ЗаключениеСколько нужно времени, чтобы снять показания времени?

Что же такое выделывает Ubuntu, если ей на это требуется на 30% больше процессорного времени?

Не пытаясь делать вызовы «до» и «после», чтобы измерить длительность времени (хотя, такой подход должен сработать, если учесть при анализе те излишки времени, которые тратятся на сами замеряющие вызовы), автор решил просто сделать цикл, в котором миллионы раз вызывается показатель времени и проверить, сколько времени на это уходит (сорри, тавтология тут неизбежна):Этот код 100 миллионов раз вызывает currentTimeMillis().

Предполагая, что именно на вызовы времени уходит львиная доля цикла, имеем около 0,13 μs на Centos и 0,68 μs на Ubunt…

Из статьи вы узнаете:Что такое NiFi & Kafka и зачем она нужна;Какие есть популярные аналоги, и почему мы выбрали именно этот стэк.

В этой части статьи мы рассмотрим Kafka и её аналоги, а на следующей неделе подробнее остановимся на NiFi.

В принципе Kafka не на это рассчитана.

Поэтому необходимо чётко понимать, с точки зрения бизнес-логики какая доставка для вас приемлема и с какими минусами вы можете столкнуться.

Это хорошо, и это же плохо, потому что Kafka очень глубокий инструмент и его нужно долго изучать, чтобы понимать, как правильно его докрутить.

Компания adidas представила новую модель беспроводных полноразмерных наушников RPT-02 SOL, которые не нужно заряжать.

То есть наушники не заряжаются только в полной темноте.

Внутри 45-мм динамические драйверы с диапазоном воспроизводимых частот от 20 Гц до 20 кГц, подключение по Bluetooth 5.2.

Пластиковые элементы корпуса частично выполнены из переработанных материалов, а амбушюры и оголовье можно снять и постирать.

Новинка доступна для покупки в единственном чёрном цвете на сайте adidas за 230 долларов в США и 230 евро в Европе.

Компания Apple потребовала скрыть контент государственных СМИ в приложении Rutube или ограничить доступ к сервису для всех пользователей, кроме россиян.

Если Rutube в течение двух недель не исполнит требования Apple, приложение исчезнет из магазина App Store.

Однако Apple может не согласиться с распространением приложения в Беларуси и Казахстане.

Фактически это невыполнение изначальных требований, так что в компании это могут воспринять как нарушение и удалить приложение из App Store.

Возможно, приложение останется в App Store, как и останется доступным для Казахстана и Республики Беларусь.

Компания Google выпустила финальную версию Android 13 для смартфонов Pixel.

Android 13 доступен для Google Pixel 4 и новее, а позже в этом году появится поддержка смартфонов Samsung, ASUS, HMD Global, Motorola, OnePlus и других производителей.

Что нового в Android 13Теперь тематические значки, которые подстраиваются под обои и интерфейс системы, доступны для сторонних приложений.

Как и в iOS, доступ ко всем фото и видео для конкретных приложений можно ограничить, открыв только некоторые медиафайлы.

Версия Android 13 для планшетов получила новую панель задач с запущенными приложениями, которые можно быстро перетащить для разделения экрана.

Вот, например, гипнотизирующие кадры вуппертальской подвесной дороги, снятые в 1902 году и отреставрированные Денисом Ширяевым два года назад:Пусть это и не самый распространённый тип железных дорог из-за своей конструкции, но о нём не забывают.

И вот в Китае в городском округе Ганьчжоу построили экспериментальную 800-метровую линию такой дороги, которая получила название Xingguo.

Маглев — это поезд, левитирующий над магнитной подушкой.

Собственно название это и состоит из слов «магнит» и «левитация».

То есть поезд не опускается на рельс, когда электроэнергия отключается от магнита, а значит, такой вариант ещё и экономичен с точки зрения потребления электроэнергии.

Новости Утечка: дизайн нового iPad 10-го поколенияСогласно более ранним слухам, мы увидим базовый планшет в дизайне последних iPad mini и iPad Air.

То есть он получит одинаковые рамки со всех сторон дисплея, а также Touch ID, заключённый в кнопку питания.

Базовый iPad 10 будет работать на системе-на-чипе Apple A14, то есть станет своего рода упрощённой версией iPad Air четвёртого поколения.

Новости СМИ: базовый iPad десятого поколения получит Apple A14, USB-C и 5GГлавное отличие от iPad Air — чуть меньший экран: 10,5 дюйма против 10,9.

То есть релизную версию операционной системы для планшетов покажут вместе с macOS Ventura.

