One of the leading thinkers on how humans track time has a big, if simple, proposal for dealing with leap seconds: Don't worry about them. Do leap minutes instead, maybe one every half-century or so.
"We all need to relax a little bit," said Judah Levine, leader of the Network Synchronization Project in the Time and Frequency Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to The New York Times. Leap seconds—when coordinated, near-impeccable atomic time is halted for one second to synchronize with the Earth's comparatively erratic movements—are a big headache, especially to computer technology.
The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (IBWM) has already voted to eliminate leap seconds entirely by 2035, or at least how they are currently implemented. Levine plans to submit a paper outlining a "leap minute," timed to the next World Radiocommunications Conference held by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Starting November 20 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the world's radio and communications policymakers will debate various measures and standards. The Times suggests Levine's paper may be published after the conference, but awareness of it—including the Times story itself—should make it a point of contention.

Matic should be able to suck up that spill. [credit: Matic ]
Remember when a Roomba recorded a lady on the toilet, and images from the video ended up on Facebook? It's the type of horror story that rarely happens, yet once is enough to make you second-guess the smart home products you bring into your personal spaces forever.
That's why I was so intrigued by Thursday's announcement of Matic. It's an upcoming robot vacuum and mop that has been in development for six years by ex-Google Nest engineers Mehul Nariyawala and Navneet Dalal. It stands out from other consumer options because of the privacy it offers. The device doesn't require a connection to the Internet or cloud and performs all processing on-device.
Cloud-free cleaning
All of the mapping Matic does occurs on the device's hardware, which Dalal told TechCrunch has computing power comparable to that of an iPhone 6. Other robot vacuums can work without the cloud, but then their mapping features won't work.

Officially, Intel's Itanium chips and their IA-64 architecture died back in 2021, when the company shipped its last processors. But failed technology often dies a million little deaths. To name just a few: Itanium also died in 2013, when Intel effectively decided to stop improving it; in 2017, when the last new Itanium CPUs shipped; in 2020, when the last Itanium-compatible version of Windows Server stopped getting updates; and in 2003, when AMD introduced a 64-bit processor lineup that didn't break compatibility with existing 32-bit x86 operating systems and applications.
Itanium is dying another death in the next version of the Linux kernel. According to Phoronix, all code related to Itanium support is being removed from the kernel in the upcoming 6.7 release after several months of deliberation. Linus Torvalds removed some 65,219 lines of Itanium-supporting code in a commit earlier this week, giving the architecture a "well-earned retirement as planned."
The first Itanium processors were released in mid-2001, the result of years of collaboration between Intel and HP. The initial designs were made for servers, where their parallelized design would (theoretically) be able to speed things up by executing multiple instructions simultaneously. From there, the instruction set would eventually migrate into lower-end servers and then to consumer PCs.

Recently, Guns N’ Roses have been releasing some new songs — or, at least, songs that are new to us. A few months ago, the band followed their 2022 EP Hard Skool with “Perhaps,” another single that reportedly dates back to their Chinese Democracy sessions. When they unveiled that track, GN’R said that another unreleased joint called “The General” would serve as the B-side on a forthcoming vinyl release. “The General” still hasn’t come out, but during last night’s hometown show, the band played it live for the first time.

Other Half, the British trio that painstakingly evokes the sound of Y2K-era post-hardcore greats like Les Savy Fav, are back with a new two-song single for Bandcamp Friday. A-side “Hi, Hello” adopts a grandly dramatic posture, especially during the final section with the guy-girl vocals. B-side “Midnight Visitors” is wilder, more immediate, and over in a flash. Both songs are worth hearing, especially if you were a fan of last year’s album Soft Action. Listen below.

Kid Cudi’s got a new album called INSANO on the way, and it appears, thankfully, that his butt-ass awful Star Trek single “Heaven’s Galaxy” won’t be on the record. Instead, Cudi seems to be going all-in on blurry-eyed party-rap. Over the past few months, he’s released the singles “Porsche Topless” and “Ill What I Bleed.” Today, he’s got another one, and it’s got a couple of ultra-famous guest stars.

Ambient mastermind Claire Rousay has a new charity single out today. Rousay released new track “i no longer have that glowing thing inside of me” for Bandcamp Friday and is donating all proceeds to Anera, a group dedicated to providing food and hygiene kits to families in Gaza displaced by war. It’s a tremendous song for a worthy cause.
Review: Apple’s 16-inch M3 Max MacBook Pro crams Ultra-level speed into a laptop
in Digital/Internet News

The next year or two will be a turning point for people who bought into the last few generations of Intel Macs. AppleCare+ subscriptions will expire, batteries will begin to lose a noticeable amount of capacity, software updates and security fixes will gradually dry up, and normal wear-and-tear will slowly take its toll.
Every new generation of Apple Silicon Mac is another opportunity for Apple to get those people to update, which may or may not help to explain why Apple is introducing its new M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max MacBook Pros less than 11 months after releasing the M2 versions.
Like the early 2023 MacBook Pros, these late 2023 models are iterative improvements to the 2021 redesigns. They keep the things that made those laptops such a big improvement over the late-model Intel MacBook Pros while adding just a little more performance and one or two other minor improvements to entice people who still haven't made the Apple Silicon switch.
