Trump Says China Convinced the World ‘Let’s All Do Magnets’

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-04 10:45:44

Donald Trump was all over the place during two press conferences at the White House on Monday, where he rambled about his fascist vision for the country. But there were some points of levity, including when the president tried to explain how China became a leader in rare earth minerals. Or at least that’s what we think he was talking about. “China intelligently went in and they sort of took a monopoly of the world’s magnets,” Trump said. “Nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-04 20:37:50

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

Crypto prices dipped Monday following a so-called flash crash of Bitcoin on Sunday. And while Ethereum dipped as well, the second most popular cryptocurrency is still up significantly on the month.

Struggling between the comfort of an individual contributor (IC) role and the desire to move into software engineering leadership? It’s a tough fork in the road that many engineers face. The idea of stepping away from hands-on technical work to move into leadership requires mastering new skills, stepping into the spotlight, and strategic thinking.

Scientists Have Identified the Origin of an Extraordinarily Powerful Outer-Space Radio Wave

The Earth is constantly receiving space signals that contain vital information about extremely energetic phenomena.

To play, start by choosing a specific number of rules — call that number n. Your goal is to find the n-rule Turing machine that runs the longest before eventually halting. This machine is called the busy beaver, and the corresponding busy beaver number, BB(n), is the number of steps that it takes. In principle, if you want to find the busy beav