Согласно появившемуся патенту, Apple разрабатывает корпуса для iPhone и Apple Watch из керамики.

Циркониевое покрытие может быть использовано для задней крышки iPhone: оно лёгкое и защитит от царапин и сколов при падении.

Цирконий — дорогой материал, так что Apple может использовать стальные сплавы с добавлением этого материала, чтобы повысить прочность, но при этом не повышать стоимость.

Вероятно, более крепкие корпуса получат только Pro-версии, поскольку производство может быть сложным и не таким быстрым.

Возможно, Apple придумает что-то интереснее, легче, прочнее и дешевле.

Компания Apple выпустила шестую бета-версию iOS 16.

Её могут установить как авторизованные разработчики, так и пользователи, участвующие в программе публичного тестирования.

До первой осенней презентации остаётся всё меньше времени, соответственно, беты будут выходить каждую неделю, а не с перерывами — релиз финальной версии совсем близко.

В шестой бете было замечено одно небольшое изменение: в режиме энергосбережения не будут отображаться проценты заряда в иконке, если вы не выбрали их в настройках.

Больше никаких нововведений, а только исправления ошибок и повышение стабильности.

Компания Prodrive представила безумно красивый гоночный симулятор за 50 000 долларов.

За что такие деньги?

Во-первых, это очень красивый симулятор, который легко украсит какое-нибудь концептуальное пространство или современную квартиру.

Во-вторых, «подставка» выполнена из 16 слоёв берёзы, покрытых лаком чёрного цвета, а корпус основной части с сидением из углеродного волокна.

Уточнить характеристики или оформить предзаказ на Prodrive Racing Simulator можно на официальном сайте производителя.

Открыты наработки, связанные с системой машинного обучения Stable Diffusion, синтезирующей изображения на основе текстового описания на естественном языке. Проект развивается совместными усилиями исследователями из компаний Stability AI и Runway, сообществ Eleuther AI и LAION, а также группы CompVis lab (лаборатория исследований в области машинного зрения и машинного обучения при Мюнхенском университете). По возможностям и уровню качества результата Stable Diffusion напоминает проект DALL-E 2, но развивается как открытый и общедоступный. Реализация Stable Diffusion написана на языке Python и распространяется под лицензией MIT.

Компания Google опубликовала релиз открытой мобильной платформы Android 13. Связанные с новым выпуском исходные тексты размещены в Git-репозиторий проекта (ветка android-13.0.0_r1). Обновления прошивки подготовлены для устройств серии Pixel. Позднее планируется подготовить обновления прошивок для смартфонов производства Samsung, Asus, HMD (Nokia), iQOO, Motorola, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, vivo и Xiaomi. Дополнительно сформированы универсальные сборки GSI (Generic System Images), подходящие для разных устройств на базе архитектур ARM64 и x86_64.

Исследователь из Лёвенского католического университета продемонстрировал на конференции Black Hat технику компрометации пользовательского терминала Starlink, используемого для подключения абонентов к спутниковой сети SpaceX. Терминал оснащён собственным 64-разрядном SoC, созданным компанией STMicro специально для SpaceX. Программное окружение основано на Linux.

Группа исследователей из Грацского технического университета (Австрия), ранее известная разработкой атак MDS, NetSpectre, Throwhammer и ZombieLoad, раскрыла сведения о новом методе атаки по сторонним каналам (CVE-2021-46778) на очереди планировщика процессоров AMD, применяемые для планирования выполнения инструкций в разных исполнительных блоках CPU. Атака, получившая название SQUIP, позволяет определить используемые при вычислениях в другом процессе или виртуальной машине данные или организовать скрытый канал связи между процессами или виртуальными машинами, позволяющий обмениваться данными в обход системных механизмов разграничения доступа.

Какая классная история!

Чел честно пишет что он хочет от systems language: 1 To write code that was fast; that could take advantage of how computers actually worked and run as fast as the hardware allowed.

2 To write applications that could run in minimal environments like microcontrollers or web assembly where it just isn’t feasible (in time or space) to carry along a garbage collector, language runtime, etc.

PINE64 has made some brilliant moves to build up a mobile Linux community, and has also made some major mistakes.

The end of community editionsIn February 2021, PINE64 announced the end of the community editions.

There is a substantial change to booting between the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro.

I left all the official channels, stepped down as PINE64 moderator.

PINE64 cares only about Manjaro, and Manjaro does not care about working with any other distributions.

