In Delft, researchers are developing drones that, inspired by nature, can autonomously navigate without sight, using sensory whiskers and probing fingers, which offers new possibilities for use in complex environments such as dark tunnels and archaeological sites. #Drones #Technologie #Innovatie (translated)

Информацияна, която съобщих на Си Зин Пин. Ключово значение за интелектуалността има УВ облъчването, което се усилва от север на юг. В Южна Европа то е 30% по-силно от в Северна Европа, а на екватора е 70% по силно. Ефектът върху хората е в синтезирането в кожата на витамин Д, който се трансформира в полови хормони. Те определят външния вид, емоционалността и интелектуалността. Северняците са интелектуални, южняците са емоционални. Емоционалността задушава разума. Всеки градус движение на север и на юг усилват южняшките и северняшките качества. В южните части на южното полукълбо се наблюдава дебилност, в Австралия и Южна Америка. Икономиката и цивилизацията са продукт на интелектуалността. Интелектуалността е в научно-откривателското мислене насочено към решаване на проблемите на живота. Ключово значение има оценката на важните факти, изхвърляне на маловажните факти и създаване на тяхна основа на нови хипотези и теории. Разбирането на важни открития на другите хора ги прави собствено притежание и това също е научно-откривателско мислене. Всичко друго не е интелектуалност. Ключово значение за развитието на икономиката имат иновациите и те стават все по важни. Това е внедряване на нови научни открития в практиката. Южняците нямат научно мислене, нямат наука и научни открития и абсолютно никакви иновации. Те всичко заимстват от Северните Европейци. Те имат тези качества и само те имат иновации. Лидираща роля имат европейските преселници в САЩ. Многобройността на интелектуалното население е много важно за проявленията на интелектуалността. Това е точно като критичната маса при атомния взрив. Руснаците са най-интелектуални, но те нямат механизма осъществяващ иновациите свободната пазарна икономика. Творческа икономика може да има само при ниски данъци и свобода от опеката на властта. Двигател са супер високите печалби. Нови открития се внедряват в практиката защото те са най-печеливши. Високото данъчно облагане което е в полза на властта, изземва парите на икономиката и на гражданите, което убива производството, потреблението и творческите иновации в икономиката, в следствие на възможността успешните, конкурентни фирми да имат свръх печалби. Именно свръх печалби, защото те са единствения мощен стимулатор за решаването на новаторските внедрявания, които са най-рискови и най-опасни от загуба и фалит. Точно това който не е разбрал нищо не разбира от модерна икономика. Интелектуалността е познаване на истината. Словото е красиво и убедително, когато съобщава истини. Слово не основано на истината е фалшиво маниерничене. В френките автори на афоризми Ларош Фуко, Лабруер, Блез Паскал, Маркиз Вовнарк има много голяма концентрация на истини за живота и те развиват вкус към истината е към лъжата. Големият немски философ Хегел твърди, че китайското мислене е митологично, ненаучно и само античното Гръцко и европейското мислене е научно. Интелигентността не се придобива чрез образование; тя се наследява генетично от родителите. Тя произтича от богата капилярна мрежа в мозъка – генетично предавана характеристика, – която осигурява обилно снабдяване с кислород. Тази черта е особено силно изразена сред евреите и арменците в резултат на много поколения (до 800) цивилизован начин на живот, който ги е предпазил от тежкия физически труд в примитивното земеделие – труд, който лишава мозъка и сърцето от кислород, като по този начин намалява интелигентността и съкращава продължителността на живота. Евреите са направили по-голямата част от откритията, жизненоважни за човечеството, което недвусмислено доказва тяхната интелигентност. Твърди се, че 7-те милиона евреи в Израел превъзхождат Китай, въпреки че населението на последната страна наброява 1,4 милиарда души. Северните европейци също притежават висока интелигентност поради студения климат; студеният въздух е по-плътен и доставя повече кислород от топлия. Снабдяването на мозъка с кислород е единственият определящ фактор за високата интелигентност. Ашкеназките евреи, живеещи в Северна Европа, са изключително интелигентни поради две причини: генетично заложената интелигентност и студеният климат. Доказано е, че те са най-интелигентните хора в света. За разлика от тях, южните сефарадски евреи демонстрират потисната интелигентност. Разделителната линия между Севера и Юга е 43-тият паралел; на юг от тази линия повишената емоционалност потиска интелигентността. Китай се намира на юг от 43-тия паралел и няма история на градски живот – истинското проявление на интелигентността, – като вместо това в продължение на хиляди години се е опирал на масово