Fehlstart der E-Auto Förderung: Antrag kann nicht abgesendet werden. Formular der BAFA hat Logikfehler. "FIN ohne Prüfziffer: Die Prüfung der FIN mit der eingegebenen Prüfziffer schlägt fehl." Kathi, bist Du's? Laut @BAFA_Bund ist das Problem "bekannt"; sie "arbeiten dran".

🚨 | Luca Cordero di Montezemolo on the new Ferrari Luce: "If I said what I really think, I'd harm Ferrari. We're risking the destruction of a myth, I'm very sorry about that. I hope they at least remove the Prancing Horse from that car"

Everybody knows that, before elected President of Ukraine, @ZelenskyyUa was a famous comic actor. (In fact, perhaps the most famous comic actor not only in Ukraine, but in Russia as well.) What's less known is that he has a genuinely fine sense of humor even as a war-time president. Today, he recalled Belarus strongman Lukashenka's grand-standing suggestion that "President of Ukraine should meet President of Belarus" and immideately turned to @Tsihanouskaya, who won the 2020 presidential elections in Belarus but was forced out of the country by Lukashenka's regime. That's both fine diplomacy and a genuinely light moment.

@SawyerMerritt Why did these designs make it to physical manifestation?

Why are so many legacy car companies unveiling such ugly EV designs in recent months.....

@tonjkb My Hyundai Inster (2026) has all the right buttons in all the right places. Don't know why it should be hard to nail a cockpit UI. It's not like we don't have best practice examples. Ive is right, of course - but it's not a big "discovery".

Jony Ive: Using touchscreens for basic car controls is a 'dumb design' that endangers lives. "People are dying because of dumb design." "Multi-touch shouldn't be in a car. It requires by definition that you're looking at a display." When the man who popularized the touchscreen admits putting an iPad in your dashboard is a deadly mistake, automakers must listen. I grew up in cars with analog switches, and I miss them. You could operate the radio or the climate control by pure muscle memory while keeping your eyes on the road. Now, the data backs up that everyday frustration. A University of Washington study proves touchscreens cause lane drifting. Starting in 2026, Euro NCAP will actually strip 5-star safety ratings from cars that refuse to use physical buttons for basic controls. We sacrificed safe, intuitive hardware for flat screens. It is time to bring the buttons back. Source: Cleo Abram

@littlewisehen Nicht mal rot. Ferrari ha finito.

Preislich gerade so machbar… 😇 Nach Porsche, Lamborghini und Jaguar wird auch Ferrari elektrisch. Das erste Elektroauto des Sportwagenherstellers geht neue Wege. Das typische Ferrari-Gefühl soll aber erhalten bleiben. n-tv.de/auto/Ferrari-s…

Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.

@JoshWest247 Your logic doesn’t hold up. For compliance math to work, those BEVs must actually be sold and registered. Building an "unwanted" €650k Ferrari or an ugly EV doesn't lower any fleet average if it just sits on a dealer lot collecting dust.

My friend in the exotic automotive space just sent me this regarding the Ferrari Luce and Mercedes GT: “I was chatting with some Mercedes people at their event last week and journalists about why manufacturers keep dropping these electric cars that nobody asked for — and it actually makes a lot of sense once you hear it. The EU has this rule where every car brand’s ENTIRE lineup has to average below a certain emissions number. Not per car — the whole fleet. And if they miss it, they get fined like €95 for every single gram they’re over, multiplied by every car they sold that year. We’re talking hundreds of millions. So every EV they sell pulls that average down. Which means they can keep making the V8s and AMGs and ICE cars we actually love without getting destroyed by regulators. So that MB electric GT 4-Door and the Ferrari Luce? Those aren’t passion projects. That’s compliance math. The irony is those EVs you hate might literally be the reason your favorite ICE cars still exist. Mind-bending but that’s the game right now.”

Die Pflegeversicherung brennt, und Warkens Lösung lautet offenbar: Kinderlose zahlen mehr, Pflegeheimbewohner bekommen weniger, und am strukturellen Problem ändern wir möglichst nichts. Das nennt man dann Reform. In Wahrheit ist es die politische Kunst, ein Milliardenloch so lange zwischen Beitragszahlern und Pflegebedürftigen hin und her zu schieben, bis niemand mehr weiß, wer eigentlich gerade ausgeraubt wird.