Tucked away inside a recent bleeding-edge Chrome build is a "Following feed" that has some bloggers dreaming of the return of Google Reader.

Enabling that #following-feed-sidepanel flag (now also available in Chrome's testing build, Canary) adds another option to the sidebar: Feed.

Like RSS feeds, the kind we once had in dear, departed Google Reader, slain for the sins of Google+?

Tofel writes that the underlying code of the feature "strongly suggests" an RSS-based feed reader, based on the specific language of "web feeds."

Chrome-watching blogs like to raise the specter of Google Reader in headlines when discussing Google's attempts to turn apps and devices into content hubs.

Hunger stones (hungerstein) are very much a real thing with a long and fascinating history.

And Europe is in the midst of a historically severe drought—severe enough that water levels may indeed be sufficiently low for the stones to re-emerge once more.

The recent droughts in Europe once again made visible the "Hunger Stones" in some Czech and German rivers.

These stones were used to mark desperately low river levels that would forecast famines.

Kim LaCapria, writing at Truth or Fiction, thinks it started with an August 10 post to the subreddit r/todayilearned, linking to the Wikipedia entry on hunger stones "simply as a point of interest."

In the months since that story broke out publicly, Kotaku reporter Sisi Jiang has tracked down even more allegations about the famed game publisher's American headquarters—and the allegations land squarely in the domain of sexual harassment and gender inequity.

The report includes attempts to reach out to Nintendo of America's leadership, an associated temp agency, and individual staffers who were named as workplace sexual harassers, but Kotaku says it never received answers to its questions.

The women who spoke to Kotaku both on and off the record collectively suggest that their hopes for turning part-time status into a full-time Nintendo career were strained by being women.

The Washington Post reported this week that these swattings appear to be intensifying and can be traumatizing for targeted Twitch streamers.

Seattle created a police anti-swatting service to help Twitch users warn police of potential false reports.

Those efforts helped lead Washington state to enact an anti-swatting law in 2020, and other states have followed that example.

Under the Kentucky law, victims are eligible to receive damages, including for emotional distress, and anyone sentenced risks up to five years in prison.

Another attempt at passing an anti-swatting law was introduced in Congress in 2019, but so far, it has gone nowhere.

Namely, why haven't we seen a price drop for the Nintendo Switch in the last five-plus years?

And can we ever expect Nintendo to offer the system for less than its launch price?

Data doings Data for the graphs in this piece comes from official price drop announcements or, when those aren't available, archived advertisements and store catalogs.

The few consoles that do make it out of their second full year without a price drop almost invariably see some sort of reduction in year three.

The Switch, which is still at 100 percent of its nominal launch price over five years after launch, is a huge outlier.

Windows 11's first major update, also called Windows 11 22H2, is due to be released to the public on September 20, according to separate reports from The Verge and Windows Central.

Like all major Windows updates, it likely won't be offered to all current Windows 11 users on September 20.

Microsoft usually sends the update to a small number of PCs first and gradually expands availability until all Windows 11 PCs have installed it.

For Windows 10 users who can't or don't want to install Windows 11, Windows 10 is getting its own 22H2 update.

Microsoft released a preview build for it late last month, but the company isn't talking about what this update actually does.

The judge overseeing the Twitter/Elon Musk case is giving Musk access to evidence from one former Twitter executive but rejected his request for documents from 21 other potential witnesses.

Android 13 is slowly rolling out to Pixel phones, but here's something to consider when that update message finally pops up on your device: You can never go back.

Google is apparently changing the way Android updates are enforced on its latest devices.

As pointed out by Android Police, the filings also show support for the 6 GHz frequencies of Wi-Fi 6E.

The model number—A4R-G6ZUC—is akin to other Nest products, and 9to5Google says it has confirmed that this is the number for the next Nest Wifi router.

It's worth noting that this FCC filing is only for a Nest Wifi router.

It's unclear whether Google will offer Nest hubs with built-in speakers, as with the previous Nest Wifi.

By the time Nest Wifi arrives (likely at an October Google hardware event), there will probably be strong Wi-Fi 6E mesh competition.

Middle-earth has seen more than its share of trials and challenges, but perhaps none more pressing today than a lack of mechanical keyboards that any of its various peoples can actually read.

Today, keyboard and audio brand Drop released two prebuilt mechanical keyboards to rule them all—or at least speakers of Elvish and Dwarvish.

The Drop + The Lord of the Rings Dwarvish and Elvish Keyboards ($169) are the first to gain official Lord of the Rings licensing, Drop said in its announcement today.

