Noted Critic of Cuba Lambasts EU Aid to Cuba 

The Wall Street Journal’s columnist, Mary Anastasia O’Grady, has penned a severe criticism of the European Union’s financial aid to the island. This July, for example, the EU “sent E500,000 to Cuba, ostensibly  for ‘public health’” and its “Multiannual Indicative Programme (MIP) for Cuba for 2021-2024 amounts to €91 million.”[1] “Anna Fotyga, a former Polish minister of foreign affairs and a…

W6: social media influencers and the slow fashion movement.

Influencers are defined as people who have an impact on a certain group or community through images, actions, and ideas that are received to a certain extent. Hence, the establishment of influencers is formed based on the platform and method they choose. Social media platforms, influencers have used social media platforms as a marketing method of advertising products(Evers,2021). With social media and its viral nature, influencers have a greater chance of engaging online audiences than traditional media audiences before social media platforms came along. The strong growth of platforms contributes to the ever-expanding role and influence of influencers in the marketing strategies of fashion brands. Ryu (2019) stated that the pervasiveness and huge user communities that social media platforms possess create a diversity of any user's online fashion preferences and needs. An influencer's online characteristics are also noticed by brands, as they consider whether the influencer audience is a good fit for a brand's promotional product. 

 Acumen and updates are focused and implemented in building influencers' content, allowing them to maintain their reputation. For promotion in slow fashion, influencers can act as spreaders about fashion trends through sharing images using products. Especially, other things can also be composed of ideals, thoughts or words expressed through the form of posts, videos, sharing slow fashion products (Jung & Jin,2016). However, the fast-paced, consumer-oriented nature of social media may be at odds with the principles of slow fashion, which advocate reducing waste, valuing ethical production practices, and valuing quality over quantity (Korell & Logan,2012).

Korell & Logan (2012) assert that the role of affiliate marketing campaigns in collaboration with social media influencers is extremely important, including influencing brand identity and message communication. For example, set up with Stella McCartney, a fashion house that promotes sustainability with eco-friendly designs, Mariacarla Boscono and Natalia Vodianova, two models and social media influencers were selected for the Spring/Summer 2016 womenswear campaign collection and attracted a wide audience. Hence, the reputation boost can threaten the development of the product in the case of superficiality and inconsistency in the influencer's product promotion process. The core values of sustainability and friendliness of slow fashion can be mitigated by the pressure of content innovation, creating ridiculous and unrealistic ads in the marketing process(Dantas,2020). Hence, In order for influencers to effectively advocate slow fashion, there needs to be a deeper, more critical interaction with the principles of the movement. Brands also need to be selective and decide carefully in the influencer selection process.

Quote of the Week

After doing a best fit, we found Rust projects were less likely to introduce vulnerabilities than their equivalent C++ projects at all relevant experience levels, but more importantly, we found the effect was most significant for first-time contributors, who were almost two orders of magnitude less likely to contribute vulnerabilities. That is, even though Rust may have a reputation as a harder language to learn, there is a very measurable effect that makes it better for newbies. Reviewers should not have to put as much effort into reviewing code to be confident that someone making their first foray into their project is accidentally adding a vulnerability.

What's 8X Computing Squad?

For the people who are asking what is this 8X Computing Squad thing I am running I'm about to spill the beans.

8X Computing Squad (formerly 8X Computing Inc.) (pronounced "Optics" from the Romanian pronunciation of 8 because I think lasers are cool) is a group that I made back in November 2019 by myself. While I am calling it a group I am the only member running it. Sort of like how Neil Cicierega is the only member of Lemon Demon. My early projects consisted of modifying software. One example is a modified version of Radiation's Deltarune to replace the OST with memes. In disaster year 2020 I have shifted my interest somewhat from software to hardware. I have written many hardware concepts on my sketchbook. One of them being a concept for a game console running Windows XP with a custom shell written in GameMaker Studio 2 that gives the user full control over the system. The concept of using Windows XP and GameMaker failed due to the copyright of Windows XP and the restrictiveness of GameMaker however the main base remained. Not like I was going to sell it publicly but I still wanted a system for a project. And then in 2021 I started considering Linux. I was using Linux as a secondary operating system for a year back then however with the release of Windows 11 and the end of life status for Windows 7 I decided that it was now or never o finally move on from Windows altogether. I first used Ubuntu however I was also using older versions of the OS too for trying to figure out how Linux worked under the hood. And after a while in 2021 I managed to compile the Linux kernel 2.6.26 on Ubuntu 9.04. I was ecstatic and I decided to go even further. And to keep the rest short in 2022 I made 2 prototypes of a prototype Linux operating system codenamed LinX86. One based on Debian and another developed on top of BusyBox. I was also concidering ARM based systems like cell phones and tablets and even making concepts of a desktop ATX board running on a RISC architecture like MIPS or ARM. And then the year 2023 came and I made further progress. I started taking RISC architectures seriously and I started compiling the Linux kernel on different android devices, getting access to the internal UART shell and hacking the firmware and boot image on them to get full desktop Linux on them. I got the deepest this year into firmware hacking and low cost embedded systems. I got plenty of old android smartphones and tablets and hacked them to run desktop Linux on them. I even wrote my own initramfs (to put it simply a micro Linux OS that prepares the big machine for blast-off) and placeholder init system in C to work well (the program that starts the real OS). While I haven't gotten LinX86 to function very well with the custom init stuff it did make the system simpler with less junk running in the background (although I still need to work on it). This is also the year I gotten somewhat into game development and I wanted to make my own 2D game engine in C for RPG games and the like. Overall my motivation is just fun. It's like other people making art, writing poems, making music and playing sports. It's just my outlet for stuff I like to do. Also I remade the logo myself today. I might post more stuff about the group on YouTube. youtube.com/@8XCompSq

