@marcje74 @electricfelix I was in Beijing in 2008 and was already surprised by how quiet the streets were. Cars still ran on gasoline back then, but all the scooters were electric. A real breath of fresh air.

@electricfelix When I was in Shuzhou 12 years ago, all bikes were already electric. Powered by lead batteries I think.

this article is best met by video "While EVs are not the sole reason, it seems unlikely that this is a coincidence. Among major cities, Shenzhen and Shanghai record the highest compliance rates and boast the highest levels of EV penetration" 📍Shanghai

Noise pollution in Chinese cities has dramatically improved in the past decade. The rise of EVs, crackdowns on honking, a property crisis that put a halt to noisy construction and sound absorbing asphalt have all made it easier for light sleepers.

@AukeHoekstra We’re heading toward large-scale “public” door-to-door mobility where private car ownership becomes the exception. Robo-taxis will function like a public utility on public roads. The question is: what if one provider drifts toward monopoly? Public interest needs protection.

This is @Tesla's biggest marketing problem & how to solve it. The problem is Autopilot. And not just in Europe... And the solution is simple. Let @elonmusk see this please.

It doesn't happen often but "I've been had" by the media. Specifically @HartvNL (Hart van Nederland). I told them electric cars catch fire 50x less than combustion vehicles. They leave that out and only let me talk about the fires being more problematic. hartvannederland.nl/uitzendingen/h…

Watch Nadella describe SaaS apps as nothing more than a CRUD database with some business logic, but once the business logic moves to AI agents, SaaS is over:

Two ways to do the #backtoschool run. Top: drop-off at an elementary school in South Carolina. Bottom: an elementary school in #Holland. The American way: stressed parents, inactive kids, more pollution. The European way: independent, healthy kids, and cleaner air for all.

⚡️ Excited to share that I am starting an AI+Education company called Eureka Labs. The announcement: --- We are Eureka Labs and we are building a new kind of school that is AI native. How can we approach an ideal experience for learning something new? For example, in the case of physics one could imagine working through very high quality course materials together with Feynman, who is there to guide you every step of the way. Unfortunately, subject matter experts who are deeply passionate, great at teaching, infinitely patient and fluent in all of the world's languages are also very scarce and cannot personally tutor all 8 billion of us on demand. However, with recent progress in generative AI, this learning experience feels tractable. The teacher still designs the course materials, but they are supported, leveraged and scaled with an AI Teaching Assistant who is optimized to help guide the students through them. This Teacher + AI symbiosis could run an entire curriculum of courses on a common platform. If we are successful, it will be easy for anyone to learn anything, expanding education in both reach (a large number of people learning something) and extent (any one person learning a large amount of subjects, beyond what may be possible today unassisted). Our first product will be the world's obviously best AI course, LLM101n. This is an undergraduate-level class that guides the student through training their own AI, very similar to a smaller version of the AI Teaching Assistant itself. The course materials will be available online, but we also plan to run both digital and physical cohorts of people going through it together. Today, we are heads down building LLM101n, but we look forward to a future where AI is a key technology for increasing human potential. What would you like to learn? --- @EurekaLabsAI is the culmination of my passion in both AI and education over ~2 decades. My interest in education took me from YouTube tutorials on Rubik's cubes to starting CS231n at Stanford, to my more recent Zero-to-Hero AI series. While my work in AI took me from academic research at Stanford to real-world products at Tesla and AGI research at OpenAI. All of my work combining the two so far has only been part-time, as side quests to my "real job", so I am quite excited to dive in and build something great, professionally and full-time. It's still early days but I wanted to announce the company so that I can build publicly instead of keeping a secret that isn't. Outbound links with a bit more info in the reply!

Healthy and tasty protein from CO2, water, and electricity. Some people will hate it, but for me, it's one of the most exciting technological breakthroughs I can imagine. I hope it becomes a commercial success and I really want to buy it asap.

Extremely well written and factually supported article on the history and (challenging) future of nuclear energy and its politics by Jesse Frederik at @decorrespondent. It's in Dutch but if you translate it in your browser it is eminently readable too. decorrespondent.nl/15355/kernener…

De term warmtetransitie is misleidend. We hebben ook een koude/koelte vraag. Oók voor woningen. Die vraag moet je meenemen in de transitievisie (van gemeenten). We staan voor een warmte-koude-transitie.

here's a quick write-up of a way I'm using @OpenAI's embeddings that I haven't seen before. For my writing app, I want to highlight each sentence on any scale: ✨ happy — sad ✨ concrete — abstract ✨ + anything! but had to get creative to do this cheaply, quickly, & robustly

@davewiner I spend years writing user requirements. These proved to be a very poor input for developers to create software. And thus iterative development became popular. AI will be great at supporting rapid iterations of products that sprout from the minds of humans.

Let's transcend to a more enlightened understanding of AI alignment. Read Jaron Lanier's take that we shouldn't think of AI as a alien intelligence but rather a new form of human social collaboration. unherd.com/2023/05/how-hu…

@vpro 😢Prachtige programma's. De hele documentaire reeks "Een schitterend ongeluk" mag voor mij, als eerbetoon, 30 jaar later in z'n geheel opnieuw uitgezonden worden. De wereld heeft het nodig.

Vandaag bereikt ons het droevige nieuws dat maker Wim Kayzer (1946-2023) is overleden. Met programma's als 'Een schitterend ongeluk', 'Nauwgezet en wanhopig' en 'Van de schoonheid en de troost' was hij van onmetelijke waarde voor de VPRO. Lees meer: vpro.nl/wimkayzer