The keyboards build on Drop's November release of The Lord of the Rings keycap sets, also written in Elvish and Dwarvish, and follow Drop's Lord of the Rings artisan keycaps made from resin.

Hannah, who was a contractor, also found that she was being paid $3 less than a junior male tester and struggled to get her contracting agency to agree to a pay increase.

Hannah's experiences are similar to what many of the other female testers Kotaku had interviewed went through.

They said Forrest was in charge of deciding on contractors' schedules and on who gets to return after a project, so female testers were forced to get along with him.

The company's data also shows that female employees only make up around 37 percent of all full-time workers at Nintendo of America.

Two former workers even filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing Nintendo of America of reta…

Like Blizzard , Rockstar and Ubisoft , Sony may soon require you to download a launcher before you can play its games on PC.

Digging through the Windows version of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered , VGC verified code referencing a PlayStation PC launcher.

The discovery follows the recent revelation that Sony likely plans to add PlayStation Network integration to its PC titles.

At the moment, you can buy all of Sony’s PC titles through both Steam and the Epic Games Store.

In that way, the company could avoid giving Valve and Epic a cut of some of its PC sales.

Activision Blizzard is still receiving complaints over alleged labor violations.

The Communications Workers of America union (CWA) has filed an unfair labor practice charge accusing the game developer of illegally surveilling workers during a July walkout protest over gender inequity.

In statements to Engadget, Activision Blizzard generally dismissed the assertions.

The CWA filed a charge in June claiming Activision Blizzard broke labor law by firing QA contractors.

The company risks penalties and mandatory policy changes if it's found to be violating labor law.

President Joe Biden has signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

The sweeping $750 billion legislation includes $369 billion in investments toward climate and clean energy programs.

According to one estimate by Princeton University’s Zero Lab, the bill could reduce US greenhouse emissions by about 6.3 billion tons through 2032.

The $369 billion set aside by the bill represents the most significant investment to combat climate change in US history.

The law also calls for the creation of a $1.5 billion program to incentivize companies to reduce their methane emissions.

Meta has outlined its strategy for combatting misinformation during the 2022 US midterm elections, and they'll mostly sound familiar if you remember the company's 2020 approach.

The Facebook and Instagram owner said it will maintain policies and protections "consistent" with the presidential election, including policies barring vote misinformation and linking people to trustworthy information.

It will once again ban political ads during the last week of the election campaign.

Meta's update comes just days after Twitter detailed its midterm strategy, and echoes the philosophy of its social media rival.

Facebook didn't catch some false Brazilian election ads, according to Global Witness.

Our biggest critique with the Wonderboom 2 was its use of an “Athleisure” fabric wrap we deemed “a little too trendy.

The Wonderboom 3 also gets a boost in its wireless Bluetooth range to 40 meters, where as its predecessor could muster 30.

So, you’d be improving the speaker’s portability and its ability to connect to source devices indoors through multiple walls by upgrading .

It’s not a complete redesign of the already excellent wireless speaker, which is why version 3 carries over version 2's same $100 price tag.

Two top Democrats in the House of Representatives have issued requests to a host of federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, demanding details of alleged purchases of Americans’ personal data.

The lawmakers accuse the seven federal agencies of using commercial dealings with data brokers and so-called location aggregators to sidestep warrant requirements in obtaining Americans’ private data.

Unexpected how suddenly the prospect of a Big Thunder Mountain movie has gone from intriguing to very, very much having our attention.

Thanks to quite the exciting attachment of Bert and Bertie, who D eadline reports have hopped aboard the train for their take on the classic Disney Parks attraction.

That’s definitely going to be something that a pioneer centered tale, which Big Thunder Mountain will likely be, needs!

Meta claims it has hundreds of staff focused specifically on the midterms spread out across 40 teams.

It puts nearly $400 billion toward promoting domestic production of clean energy technology and generally retrofitting America to survive climate change.

In the immortal words of Uncle Sam, the bill screams: “I Want You” … to fight a war against climate change.

“Let’s say you spend $1,000 on insulation—you would be able to get a tax credit of 30 percent of that,” says Evans.

Now it’s 30 percent of purchases, a $1,200 tax credit maximum each year starting January 1, 2023 and running through 2032.

As for solar, the bill extends an existing federal tax credit, which covers 30 percent of the expenditure on residential solar, through 2032.

For over 30 years, I’ve spent thousands of dollars on my hearing aids, costs that were partially subsided by insurance.

This week, the FDA finalized over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids that can be sold without a prescription to people with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.

