Tip: You can take Waymo to just outside the economy lot, then hop on the shuttle to the terminals. The shuttles have their own dedicated lane for going around the loop, so this isn't even that much more time. It's my new favorite way to get to LAX.

Because today is the day that I read the blog post.

I agree with you that Apple taking action on the account is not wholly unreasonable. What I found shocking was the inability to contact someone who could resolve the situation. I know this is a common issue with Google, but had expected Apple to be different.

Reading the paper, it looks like they just demonstrate classification by left loop/right loop/whorl. That's a long way from recreating a full fingerprint.

Exactly right that this targets a narrower surface to enable many deep learning models. I wonder how uncommon it is to hit some operation that is not included, though? It seems pretty common from a PyTorch MPS tracking issue:

NVIDIA's moat is not just in providing BLAS++ operations, but extending this to a wider range of cuSPARSE, cuSOLVE, cuTENSOR, etc. Without these, it feels like Apple is just trying to play catch up with whatever is popular and unsupported...

It looks like this is still missing many matrix operations like QR, SVD, einsum, etc. Is there a clear route to using these on the GPU in Python on Apple Silicon? Last I checked the PyTorch backend was still missing at least QR...

Shake the cursor and it will temporarily grow much larger.

I think cursor customizations died with memory safety.
