I’d be surprised, given how outspoken Sawe is about doping. He invited the AIU to test him before Berlin and Adidas also paid.

> Determined to prove he is competing clean, Adidas provided $50,000 (£36,900) to the Athletics Integrity Unit, the sport's anti-doping body, to frequently test Sawe over a 12-month period.

> That began with a reported 25 out-of-competition tests in the lead-up to Berlin in September, continuing at a similar rate as he prepared for London.

> Sawe said on Monday: "It's very important to me because it gets out the doubt in my career of athletics and yesterday's performance.

> "It shows Sabastian Sawe is clean. It shows running clean is good, and we can run clean and we can run faster.


Armstrong never failed a blood test and he was tested without being warned before hundreds of times a year.

This proves nothing, absolutely nothing at all. It's just a PR move by adidas and actually it seems to be working on you.


I find con men are the first to protest their innocence, and even suggest well-curated "proofs" of the same.

It's not evidence either way, in the arms-race of high-tech doping.


Knowledge Fight podcast already took the “synonym name” route. https://knowledgefight.com/

> > The performance/intelligence is said to be about the same as the geometric mean of the total and active parameter counts. So, this model should be equivalent to a dense model with about 10.25 billion parameters.

> Sorry, how did you calculate the 10.25B?

The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product. Square root of 105 (35*3) is ~10.25.


In Firebase world API keys are for identification, not authorisation.

Godalming, UK (where I live) stakes a claim for having the world's first public electricity supply in 1881. I walk past the commemorative plaque on almost a daily basis. https://www.godalmingmuseum.co.uk/articles/electricity


This seems like the earliest electric grid so far.


That link clearly says you don't have to use an app.

If you are unable to use the app, you can apply online through ImmiAccount for another visa that suits your needs.

This triggered me because I've been to Australia tens of times (albeit not since 2023) and have always used my Immi account. I just logged in to check and sure enough I can still lodge an application there, no app required. Ironically I would prefer an app and will use it for my next visits because I've always found the Immi site cumbersome. But the site is still there.


For a different visa, not the ETA.


Ah. I’ve always used the subclass 651 eVisitor, without realising it was only for some European countries (or that it was different to the ETA).


There is legislation in the EU, and BirdyChat announced compatibility.

https://www.birdy.chat/blog/first-to-interoperate-with-whats...


BirdyChat, the existence of which we all first became aware at the same time as that legislation and which nobody can use yet, only join a waitlist... :-)


And apparently requires explicit WhatsApp user opt-in to be available. Meta is of course going to maliciously comply as best they can, so they've made sure interoperability is off by default and requires a specific opt in.


The BBC have been covering it in the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cjnwl8q4ggwt


True, but the level of coverage from the BBC has been abysmal compared to other similar conflicts in the past years, Ukraine and Gaza obviously come to mind.


People have been protesting in the UK.

Silent protestors gather in solidarity with Iran: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy4g1me23x7o


I've been to the protest in Berlin, it's mostly Iranian diaspora there with all my "used-to-be-friends" that turned with Gaza stuff silent as ever.


> What data centers? Does Apple even have data centers?

Apple absolutely has data centres. Where do you think Apple TV, Apple Music, iCloud, Maps, etc compute happens?

Here's a press release straight from the horse's mouth about one in Denmark, in late 2020: https://www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/2020/09/apple-expands-rene...

> Can people purchase compute on Apple's data centers?

Not to my knowledge, but that's not saying much.


> Not to my knowledge, but that's not saying much.

But that's the entire crux of their comment: undercut the competition, and make them pay for compute on Apple's data centers.