OTC hearing aids will be available as soon as October.

In 2017, Congress passed the FDA Reauthorization Act (FDARA) to create a category of OTC hearing aids for adults with perceived mild or moderate hearing loss.

Once OTC hearing aids hit the market, they will offer consumers cheaper, accessible, and technologically sophisticated options for improving hearing.

At the time I said that if Polestar ever made this drone I’d eat my driving gloves.

Well, there’s good and bad news.

The good news is that the company has announced it will be putting the O 2 into production under the name Polestar 6.

Which also means that, thankfully, my driving gloves live to ride another day.

Next year will see the arrival of the coupe SUV Polestar 4, and the electric four-door GT Polestar 5 will follow in 2024.

The same approach is used to generate a sequence of steps that the robot will execute to perform a given task.

It was 4 am on June 17 when Michelle Edwards, associate director of Kitt Peak National Observatory, got the news: A wildfire had breached the road up to the telescopes.

The Contreras wildfire had been triggered by a lightning strike six days prior on Tohono O’odham nation lands in Arizona, a few miles southeast of the summit where Kitt Peak is located.

Teams of essential personnel visited each of Kitt Peak’s 23 telescopes, covering up domes and powering down electronics.

“Arizona is unfortunately becoming a hotbed for wildfires,” Edwards says.

“And we have seen impact from fire before at Kitt Peak, although nothing as bad as this.”Kitt Peak isn’t the first observatory threatened as climate …

Each fitness tracker also has one primary proprietary health metric, like Fitbit’s Daily Readiness score or Garmin’s Body Battery.

Zepp Health uses PAI based on the research of Ulrik Wisløff, a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

It uses your age, sex, resting heart rate, and past seven days of heart rate data to calculate your PAI, but it’s really just a metric that’s similar to Amazon’s Activity Points.

The other metrics that Zepp Health OS measures are steps, sleep, heart rate, and activities.

It has onboard GPS, which is startling in a fitness tracker at this price point, and it was pretty accurate—the measurements were consistent with my Garmin Instinct 2S.

But an autopsy is invasive, involving cutting open the body to inspect the organs inside.

In the case of children, the idea can horrify parents, even if the cause of death is unknown.

If the imaging isn’t enough, the team can use much smaller incisions to take organ samples to be tested.

To rectify this, the team has pioneered the use of a newer imaging technique with very young children, called microfocus computed tomography, or micro-CT.

It captures 3D objects in higher resolution, meaning the team can inspect small babies with nearly identical levels of accuracy as with an invasive autopsy.

Part of why many users love Google is its sleek designs and ability to return remarkably accurate results.

Overtime, the way that the corporation returns information has shifted ever so slightly.

First Google launched AdWords, allowing businesses to buy space at the top and tailoring returns to maximize product placement.

The problem is, many rely on search engines to seek out information about more convoluted topics.

Google summaries can also mislead the public on issues of grave importance to sustaining our democracy.

TikTok says it will link out to the Election Center through labels placed on midterm-related content, including videos posted by governments, candidates, and political parties.

Airbnb is testing new “anti-party technology” in the US and Canada as it attempts to enforce a global ban on house parties it made permanent earlier this year, the company has announced.

The company says it’s been trialing similar technology in select areas of Australia since October 2021, where it saw a 35 percent drop in unauthorized parties.

Although most social distancing rules have now been relaxed, Airbnb found that its party ban was a positive move for its business, and has decided to keep it in place.

Guests who are suspected and blocked from making bookings to host unauthorized parties may still be able to make an alternative booking via Airbnb, the company’s announcement post says…

Microsoft is rolling out a taskbar notification system to its Windows 11 widgets this week.

All Windows 11 users will start to see these new widget notifications in the coming days and weeks, thanks to an update to the Windows Web Experience Pack that powers Microsoft’s widgets feature.

Given we can fine tune news content inside the main widgets panel, I’m hoping that a setting to fine tune widget notifications is on the way.

Speaking of future Windows 11 updates, Microsoft is also planning to release its next major OS update on September 20th.

Windows 11 22H2 will include new app folders in the Start menu, drag and drop on the taskbar, new touch gestures, and much more.

Most popular period and pregnancy tracking apps don’t have strong privacy protections, according to a new analysis from researchers at Mozilla.

Period and pregnancy tracking apps collect data that could theoretically be used to prosecute people getting abortions in places where it’s illegal.

The analysis looked at 25 of the most popular apps and wearable devices that have period and pregnancy tracking features.

