Nvidia's latest Version R535 U9 driver (537.99) for professional graphics cards lists an unannounced RTX 5880 Ada Generation graphics card, as noticed by HXL. Given the fact that the model number of the product is so close to the flagship RTX 5880 Ada Generation board for professional visualization, it's reasonable to speculate that this is based on the AD102 GPU, but with reduced performance. As Nvidia can no longer ship high-performance AD102-based graphics cards to China due to the latest U.S. export rules, a logical assumption would be that the RTX 5880 Ada is a cut-down version of the RTX 6000 Ada specifically tailored for the Chinese market. However, it may not be the case as Nvidia hasn't commented on the matter, and . The R535 U9 driver with the RTX 5880 Ada is available both from Nvidia China and Nvidia Global websites. Based on the AD102 GPU with 18,176 CUDA cores and 48 GB of 384-bit GDDR6 memory, Nvidia's RTX 6000 Ada Generation graphics card is extremely powerful and its shipments to China are now restricted (though it's still listed at Nvidia's Chinese website). Meanwhile, the company's second most powerful graphics board for professional visualization market is the RTX 5000 Ada Generation board — an AD102-powered product with 12,800 CUDA cores with 32 GB of 256-bit GDDR6 memory. The gap between the range-topping RTX 6000 Ada, which sells for $6,800, and the second-best RTX 5000 Ada, which has an MSRP of $4,000, is perhaps just a bit too wide for Nvidia to leave it unfilled, so the RTX 5880 Ada Generation could be that filler not only for the Chinese market, but for the global market as well.For now, neither Nvidia's global nor the company's Chinese websites list the RTX 5880 Ada Generation graphics card. You can see the above specifications, and pay particular note to the "Total Processing Power" (TPP) and "Performance Density" (PD) rows. Those are key elements in the latest U.S. export restrictions. Any GPU with more than a 4,800 TPP score is now subject to export controls, and the RTX 6000 Ada obviously falls into that category with a TPP of 5,828. The second aspect of the restrictions, PD, doesn't come into play as these are not technically data center parts. However, it's interesting to note that if the regulations were to change and begin considering that factor — because the U.S. Department of Commerce clearly isn't done tweaking its rules — the RTX 4500 Ada and above all have a PD rating of more than 6.0. We don't have any detailed specifications for the RTX 5880 Ada yet, so for now we can only wonder whether this is a China-only device, or a product that will sit between the RTX 5000 Ada and the RTX 6000 Ada. Either way, Nvidia is preparing to release yet another AD102-based ProViz graphics board. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-lists-rtx-5880-ada-gpu-presumably-a-downgraded-replacement-for-the-rtx-6000-ada-in-china

Alas, The Game Awards has come to an end—and while there've been plenty of exciting trailers and glitzy celeb appearances, it's easy to get numb to the star factor. One returning guest, however, was far more welcome than any Hollywood name-drop: the man, the myth, the legend: Flute Guy. Arriving to the stage as part of The Game Awards orchestra, prolific musician and composer Pedro Eustache joined his contemporaries to play through the themes of this year's winners. He took to the stage with his usual aplomb, advancing through several tiers of wind instrument before reaching his final form. Here's a montage courtesy of Ratatoskr on YouTube, aptly titled "Flute Guy Goes Hard Again"—as well as some boots-on-the-ground footage by GameSpot's managing editor Tamoor Hussain.After a long ream of trailers, announcements, and criminally-short acceptance speeches, just seeing someone get up and stage and vibe is immaculate. And that's not to discredit the work of the rest of the orchestra, who are doing an absolutely stunning job. But this man's found himself, and that's resonated with the gaming public at large.In an interview with the Verge last year, Eustache touched on why he's so dang enthusiastic about his performances at the show, despite being a self-described "dinosaur" that "doesn't play video games." Three simple words: "Music is music." Eustache then went on to say that "if there's good music, I play and respond the way I did at The Game Awards." Some things are just universal.Eustache himself has a long and illustrious career. Outside of games, he's worked on Dune's Oscar-Winning score with Hans Zimmer, while his resume proudly carries the names of composers like John Williams (Star Wars) and fellow musicians such as Paul McCartney. Y'know, from The Beatles? No big deal. His