HostColor Expands Its AMD Dedicated Server Offerings in LA and New York
HostColor.com (HC) has announced the immediate availability of bare metal servers powered by AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC processors in several new data center locations.
HostColor.com (HC), a globally recognized provider of cloud infrastructure and managed services, has announced the availability of custom-built, high-bandwidth, high-performance AMD dedicated server platforms in several new data center locations. HostColor's new primary New York City service location for delivering AMD CPU-powered servers is the DataBank data center, located at 111 Eighth Avenue in Downtown Manhattan in a telecommunications building owned by Google. Other new data center locations for delivering AMD CPU-powered bare metal servers include Equinix LA3 and CoreSite LA2 in Los Angeles.
The available AMD Ryzen processors at HostColor's new Manhattan, NYC service location are the Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 9950X, and Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7965WX.
The available server platforms with AMD EPYC CPUs feature: AMD EPYC 7C13, AMD EPYC 7443P, AMD EPYC 7662, AMD EPYC 9274F, AMD EPYC 9275F, AMD EPYC 9374F, AMD EPYC 9474F, AMD EPYC 9654 and AMD EPYC 9754.
Customers can customize their server configurations with IPv4 and IPv6 address space. They can also choose a network service with metered data transfer measured in terabytes (TB) transferred per month or unmetered bandwidth ports with allocations ranging from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps. 'Unmetered bandwidth' means that the hosting infrastructure provider does not measure or limit the bandwidth used by the server. For example, at most of its Edge data centers, HostColor allows customers to use the full capacity of their dedicated servers' physical internet bandwidth port.
HostColor's AMD server customers benefit from unlimited data transfer up to the physical capacity of the internet connection ports. Unlike large hyperscale clouds, HostColor (HC) provides both Bare Metal Servers and dedicated cloud infrastructure with unmetered bandwidth ports and unlimited data transfer quotas, with no charges for inbound or outbound Internet traffic.
Compared to the infrastructure offered by the major hyperscale clouds, HC's Dedicated Cloud Hosting and bare metal offerings save a tremendous amount of financial resources. HostColor does not charge its customers for internet traffic, IOPS, DNS lookups, DNS zones, internet traffic zones, or infrastructure technical support.
All of HostColor's AMD-based server configurations provide customers with enterprise cloud computing and virtualization options, and they are compatible with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other major cloud providers.
HC's AMD processor-based servers can handle large data sets and are ideal for AI-driven applications, software automation platforms, and large, complex database management systems that require data processing. They are also well-suited for various HPC workloads.
Free Infrastructure Technical Support
HostColor does not charge for access to technical support for the core functionality of its dedicated cloud hosting infrastructure. The company provides dedicated cloud servers with 'Free Infrastructure Technical Support' per Service Level Agreement (SLA). This support covers core service functionality related to network interfaces and the physical components of bare metal servers, such as CPUs, RAM, and storage drives. FITS also includes consultation on various infrastructure service use case scenarios. However, FITS does not cover maintenance and support for operating systems (OSs), custom configurations, or installed software applications. These are covered by the next level of SLA-defined technical support, Semi-Managed Dedicated Servers. This technical support agreement is based on the company's Edge Server hosting infrastructure platform.
Semi-Managed Dedicated Servers
In addition to FITS, all of HostColor's dedicated server hosting services are 'Semi-Managed' by the SLA. The provider is responsible for installing and configuring server instances according to the customer's custom configurations for Linux infrastructure environments. Additionally, HC Support reinstalls the server operating system (OS) upon request, configures and manages network settings, creates and maintains custom virtual private networks, and assists customers with troubleshooting any server-side issues related to the OS, network, or software configuration.

New tax break for auto loans could save some buyers thousands of dollars. But will it boost sales?
Millions of people receive a federal tax deduction for the interest they pay on home loans. Under President Donald Trump's new tax-cut law, many people for the first time also could claim a tax deduction for interest on their vehicle loans. The new tax break will be available even to people who don't itemize deductions. But there are some caveats that could limit its reach. The vehicles must be new, not used. They must be assembled in the U.S. And the loans must be issued no sooner than this year, to list just a few qualifications. Here are some things to know about the new auto loan interest tax deduction: Candidate Trump promised an auto loan interest tax break Trump pledged while campaigning last year to make interest on car loans tax-deductible. He said it would make car ownership more affordable and 'stimulate massive domestic auto production.' The idea made it into the big tax-cut bill passed by Congress, which Trump signed into law July 4. The law allows taxpayers to deduct up to $10,000 of interest payments annually on loans for new American-made vehicles from 2025 through 2028. It applies to cars, motorcycles, sport utility vehicles, minivans, vans and pickup trucks weighing less than 14,000 pounds, a threshold referred to as light vehicles. But it only applies to vehicles purchased for personal use, not for fleets or commercial purposes. The tax break can be claimed starting on 2025 income tax returns. But the deduction phases out for individuals with incomes between $100,000 and $150,000 or joint taxpayers with incomes between $200,000 and $250,000. Those earning more cannot claim the tax break. Millions of buyers could benefit, but millions of others will not U.S. automobile dealers sold 15.9 million new light vehicles last year, a little over half of which were assembled in the U.S, according to Cox Automotive. It says around 60% of retail sales are financed with loans. After excluding fleet and commercial vehicles and customers above the income cutoff, an estimated 3.5 million new vehicle loans could be eligible for the tax break this year, if purchasing patterns stay the same, said Jonathan Smoke, chief economist at Cox Automotive. It's the assembly plant, not the automaker's headquarters that matters The tax break applies to vehicles assembled in the U.S., no matter where the company making them is headquartered. All Tesla vehicles sold in the U.S. are assembled in this country. But so are all Acura brands, the luxury model of Japanese automaker Honda. Last year, 78% of Ford vehicles sold in the U.S. were