примитивно земеделие. Here is the information I conveyed to Xi Jinping. UV radiation plays a key role in intellect, and its intensity increases from north to south. In Southern Europe, it is 30% stronger than in Northern Europe, while at the equator, it is 70% stronger. Its effect on humans involves the synthesis of Vitamin D in the skin, which is then transformed into sex hormones. These hormones determine physical appearance, emotionality, and intellect. Northerners are intellectual; Southerners are emotional. Emotionallity stifles reason. Every degree of movement northward or southward intensifies these respective "Southern" or "Northern" traits. Instances of intellectual deficiency are observed in the southern parts of the Southern Hemisphere—specifically in Australia and South America. Economy and civilisation are products of intellect. Intellect manifests as scientific, discovery-oriented thinking aimed at solving life's problems. Key factors include evaluating significant facts, discarding trivial ones, and formulating new hypotheses and theories based on the remaining information. Grasping the important discoveries made by others—thereby making them one's own—also constitutes scientific, discovery-oriented thinking. Anything else falls outside the realm of intellect. Innovation is crucial for economic development and is becoming increasingly important; it involves the practical application of new scientific discoveries. Southerners lack scientific thinking, science, and scientific discoveries, and they produce absolutely no innovations. They borrow everything from Northern Europeans. Northern Europeans possess these qualities and are the sole source of innovation. European settlers in the USA play a leading role in this regard. The size of the intellectual population is crucial for the manifestation of intellectuality; it is akin to the critical mass required for a nuclear explosion. Russians possess a high level of intellectuality, yet they lack the mechanism that drives innovation: the free-market economy. A creative economy can only flourish amidst low taxes and freedom from state control. Super-high profits serve as the driving force; new discoveries are put into practice precisely because they yield the greatest returns. High taxation—which benefits the state—drains capital from the economy and citizens alike, stifling production, consumption, and creative innovation. It eliminates the possibility for successful, competitive firms to generate "super-profits"—profits that are essential, as they provide the only powerful incentive to pursue innovative implementations, which carry the highest risks of loss and bankruptcy. Anyone who fails to grasp this point understands nothing about the modern economy. Intellectuality is the knowledge of truth. Speech is beautiful and persuasive only when it conveys truth; speech not grounded in truth is merely hollow affectation. The French aphorists—La Rochefoucauld, La Bruyère, Blaise Pascal, and the Marquis de Vauvenargues—offer a profound concentration of truths about life, cultivating a discerning taste for truth versus falsehood. The great German philosopher Hegel argued that Chinese thought is mythological and unscientific, asserting that only ancient Greek and European modes of thought are truly scientific. Intelligence is not acquired through education; it is genetically inherited from one's parents. It stems from a rich capillary network in the brain—a genetically transmitted trait—that ensures a high oxygen supply. This characteristic is particularly pronounced among Jews and Armenians, a result of many generations (up to 800) of civilized living that spared them from the grueling physical labor of primitive agriculture—labor that deprives the brain and heart of oxygen, thereby diminishing intelligence and shortening lifespans. Jews have made the majority of discoveries vital to humanity, which unequivocally demonstrates their intelligence. It is claimed that the 7 million Jews in Israel surpass China, despite the latter's population of 1.4 billion. Northern Europeans also possess high intelligence due to the cold climate; cold air is denser and delivers more oxygen than warm air. Oxygen supply to the brain is the sole determinant of high intelligence. Ashkenazi Jews living in Northern Europe are exceptionally intelligent for two reasons: genetic intelligence and the cold climate. They are proven to be the most intelligent people in the world. Southern Sephardic Jews, by contrast, exhibit suppressed intelligence. The dividing line between North and South is the 43rd parallel; south of this line, heightened emotionality stifles intelligence. China lies south of the 43rd parallel and lacks a history of urban life—the true manifestation of intelligence—having instead relied on mass primitive agriculture for thousands of years.

