A bit confused, are you ranting that the western media didn't cover enough during the wildfire season or you are pointing out the the local media only focusing on sensitive population in Malaysia ?

Ignore the obvious siew yok, the herbal tea is also steep, that's the profit margin that funded the stall operators. And since it includes Service Tax, presumably their total taxable services exceeded RM1.5mil for a calendar year.

Yet, the furniture in the stall (or restaurant) are pathetic, dirty and all plastic, look at the plates, table, chairs....

The food stall / restaurant owner is a half Nigerian half Zimbabwean origin running a successful business here, making a great life here than his previous career in remote call center pretending to be Leonardo DiCaprio, or Justin Tremblay.

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, The coming land of voyeurism and lewdism [1, 2]

Long story short, tourists found homestay operator installed spycam in the room, called police, homestay owner said tourists intended to con RM400 fees of the night, police advised tourists to remove evidence and post from social media. Tourists checked out the very next day. No action taken and investigation into the homestay owner voyeur fantasy operation.

What. The. Actual. Fuck ?

We need to know which homestay to avoid it completely. Homestay, AirBnB and the like are seemingly worse than Hotel these days.

PS: the news didn't get reported in other daily other than chinese media.

The new A17 Pro 3nm chip comes with hardware Ray Tracing, so we will expect the next gen Apple M3 series GPU performance boost. Hopefully, the gap with discrete GPU get closer.

The best analogy I could think of is same with Durians, if you like it, you like it. The tofu itself smells like sewer, similar to durian smells like turd.

Between Zahid and Moo, we don't really have a choice, do we? But if you put PAS into the picture, depends on your ideology and political spectrum, it will be obvious. Moo also strangled with corruption cases, and the amount of embezzlement also on-par with Zahid if not greater; the number of charges, however, is leading by Zahid.

Then, we have the second coming of Iskandar Kutty...

I found this on reddit which I reluctantly to cite it here [1], anyway the comments and the findings were as vague as Apple claiming they beat Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU with that fancy chart.

Regardless, all Apple current lineups, incl. Macbooks, Mac mini, Mac Studio Max come with 16-core Neural Engine, and the Ultra comes with 32-core Neural Engine.

What does it actually do despite all the marketing claims that none other than BS vague stuffs that only accessible to Apple proprietary apps, Finder, FaceTime, Final Cut Pro...

And from the schematic diagram of Apple M series SoC, the Neural Engine used significant space of the SoC.

Does Pytorch and other ML frameworks actually utilize that 16/32-core ?

Don't get me wrong. You are obviously more knowledgeable in nuclear energy that I do. I am just the average person pointing out the obvious and recall the numerous disasters [1, 2] that vividly paint the importance of having the expertise. Japan is about to release nuclear waste water into ocean [4] despite international watchdogs and environmental groups protest because Japan has no other options.

I am rather pessimistic on our country state of nuclear energy technology and readiness, even with the technology transfer from foreign enterprise, it comes down to every single engineer, technician, and operator. When we look at the current civil servant and public service, it is very unconvincing to go with this route without taking a huge risk.

Nuclear energy is great only when we have the expertise and THE expertise to maintain, operate and especially handling the nuclear waste. NYTimes runs a piece on Taiwan nuclear waste dump [1], and why Taiwan is moving away from the nuclear energy is interesting to read (especially France reneged the agreement when Taiwan signed the deal with them to reprocess the waste [2]), it is just one of the many cases where nuclear energy is not the answer for all. Where do we dump our nuclear waste if we were to setup nuclear reactors, next to Prime Minister Office, Putrajaya, maybe ?

Wait..., I have an idea, Gua Musang in Kelantan or somewhere in Pahang might be ideal since there are ample of lands to re-propose for other usages despite the state government totally ravaging and deforest them for short-term profit. It is at least benefiting the peninsular if it is for energy bill, so to speak. Definitely not sarcastic. For East Malaysia, obviously not an issue, the current and former Chief Ministers there probably not knowledgeable enough to comprehend the opportunity to setting up nuclear waste land. When they learn about this potential and opportunity to make money, they will announce big projects.

It seems that there is a flood or something ? The last thing I want is the feed is full of nonsense.
