The weird thing is that a lot of christians (including the Catholic church) affirm that God "the Father" has actually no gender.

He is circumcised according to Luke gospel, so the dick biblically accurate.

"After a careful evaluation of our cost structure we have arrived at the round number that everyone is using for their layoff: 10%."

Being a business leader must be so exhausting.

I don't understand why cars don't have a secondary sound warning system that make no more noise than a bike bell. Use the honk when there is immediate danger and the bell when you want to gently advertise your presence. Buses have this why not cars?

A way to fool anti repost filters maybe.

French pronounce the "ou" as is "tour". But you do you.

They make the grace arm cpu to pair with hopper GPU instead of AMD epyc and Intel xeon in data center products. They released a first version that replace these processors in their data center offering (formerly dgx). This is the announcement of the next generation of this offering Vera-Rubin will replace Grace-Hopper.

I don't think they have announced anything about bringing this offering to the consumer space.

Hbomberguy has a 3,5 hours one about why Deus ex human revolution is okish and the original great. So spoiler for human revolution, but if you played both it will definitely scratch that itch:

I have no experience about what you are trying to achieve, but rdma and related technologies (infiniband, qlogic, sr-iov, ROCE) is not it. These are network technologies that permit high bandwidth/low latency data transfer between hosts. Most of these bypass the IP stack entirely.

Infiniband is a network stack that enable RDMA, it's only vendor is now NVIDIA which acquired mellanox. Qlogic was another vendor, but it got acquired by Intel that tried to market it as Omnipath, but it was spinned off to Cornelis network.

Sr-iov is a way to share an infiniband card to a virtual machine on the same host.

ROCE is an implementation of the rdma software stack over ethernet instead of infiniband.

I really like both of them. Pacing is maybe a bit weaker, but the worlds building is wonderful, character development is great, I really wanted to know what was next.

English weirdly use feminine for ships, so think of it like that. But no it doesn't achieve much.

I don't think it change the way we think about objects much, but probably unconsciously yes. For example, France itself is feminine and seeing some caricature personifying as a dude always feels weird.

Usage dictates the gender. And some recent words are more or less controversial: gameboy, wifi, COVID, Nutella...

When I think about the gender of a word I will usually derive it from a broader category. But that's not always obvious, for example Gameboy is a game console (feminine) but the words game and boy are masculine. COVID is a disease (feminine) but also a virus (masculine). And in the meme a washing machine is a machine (feminine).

You can't not use gender since french doesn't have neutral pronouns. But I don't think it's frowned upon for a non native speaker to make this kind of mistakes.