Garmin, Fitbit, Apple Watch, Oura Ring, and Whoop Strap include period tracking features and met Mozilla’s standards for privacy.

Mozilla released a similar report around mental health apps in May of this year and also found that those products did a bad job protecting user privacy.

Logitech has announced the Chorus, a $99 audio accessory that aims to bolster sound quality coming out of the Meta Quest 2 VR headset.

Their volume is controlled through the Quest 2’s volume rocker.

It’s powered via the Quest 2’s USB-C port, though it supports USB-C passthrough, so you can keep your headset charged or connect other devices to it.

At $99, this could be a worthwhile upgrade for people who want more immersion than what the Quest 2’s piddly (yet surprisingly capable) strap-integrated speakers can offer.

It’s not really much of a hack, but you could also just plug in any set of wired 3.5mm headphones into the Quest 2.

Ultimate Ears just announced the Wonderboom 3, the latest iteration of its beloved entry-level portable speaker that promises high-quality 360-degree audio and up to 14 hours of battery life in an adorably compact package that still floats on water.

WhatsApp’s new app on Windows no longer requires you to link your phone to send, receive, and sync messages.

An update on WhatsApp’s site reveals the refreshed Windows app is out of beta and available to download on the Microsoft Store.

Previously, users on Windows had to download WhatsApp’s web-based desktop app or access the messaging service from their web browsers.

The new app is native to Windows, which, as WhatsApp explains, should make the app faster and more responsive.

It's a modern Windows app which replaces the old electron/web version.

Universal has announced its latest Jurassic World tie-in product: A Pokémon Go-style AR app called DinoTracker.

The premise of the app is pretty simple: Using their phone’s camera, players can “track” traces of dinos in the world around them.

Developed by Trigger XR, the game uses Niantic’s Lightship ARDK to recognize different surfaces and spaces, and maps the dino of the appropriate size to the space around the user.

GamesBeat spoke with Jason Yim, Trigger XR CEO, about the app.

This is not the first time a Jurassic World tie-in app has used AR technology to try and put dinos in the real world — 2018’s Jurassic World Alive launched roughly around the release of the film Fallen Kingdom.

Xbox announced the latest infusion of fresh blood into the Game Pass catalog, and it’s looking good for the month.

The new round of additions includes four Day One releases, as well as the relatively big Ubisoft release Immortals: Fenyx Rising.

Midnight Fight Express, the first Day One release, launches on August 23.

It’s followed on August 25 by puzzle game Exapunks and adventure game Opus: Echo of Starsong — Full Bloom Edition.

Unfortunately, a fresh batch of games means that we have to sacrifice others, and Game Pass is losing some big names at the end of August.

If data is the new gold, then controlling your organization’s data is invaluable, especially in the face of economic uncertainty.

In a new blog post, Blizzard has detailed how Overwatch players will be able to merge their accounts ahead of the October 4 launch for Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 will come out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and feature cross-play.

The original also has cross-play support, but players had separate progression for each platform.

Starting today, players can merge any of those separate platform accounts as long as they are tied into the same Battle.net profile.

The blog post goes into detail on the specifics of how this will all work, but this is good news for Overwatch fans that want to hop around different platforms.

Automated guided vehicles are a simple solution to solve transportation issues, and their application has broadened during the late 20th century.

Once you have your onboarding training prepared, you can then use your calendar to plan it out and ensure success.

This can be a beneficial technique for ensuring you can fit in onboarding training and your regular tasks and meetings.

When you are setting up your onboarding calendar, ensure you add in reminders where it’s helpful.

It’s important that your onboarding training includes your company culture and expectations, but it’s particularly important that remote workers feel part of your company.

Of course, you need to organize your time and calendar to ensure you can onboard everyone, remote or not.

After proving its merit and going through both series A and series B funding, Truework returned again.

As a result, its founders have been able to capture $50 million in series C funding in 2022.

It’s the fact that like most startups, their success came from identifying a problem and simplifying it — namely, employment verification.

So there’s lots of room for improvement on all fronts, starting with speedier income and employment verification.

Beyond Work Verification: Truework’s Entry Into Other MarketsAs with many startups, Truework had to prove its worth initially.

Pros of Investing in Real EstateMany folks are familiar with some of the advantages of investing in real estate.

Aside from common strategies like rental property investing or house flipping, real estate investors can also get started in low- or no-money-down systems like wholesale real estate.

Real estate investors who are just getting started can also use more passive means like REITs, which are essentially mutual funds that hold real estate investments.

Cons of Investing in Real EstateLike any investment, real estate isn’t perfect and isn’t right for everyone.

