9L0-314 syllabus - Apple Hardware Recertification Updated: 2023

Jon Stewart's Apple program is abruptly ending after executives at the tech giant reportedly objected to potential syllabus like China and AI. 

The New York Times reported Thursday that Apple is pulling the plug on "The Problem with Jon Stewart" ahead of a third season due to "creative differences."

"Mr. Stewart and Apple executives had disagreements over some of the syllabus and guests on ‘The Problem,’ two of the people said," the Times reported. "Mr. Stewart told members of his staff on Thursday that potential show syllabus related to China and artificial intelligence were causing concern among Apple executives, a person with knowledge of the meeting said. As the 2024 presidential campaign begins to heat up, there was potential for further creative disagreements, one of the people said."

According to the Times, "The Problem" was set to begin taping episodes of its third season within a couple of weeks.

Neither Apple nor representatives for Stewart responded to FOX News' requests for comment.

JON STEWART RECOUNTS ANGRY BACKLASH FOR PUSHING LAB LEAK THEORY ON COLBERT: ‘F--- YOU, I’M DONE'

Stewart launched "The Problem" on the Apple TV+ streaming service in 2021 after serving as host of "The Daily Show" from 1999-2015. 

It is unclear what exactly Stewart wanted to cover regarding China, but the liberal comedian went viral in June 2021 when he made an impassioned argument in favor of the Wuhan lab-leak theory on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

Stewart shocked the left-wing audience as well as his pal Stephen Colbert by promoting the belief that the coronavirus stemmed from a Chinese coronavirus lab.

"Perhaps there's a chance that this was created in a lab?" Colbert asked.

"A chance?!" Stewart exclaimed. "Oh, my God. There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do? Oh, you know, we could ask- the Wuhan novel respiratory Coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab! That's just a little too weird, don't you think?"

He then compared the lab-leak theory to an "outbreak of chocolaty goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania." 

"Maybe a steam shovel mated with a cocoa bean… or it's the f---in chocolate factory!" Stewart shouted.

The landscape of late-night comedy has been in flux in exact years. Stewart's "Daily Show" successor Trevor Noah parted ways with Comedy Central in late 2022 and the show has been cycling through guest hosts ever since. 

In April, fellow comedian James Corden ended his stint as "The Late Late Show" host with no plans for CBS to find a successor. 

Both of TBS' late-night offerings, "Conan" and "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee," also stopped production.

While the long-running late-night shows on ABC, NBC and CBS have seen a significant decline in viewership, FOX News' "Gutfeld!" has quickly emerged as the new "king of late night" since its debut in 2021.

These 5 Big Changes In iPhone 15 Series Will Be The Stand Out Upgrades Over iPhone 14

Apple's iPhone 15 lineup is set to introduce significant upgrades, including a USB Type-C port, the "Dynamic Island" feature on all models, camera enhancements via a partnership with Sony, performance improvements with new chipsets, and hardware changes such as a titanium body and slimmer bezels, making it potentially the priciest iPhone series yet.

Despite being renewed for more episodes, “The Problem with Jon Stewart” is ending, according to a report in The New York Times. Filming for season three was set to begin soon, but those plans have now been scrapped.

According to the newspaper, Apple executives resisted coverage of some syllabus Stewart had planned to tackle in the third season, including coverage of China and AI matters. The upcoming treatment of the 2024 presidential race was also reportedly of concern.

The situation is a little weird as the first two seasons of the panel show certainly did not shy away from serious topics, including some reflective criticism of Apple itself. Seasons 1 and 2 included reporting on gun policy, US midterms, and Trump’s indictment, for instance.

Nevertheless, it appears Apple was uncomfortable with the direction of the show heading into the third season, but Stewart wanted full creative control. He opted to walk away.

How successful the show was for Apple in terms of viewership remains unclear. But “The Problem with Jon Stewart” inspired several viral moments, with clips spreading widely on social media. And seemingly, the accompanying podcast was reasonably popular.

Apple first agreed to an overall deal with Jon Stewart’s production company in early 2020, covering The Problem and other current affairs projects. Presumably, that deal is now canceled, too.

And Charestonw wasn't an outlier:
"First, far-right terrorism has significantly outpaced terrorism from other types of perpetrators, including from far-left networks and individuals inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Right-wing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years. Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020."

Facts really don't support your opinion.

Apple's VP of Worldwide Product Marketing Bob Borchers gave an interview to machine learning engineer and content creator Lin YiLYi to discuss the M3's machine learning acceleration chops. Starting right in on the Topic of Apple's shared memory architecture, Lin YiLYi said having such a large pool of memory is like a "beautiful breeze" especially with large memory configurations and Apple Silicon's dedicated Neural Engines on the dual-CPU M2 Ultra with 128GB of memory. The task of training machine learning models can outstrip the VRAM pool on dedicated graphics cards, especially consumer models, so combining the GPU's memory with the rest of the system is a win. So far that isn't really new information.

"Actually, 8GB in an M3 MacBook Pro is probably analogous to 16GB on other systems. We just happen to be able to use it much more efficiently," Borchers told Lin YiLYi. He challenged users to try an 8GB MacBook Pro to do what it is they do, and then went on to use marketing speak, saying that prospective buyers "need to look beyond the specifications." 

While some of what Borchers says is objectively true, we feel the need to point out that macOS isn't the only operating system that supports compressed memory. The feature has been part of Windows since Insider's build 10525 for Windows 10 in August of 2015, rolled out to all systems in 2016. So while at one point that was a valid talking point, it's grown quite stale today. Just about every modern platform uses some kind of memory compression, Bob.

As far as efficient memory use, it's hard to quantify; both macOS and Windows cache as much as they possibly can in RAM and dump that cache when the memory is needed so a machine is as responsive as it can be. The one advantage macOS might have over Windows today is that the M3's integrated GPU only gets the memory it needs when it needs it, but that's not a factor on any "pro" Windows PC with a discrete GPU. What we do know is the M2 Pro MacBook Pro 14 uses around 6GB at startup with minimal background tasks loading. Bear in mind that's on an 8GB system that would not leave much wiggle room, so fingers crossed on the cache being a big part of it.

It seems pretty obvious to us that Apple doesn't want people to customize M3 Macs with those kinds of upcharge prices. On a personal note, as a developer who uses the Mac platform daily, I'm a little embarrassed for Borchers making those claims. 8GB is absolutely not enough just to build and run iOS apps in Xcode's simulator or keep even moderately-sized web apps building smoothly, for example.

The full Apple machine learning interview is available on Lin YiLYi's Bilibili channel in English with Chinese subtitles, and clocks in at a brisk 12 minutes or so.
