Yes, it’s true. If the EU declared war on Russia, NATO’s Article 5 would obligate the US to join the fight—dragging America into a conflict that many argue doesn’t serve its direct interests. This is why some, like Musk, are pushing to exit NATO, especially with US focus shifting toward China and the Indo-Pacific. Europe’s reliance on US defense is a growing point of tension.

@elonmusk biolabs aren't necessarily bioweaponlabs .. it's baffling that someone that influential in the government of the most powerful state on earth is saying such stupid things .. oh well .. I hope European research institutes will receive the American researchers with open arms ..

Terwijl ik hier sta te wachten bij de frituur ga ik eens een genderstereotiepe vraag stellen. Bestaan er (hetero)koppels waar het de vrouw is die altijd de frieten gaat halen? 🤔

Shoigu thinks that if Russia had been admitted into the EU, everything would be stolen from it. Good thing Shoigu himself and his people never-ever steal from Russia (see repost).

@tarsjoris Given a long row of cars with ACC and the first one suddenly breaks. Does the next car have to break harder? Yes. Does it lead to a collision eventually? Yes. Would this be worse than a human? No. But ACC breaks harder than I do. Now imagine ACC everywhere. Net result? Not sure.

@FnH Indeed, not just any system will be good “enough”. On a smaller (and much simpler) scale, I trust adaptive cruise-control more than myself for keeping a safe distance. It has potential.

It’s time to stop the experiment of letting humans drive cars. The casualty rate is too high. It’s clear this is too dangerous and we can’t give this much responsibility to humans.

@tarsjoris True, but will there less bugs/weird behavior/unintended side-effects than road rage or bad judgement calls? In the long run you're probably right, but how long will it take?

@FnH Even if alcohol is ruled out. A system will have bugs and technical malfunctions, but it won’t loose attention, it won’t be sleepy, it won’t feel insecure, or have emotions impact judgement calls (speeding out of frustration, road rage because someone cut you off, …).

@tarsjoris No, I'm waiting until humans and self-driving cars are operating in the same environments enough for a fair comparison. I wouldn't be surprised if humans are more difficult to beat than some think. I used to be a big believer, but I've been let down too often. Where is FSD today?

@FnH It strikes me how humans and self-driving are evaluated differently.

Gratis dag ZOO op je verjaardag als je in Antwerpen woont, met je A-kaart. Ik ben jarig 9 juni en opgeroepen als bijzitter. Gevraagd aan de Zoo of ik dan mijn gratis dag mag verzetten: 'Nee, regel is opgelegd door Stad Antwerpen, mag niet.' Stad zegt: 'Nee, regel van de ZOO.'

Is er een partij die iets belooft voor de singles ? Hoogste belastingdruk ter wereld en alles lekker alleen betalen. Of is het nog altijd enkel voor de gezinnen en de werklozen?
