One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives
My only experience with a car that had lane-keeping assist was that the car actively tried to kill me by steering me into oncoming traffic.
That car also thought I was sleeping when I wore sunglasses and again tried to kill me by scaring me with the loudest beep to 'wake me up' again.
If that is how well this tech works it is not adding any safety. Quite the opposite actually.
I also really started to wonder how bad the government ageny that tests these cars operates to certify this safety risk on wheels.

How to live in the age of AI
Reply in thread
In my line of work I have to say that constantly.
Can you add that button? Should be easy, maybe by tomorrow? -> Nope, we will need 3 million backend changes; maybe in 6 months.
Edit: WTF really?! Just fucking use AI to do it. -> Nope. AI can't do it and even if it can you will just create a bunch of technical debt.

Vermögenssteuer in Deutschland? Brauchen wir, na klar! | ver.di [2026-01-13]

Es geht ja auch garnicht um die Leute die ihre 2-3 Immobilien haben.
Es geht um die Leute denen eine Hotelkette gehört, denen mehrere Supermärkte gehören, denen ein Unternehmen mit über 100 Mitarbeitern gehört, denen mehrere große Mehrfamilienhäuser gehören usw.

The long game
Actually the trigger for Valve to build a focus on Linux was that Microsoft was planning to lock down Windows so that only apps from the Microsoft Store could be installed. If Microsoft woul have went through with that, it would have killed Steam.

You know if you invest all your winnings into all the companies that buy your stuff so that they can buy more of your stuff, you are actually not generating any winnings.

Clock logic
The numbers on the clock actually make a lot of sense.
12, 24 and 60 are highly composite numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_composite_number).
Imagine using numbers in a world where most people have no real understanding of fractions.
That is also the reason why you see the same or similar numbers as common screen refresh rates. 24, 48, 60, 120 and 240.
The 12 hour clockface design is that way because it is a similar design to that of a sundial, so people did not need to learn a new way to read the time. This also meant that for readibility reasons it was beneficial to only have 12 numbers.

I think it is more the UK which appears weak for coming crawling back to the EU.

Trump reportedly called Norwegian minister ‘out of the blue’ to ask about Nobel prize
The Nobel Peace Prize has famously gone to some of the worst individuals on the planet. So I guess it would be fitting for Trump to get one.
