The residence of former PM Najib Razak at Jalan Langgak Duta has been officially declared a prison. The order covers all buildings and areas spanning 4,559 sq m at the property, the Home Ministry said.
Najib Razak has returned to Kajang Prison after undergoing medical and dental checks at HKL. This follows the AGC’s decision to temporarily defer his house arrest pending further clarification on his conditional pardon.

As someone who used to live in a prisons compound, I can say that this does not look anything like it. At the very least, the walls/fences are not to spec.

tiap kali ada industrial trend kerajaan suruh university dan students ikut trend by the time budak grad bubble dah burst, graduate tak boleh cari kerja ternganga. kapitalis sengih. berapa kali nak buat scam ni?

An idea for @sprgovmy to consider for postal votes. 1. Mail out the return envelopes on dissolution. 2. Produce PDF of ballot after nomination. 3. Voters print and mark the ballot. 4. Voters return ballot via authentic envelope. Minimize delays and stress for voter and worker.

Have a business so good that you need to rate limit authentic customers. πŸ‘
Khairul Aming has introduced a new booking system for his restaurant Rembayung in collaboration with Grab, hoping to reduce the issue of reservation scalpers. Under the new system, verified Grab users can only make one reservation every two weeks. Bookings are also non-transferable to prevent people from reselling their slots. Customers must bring the phone used to make the reservation and open the Grab app for verification before entering the restaurant. Screenshots will not be accepted. The new booking system is available starting Monday (Nov 2), with Khairul Aming hoping the changes will help make reservations fairer for customers.

Wise words
The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

A question I've asked myself many times. Could you render video frames directly without any frame buffer - cos RAM is expensive in embedded systems.
What if a chip could render a "3D" view inspired by Wolfenstein 3D without a framebuffer? πŸ€” This week’s Chip of the Week is raybox-zero by Anton Maurovic. It uses ray casting to render a textured 3D-like view of a map, racing the beam to generate the picture live as the VGA signal is sent. Check it out here: tiny.tt/explore-tt07-raybox-… What do you think is the coolest part of this design? πŸ€”