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

the pope and anthropic's co-founder just stood together at the vatican to release "magnifica humanitas," the first ever catholic teaching on AI yes, you read that right. the full ceremony was 2 hours. here's the most interesting things for you to know: 1. this is the biggest religious response to AI in history. popes only put out a handful of these huge official letters in their entire time as pope. the fact that one of them is about AI tells you how seriously the church is taking what's coming. 2. small detail with massive meaning: this pope picked the name "leo XIV" on purpose. the last pope named leo was leo XIII back in 1891, and his most famous act was writing the church's response to the industrial revolution. picking the same name is a deliberate signal. this pope sees AI as the new industrial revolution. 3. the catholic church does this every time a major technology reshapes humanity. they wrote "rerum novarum" in 1891 to respond to the industrial revolution. when nuclear weapons threatened the world in the 1960s, they wrote "pacem in terris." climate change and runaway tech got "laudato si" in 2015. now AI gets "magnifica humanitas." they don't issue these often. 4. the pope's main line: "AI needs to be disarmed." he literally compared AI to nuclear weapons. he said the church spent decades pushing for nuclear disarmament because the technology was too dangerous to leave in the hands of a few. he says AI is now in that same category. 5. anthropic co-founder christopher olah told the pope, on stage at the vatican, that anthropic's own research team keeps finding things inside their AI models that "mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." 6. olah's reframe of what AI actually is: these things are grown. they're trained on a structure roughly modeled after the human brain and fed everything humans have ever written. in his own words: "they are made from us, from our words." he said even the people building them don't fully understand what's happening inside. 7. olah publicly admitted that every AI lab, including his own, faces pressure that can conflict with doing the right thing. commercial pressure to keep shipping, competitive pressure from other labs, plus the older pressures of pride and ambition. his solution: we desperately need outside critics with no skin in the game who will tell the labs when they're failing. 8. olah says there are 3 giant questions the AI labs cannot answer alone and the world needs religion and philosophy to step in on: > how do we make sure poor countries actually benefit from AI? > what does human flourishing even look like in this new world? > and what are these things we're actually building? 9. one of the sharpest lines in the whole encyclical: "the promise of automatic general prosperity often proves illusory." translation: the idea that AI will just make everyone rich on its own is a fantasy. someone has to actually design the system so the benefits get shared. 10. the pope also pulled out a 100-year-old quote: "contemporary man has not been trained to use power well." said by a theologian back in the 1920s. the whole encyclical is basically a long argument that we need to learn how to use this kind of power before it uses us. 11. the pope kept stressing that he doesn't have the technical answers. but he says the church has thousands of years of wisdom on what it means to be human, and that wisdom is exactly what's missing from how we're building AI right now. his closing line: this technology should serve "human flourishing and human dignity, not control consciences."

Ein einziger Satz von Habeck und der Finger liegt genau auf der Wunde, die von "CDU pur" Schreihälsen, von Seelenverkäufern der Union für "einfache" Lösungen mit den Rechtsextremen und von der ums Überleben kämpfend um sich schlagenden SPD aufgerissen wird. Und wir haben Merz 🤷‍♂️

Europa bricht alle Hitzerekorde für Mai - und die Regierung Merz handelt 💪 - Fliegen wird billiger - Benzin & Diesel werden subventioniert - Deutschlandticket wird teurer - Das Verbrenner-Aus soll gekippt werden - Das "Heizungsgesetz" wird abgeschwächt

There are still accounts saying 'this is just summer'. Actually, this is warmer than summers used to be. *And it's still only Spring*.

“Brain fog” is brain damage. Imagine if we called cancer “oops-a-growth”. Infantilizing the public and trivializing material harm is unethical and a cause of harm.

@aakashgupta Covid alters the body cells. The inability to process alcohol is a well known symptom of l #LongCOVID.

Two glasses of wine. Didn't get drunk. Couldn't function for three days. This is being celebrated as self-awareness. A healthy 33-year-old body should metabolize two glasses of wine and recover by morning. Billions of people throughout history did exactly that while building civilizations, fighting wars, and running companies. Bartlett has restricted his inputs so aggressively that a single normal human experience sent his entire system into a 72-hour reboot. Engineers call this brittleness. A system optimized exclusively for peak performance under ideal conditions that shatters the moment conditions change. The opposite of antifragile. Remove every stressor for long enough and your body loses the ability to absorb even minor ones. The generation that tracks every HRV reading, weighs every macro, and sleeps in temperature-controlled darkness has accidentally built the most fragile humans in history. Previous generations drank, ate badly, slept rough, and still recovered because constant low-level stress kept their systems adaptable. Two glasses of wine registered as a catastrophic shock because he's spent three years stripping every form of variance from his life. A body that can only perform under perfect conditions is the definition of a fragile system.

@CryptoMikli It's #LongCOVID.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

@Jens72609591 @txgermanbre Croatia has been part of the Schengen zone since 2023.

@txgermanbre No Iceland is in EFTA and the EEA

Might be a sensitive question but why isn’t Iceland in the EU? It’s kind of like right there atleast not that far from Ireland