return wasn't a surprise, though. At the start of the month, Eustache announced he'd be coming back to the awards in a short video, opened by a beatboxing solo that presumably exists just to get the excitement outta his body. He's backed by an armoury of instruments so numerous I didn't even notice them at first, mistaking them for a wooden screen of some kind.I figure Eustache's particular brand of moxie resonates with us largely because, as people who play, write about, or make games—we're all just kinda weird, right? Another musical highlight of the awards, in between all the glimmering trailers and celebrities, was a live performance of a song from Alan Wake 2. Which is a horror game that has a cheesy, stage-musical-style interlude segment played completely straight. Once you scrape away all the gaff we have to put up with to keep things profitable, everybody just wants to vibe like Eustache. https://www.pcgamer.com/big-name-celebs-are-fine-but-flute-guys-return-to-the-game-awards-was-the-main-event/

In the dynamic world of software development, the field of software testing has evolved rapidly, adapting to the ever-changing demands of technology and business. The advent of cloud native applications and Kubernetes has further accelerated this evolution, leading to innovative testing frameworks like Testkube. I’m going to share the top five trends I’ve observed that are shaping the future of testing in this Kubernetes-dominated landscape and demonstrate how open source Testkube empowers your testing workflow amid these trends. Trend 1: Shift-Left Testing The concept of “shift-left testing” has been gaining momentum. This approach involves integrating testing early and often in the development cycle, ensuring that testing is not just a final step but a continuous process. The goal is to identify and address issues earlier, reducing the cost and effort of fixes. Trend 2: AI in Testing AI is increasingly prevalent in the cloud native space, and its influence is extending into software testing. As AI becomes more sophisticated, its application in testing is evolving from a novel idea to a practical necessity. Companies are increasingly branding themselves with AI capabilities, reflecting a shift toward smarter, more efficient testing methodologies. Trend 3: Focus on Security Testing As digital threats become more sophisticated, there’s a heightened focus on security testing, particularly among large enterprises. This trend is about integrating security protocols right from the initial stages of development. Tools that do SAST (static application security testing) and DAST (dynamic application security testing) are becoming essentials in testing workflows. In Kubernetes environments, where security is paramount, Testkube enables teams to integrate these security testing tools directly into their pipelines, ensuring that every release is not only functional but also secure. As an example you can use the ZAP testing tool with Testkube to implement DAST testing and, because Testkube runs from inside your cluster, you don’t need to expose your applications unnecessarily. Trend 4: The Rise of TestOps and GitOps The convergence of TestOps and GitOps is becoming a significant trend in 2023, reshaping the landscape of software testing.The TestOps trend integrates testing into the continuous development cycle, echoing the collaborative and automated ethos of DevOps. TestOps focuses on enhancing communication between developers, testers, and operations, ensuring continuous testing and quicker feedback loops. It leverages real-time analytics to refine testing strategies, ultimately boosting software quality and efficiency. Extending the principles of DevOps, GitOps uses Git repositories as the backbone for managing infrastructure and application configurations, including testing frameworks. It brings consistency and traceability to the testing process, making the deployment and management of test environments more controlled and transparent. Applying GitOps to testing ensures that each change is trackable and reversible, fostering a more secure and stable testing environment. Together, TestOps and GitOps are making testing processes more efficient, aligning them with modern agile development practices and enhancing both efficiency and reliability. https://thenewstack.io/top-5-trends-in-cloud-native-software-testing-in-2023/

