Renewable energy is sooooo fickle and will never cover the needs of the country…

Just found this lovely headline again - from March 2016.

Just a reminder that #AI did not just emerge to take your jobs recently...

Oh #Arsenal 😑

“researchers are now describing the first clearly documented example ‌of a group of wild chimpanzees splitting into two separate factions, with one launching a series of coordinated attacks against the other.“

Any similarities to US society are purely coincidental.

Pendlerpauschale erhöhen ist als ob man nur die Fett- und zuckerhaltigen Speisen subventionieren würde, weil Essen teuer ist.

Just a friendly reminder:
The City of London ≠ London

The City of London, which indeed has impressive cycling stats, is a square mile business district in London with few residents.

It still should. Not just in undergrad, but in all areas.

It is not acceptable to cite an LLM, just as it isn’t acceptable to cite a search engine.

Road deaths in Southern US are worse than most any country in the world. Yes, worse than most countries in Africa or Asia.

The @economist.com’s article focuses on the psychological damage to those who kill, and their Fellowship, but crassly dismisses the core issue (“If American roads were safer…”)

Wegen hoher Spritpreise boomen gebrauchte E-Autos Die hohen Spritpreise machen gebrauchte E-Autos zurzeit attraktiv. Immer mehr Pendler und Autofahrer denken darüber nach, auf ein Elektroauto umzusteigen. Von Anne-Catherine Beck.

Ist immer wieder wie kurzfristig Menschen entscheiden, wenn es um die (oft( zweitgrösste Anschaffung geht. Genau dasselbe E-Auto war vor sechs Monaten genauso viel dem Benziner überlegen.

Is that a bubble deflating we hear? Massive impact on Mag7, too.

The “negligence” of pedestrians and bicyclists, as contributing to “accidents”, “nicking them, or perhaps crushing their legs”… meaning that drivers will gave to “live with the consequences”…

Every part of this is just vile victim-shaming, designed to minimise the fault in vehicular manslaughter.

Lass uns vielleicht mal mit Tempolimit 180 oder 160 anfangen…. Das müsste doch machbar sein 🤔

Wherein we discover it’s our human imperfections that make us superior…

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Remember when CNN actually mattered?

26 storey skyscrapers to rear pigs for slaughter

They look not much different than any high-rise in any Financial Centre.

With similar throughput.

So… Uber invests in Rivian. Volkswagen already holds an investment in #Rivian. Uber has partnered with VW’s #MOIA for #autonomous vehicles in LA. Uber wants Rivian vehicles for #autonomous services. How will VW use Rivian tech……

The ball is under the cup. The cups are being shifted…

Owner’s previous vehicle was likely a Pontiac Aztec.

Why are U.S. traffic deaths increasing again?

"As with gun violence, [traffic fatalities] is a uniquely American problem not shared by the country’s global peers."

"In the U.S., the rate of vehicular death is more than 4Xs higher than it is in Britain & Germany"

Sadiq Khan urges Labour to campaign on rejoining EU at next election Mayor of London says returning to EU now more desirable because of economic instability caused by Donald Trump

The promise of common sense, growth, and a spirit of collaboration have reentered the chat.

It’s rather amusing when you encounter people of - let’s say - middle age, who are riding an underground train for the first time.

In their lives.

Sony Has 'No Information' on the Fate of the Afeela Project After Honda's EV Pullback Sony Honda Mobility says that both Sony and Honda "will hold discussions" on how Honda's EV exit affects the Afeela 1 sedan.

Although a partnership between home electronics and an OEM seemed promising, Afeela was an expensive blunder that gathered a lot of irrational attention at (multiple) CES. Park the project and count the loss.

What an incredible amount for an independent Board to award its CEO.

Oh… Brin and Page have 56% and “super-voting” shares? Well…

For insights on where #autonomous #mobility is headed, watch these 12min with Alex Kendall (CEO, @wayveai.bsky.social). Notable: addressing the “whole” market by licensing software to “any” OEM.

It’s also, quite simply, an excellent interview by @bloomberg.com