Apple last month settled a lawsuit against Chicago as the city imposed a new local tax for streaming services.

The company will begin collecting the tax for subscribers in Chicago starting next month.

A local tax on streaming servicesAs reported by Seeking Alpha, Apple will begin collecting the so-called “Netflix tax” from consumers in Chicago starting in September.

Documents obtained from the settlement revealed that the taxes will apply to every Apple streaming platform, such as Apple Music, Apple TV+, and even Apple Arcade.

The tax for streaming services in Chicago was actually a “reinterpretation” of a previous tax program that already established a city tax on tickets for recreational …

Apple is reportedly threatening to fire an employee over her posting a TikTok with iPhone security tips and advice.

As first spotted by The Verge, the employee was told that she “breached company policy” by identifying herself as an Apple employee in a video about Apple products.

The employee, Paris Campbell, has worked in Apple retail for six years and currently serves as a repair technician.

The video posted to TikTok by Campbell came in response to a video from another user who lost her iPhone at Coachella and subsequently started receiving threatening text messages.

Илон Маск продал акций Tesla почти на 7 миллиардов долларов. Судя по всему это попытка снизить влияние дела по “покупке твиттера”. При некоторых исходах дела судья может принудить Маска к продаже большой части Тесла, а такая распродажа может привести к резкому снижению курса, так что всё логично — лучше продавать небольшими частями уже сейчас, чтобы перестраховаться.Все еще верю, что вся история с Твиттером нужна Маску для того, чтобы легально и без вопросов продать несколько долей в Тесле. https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-sells-nearly-7-billion-worth-of-tesla-stock-11660096215?mod=djemalertNEWS

Когда-то давно я вам рассказывал, что заход Netflix на дистрибуцию мобильных игр может быть очень сильным. И вот первая аналитика от Apptopia — 23M+ скачиваний игр и приблизительно 1.7M дневной аудитории.

Министерство юстиции США подтвердили, что основатель биржи BTC-e экстрадирован из Греции в США. Напомню, биржа закрылась, Винник скрывался (по его словам отдыхал с семьей), его арестовали в Греции и обвинили в отмывании денег мафии и участии в схеме по отмыву того, что украли у MtGox. Биржа пропустили через себя около 4 миллиардов долларов в биткоинах (из которых где-то на $200 моих. Я их не успел вывести, не забуду, не прощу!).Это было в 2017, когда биткоин стоил примерно по $700-800, т.е. сейчас речь бы шла примерно о 130 миллиардов долларов в биткоинах, прошедших через биржу. Цифра не безумная, но большая. Виннику вменяют «за умышленное нарушение законов США о борьбе с отмыванием денег» …

Калифорнийская DMV обвиняет компанию Tesla в ложной рекламе функций “Автопилота” и “FSD” (это вообще Full Self Driving). Заявление подано 28 июля, и да, если рассматривать тексты на сайте и в рекламе, они прям врут. Вот вам цитата: “Все, что вам нужно будет сделать, это сесть в машину и сказать, куда ехать. Если вы ничего не скажете, ваша машина просмотрит ваш календарь и отвезет вас туда как предполагаемый пункт назначения. Ваш Tesla выберет оптимальный маршрут, ориентируясь по городским улицам, сложным перекресткам и автострадам”. Обратите внимание, не “возможно, сможет выбрать”, а прямо “выберет” и “отвезет”.https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-08-05/dmv-false-advertising-tesla

Метеорологи и климатологи давно научились эффективно работать в области пиара и коммуникаций — и это правильно; особенно, когда речь об опасных явлениях природы. Серьезные ураганы и тайфуны получают имена, и существует целая система их нейминга. Но дают их не просто так - ураган должен стать достаточно опасным, претендовать на частое поминание в новостях — и тогда он из безликой сущности с абстрактным идентификатором превращается в, например, Катрину. Так что имя - это еще и маркер значимости. И вот случилось знаковое событие. В Испании установившейся жаре дали имя: когда в Севилье на протяжении трёх дней июля стояла удушающая жара вплоть до 44 градусов, было объявлено, что в регион пришла …

В истории с взрывным интересом к рисовальным талантам нейросетей интересны два аспекта; обоих здесь в канале касался: 1. В гонке на равных участвуют не только гиганты типа Гугла или OpenAI, но я бодрые стартапы, и у них получается. 2. Не успела еще устаканиться ситуация с ИИ-генерацией статических картинок, как на сцену уже начинает выходить “видео по описанию” и 3D-сцены по описанию.Вот очередная иллюстрация сразу двух этих моментов. Компания Runway, занимающаяся разработкой софта для работы с видео и имеющая прямое отношение к чудесному инструменту Stable Diffusion для генерации картинок, начала силами своих сотрудников дразнить кусочками видео, сгенеренными по описанию. Поскольку компани…