Intel will allegedly place $4 billion worth of orders with TSMC in 2024 to fab 3nm CPU tiles, per a report from semiconductor analyst Andrew Lu (via eeNews). 2025 will also see a large number of Intel chips produced at TSMC, with orders totaling $10 billion. Lunar Lake is allegedly Intel's first processor to have its CPU cores fabbed at an external foundry, and Lu believes Intel will become increasingly dependent on TSMC in the future. TSMC's 3nm node is the company's latest, and right now, it's primarily known for being the process that powers Apple's latest M3 and A17 processors. However, the analyst claims Intel will become TSMC's second-largest 3nm customer, displacing AMD, while Apple remains the largest. By the end of 2024, the analyst claims Intel will have 15,000 3nm wafers per month coming in from TSMC, and that figure will increase to 30,000 in 2025.Those figures might seem strange considering the order values: 15,000 wafers per month in 2024 is worth $14 billion, while double the wafers would only be worth $10 billion in 2025. Assuming the figures are indeed accurate, it could be down to declining prices for 3nm wafers over time. Nodes tend to get cheaper over time due to higher yields stemming from process maturity, so Intel's ability to order more for less might not be contradictory. Lu claims that there's no going back for Intel and that the company will rely heavily on TSMC's foundries in the future. There are apparently many financial and economic benefits for Intel to work with TSMC, but perhaps the most obvious advantage is increased production capacity. Intel's production capabilities are massive but perhaps not massive enough to support the company's CPUs, GPUs, and third-party manufacturing. That's why Intel has outsourced lower-value portions of its production to external foundries for years. Intel's increased reliance on TSMC isn't new, though. Arc Alchemist GPUs are fabbed at TSMC, Ponte Vecchio uses TSMC-made chips, and Meteor Lake employs TSMC's 5nm and 6nm nodes for three of its four tiles. It's also rumored that upcoming Battlemage and Celestial GPUs will be fabbed at TSMC, and upcoming tile CPUs will presumably continue using at least some TSMC-fabbed tiles. Intel has outsourced part of its production to external foundries for decades, and the benefits outweigh the negatives. Additionally, the company is in a better technological position than when it struggled to get 10nm chips out the door. If Intel had allowed itself to produce its CPUs at TSMC back then, then perhaps it wouldn't have lost as much market share to AMD as it has in recent years.Matthew Connatser is a freelancing writer for Tom's Hardware US.

You know those dystopian notions of seas boiling over thanks to climate change? Well, China has a neat idea to accelerate a process which is already giving us the warmest sea surface temps on record. Heating up the oceans directly with computers. OK, that's rather facetious; there have been numerous studies into such an endeavour, with Microsoft running a similar setup for two years near the Orkney Islands just off Scotland with some ecological success. But China has reportedly begun construction on what's claimed to be the world's first undersea data center. Allegedly, once complete the facility will have the computing power of "six million conventional personal computers." It's unclear exactly what that means or what the hardware involved comprises. But it will be made of of no fewer than 100 of the huge looking "nodes" pictured above, each of which weighs an incredible 1,300 tons. However, you slice it, then, it's a lot of kit being submerged 35m under water off the coast of Sanya, Hainan province, China.Central to the entire premise is using sea water as the primary coolant. It's said that this will save a hefty 122 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually on cooling compared with a conventional on-land data center.It would be interesting to know how the net warming footprint compares between this approach and electrically powered air-cooling solutions of existing data centers. The thermal impact of a single server farm would just be a drop in the ocean, if you'll pardon the pun. Though if there were thousands of such nodes that might be a different matter.This isn't the first time we've heard of computer servers being dumped in the sea for cooling purposes. But this Chinese installation does seem to be on a rather unprecedented and epic scale. Exactly how practical all this is, well, that's an open question. Swapping out dead CPUs, SSDs or whole servers would, we assume, be off the cards with this kind of installation. In the Microsoft experiment which finished in 2020 it sealed the undersea chamber, filling it with dry nitrogen which made for a far less corrosive atmosphere than an oxygen-rich one, improving reliability over a land-based equivalent. There's no indication here that the new server farm is doing the same thing, but the nodes or modules are apparently each designed to run for 25 years and perhaps the very long term idea is they can be individually recovered and serviced. Anyway, the full 100 nodes are slated to have been installed by 2025, so if you pop out for a dip around then and find it's a little warmer than you expected, well, you'll know why. https://www.pcgamer.com/china-redefines-cpu-water-cooling-with-an-huge-130000-ton-data-center-under-the-sea/

