So are they really mammals?

400 chargers. Wow!

The UK installed "388 slow, 756 fast, and 114 rapid and 236 ultra-rapid" chargers last month. Granted, that's across all networks, but 400 shouldn't be worthy of mention for a country the size of the US.

Noob

So this was going to happen anyway?

Sounds like it, so it'll be part of the already planned spending.

I hope there's more reasons than just getting objective advice. £⅔B is a lot of money.

So in your head, people are rich because they throw away their money?

Nothing says "cheap" more than clothes which are pretending to be expensive. If you're going to dress up, wear your better clothes that are in your normal style.

Personally I wouldn't bother. Just wear what you normally wear. Not everyone is interested in clothes even if they have money.

If I take a sabbatical from my career and go work for a charity, I'm still taking a year off from my original job. What you do with the time is irrelevant to the language used.

Should people get parental leave? ... absolutely. Is it "time off" from your job? ... Yes. Are they taking a holiday? ... No.

The animation is smoother but actions have a longer response time. Depending on the game that could be negative to your perception of "speed".

If 20mph zones were limited to specific areas I think they'd be better received. Richmond borough has made 20mph the default speed limit with exceptions for the top tier major roads (those with A numbers plus possibly a couple more).

It's not even like it's a borough with good (for London) public transport. Everything is busses.

No, the games runs at the same rate or slightly slower. The driver adds extra frames which the game knows nothing about.

Do gamers actually want technologies like these? Upscaling makes sense to me, but frame generation just seems like it would increase lag and give visual information that isn't reliable.

Oh you missed because your enemy wasn't where the AI predicted he would be.

Hard disagree. We can all survive without data centres. The transition from having them, to not having them is chaotic (as crowdstrike showed), but I think 99% of us would benefit from our financial / credit records being wiped out.

Federal regulators are conspicuously absent in stopping this live experimentation on public roads with live humans.

Why has this been allowed for so long?

Part of it might be that I'm often having similar arguments with the team I run about introducing dependencies.

Engineers have a tendency to want to use the perfect tool for a job at the expense of other concerns. It could be ease of maintenance, availability of the skill-set, user experience, or whatever. If there's pushback it's normally that they are putting their own priorities above other people's equally valid concerns.

Often I'm telling people to step-back. Stop pushing, listen to the resistance and learn from it. Maybe I'm on a bit of a crusade when I see similar situations in open-source.

That's where I assumed it was going.

Unlikely. You probably will injest the poison and die, and depending on if the poison also acts as a venom they may / may not.

It's probably more accurate to say "Venoms are injected. Poisons are injested. "

That's where they are right now.

Right, but I think what's different on the GPU side is that the idea "nVidia make the best GPUs" has permiated through the whole market. And it's true. Nothing touches a 4090.

A lot of buyers want to buy a 4090, can't afford it and so move down the Nvidia product line until the reach one they can afford. They don't consider other brands because "nVidia make the best GPUs" even if another brand might get them more bang for their buck now they are shopping lower in the product stack.

A halo product isn't there to sell itself. It's there to sell the rest of the range.

Maybe we're agreeing. I'm not sure.

I think for python tooling the choice is Python Vs Rust. C isn't in the mix either.

people like and want to program in rust

I think there's a survivor bias going on here. Those that have tried rust and stuck with it, they also like it. Far more people in the python community haven't tried it, or have and not stuck with it. I like and want to program Haskell. I'm not going to write python tools in it because the community won't appreciate it.

Tools should be maintained by those that use them. Python doesn't want to rely on the portion of the venn diagram that are rust and python users because that pool of people is much smaller.

Polaris remains one of the most popular AMD dGPUs to this day.

That's not a high bar. AMD haven't really had a big hit GPU since they shifted to GCN. RDNA was looking to be revival, but hasn't really been competitive enough to shift the consumer mindset.

Those languages bring different things though:

• Python is the language the tool is for

• C is the implementation language of Python and is always going to be there.

• Cython is a very similar language to Python and designed to be very familiar to Python writers.

• Fortran is the language that BLAS and similar libraries were historically implemented in since the 70s. Nobody in the python community has to write Fortran today. Those libraries are wrapped.

• Rust is none of the above. Bringing it into the mix adds a new barrier.