So yeah.

Impact of COVID-19 Efforts on Payment Adjustments in MIPS 2022

MIPS 2022 has been the payment adjustment year for MIPS 2020 reporting – the drastic phase for providers which has influenced the MIPS reporting a lot.

CMS has made simple rules and planned every event in MIPS reporting from the beginning. For MIPS 2021 as a performance year, the respective payment adjustment year was CY 2022. However, CMS has provided the relevant MIPS 2020 final score to all the participants long before entering 2022. This MIPS final score-assigning process was done in August 2021. And almost this is the same pattern for every MIPS program. Every year providers enter a new MIPS performance year while receiving MIPS final score for the previous year. Alongside this, the same CY is marked as a payment year for some previous QPP MIPS reporting. Thus, MIPS 2022 payment year is aligned with MIPS 2020 performance year.

Belgian waste processor itself sets a good example

Afval Alternatief (Waste Alternative), the name says it all. The Dessel[1]-based company on the Kastelsedijk - right next to the Graspop[2] sites - is unpacking with circular waste containers and foil bags.

Ten years ago, Aart Van Oekelen and Jo Smolders set up their own company. Afval Alternatief[3] now employs ninety people.

“We specialise in the selective collection of waste and recycling streams,” explains Van Oekelen. “We collect waste from companies and provide advice on sorting and recycling. Now we are setting a good example ourselves.”

Circular

The new collection containers from Waste Alternative are made from recycled plastics. Circular, as it is called. “The word is often used in a marketing context, but here we really get to work.”

“We are switching to gray containers that consist of up to 95% recycled granulate,” the manager continues. "For coloured containers the recycling material has to be purified with new 'virgin' material, and that is bad for the environment."

“The bags with which we collect wrapping film from our SMEs are also converted into granulate to make the same product again. By reusing materials, we save energy and reduce our CO2 emissions by 80,000 kg.”

These are challenging times for entrepreneurs, including brands at Waste Alternative. “We are investing heavily in new trucks, but therefore we now have to look two years ahead. There is a lot of uncertainty and we also notice the same feeling within our customer base. Unfortunately, I do not know an entrepreneur with a crystal ball.”

Circular is part of the solution, emphasizes Van Oekelen. Because this is the only way companies can make themselves less dependent on expensive raw materials and variable delivery times. “Our new waste containers and foil bags fit into a broader circular economy story. That will be our focus in 2023.”

Scope of the Report of HPC In Cloud

In terms of performance and accessibility, HPC cloud computing has advanced significantly. Cloud services can help businesses meet their most complicated and difficult computing and storage-intensive requirements when they need to execute HPC applications. Researcher productivity can be increased by using HPC in the cloud, which allows them to focus on their work rather than waiting for jobs to complete. In contrast to a general-purpose computer, HPC refers to high performance computing. Instead of million instructions per second, the performance of an HPC system is measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) (MIPS). Supercomputers, commonly referred to as HPC systems, are capable of quadrillions of FLOPS, or petaFLOPS. Today, Linux-based operating systems are used by the majority of supercomputers.

In 2021, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced that it has acquired Determined AI, a San Francisco-based startup that delivers a powerful and robust software stack to train AI models faster, at any scale, using its open-source machine learning (ML) platform. HPE will combine Determined AI’s unique software solution with its world-leading AI and high-performance computing (HPC) offerings to enable ML engineers to easily implement and train machine learning models to provide faster and more accurate insights from their data in almost every industry.

In 2021, Dell Technologies announced three expanded offerings in conjunction with the start of the ISC21 digital conference. The centerpiece is Omnia, new software underpinning workload deployment and management and ‘composable infrastructure’ capabilities. Also announced were expanded HPC-on-demand services and server GPU options.
