一 | Colombo, Oct 17 (UNI) A leading Sri Lankan newspaper on Monday came out strongly against a slew of taxes announced by the government, saying these will force people to commit suicide.
"Having stolen huge amounts of public wealth and bankrupted the country, the perpetrators of economic crimes, in positions of power, are now all out to recover losses at the expense of the people, who have had to pay for others’ sins by way of massive increases in tariffs and taxes," The Island said in an editorial.
"The proposed tax increases, if implemented, will drive many people to suicide," it warned. Taxes, it said, must be paid, but they must be reasonable.
"The ill-conceived tax increases that have incensed the public beyond measure make one wonder what would happen if the leaders ... were to run a dairy farm. They would slaughter all cows instead of milking them!
"In handling vital affairs of the state such as taxation, they have followed a zigzag course like drunkards over the decades; they have meddled with taxation and politicised it in such a way that state revenue has dropped drastically and the current administration has chosen to squeeze the taxpayers dry.
"The heartless tax hikes will affect everyone except politicians who are above the taxman and do not have to declare their assets. Many medium and small-scale businesses are bound to go belly up if the proposed tax increases are implemented.
The editorial pointed out that inflation in Sri Lanka has surged to more than 70 per cent and food prices have soared by over 84.6 per cent, compared to a year ago.
"The government is exploiting the public while doing nothing to curtail waste and corruption. It continues to spend huge amounts of public funds to maintain an unproductive public sector, which is inefficient, corrupt and overstaffed," it said.
"Besides, people have to maintain as many as 8,680 elected representatives — 225 MPs, 455 Provincial Councillors, and 8,000 local government members."
It said the number of MPs can be slashed, and the country does not need more than 30 per cent of the local government members.
UNI MR。 8 月 25 日消息，消息源 @hsuchingpo 昨日（8 月 24 日）在 X 平台发布推文，分享了 4 张图片，展示了苹果自研 Apple Silicon AI 服务器内部布局，采用定制 2U 机架，内部设有 4 列硬件，每列包含 8 个计算单元，整机或搭载 32 颗处理器。消息源在配图说明中称：“苹果 M5 服务器”，在网友询问这是否为苹果 Private Cloud Compute（私有云计算）硬件时，表示“大概率是”。消息源还表示该服务器需要搭配 Mac Studio（起到软件控制的作用）使用。从俯视图看，服务器采用定制的 2U（常见服务器尺寸，高度约为 8.89 厘米）机架式机箱。内部设有 4 列结构相同的硬件，每列包含 8 个较小的计算单元，合计 32 个处理器或处理器单元。
二 | 每块电路板位于对应列的外侧，散热器则位于中部；电路板两侧还配有支架，方便快速拆卸和更换。附上相关推文图片如下：照片中的部分电路板已移除散热器。其中一张照片清除了芯片表面的导热膏，露出了芯片顶部的苹果标志。报道无法确认芯片型号，只推测其可能接近 M5 Ultra（M5 Ultra 芯片）的规格。机箱中央设有连接器，连接各列硬件与贯穿整列的主控板。底板中央伸出的连接线通往机箱一端，但目前无法判断这些线缆用于供电、传输数据，还是同时承担两项任务。服务器内部结构围绕气流效率设计。每列硬件的一端配有 1 个风扇，空气从机箱前端流向后端，直接穿过中部散热器的鳍片。列结构的侧面和底板上方由透明塑料罩连接，形成封闭风道，引导气流通过散热区域。