На всякое правило найдутся исключения: поэтому ссылка не на текст про технологии, как принято в этом канале, а на скорее биографическую заметку. Но так неожиданно приятно было отвечать «Ведомостям» не на осточертевшие вопросы про ИИ, метавселенную и даже любимый Яндекс, а про дороги и фотографии дальних краев — и поэтому побалую себя, простите, ссылочкой и здесь; минутка тщеславия ;)https://www.vedomosti.ru/gorod/townspeople/articles/andrei-sebrant-direktor-po-strategicheskomu-marketingu-yandeksa-mne-vsegda-nravilis-tsifrovie-igrushki

Пока мы ждём обещанного Маском человекоподобного робота от Теслы (собираются показать в сентябре), можно полюбоваться на китайский вариант. Xiaomi только что выпустили на сцену своего андроида (рост 177, вес 52), который даже раскрашен в черно-белые цвета, напоминающие о костюме того человека, который демонстрировал тесловскую концепцию год назад. Семенит китайское изделие как-то немного старчески и умеет немногое (хотя технические параметры заявлены богатые), но мы же помним, что клонировать собачку от Boston Dynamics у китайцев вышло неплохо, так что и этот персонаж, видимо, скоро чему-то научится. Особенно посмотрев скорую презентацию тесловского собрата. https://www.engadget.com/xiaomi-…

На фоне неутихающих страстей журналистов и внешних экспертов по поводу опасностей ИИ для человечества интересно взглянуть на статистику мнений (а не громкие отдельные высказывания) тех, кто реально в этом поле работает. Вот как раз опубликованы методически вполне корректные результаты такого опроса среди 4271 исследователя, чьи работы были приняты конференциями NeurIPS или ICML в 2021. Их мнения относительно HLMI разнятся (да, используется не расхожий и смутный термин Общий ИИ, а более внятный прагматичный HLMI - подразумевающий, что unaided machines can accomplish every task better and more cheaply than human workers и не обсуждающий вопросы самосознания). Выводы в целом довольно спокойные…

Всякие электросамокаты и велосипеды обзывают средствами микромобильности, хотя они миниатюрны разве что в сравнении с автобусом. На практике эти устройства достаточно громоздки и тяжелы для пешехода, если их надо тащить, а не ехать на них. И вот достойный прорыв: электроролики, причём одеваемые поверх обычной обуви. Коньки обладают впечатляющими характеристиками: разгоняются до 27 км/час, запаса хода от одной зарядки хватит на 15 км, время заряда аккумулятора 2 часа. Для настоящей подвижности в городе — самое то. Правда, как все устройства с маленькими колёсами, очень чувствительны к покрытию — нет в мире совершенства.https://newatlas.com/urban-transport/airtrick-e-skates/

У глобального потепления обнаружилась полезная для человечества и, в особенности, для технологий всякой электрификации побочка.Глобальное потепление сопровождается в Гренландии локальным, но очень активным, сокращением ледового покрова. Как следствие, на освобождающихся ото льда впервые за тысячелетия площадях становится возможно вести геологоразведку — а в дальнейшем и добычу полезных ископаемых. Геологи ожидают, что в этих краях могут быть богатейшие месторождения никеля, кобальта и прочих дефицитных элементов. Неудивительно, что целый ряд богатейших людей планеты инвестирует в гренландскую геологоразведку: тут и Безос, и Гейтс, и Блумберг; вкладываться в новый источник заведомо ограничен…

Недавно писал здесь о работе сотрудников Apple, где они рассказали о своей системе генерации трехмерных сцен по словесному описанию. Вот подоспели и примеры: автор заметки не впечатлён, поскольку творчество эпплового GAUDI на фоне детальных, четких и роскошных работ DALLE 2, Imagen или Midjourney выглядит кривенько и простенько, да и с кучей артефактов. Но это — видео, и это визуализация придуманной алгоритмом 3D-сцены, задачка другого класса. И для первого подхода к снаряду результат даже очень ОК, с чего начиналась генерация 2D мы тоже помним.Но, конечно же, все — а в особенности журналисты— нынче нетерпеливы, и хочется немедленных чудес ;) https://www.creativebloq.com/news/gaudi-apple
