Bummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say 'wait and see what results get published,' but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can't imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they're expected to deliver.

Better South Korea than a concentration camp, but all these headlines calling it "home" is misleading, their homes are presumably near their workplace.

Misleading title, "flown home" actually means taken "to South Korea on a chartered flight".

Use polars, or some framework that's been built with performance from the start?

I have optimized pandas notebooks before, but it seems a bit like a foundation of sand.

plus a GPU-powered drop-in accelerator, cudf.pandas, that delivers order-of-magnitude speedups with no code changes.

Don’t have a GPU on your machine? No problem—you can use cudf.pandas for free in Google Colab, where GPUs are available and the library comes pre-installed.

Ah, I see why NVIDIA is writing about it.

Ballotopedia is not so ad encrusted and has this breakdown:

Wu has said she would prioritize reducing dependence on cars. Wu has highlighted her record on public transportation, including working with the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority to eliminate slow zones, as well as increasing ridership with fare-free bus lines, installing speed humps, and using technology to reduce congestion.[9] Kraft has said he wouldn't prioritize reducing dependence on cars and instead would focus on fixing roads and sidewalks, as well as temporarily pause bike lane construction to conduct an audit on the efficiency of proposed bike lanes.[18]