Minister of State for the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and United Nations, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, visited Morocco from 8 to 9 May 2023. He attended the fourth UK-Morocco bilateral Strategic Dialogue, following and complementing the UK-Morocco Association Council held in Rabat on 16 February. During his visit, Lord Ahmad visited and prayed at the iconic Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, as well as meeting British business representatives based there. On 9 May, Lord Ahmad co-chaired the ministerial session of the annual UK-Morocco Strategic Dialogue with host, Morocco’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Mr Nasser Bourita. As reflected in their Joint Declaration, the ministers reviewed the deepening collaboration between the UK and Morocco and identified priorities for the next year, under the 4 pillars of cooperation: political, economic, security and defence, and education and culture. This collaboration includes growing bilateral cooperation in the health and agricultural sectors, as well as on climate, energy and sustainable finance. The Ministers signed a ‘Strategic Cooperation Framework on Climate action, Clean energy and Green growth’. It also includes: *ongoing exchanges of expertise, such as the joint defence exercises, ‘Jebel Sahara’ and ‘African Lion’, both held in 2022 * collaboration between law enforcement agencies on border security, hostage negotiations, and counter-terrorism efforts The ministers also discussed regional and international issues of common interest. These included the situation in Sudan and in Libya, developments in Israel and the OPTs, the ongoing global implications of the Russia-Ukraine war, and food security in Africa. On completing his visit, Lord Ahmad said: This has been a fruitful visit which has built upon the strong relationship between our 2 countries. It follows on from our collaboration as Guest of Honour at the 15th edition of SIAM last week in Meknes, and we were honoured to have hosted HRH Princess Lalla Meryem at the Coronation of HM King Charles III last week. I am confident that this relationship will continue to thrive, going forward, as our 2 Kingdoms work in partnership on political, economic and security matters, and connect our people and cultures. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-and-morocco-partnership-thriving

India added 664 animal species to its faunal database in the year 2022. These comprise 467 new species and 197 new records [species found in India for the first time]. The country also added 339 new plant taxa – 186 taxa that are new to science and 153 taxa as new distributional records from the country in 2022. The details of new discoveries and new records were released by Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav in Kolkata on July 1.The faunal discoveries have been compiled in a publication by Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) titled Animal Discoveries - New Species and New Records 2023, whereas floral discoveries are contained in Plant Discoveries 2022 published by the Botanical Survey of India (BSI).Among the major fauna species discovered are three new species and one new record of mammals; two new records of birds; 30 new species and two new records of reptiles; six new species and one new record of amphibia; and 28 new species and eight new records of fish. The mammal species discovered include two species of bats – Miniopterus phillipsi, a long-fingered bat, and Glischropus meghalayanus, a bamboo-dwelling bat – both from Meghalaya. Sela macaque (Macaca selai), a new macaque species discovered in the western and central Arunachal Pradesh and named after the Sela Pass, is also among the highlights of Animal Discoveries 2022.The new records include Macaca leucogenys, a white-cheeked macaque earlier found in Modog, southeastern Tibet, and sighted in India for the first time in 2022 in West Siang, Arunachal Pradesh. The list also includes Ficedula zanthopygia, the yellow-rumped flycatcher, earlier known from Mongolia, Transbaikal, southern China, Korea, western Japan, and found last year in Narcondam Island of the Andaman archipelago. The maximum number of new faunal discoveries has been of invertebrates with 583 species, while vertebrates constitute 81 species. Insects dominate among invertebrates with 384 species, whereas fish dominated among vertebrates, followed by reptiles, amphibia, mammals and aves.In 2022, the maximum new discoveries were recorded from Kerala. As many as 82 animal species new to science and 15 new records were from Kerala, which contributes to 14.6% of the new species and new records. Karnataka followed with 64 new species and 24 new records accounting for 13.2%. Tamil Nadu saw 71 new discoveries and 13 new records contributing to 12.6% of all the new discoveries and new records in the country. