It's still a new code base and one that can access hardware so it's understandable that people would be nervous.

At the very least it should probably be something that has to be enabled in settings. And maybe it does I haven't looked into it. There are too many examples of security vulnerabilities that can bypass permissions. That's what the grandparents is worried about

Err no, objectively not. Xilinx has more than 50% market share across the entire FPGA market. Intel/Altera are sub 30%

Please don't generalise. Chinese EVs are the most advanced in many areas but they are not the most efficient. Quite the opposite actually, they are focusing in other areas including in battery tech that improves safety and charging speed at the expense of weight and charge density. Their designs are not favouring aerodynamics and their push from range is largely the effort of cramming more battery in.

If you look to Europe you'll find plenty of Chinese EVs tested. They barely rank in the top 10 in terms of efficiency. In fact in this market the Tesla 3 comes out very favourably right behind Mercedes.

I hope Americans who assuming the outside world doesn't exist, and people like you who blindly worship the outside world without looking anything up can meet somewhere in the middle and find sanity.

We have infrastructure in place to deal with cars that are unable to use any controls, it's a case that occurs with many cars in an accident. Also the existence of controls does not help. In virtually all modern cars the parking brake system is computer controlled, failure of a computer to respond means you can't simply roll the car on a flatbed as well. Also EVs, flat batteries result in the parking brake engaging there so also non-trivial to deal with - none the less we deal with it just fine.

That's not to say your concerns aren't real, but they are a mixture of managed and low enough risk to not be something to lose sleep over.

The ads I have seen say "only in cinemas". Is that no the case?

I only looked up their names and checked their background on linked in.

Sorry but this has nothing to do with Iran. The trend for wind and solar has been moving this way steady for years before anyone knew where on the map the Strait of Hormuz was. Sure it's not negative, but at best it cements something that that people were already doing.

From an immediate switch is billionaires want to be in control of the energy supply so they are slowing the transition in order to make sure that they control the solar farms and the wind farms and you have to go to them to get electricity still just like you did when they controlled the coal mines and the oil wells. This is acceptable because the alternative is to make energy production publicly owned and people really really really really hate public utilities and the concept of just having something that we all benefit from. It doesn't feel Fair because they can't own it.

Also it's hard to explain to people that just because you won't let Elon Musk own the electric grid doesn't mean somebody is going to snatch your car and your toothbrush... It's really hard to get people to grasp any level of nuance. It doesn't help that 60% of them read at the level of a 12-year-old...

I think they are expecting it to dry more on streaming, and just want the prestige of it being a "real" movie, not a made for TV one. No need to spend money on ads, it costs nothing to promote in the app when the time comes.

Being put in the theaters. They did this with the Star wars 3D cartoon back in the day. The one with a young ahsoka.

Basically it's streaming content they're putting in the theaters. It wasn't so bad when they did it with Ahsoka because they made kind of a fun event and did stuff like got the guys who dress up as Stormtroopers to show up at movie theaters. This one seems kind of cheap like they're not putting anything behind it... It feels like the windows millennium of Star wars releases where they just wanted something in the theaters so the public doesn't forget that Star wars exists and that you can see it in movie theaters.

Fun fact, to get to net zero the UK needs to dedicate a bit less than all the land currently used for golf courses to solar.

Just sayin'.

Proven ability from a list of game credits goes a long way in the industry. The job is more to do with knowing how to get stuff done effectively, and dealing with collaboration issues, than about raw talent.

You just rip the dummy out of the driver's seat and use the mounting pole like a joystick /s

Seriously though, it's probably manually drivable via app or wireless controller.

I'd much rather spend my pre coffee half awake time in work, then have the best hours for myself.

You are right, they did get a dual input warning, but for some reason ignored it.