Der Taschenrechner sagt: 0,025 €. Die Rechnung sagt: 250 €. Wem glaubst du? 100 Kinder im Science Center setzen sich für eine Pause an die Tische. 100 Säfte werden auf die Tische gestellt, einer für jedes Kind. Ein Saft kostet 2,50 €. Einer der Schüler nimmt sein Handy heraus und öffnet den Taschenrechner, um herauszufinden, wie viel die 100 Säfte insgesamt kosten. Doch statt auf × zu drücken, drückt der Schüler versehentlich auf ÷. Auf dem Bildschirm erscheint: 0,025 € Das Ergebnis wirkt seltsam, aber die Zahl steht auf dem Bildschirm, und der Schüler überprüft sie nicht noch einmal. Inzwischen stehen alle 100 Säfte bereits auf den Tischen und die Kinder beginnen, sie zu öffnen. Ein paar Minuten später kommt die Rechnung: 250 € Die Schüler schauen sich an. Jemand sagt sofort, dass da ein Fehler sein muss. Der Schüler nimmt das Handy noch einmal heraus und überprüft, was er eingegeben hatte. Statt auf × zu drücken, hatte er versehentlich auf ÷ gedrückt. Ein einziger falscher Tastendruck hatte 250 € in 0,025 € verwandelt. Und alle 100 Säfte waren bereits geöffnet. Wenn dir ein Taschenrechner ein Ergebnis liefert, reicht es dann, eine Zahl auf dem Bildschirm zu sehen — oder solltest du dich auch fragen, ob das Ergebnis sinnvoll ist und welche Größenordnung es hat? Funktionaler Analphabetismus bedeutet nicht nur, einen Text nicht zu verstehen. Manchmal bedeutet er auch, ein absurdes Ergebnis auf dem Bildschirm zu sehen und nicht zu erkennen, dass es keinen Sinn ergibt. Wo glaubst du, reißt die Kette: bei der Berechnung selbst, beim Verständnis des Ergebnisses oder weil die Gewohnheit fehlt, das Ergebnis zu überprüfen? #haushalt #schulden #bildung #edu #pisa #pisastudie #MrNumberwise #Deutsch #20260910 #0057

Jeg har kørt med selvkørende FSD i nogle måneder nu. Eller min bil har retteligt kørt mig, i nogle måneder nu. Fra min første tur ved Folkemødet, til at det kort efter blev sluppet løs til private biler, så har jeg kørt flere tusind kilometer. Jeg tror ikke helt folk forstår det som sker. Transport er ved at forandre sig meget. Det er ekstremt tæt på fuldautomatisk. Med undtagelse af at køre ind i min indkørsel (hvor den vil parkere på villavejen), så kommer den uden jeg rører den fra A til B idag. Det er ikke en fartpilot. Eller en lane-assist. Den kører bilen. Selv. Der er lige om lidt ingen grund til at jeg overhovedet befinder mig i bilen. Hvis jeg måtte, så kunne jeg taste en adresse ind og sende bilen afsted selv. 9 ud af 10 ture allerede idag bruger bilen mig slet ikke. Et menneskes intervention i kørslen er formentlig allerede nu mindre sikkert, end FSDs reaktion, på en given hændelse. Har én selvkørende bil lært at komme ind i min indkørsel, så er den viden hos alle selvkørende biler. Måske køre uden chauffør, hjem fra at sætte mig af i lufthavnen for at spare parkering, eller for at køre børnene i skole, eller hente noget. Skal oldemor til øjenlægen i arbejdstiden? Send bilen efter hende. Den er god nok til at køre helt selv. Det er ikke science fiction. Det er ikke teknik og software som stopper os i at kunne, det er pt. kun regler og regulativer. Det er klart at vi skal være sikre på at den er mere sikker henover alle situationer end et menneske, før det slippes fri, men det er tæt på. Den kører langt mere smooth, opmærksomt og forudseende end et menneske kan. Det er mere at klare myndighedernes bevisbyrde end et software leap, som skal til nu. Når bilerne endda kan kommunikere sammen inden længe, og andelen af menneskelige chaufføre på vejene falder, så øges sikkerheden yderligere. Hvis de taler sammen, så kan de i teorien køre med højere tæthed i højere fart. Reaktionstiden for at bremse er ikke biologiske nervebaner uden advarsel, men lysets hastighed og lidt compute, som får en advarsel fra den forankørende først. Game changer for spørgsmålet om trængsel. 3x så mange biler dobbelt så hurtigt fremme? Mindre luftmodstand og derved mindre elforbrug? Det betyder farvel til diskussioner om p-pladser. Bilen sætter dig af og kører hvorhen den behøver. Måske delebiler overtager det hele. Så flåden af biler konstant kører. Måske samkørsel al'a mindre busser som dynamisk ruteoptimerer. Flere grønne arealer og det hele er støjsvage elbiler. Vejene skal også opdateres med tiden, så skilte, bump, og sving osv. er optimeret efter en anden slags chaufførs opmærksomhed. Det vil yderligere forbedre transport. Det betyder også at togtrafik er en deadend. En tons tung ting, som kun kan køre lige ud, og som ikke starter hvor du er, og ikke stopper hvor du skal hen. Glem det. Bør man lave analyser af at omdanne banenettet til turboveje til selvkørende biler? Det ændrer også totalt hvad en bil skal gøre for dig. Den bliver en slags "tredje sted", mere lounget, måske med sengeplads, mere komfortabel, designet efter socialt samvær, arbejde og opbevaring. Jeg tror også det gør noget ved roadrage og trafikstress. Hvis nogen dytter, så er det af en computer. Du kan heller ikke rigtig være sur på en forankørende, hvis du ved det er en computer og ikke en "idiot" bag rettet. Jeg er sikker på at fejl og ulykker vil ske. Men jeg er også sikker på at de vil være færre og mindre, end vi ser idag med mennesker bag rattet. Endda med en potentielt stejl læringskurve. Jeg tror vi kommer til at kigge tilbage på mennesker bag rattet som noget farligt. De mange som stadig kører selv og ikke har prøvet det endnu, tænker sikkert jeg er virkelighedsfjern efter at have læst det her. Men nej. Vi står midt i det. "The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed" Tingene bliver anderledes og de bliver bedre, meget hurtigt. Det skal man politisk selvfølgelig indstille beslutninger efter nu. #SelvkørendeBiler #FremtidensTransport #Teknologi

