Batterieneuheit aus China: BYD bietet lebenslange Garantie fรผr Akku mit 1000 Kilometer Reichweite Der grรถรŸte Hersteller von Elektroautos fรผhrt seine nรคchste Batteriegeneration ein. Die Technik soll auch nach Europa kommen, zusammen mit ultraschnellen Lademรถglichkeiten.

Aber das ist ja nichts gegen die deutschen Automobilhersteller die es unter dem Einsatz von mehreren Milliarden Euro an Forschungsgeldern geschafft haben, Dieselmotoren noch einmal um 0,000035 % sparsamer zu machen!

China, nehmt euch ein Beispiel daran!

Sea level much higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments - Nature Meta-analyses on a global scale show that the measured coastal mean sea level is higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments.

Gute Nachricht:
Wissenschaftler haben sich hinsichtlich des AusmaรŸes des Meeresspiegelanstiegs geirrt.

Schlechte Nachricht:
Es ist noch schlimmer, als wir dachten.

In ร–sterreich werden die Problemlรถser die gute Nachricht sicherlich verbreiten.

die ersten 5 Mรคrz-Tage waren sehr mild - der kalte Jรคnner lรคngst ausgeglichen. Das Jahr liegt derzeit um 0,9 Grad รผber dem Mittel der aktuellen Klimanormalperiode (1991-2020). Vergleichen wir mit den 30 Jahren davor sind es bereits 2,3 Grad mehr als damals. (Daten: ร–sterreich-Mittel)

Den Charakter von Menschen erkennt man am besten daran, wie sie mit sozial schlechter gestellten Personen umgehen bzw. mit Menschen von denen sie keine Vorteile zu erwarten haben.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Plug-in-Hybride sind von Anfang an ein absurdes Konzept.
Eine komplexe/Elektro) und eine sehr komplexe(Verbrenner) Technik in der selben Maschine zum selben Zweck(Antrieb) irgendwie parallel zum Laufen zu bringen, mag fรผr seltene Sonderfรคlle sinnvoll sein, beim PKW/LKW ist das purer Unsinn.

Another fascinating detail in this story*: The highest percentage of wealth donated, as calculated by Forbes researchers, is the 76% given away by George Soros**.

"firms report little impact of AI over the last 3 years, with over 80% of firms reporting no impact on either employment or productivity. Fourth, firms predict sizable impacts over the next 3 years, forecasting AI will boost productivity by 1.4%, increase output by 0.8% and cut employment by 0.7%."

The average developer salary is my new GenAI signal. If it's really about developers leveraging AI and unlocking new value, then I expect salaries to increase.

If GenAI is about increasing profit margins, then I expect the average developer salary, and headcount, to decrease over time.

Submitted 2 security issues to NuGet and GitHub last year, finally heard back that they are low priority and not a big deal.

I did manage to publish this package to NuGet. A bunch of unicode in there, but it looks genuine, right? Nobody would discover this via search because of the unicode.