assembled in this country, according to Cox Automotive. But customers wanting the tax break will need to pay attention to specific models. While the Ford Mustang is assembled in Michigan, the Mustang Mach-E is built in Mexico. General Motors assembles all of its Cadillacs in the U.S. But just 44% of its Chevrolets sold last year were assembled in the U.S., and just 14% of Buicks, according to Cox Automotive. That's a lower U.S-assembled rate than Honda (60%), Toyota (52%) and Nissan (48%), which all are headquartered in Japan. Taxpayers could save hundreds of dollars a year The average new vehicle loan is about $44,000 financed over six years. Interest rates vary by customer, so the savings will, too. In general, the tax deduction will decline after the initial year, because interest payments on loans are frontloaded while principal payments grow on the back end. At a 9.3% interest rate, an average new vehicle buyer could save about $2,200 on taxes over four years, Smoke said. The tax savings would be less on a loan at 6.5%, which is the rate figured into calculations by the American Financial Services Association, a consumer credit industry trade group. Some people also could see a reduction in state income taxes Whereas the tax deduction for home loan interest can be claimed only by people itemizing on their tax returns, Congress wrote the deduction for auto loan interest so that it can apply to all taxpayers, including those claiming the standard deduction. On a tax form, the auto loan deduction will come before the calculation of a taxpayer's adjusted gross income. That's an important distinction, because many states use a taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income as the starting point for figuring their state income taxes. If that income figure is lower, it could reduce the state taxes owed. The verdict is out on whether the tax break will boost sales At Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent, Washington, customers started asking about the auto loan tax deduction before Congress had even taken a final vote on the tax-cut bill, said General Manager Paul Ray. So he decided to promote it on the dealer's website. A website ribbon exclaims: 'CAR LOAN TAX DEDUCTION NOW AVAILABLE" while also promoting an electric vehicle tax credit that is ending soon as a result of Trump's tax-cut law. 'I think it's going to help incentivize vehicle purchases through this year," Ray said. Celia Winslow, president and CEO of the American Financial Services Association, concurred: 'For some people deciding — should I buy it, should I not — this could be something that tips the scale.' Others remain skeptical. According to Smoke's math, the average annual tax savings is smaller than a single month's loan payment for a new vehicle. 'I don't think it moves the needle on somebody on the fence of buying a new vehicle or not," Smoke said. "But I think it could influence their decision to finance that vehicle instead of paying cash or instead of leasing a vehicle.'

AI coding tools made some experienced software engineers less productive in a recent study
AI coding assistants decreased experienced software developers' productivity by 19%, a new METR study suggests. The study found developers were overconfident in the AI tools, expecting a 20% productivity boost even after using them. Critics caution that AI code editors have advanced since the February study period and that the results are site-specific. AI code editors have quickly become a mainstay of software development, employed by tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. In an interesting twist, a new study suggests AI tools made some developers less productive. Experienced developers using AI coding tools took 19% longer to complete issues than those not using generative AI assistance, according to a new study from Model Evaluation & Threat Research (METR). Even after completing the tasks, participants couldn't accurately gauge their own productivity, the study said: The average AI-assisted developers still thought their productivity had gained by 20%. METR's study recruited 16 developers with large, open-source repositories that they had worked on for years. The developers were randomly assigned into two groups: Those allowed to use AI coding assistance and those who weren't. The AI-assisted coders could choose which vibe-coding tool they used. Most chose Cursor with Claude 3.5/3.7 Sonnet. Business Insider reached out to Cursor for comment. Developers without AI spent over 10% more time actively coding, the study said. The AI-assisted coders spent over 20% more time reviewing AI outputs, prompting AI, waiting on AI, or being idle. METR researcher Nate Rush told BI he uses an AI code editor every day. While he didn't make a formal prediction about the study's results, Rush said he jotted down positive productivity figures he expected the study to reach. He remains surprised by the negative end result — and cautions against taking it out of context. "Much of what we see is the specificity of our setting," Rush said, explaining that developers without the participants' 5-10 years of expertise would likely see different results. "But the fact that we found any slowdown at all was really surprising." Steve Newman, serial entrepreneur and cofounder of Google Docs, described the findings in a Substack post as "too bad to be true," but after more careful analysis of the study and its methodology, he found the study credible. "This study doesn't expose AI coding tools as a fraud, but it does remind us that they have important limitations (for now, at least)," Newman wrote. The METR researchers said they found evidence for multiple contributors to the productivity slowdown. Over-optimism was one likely factor: Before completing the tasks, developers predicted AI would decrease implementation time by 24%. For skilled developers, it may still be quicker to do what you know well. The METR study found that AI-assisted participants slowed down on the issues they were more familiar with. They also reported that their level of experience made it more difficult for AI to help them. AI also may not be reliable enough yet to produce clean and accurate code. AI-assisted developers in the study accepted less than 44% of the generated code, and spent 9% of their time cleaning AI outputs. Ruben Bloom, one of the study's developers, posted a reaction thread on X. Coding assistants have developed considerably since he participated in February. "I think if the result is valid at this point in time, that's one thing, I think if people are citing in another 3 months' time, they'll be making a mistake," Bloom wrote. METR's Rush acknowledges that the 19% slowdown is a "point-in-time measurement" and that he'd like to study the figure over time. Rush stands by the study's takeaway that AI productivity gains may be more individualized than expected. "A number of developers told me this really interesting anecdote, which is, 'Knowing this information, I feel this desire to use AI more judiciously,'" Rush said. "On an individual level, these developers know their actual productivity impact. They can make more informed decisions." Read the original article on Business Insider
