AWS does not use the exact same authn/authz/identity model or terminology as other providers, and for people familiar with other models, it's pretty non-trivial to adapt to. I recently posted a rant about this to https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/1geczoz/the_aws_iam_id...
Personally I am more familiar with directly using API keys or auth tokens than AWS's IAM users (which are more similar to what I'd call "service accounts").
If you're already in the AWS ecosystem or have worked in it, it's no problem. If you're used to "make OpenAI account, add credit card, copy/paste API key" it can be a bit daunting.
Except you can't, because it will just misundertand you or say something hopelessly generic.
Even asking it something on the same page that it's advertised 'now supports asking about' completely failed for me - think it was ENIs or something; just said something completely generic, not at all about the instances I'd asked about which it advertised being able to do (and I happened to have a concurrent need for).
The amount of cyanide affects its ability to be used as a weapon. Almonds have cyanide. They're a very ineffective weapon, unless you hurl a sack of them at an opponent like a mace maybe.
Silk is a defensive weapon. Or, maybe silk cords power bows or Ballista?
If you want your writing to be taken as establishing facts, you need to base it on a priori established facts; if you base it on hypotheses and beliefs then you're just expanding on the hypothesis, contributing further belief.
I suspect though that it's not the author's beliefs, just an ambiguously written way of saying that it was done by those people with that belief - in the same way that an atheist or follower of some other religion may say that Christians pray in order to communicate their wishes to God. Of course there is the rude and angry for no clear reason brand of atheist who could never bring themselves to say such a thing, but to the rest of us there is no problem in describing someone else's actions by their own reasons for doing them, even if we don't share that motivation. I have colleagues who run for pleasure; though I do not for mine.
> It just means wild apple trees, not a cultivated variety.
"Wild" apples are Malus sylvestris or just feral domestic apples Malus domestica.
Crabapples comprise the rest (>30 different species) of apples and its hybrids. Malus florida from Japan is famous for its glorious blossom for example. Malus sieboldi from China or Malus bacatta from Siberia are also crabapples. Some are true to seed, but other aren't and there are many cultivars selected by blossom or fruit display.
There are some crabapples cultured specifically for culinary purposes, like Golden Hornet that bear heavy amounts of small yellow fruits. Very good for compote and jelly.
I can't suggest a book on it, but I think there's nothing wrong with just finding them through recommendations. If that's not happening organically, then there's:
1) recommendations/references in books you've read and liked
2) other books by an author you've read and liked
3) other books in a series (be it a novel, or some set of technical books on a particular theme for example) you've read one of and liked
Toronto skyline is often apparent in 'New York' scenes, in many productions, Suits for example. It's like they think only NYC will be recognisable (formerly the twin towers, ESB, statue of liberty, etc.) so any view of Toronto can just sub in for an anonymous bit of NYC. (Except perhaps the CN tower, haven't seen anything that stupid!)
This was the source of humour in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" S2E3 where Kirk stands in Sankofa Square in front of a large sign emblazoned "Toronto Eaton Centre" and asks "Are we in New York City?"
Lots of film production goes on in Toronto, I especially love how Roy Thompson Hall always shows up in anything vaguely sci-fi. Vaught headquarters in The Boys, U.N. headquarters in The Expanse, it was even in the background of a few scenes of The Handmaid's Tale.
"The Ontario Film & Television Tax Credit is a 35% refundable tax credit on Ontario labour for film and television productions by Ontario-based Canadian controlled companies for productions shot in Toronto, Ontario."
Same general reason why a lot of film/tv production is done in the state of GA now, which decided to compete with California, Vancouver and Toronto to attract productions.
I'm not saying they should film in NY, I meant the lack of care to use less recognisable bits or remove them digitally etc. - that they think 'we can't film in NYC, people will recognise it, and this isn't set in NYC' - not that they were trying to film NYC and should do it in NYC. (But I realise now I made that confusing with the Suits example.)
Vancouver filming in the 1990s was worse, there's a Jackie Chan movie supposedly set in NYC where you can see a clear view of the snow capped north shore mountains across the water.
The 'new' Vancouver Public Library also serves as the headquarters of an evil human cloning corporation in "The 6th Day", and is seen in Battlestar Galactica.
