China’s 🇨🇳 dominance in EVs supports its rise as world’s top auto exporter 🚙🔋

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning: "For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles." Well worth your time: economist.com/interactive/un…

Shocking article by Rachel Hewitt reflecting on the horrific case of Gisèle Pélicot. Gisele was drugged by her husband and, over a decade of abuse, was raped by over 90 men, recruited from a website. Rachel and Caroline Criado Perez are demanding more men highlight and talk about

This is a huge step in the right direction — and long overdue. The Federal Motor Safety Standards have real teeth. If this rule comes into effect, carmakers will finally have to address how car bloat endangers pedestrians. apnews.com/article/us-ped…

Finally, the Biden administration is taking a stand against car bloat. nhtsagov has proposed banning SUV & pickup hood designs that are especially likely to cause head injuries. In Fast Company, I explained why this could be a watershed moment. 🧵 fastcompany.com/91195993/car-b…

Hard to overstate how much of an improvement speed cameras are compared to police issuing tickets. Speed cameras are *way* more fair -- and also more reliable. theconversation.com/police-stop-mo…

🚗What's happening to Europe's car industry is one of the biggest stories in the world right now, & prob the biggest story of next year too. A slow motion implosion driven by multiple factors (esp Chinese competition). Watch my primer on what's going on👇

The rise of #AI demands faster processors and greater data bandwidth. Optical systems are key, with researchers projecting high-capacity photonic chips to reach 16 Tbps commercially in a decade and 400 Tbps in research. ww2.aip.org/scilights/disc… #Photonics

Joe Rogan Podcast News Tbh, there are quite a few reasons why using female crash test would improve safety for female passengers and drivers: x.com/i/grok/share/W…

What can AI researchers do *today* that AI developers will find useful for ensuring the safety of future advanced AI systems? To ring in the new year, the Anthropic Alignment Science team is sharing some thoughts on research directions we think are important.

Bizarre though it may sound... the Senate confirmation hearing for Secretary of Transport nominee Sean Duffy was a refreshing bi-partisan affair with no posturing, no drama, and open alignment on key matters. Even Chairman Senator Ted Cruz was as convivial and cordial as I have ever

Women are 17% more likely to be killed in auto crashes than men. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Our bill will update crash test dummy standards, saving thousands of lives & preventing thousands more serious injuries. fischer.senate.gov/public/index.c…

All benchmarks now confirm it: Deepseek is truly is as good as OpenAI's o1 (which is top of the range) for 3% of the price. Boom. And that's when you want to pay for the API. You can also use it Open Source for "free" (which you can't do with o1). There's no overstating how

This is arguably just as big of a story as DeepSeek - if not bigger. Humanity continues to inch forward toward nuclear fusion power, and China is setting the pace for this segment of next-gen sci-fy technology as well. phys.org/news/2025-01-c…

Imagine you can wear sensors! ⌚️ Researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University have developed a novel method for creating flexible wearable sensors by precisely printing stretchable conductive inks and placing electronic components. Soft sensors detect movement by

Humanoids, everywhere humanoids! 🤯 I reviewed a report from ARK Invest that analyzes the potential market for humanoid robots and addresses particular economic issues that could be enablers for faster robot adoption. I summarised the insights below 👇🏼 → Humanoid robotics
