This has nothing to do with 5 year plans, but with having a functional and competent government enable to enact a coherent long term policy. In western countries every couple of years we elect a new clown show, which then proceeds to destro

>We should embrace any way to get a clean running car on the road. No. We should embrace the technically most feasible, which opens up new technology to the most people. EVs are the clear winners. Every cent spent on hydrogen infrastruct

When comparing EVs to hydrogen cars it is very obvious that one is the superior solution. An EV is a clear simplification of an ICE. Add a Battery and replace the mechanical complexity of a combustion engine with a relatively simple electri

I have an edition of the Nibelungenlied, which presents a modern German translation right next to a version of the original text. While the original is somewhat difficult to understand there is an amazing continuity between the two. To me t

The EU is one of the worst tech regulators in existence. The only reason they have not yet tried to ban 3D printing is because they are too tech illiterate to have heard of it. Phone batteries are already replaceable with standard tools. In

Why is the government doing this, this seems like a ridiculous waste. Here in Germany private corporations provide APIs for this. Google maps straight up tells you the price at nearby stations. Maybe the UK government should focus on things

You are correct that implementations of numerical functions in hardware differ, but I do not think you correctly understand the implications of this. >And very rarely, this kind of thing might happen naturally. It is not a question of ra

What do you mean? The developer is perfectly justified in being upset over a basic example not functioning correctly, due to bug on behalf of Apple's developers. It just wasn't reasonable to assume that the bug was due to malfunct

The hardware itself is utilized by many pieces of software on any Apple device. Face ID uses it, Siri uses it, the camera uses it, there are also other Apple on device LLM features, where you could easily test whether the basic capabilities

No it wasn't. A hardware defect so disastrous that it affects floating point computation on the neural engine, yet so minor that it does not affect any of the software on the device utilizing that hardware is exceedingly improbable. Th

Why do you think that it is a given that politicians perform better in school? Here in Germany many prominent politicians were academic failures or dropouts. We had student council elections, where the candidates were listed by degree and t

For the reasons outlined in my post I believe that it is hard to show specific causal claims which relate overuse of mobile devices and especially social media to specific problems. Although I think for some specific cases this could still

This is of course a trend in many western countries. With some, like the UK and Australia, leading the way. At this point I do not think it is reasonable to deny the harm that certain modes of social interactions over the internet have caus

Germany is rapidly deindustrializing, caused partly by high energy prices. Whenever I see a headline like this, I only see that I will soon be out of a job, together with millions, and prosperity in Europe will come to an end.
