The current UK government are on their last legs - the overwhelming majority of the public don't trust them and we're now on our second unelected Prime Minister. IMO, they're just trying to get through the things they want in

Yes and no, CBDCs can still lead to debt driven economies. If they 'print'/'mint'/'whatever' only X 'coins' they never give them away. They 'lend' them and the chain of lending mea

Yea, I agree with you on this. It just sucks when the options available involve trying to guess which candidates are the 'lesser evil' rather than the 'greater good'. But to dig down into the point, if it is to avoid &#x

ULEZ did improve air quality in central London - owing to the large concentration of cars. I'd say probably strong incentives for non-gas vehicles helped also (exemptions from Congestion Charge, reduced parking fees in certain boroughs

IT admins have only themselves to blame for choosing Teams in the first place. Yes, it is included in O365 and it makes it a no-brainer as far as additional costs and things go. But then there's the risk that Microsoft leverage their c

Much the same experience as you. Making RL work is more like a marathon than a sprint and requires patience and bouts of inspiration. All this tells me is there’s more room for improvement in the algorithms. BTW: I’m really glad more resear

The asking rent chart shows its been flat for the last 2+ years with only a bump before the pandemic. Is this a case also of landlords not being realistic? I do think plenty of startups would love an 'office' but the costs are qui

As an aside, I love ONNX and the main reason I'm sticking with PyTorch. I was able to develop and train an RL model in Python and then convert it to ONNX and call it from C# production code. It still took a lot of effort but the final

Not going to help so much - probably the biggest reason Google didn't launch its own ChatGPT first was because it was protecting its search and ads business and not wanting to upset the order that underpinned its revenues.
