We would like to draw attention to the fact that it appears trains on the MRT Line has gone missing.
A private company was awarded a contract to repair trains but because of a 2 year delay, none of the 7 trains have been returned. Is our taxpayer money being wasted here?
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models
“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.
“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.
“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.
“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’
“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

I don’t think people realise the magnitude of the damage this cancer of a club has caused across English football.
The ripple effect runs all the way down to the Championship and every level of the English football pyramid.
They’ve robbed clubs of titles, Champions League qualification, Europa League qualification, survival, prize money, sponsorships and revenue. They’ve robbed other players of honours.
They stole other clubs’ players by offering more money, higher wages and faux sporting success. They hijacked other clubs’ potential signings for the same reasons.
Man City’s state-backed takeover is the single worst thing to ever happen to English football.
No punishment will ever be enough to make up for the damage they’ve done. Not points deductions, not transfer bans, not fines, not even relegation to the National League.
Just make that club extinct. Wipe them from history and from the face of the earth.
The most arrogant piece I’ve ever read.
Zero compliance with the authorities. They’re still trying to prove their innocence even after being found guilty. At least Chelsea pleaded guilty and even self-reported at some point.
This is exactly why City have to receive the maximum punishment.
Strip them of the titles and relegate them to the National League.

Some Umno grassroots members have criticised efforts to help Najib Razak pay the RM50 million fine under his conditional pardon, questioning why members facing financial hardship had not received similar support.
"Najib may be a good leader, but he certainly did not live a poor life when he was the prime minister. He, not to mention his wife, lived in luxury," one party leader told The Vibes.

Had a chat recently with a brilliant geopolitics guy about the Negeri Sembilan crisis. He said: “This is how the British started getting a foothold in the peninsula all those years ago.”
He’s right.
Baru baru ni saya sebut kerajaan ni pemalas, dan ada orang tegur saya.
"Design IC je, bukan buat gantung frame".
MyKad baru ni tak boleh guna pun untuk register MyDigital ID. Punya la bodo dan pemalas sistem dalam kerajaan ni.
Buat poster pakai AI, laju pulak.
First-time users of the redesigned MyKad are currently unable to complete MyDigital ID’s online registration, as the system has yet to recognise the new card.
The card has also been rejected by Touch ‘n Go eWallet, Ryt Bank, AEON Bank and GXBank, highlighting wider compatibility issues, SoyaCincau reports.

“For Mikel, the game doesn’t start in the dressing room – it starts in the team meeting a few hours before. On that day, it was the most interesting meeting of my life. I have never seen
something like that before and I don’t think I’ll ever see it again,”
Zinchenko said in his book, “Believe”.
“We had lunch in the hotel where we stay before home games. It’s always
the same waiters, the same familiar faces of the staff, whom I guess are
chosen for being very discreet. There was one guy, though, I had never seen
before, a waiter serving hot drinks. I didn’t think much about it. He must have been a new guy.
“In the final match-day meetings, we rarely sit down to watch any clips or
look at a tactics board. Mikel is doing them very differently, in his own
way. He will have us playing cards or little ball games to get those competitive juices flowing. He wants to switch us on, activate our minds. In
the first part of that meeting, he laid out lots of cards on a big table. They
had football terms like ‘man on’, ‘set piece’, ‘win your duel’ and so on
written on them. He said, ‘Okay guys, we need to start the game with
winning your duel. Who’s going to take that first card?’ You had to pick it
out before the other team at the other end of the table got there. It doesn’t
sound like much, but footballers are such a competitive lot, even a simple
game like that becomes fiercely contested.”
This is where it gets interesting.
“Then, for the second part, Mikel announced it was going to be another
‘players vs staff freestyle battle’. The other day, it had been me against
Nicolas ‘Nico’ Jover, our set-piece specialist, and I had won. So the
manager says, ‘It’s rematch today. Alex, let’s see if you can do it again.’ So
I get up and do a few tricks and so on.
Then it’s Nico’s turn. But he’s
holding his hamstring, saying he’s injured and can’t play. Mikel looks
around the room and says, ‘We need a substitute. Anyone?’ At that moment,
that waiter raises his hand. Mikel says, ‘Okay. You can try.’ And guess
what? This guy is killing it. He’s basically destroying us. He even nutmegs Saka. Everyone’s is looking at each other like, ‘What the fuck is this?’
Everyone’s cheering him on and laughing.
“Turns out he’s a professional freestyler with millions of followers whom Mikel had planted at the hotel as a waiter. You realise how much work must have gone into that behind the scenes. That guy was there for at least three hours undercover, serving up coffee and cakes and waiting patiently for his big moment. The mood in the camp was incredible after that. People were buzzing on the way to the bus. That whole thing really pushed the right buttons. But it happens so often. Every one of Mikel’s meetings is special.”
You cannot stop finding a way to win.
