Cars can do more than 1G even without downforce. Sports car street tires commonly ~1.2g, race tires commonly ~1.5g+ High school friction is wrong. Source: various of my cars (in the past, I just have lame hybrids now) and a g meter

Max torque, not traction. That, and being able to do all wheel drive efficiently and with less weight penalty and with less risk to drivetrain parts helps the quick acceleration. But you still have to make tons of power and not be too heavy

The researchers picked by the Koch brothers (Berkely Earth Science) get the same results for temperature reconstructions guys. This stuff is real. You don't even have to do adjustments to get essentially the same trend, you can verify

Just to add to that, we know the increase in the atmosphere is mostly due to fossil fuels because that co2 source has unique isotope signatures compared to other sources like rotting plants and forest fires, and we know the basic plexiglass

F# is very similar, and has multicore. Can't compile to native yet though, I don't think.

fossil fuel industry people are somehow able to forget that they get subsidies right now every time they comment about clean tech subsidies.

A while back I did a whirlwind tour trying out different parallel looping abstractions in different languages, comparing their performance and ease of use. Rust+Rayon was one of the best. Simple code, fast runtime: https://jackm
