What we have now, a load of different people developing a load of new (better!) tools, is surely what the PyPA had in mind when they developed their tooling standards. This is all going to plan. We've gotten new features and huge speedups far quicker this way.
I don't like changing out and learning new tools constantly, but if this is the cost of the recent rapid tooling improvements then it's a great price.
And best of all, it's entirely optional. You can even install it other ways. What exactly was your point here?
> This SoC has a 1.4 GHz, quad core P550 cluster with 4 MB of shared cache. The EIC7700X is manufactured on TSMC’s 12nm FFC process
> Next up is TSMC’s 12 nm FFC manufacturing technology, which is an optimized version of the company’s CLN16FFC that is set to use 6T libraries (as opposed to 7.5T and 9T libraries) providing a 20% area reduction. Despite noticeably higher transistor density, the CLN12FFC is expected to also offer a 10% frequency improvement at the same power and complexity or a 25% power reduction at the same clock rate and complexity.
They optimised for density and power, not frequency. A lot of the benefit they're claiming comes just from this.
I think the large software sector here might actually be part of the problem. If you're smart, want to stay in London (expensive), but don't want to work in finance then it's going to be software. There's no interesting hardware jobs here (FPGA trading platforms do not qualify). These jobs do exist in other European countries so I think the parent was correct.
I don't disagree with anything in particular here but I'm not sure your latter paragraphs do anything to explain why Germany is different. Or are you saying it's also institutional inertia and it's just a matter of time for them to end up the same?
>Or are you saying it's also institutional inertia and it's just a matter of time for them to end up the same?
Exactly. Britain has lost its industry long ago, while Germany did not. The situation right now is different, but I do not believe the trajectory is.
Especially when it comes to software, even the largest corporations in Germany just outsource to India. And justifying hiring people for 2x/3x//4x the cost at "home" becomes increasingly hard.
I'm a British-American hardware engineer, I've lived in the UK nearly all my life. I've a home, and a family with kids here, I'm very settled. I've had plenty opportunity to move to the US, even before I had a family (with my current employer or under my own steam as a citizen) and I've no interest. I visit the US every few years and by the end of the trip I'm very much done with it all. Other than the much larger job market, I don't think there's a single US thing I want. Everything we have here is either better, or I'm sufficiently used to it. American is an unappealing place to live for many social reasons, I'd much rather move to France or Germany if I had to leave (and wasn't worried about the language barriers).
> To my knowledge, any switch OEM producing Broadcom-based gear will get their NDAs and silicon access revoked if they so much as dream about making devices with non-Broadcom silicon.
Nokia use Broadcom silicon for low-end, in-house for the rest.
But you can have Obsidian access from any device already if you easily setup syncing using the official method (and support the project by doing so) or one of the community plugins. Doing it this normal way avoids opening up a massive security hole too.
* any device you have admin rights to install software on, they are talking about being able to log in from any computer, not just their own
It surprises and annoys me that obsidian, logseq, etc don't have self hosted web front ends available. I think logseq will once they wrap up the db fork, and maybe someday we'll have nuclear fusion powerplants too.
> AI is already being used across the UK. It is being used in hospitals up and down the country to deliver better, faster, and smarter care: spotting pain levels for people who can’t speak, diagnosing breast cancer quicker, and getting people discharged quicker. This is already helping deliver the government’s mission to build an NHS fit for the future.
I find this really hard to believe. My brother, who is a practising ward doctor by trade with almost zero software experience, recently did a sabbatical related to cleaning patient notes data for use in training. He said it was a hopeless mess and they had absolutely nothing. The work he did went nowhere. I appreciate the hospital trusts are different and isolated in some respects, but the idea they're doing anything with AI is a joke when they can't even do the basics (as anyone who's used NHS digital services will testify to).
Does anyone have any experience that actually agrees with this press release?