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands contributed to about 8.4% of the discoveries, whereas 7.6 % discoveries were from West Bengal and 5.7% from Arunachal Pradesh. With the new discoveries and new records, the fauna diversity of the country increased to 1,03,922. Speaking at the launch of these publications, Mr. Yadav said that work done by the ZSI is critical to the faunal diversity of the country. “We must protect the diversity for our own sake,” he said. ZSI Director Dhriti Banerjee said the year 2022 witnessed the highest number of new discoveries in the last 10 years. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/india-adds-664-animal-species-to-its-faunal-database-in-2022-339-taxa-to-its-flora/article67030167.ece

King Mohammed VI has named Samira Sitail as ambassador to France, filling a post that has laid empty for months amid a diplomatic crisis between Rabat and Paris. The announcement of Samira Sitail’s nomination on Thursday came as something of a surprise since she has no background in diplomacy. The 59-year old was head of news then deputy director general at Moroccan public broadcasting channel 2M. She takes over from Mohamed Benchaaboum whose duties were terminated on 19 January without a successor being named. While Sitail’s CV is very different from career diplomats, her high-level experience in the media could serve her well in her new diplomatic role. “It’s an unusual nomination, but which most probably corresponds to a certain logic, because Morocco wants to make its voice in France more audible,” journalist and political scientist Abdellah Tourabi told Le Monde daily. “She knows the media, knows how to talk to them and has a network in the press and culture that goes beyond the purely political sphere.” Outspoken Sitail was born in France and holds dual nationality, but is not well known here. However she gained a certain notoriety for her comments following the 8 September earthquake in the region of Marrakech, which killed close to 3,000 people. Macron urges Morocco to accept French aid as death toll nears 3,000 Interviewed by BFM television she slammed the suggestion by some French media that Morocco had rejected France's offer of help in favour of the UK and Spain. “It’s very serious to say that Morocco refuses a country’s help, it’s even a call for Moroccan people to revolt" against their government and the monarchy, she said, underlying the kingdom's sovereignty. Tense relations Sitail takes over at a time when relations between Rabat and Paris are at a low point. They've been under strain since Macron tried to get closer to Algeria, which broke off diplomatic relations with Morocco in 2021, citing "hostile acts". Morocco has criticised France for not following the US and Israel in recognising its sovereignty over the Western Sahara. Morocco's king thanks Israeli PM for backing claim on Western Sahara Relations have also been soured through the 2020 Pegasus spywhere investigation which claimed that Morocco's intelligence services had used Israeli cellphone software to spy on several French public figures, possibly including Macron. Last year France slashed the number of visas granted to Moroccans by half and local media have reported that despite the resumption of consular services, people were still experiencing delays in appointments and visa applications were rejected without justification. France slashes visas for Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco in row over illegal migration In the latest spat, the European Parliament adopted a resolution in January calling on the Moroccan authorities to “respect freedom of expression” having accused the kingdom of intimidating and harassing journalists and activists. Morocco’s political class, and some media, perceived French MEPs close to President Emmanuel Macron as having helped orchestrate the resolution. Sitail now has the hefty task of trying to rebuild confidence between Rabat and Paris, but at least she knows both countries well. https://www.rfi.fr/en/africa/20231020-morocco-names-samira-sitail-woman-former-journalist-as-ambassador-to-france
