There is no context and nothing specific, as the headline makes it seem. He is just putting out phrases in an interview:

“Wars develop in phases,” Stoltenberg said […]

“We have to support Ukraine in both good and bad times,” he said.

"We should also be prepared for bad news,” Stoltenberg added […]

[…] Stoltenberg said. “The more we support the Ukraine, the faster the war will end."

I feel the very specific community topic split is already affecting Lemmy negatively. So I think having larger, broader community topics (e.g. ‘commuting’ instead of a community for every single option to commute by itself), with more diverse content, interaction and of course more visible activity, would also attract new users.

Right now some communities are so specific, that by its creation, it’s a filter bubble by design. And then of course you don’t get a lot of content or interaction, as only yea-sayer get accepted.

Interaction requires different approaches, opinions, options and of course people who upvote them even when disagreeing. The reply box is the correct option when disagreeing, not the downvote. That’s how Lemmy will sprout.

tl;dr Broader community topics for larger, more diverse and more active communities

Hm das sehe ich als jein. Ich meine du musst ja eh jederzeit wissen wie schnell du fährst, nicht nur vor Schulen. Du schaust ja regelmäßig in Rotation alles durch. Spiegel, weit voraus, Nahbereich, Tacho etc. Und selbst ohne so ein interaktives Schild: Sobald irgendwo “30 Kindergarten” aufgestellt ist, fahre ich auch eher 29 auf dem Tacho (~27 km/h). Da entsteht durch die geringe Geschwindigkeit auch viel mehr Zeit für die Blick-Rotation und etwaige Reaktionen auf Geschehnisse.

Umgekehrt muss ich aber auch eingestehen bei “30 Lärmschutz” habe ich eher 36 auf dem Tacho (~33 km/h), da ich aber hier einen Gang (3.) höher fahren kann und es leiser wird. Darunter müsste einen Gang (2.) tiefer, wodurch ich zwar die 30 einhalten würde aber mehr Lärm erzeuge.

Die Teile sind genial. So ein “Danke” oder Smiley-Schild sehe ich als Mini-Game auf der Straße. Wie viele kann ich auf einer Fahrt sammeln?

Da könnte ich mir durchaus eine App vorstellen, die nach vorne solche Schilder scannt und eine persönliche Statistik mit Highscore führt.

Einzig die falsch eingestellten Schilder stören. Sprich mein Tacho zeigt ca. 7% mehr als die GPS-Geschwindigkeit. 50 erlaubt, Tacho zeigt 51 (also ca. 47 km/h) und das Schild zeigt mir “53 - zu schnell”. Also einfach mal 6 km/h mehr als ich tatsächlich fahre. Da trübt das Mini-Game etwas.

This post is obviously not meant serious.

To the right of the damaged section we can see a thread indicator, so there is maybe around 1 mm thread on the right shoulder. Therefore the centre part was below legal limits.

Before changing tyres, the owner of that bike decided to kill off the old tyre completely by doing a burnout. We can see the flat centre piece all around on the tyre, typical for a burnout.

In the 1st paragraph is a link to the previous article of the same experiment a few months ago, that has some more details mentioned:

researchers have managed to release 2.5 MJ of energy after using just 2.1 MJ to heat the fuel with lasers.

the positive energy gain reported ignores the 500MJ of energy that was put into the lasers themselves.

I get that it’s not ideal. My issue is just that a big part of Cities Skylines is to solve the traffic. Try to keep it flowing with a more and more complex city around it, changing main routes, changing infrastructure options. You cannot just make it Smart iTraffic 3D without removing the major challenge from the game. Fixing some bugs and not having traffic that dumb like in the 1st game would be appreciated though.

The term ‘AI’ just gets used way too loosely, only getting worse in the recent months. ‘Traffic’ and ‘AI’ in Cities Skylines just doesn’t fit together well.

Remember the time when every server space suddenly got called ‘cloud’? Or when every device needed to be ‘3D’? Or every household item got Bluetooth to make it a ‘smart’ item? Or you needed the word ‘crypto’ included your software products? Or when all the products had a lower case ‘i’ in front to make them look advanced?

In a few months we’ll look back at the time a the time, when everyone suddenly called their algorithms an ‘AI’. Paradox could just call it Smart iTraffic 3D to hit more buttons.

Judging from the 1st game, it’s probably mods and player ingenuity to solve the issues with the traffic. Which his honestly a part of the experience of playing Cities Skylines. Getting around all the problems with your own solutions. Sometimes I completely (had to) redesigned parts of the city to solve one junction.

The difference is that we are talking about mobile phones and tablets here. A manufacturer can easily argue his device is intended for water immersion or intended to be washable. And the exception is fulfilled.

I mean they don’t really have to argue to begin with, they just keep selling their IP-rated phones as they are. Only if someone starts a motion that this would not be legal, then they can start the argument I mentioned above. And that’s all it takes.

One article about that topic that finally mentions it: There is a descriptive sentence is the resolution that exempts devices with water proofing from it.

As I saw in the past, there were lots of hype posts and what manufacturer X, Y or Z is going to do now. Most of the high-end phones already have an IP-rating, haven’t they? Well, there is the answer. They just keep what they have been selling and it already complies with this new resolution.

It’s the radar, lidar, cameras only story that’s coming up every few months for the last years. A few years ago Tesla went cameras only to save money, assuming it would be good enough. Other manufacturers/cars have a higher certification for autonomous driving but they are also using more sensors than just cameras.

To give an insight how it looks outside of the US/in Europe:

Amazon does not (or cannot) tell the contractors what the drivers should wear or how the vehicles look. Usually it’s a plain white van, sometimes even a rental company logo on its side. The drivers just wear whatever they found in their closet.

So it’s way more visual that they are working for a contractor logistics company and not employed by Amazon.

Well now they have to take over the subs and get new moderators. They won’t just sit there and watch Reddit burn further.

For the 2 days private protest, their comment that it will be over soon was appropriate. As giving an exact time frame allows to know the exact end of it. They could just sit there and wait it out.

Now with the indefinite protest, they have to act. And to get to content onto Reddit again, they will probably be looking for new unpaid strike breakers mods for those subs, so they don’t have to actually hire and pay people to moderate content on their soon publicly traded company website.

I just tried it and no account required (yet?). Uploading works fine.
