Comment on Tiny electric trucks are coming to a bike lane near you in ~transport
Deely (edited )Link ParentHuh, I just realized that only bikes and motorcycles have the ability to overtake any other vehicle at any time. All other vehicles like cars, buses, trams, vans, ambulances, etc. etc. just slow...hogging the bike lane with no opportunity to overtake by those whom it's meant for is not a good solution
Huh, I just realized that only bikes and motorcycles have the ability to overtake any other vehicle at any time.
All other vehicles like cars, buses, trams, vans, ambulances, etc. etc. just slow down and wait if necessary.Upd: maybe such tiny trucks-electric-bikes is a good thing in the end? Its a good reason to create more and more bike lanes across the city.

Comment on Chinese police officers will soon be on patrol in Hungary in ~news
Deely LinkMarked bold is a part that I found interesting. Please ingore if you found it unnecessary.police officers from the two countries will be able to jointly carry out patrol duties in the future, thus helping to improve communication between citizens and authorities of the two countries
As Világgazdaság points out, it is worth noting that according to the 2022 census, there were 18,154 people of Chinese nationality living in Hungary, compared to less than 10,000 ten years earlier. Estimates of their actual number are much higher. Chinese citizens living in the country typically only have Chinese citizenship.
The last two years have seen unprecedented levels of Chinese investment in Hungary. However, the agreement that has now been concluded goes far beyond the economic sphere. China is planning several billion-euro projects in Hungary, including a railroad line, factories for the e-car industry and a campus for Shanghai’s elite Fudan University. In the fall, Viktor Orbán was the only EU head of government to take part in the “Belt and Road Initiative” forum in Beijing.
Marked bold is a part that I found interesting. Please ingore if you found it unnecessary.

Deely Link ParentI undestand and agree to your points, but.. imho while we are waiting for a perfect solution, why not implement partially good solution? If it helps at least some cyclist, its already good.I undestand and agree to your points, but.. imho while we are waiting for a perfect solution, why not implement partially good solution?

Comment on Nintendo pre-announces a Switch 2 announcement is coming… eventually in ~games
Deely LinkWhile the past few months have included plenty of informed speculation about the so-called Switch 2, Nintendo hasn't given even a bare hint that the system is in the works. That changed at least somewhat last night, as Nintendo President Shinto Furukawa shared on social media that "we will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year," which ends on March 31, 2025.
In his pre-announcement announcement, Furukawa warned that an upcoming Nintendo Direct presentation planned for June would include "no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor," suggesting more information may be coming closer to the end of the fiscal year than the beginning.

Comment on MIT scraps diversity statements in faculty-hiring process in ~humanities
Deely LinkMIT will no longer require diversity statements in its faculty-hiring process, making it the first elite university to abandon the practice.
Required diversity statements have received significant criticism for making prospective faculty members pledge allegiance to diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology. These statements appear to violate principles of academic freedom and intellectual diversity in higher education by mandating adherence to progressive orthodoxy.

My points:
From technical point of view art can't be measured and quanitified. We can't say that this painting is 5% more artfull than another painting, same with movies, songs, etc.
Some group of people with more expirience (experts) decided that this painting is art, but its only a group of people. What if other group of people (also experts) decided that this painting is not so much art? This happens quite often when new style, new direction of art appears (Im not an expert and not a historian but as I remember this happened with impressionalists, modern art, pop art, etc.etc.). Also, art is not universal. I could be wrong, but I remember that some art pieces lost their art value and remain valuable only from historian perspective.
I have feeling that some art pieces should be globally recognized as art, but again, we can't quantify value of these pieces..

'Dozens insiders' speaks not about The Rock behavior, they speaks about:...more than a dozen insiders directly involved in the project, the “Red One” production was a perfect storm of problems compounded by the inexperience of the film’s lead producer Hiram Garcia of Seven Bucks Productions and Amazon MGM feature and production executives Julie Rapaport and Glenn Gainor, who are overseeing the project.

Comment on What if we discover the answers of the Universe, eliminate cancer, halt aging. What's next? in ~humanities
Deely LinkI believe after doing this we will get more and more mysteries and questions to answer. I do not know if this true, but I like/believe in this quote from Douglas Adams:I believe after doing this we will get more and more mysteries and questions to answer.
I do not know if this true, but I like/believe in this quote from Douglas Adams:There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened. -

Comment on Zilog discontinues production of original Z80 processor after 48 years in ~tech
Deely LinkFrom https://hackaday.com/2024/04/19/end-of-life-for-z80-cpu-and-peripherals-announced/ From wiki:From https://hackaday.com/2024/04/19/end-of-life-for-z80-cpu-and-peripherals-announced/
This does not mean that it’s the end of the road for Z80, however, as the eZ80 will be produced for the foreseeable future.
From wiki:
The Zilog eZ80 is an 8-bit microprocessor from Zilog, introduced in 2001. eZ80 is an updated version of the company's first product, the Z80 microprocessor. The eZ80 (like the Z380) is binary compatible with the Z80 and Z180, but almost three times as fast as the original Z80 chip at the same clock frequency.
So, basically what we need is a personal video DRM. Or something like blackboxed police body cams without possibility to alter the video.
Or maybe something like separate certified camera module with "write-once" memory.
