyright liability. Android is the most popular mobile operating system in the world.
Oracle sued Google over the use of its code and won its case twice before the specialized U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which held that the code in question was copyrightable and that Google’s use of it not protected by fair use.
The Supreme Court reversed the appeals court’s decision, though it did not definitively resolve whether the code in question was copyrightable.

Justice Stephen Breyer, who wrote the majority opinion in the case, agreed that Google’s use of the code was protected under fair use, noting that Google took “only what was needed to allow users to put their accrued talents to work in a new and transformative program.”
“To the extent that Google used parts of the Sun Java API to create a new platform that could be readily used by programmers, its use was consistent with that creative ‘progress’ that is the basic constitutional objective of copyright itself,” Breyer added.
Breyer said that the top court assumed “for argument’s sake” that the code was copyrightable in the first place, but declined to issue a ruling on that question, saying that the holding on fair use was enough to decide the case.
“Given the rapidly changing technological, economic, and business-related circumstances, we believe we should not answer more than is necessary to resolve the parties’ dispute,” Breyer wrote.
Breyer was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
The case, one of the most significant of the term, featured a high-profile battle over competing visions of the future of software development.
“The long settled practice of reusing software interfaces is critical to modern software development,” Google’s attorney, the veteran Supreme Court lawyer Tom Goldstein, told the justices during arguments.
The case was originally scheduled to be heard last term before it was delayed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Upravo je to juče tweet-ovao U.S. Strategic Command. I odmah je počelo, neko
šifrovano naređenje, kod za lansiranje nuklearnih projektila... Tweet je
brzo obrisan.
Ispostavilo se da je oficir koji administrira twitter strateške komande
radio od kuće, za trenutak izašao iz sobe, njegovo malo dete došlo do
tastature i lupalo po njoj :)) I uspelo da pošalje tweet :))
