The deadly 3,000kg car bloat trend

Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier

"Also in recent years, Australia has spectacularly failed at its mission of bringing down road deaths and serious injuries. Speed – and their proclivity to be driven faster – and overall height make larger vehicles far more likely to kill or cause serious injury when hitting pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes and smaller cars."

"Newstead warns how this mentality can lead to an arms race to larger cars for those wanting to bolster their own safety. Crucially, if a driver can’t make eye contact with a pedestrians, “they are going to drive as though they aren’t there”"

Tonnes of microplastics infiltrate Australia’s agricultural soils each year
How microplastics affects soil and food health

"We found every kilogram of compost contains between 1,500 and 16,000 microplastic particles. In weight, this equates to between 7 and 760 milligrams of microplastics per kilogram of compost. "

"In Australia, about 26% of compost produced at organic waste processing facilities is used in agriculture. So, we estimate that between 2.7 and 206 tonnes of microplastics is being transported to Australian agricultural land from compost each year."

"The absence of clear guidelines leaves composting facilities, waste processors, and end users vulnerable to unintended plastic pollution."

So, the Financial Conduct Authority was preparing to apply a 'public interest test' as to whether it was in the public interest to 'name & shame' financial services firms that it had investigated & found at fault... but after sectoral lobbying they have given that up & are retaining the 'exceptional circumstances' test.

So even if the FCA find bankers acting badly it will only (still) tell us in 'exceptional circumstances';

remind me who the Govt. works for?

🏥 AI systems that mimic teamwork among doctors can enhance trust in clinical settings, especially under the new EU Artificial Intelligence Act. These systems should use clear, understandable concepts to explain their decisions, similar to how medical teams communicate.

I wonder what people who say EU is over regulating think of that. Imagine where such use case would not be regulated?

"The fact that Congress hasn't updated [US]Americans' privacy protection since Die Hard was in theatres is not a coincidence, or an oversight. It is expensively purchased inaction, from a heavily concentrated - and thus wildly profitable - privacy invasion industry, that has monetised the abuse of human rights at unimaginable scale."

There is an opened letter addressed to the EU from Sept 2024 (based on domain name registration), signed by Mark Zuckerberg, and other CEOs. Quite "funny" (not really no) to read this after seeing an interview from the US president yesterday where the journalist asked for more certainty in the name of wall street, whom says he is against Globalists now. Weird times ahead... Again..

Fear fuels social media through endless dark patterns and others doom-scrolling stories. Many experts have already explained it in extended length, yet nothing is done to protect children.
Seemingly the UK is thinking about it. When in the EU/France knowing that the avg age for a child to own a smartphone is around 11 years old?

Take the "M" out of Manus and it's..

While working on my own local LLM wild claims debunking machine running on an old CPU, I took the risk to let it search the Internet. After a while; it started looking for a "quantum processing MiniPC solution in 2025" because why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

NB : seemingly there is a new hacker group heavily using LLM bots at mo, well done (not) to Meta and the rest !

“18F was the people’s #tech shop,” one fired #18F worker tells WIRED. “There’s a giant hole left by the closure of 18F. Requests from across the country for help far outpaced 18F’s capacity before the closure.”
