Context is king which is why even the biggest models get tied in knots when I try them on my niche coding problems. I've been playing a bit with NotebookLM which promises to be interesting with enough reference material but unfortunately when I tried to add the Vulcan specs it complained it couldn't accept them (copyright maybe?).

We have recently been given clearance to use the Gemini Pro tools with Google office at work. While we are still not using them for code generation I have found the transcription and meeting summary tools very useful and certainly a time saver.

A corrupted Mrs Davies?

You need to pair 1984 with Huxley's Brave New World to see where we actually ended up.

It didn't work out for Littlefinger in the end.

It's a bit he did for Last Week Tonight if I remember correctly. Definitely post watershed.

China have some very big cities and the pollution alone has been causing lots of health related problems. They have an incentive to migrate to EV's on those grounds alone.

The target doesn't mean nothing happens until then. Car dealerships in the UK have a maximum quota of ICE cars they can sell before being hit with additional costs. That quota is decreasing over time until we reach the "ban" date.

I used to think about it a lot when I was younger because it seemed so unfair that life comes to an end. As I've gotten older (and closer to the inevitable) I think about it less. Hopefully you'll get to the point you realise worrying about something you can't change isn't productive use of the time you have left. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can to eat well, keep fit and put off that final reckoning as much as you can.

I don't think Google drive supports encryption.

Your build artefacts will already be in RAM as the kernel will utilise any spare for the block cache. The block cache is evicted using a least recently used (LRU) basis when the system is under memory pressure. Using ram based filesystems is basically bypassing the kernel and reducing it's flexibility to make the best use of spare RAM in the system.

To be fair those aren't bad choices. I would certainly recommend the Shawshank redemption, I've seen it many times and it hasn't gotten old.
