Senate approves billions for US semiconductor manufacturing – The funding is on track to meet Biden’s chip goals – After months of political jockeying and procedural hurdles, the Senate approved a massive science and technology bill Tuesday to boost US competitiveness with China.

„Der“ Instagram Algorithmus

Adam Mosseri: There Is No Single Instagram Algorithm – The head of the Facebook-owned photo– and videosharing network sought to clear up some mysteries – Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri shared a lengthy blog post in which he sought to explain some of the mysteries behind the Facebook-owned photo- and video-sharing network. … Mosseri pointed out that Instagram does not have one single algorithm that controls what people see and don’t see on the application, instead relying on ‚a variety of algorithms, classifiers and processes, each with its own purpose.‘ He also addressed the shift to an algorithmic feed from a chronological one in 2016, saying users were missing 70% of the posts in their feed, and he said that each part of the app has its own algorithm tailored to how people use it: Explore, feed, Reels.“

Apple Music: CD-Qualität und mehr

Apple Music launches Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio, adds Spatial Audio playlists – The lossless tier begins at CD quality – 16 bit at 44.1 kHz, and goes up to 24 bit at 48 kHz, Apple previously said. Audiophiles can also opt for the high-resolution lossless that goes up to 24 bit at 192 kHz. Apple has said you’ll need to use an external, USB digital-to-analog converter to take advantage of the latter – simply plugging in a pair of headphones to an iPhone won’t work.“
