/c/café daily chat thread for 22 September 2023
  • 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.

    And if combines with low rainfalls, it is not looking good.

    (吉隆坡18日讯/独家报导)博特拉大学道路安全研究中心主任刘德华博士认为,在雪州莎阿南坠机事件中,飞机师尝试在牙直利大道着陆是明智的决定,因为大道可用作临时降落区,且该大道交通较不繁忙,已减少人命伤亡。不幸的是,仍有一名轿车司机和摩哆骑士遭殃。他说,在紧急情况下,飞机可以在附近的大道着陆,以减少飞机坠毁造成的严重后果。刘德华告诉《中国报》,在高密度地区附近建造机场是不明智的,但梳邦机场在城市高度发展之前就已建造。刘德华博士说,在紧急情况下,飞机可以在附近的大道着陆...

    The vague Apple Neural Engine, what does it do with the premium we paid for ?

    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 ?