Why Weak Societies Choose Tyranny The pinnacle of tyranny would be a system that allows politicians, elites, and bureaucrats to control a population without force or coercion because the people love their servitude. Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World, an eerily relatable dystopian novel, with this idea at the forefront. Unlike Orwell’s 1984, there is no overt oppression. The state does not have to stamp on human faces with its jackboots or erect an inescapable surveillance state. Rather, the people of Brave New World happily chain themselves with meaningless pleasure and distractions. The authorities do not rule through terror and rage, the central elements of 1984, but instead give the people everything they ever wanted. A pharmaceutical called Soma becomes the opiate of the masses. Mustapha Mond, the World Controller, likens it to Christianity without tears. While religion requires years of moral training, Soma allows citizens to achieve peace simply by swallowing tablets. It is the perfect escape from reality, a holiday from the facts. Lenina, the female counterpart to the protagonist Bernard, cannot comprehend why he refuses Soma, preferring discomfort to something that can remove it. When Bernard states, “I’d rather be myself, myself and nasty, not somebody else, however jolly,” Lenina sees this as a sort of pathology and repeatedly encourages him to take the wonder drug. Bernard explains, “I want to know what passion is.” He understands that there is more to life than merely being content, craving genuine experience, including suffering and intensity, rather than being emotionally regulated by the World State. Lenina’s bewilderment stems from her conditioning to regard unhappiness as a technical problem, encapsulated in the society’s common saying that “a gram is better than a damn.” The people of Brave New World are not captives but satisfied customers. Children are produced by the scientific state, relieving people of the responsibility of parenthood. This grants them the ability to engage in promiscuity, where everyone belongs to everyone else, while filling their free time with cheap entertainment and endless sporting events—what would be referred to as slop today. As Neil Postman observed, Orwell saw totalitarianism through the lens of fear, while Huxley saw it through pleasure. There was no need to ban a book in Brave New Worldbecause there was no one who wanted to read one. An abundance of low-quality information rendered censorship unnecessary because no one could hear the truth through all the noise. Huxley threw shade at civil libertarians who passionately opposed tyranny because they failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions. Humanity in its rawest form is portrayed by John the Savage, an outsider free from the World State’s conditioning. Upon coming face-to-face with this spiritually neutered society, he completely rejects it: “I don’t want comfort, I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin.” Huxley’s dystopia is not imposed on an unwilling population but instead requested by a hollow one. Which leads us to the question: How do people become so weak that they get on their knees and beg for totalitarianism? Good times make bad times possible. Once a certain level of luxury and safety is achieved, people start to resemble the hobbits from the Shire. They are so far removed from evil that they forget it even exists and become defenseless in the face of it. Andrew Lobaczewski, who studied the psychology of totalitarianism from inside Poland’s communist takeover, wrote: “During good times, people progressively lose sight of the need for profound reflection. They lose the capacity to differentiate human nature, and emotion begins to dominate intellect. Once a critical mass starts operating on the pleasure principle, any excess mental effort seems like pointless labor.” Lobaczewski warned that it is not as simple as some people losing the ability to think rationally. It is worse, because those people then shame anyone capable of doing so. A clever, liberal, and merry individual is a good sport. A more far-sighted person predicting dire results becomes a wet blanket, a killjoy. The ability to have uncomfortable conversations without emotion taking over is, in Lobaczewski’s view, an indicator of whether a society’s future will be good or bad. It is easier to think about pleasant things. This leads people to eliminate any data or facts that cause them discomfort. That becomes a habit and eventually a custom accepted by society at large. Once the general populace accepts that inconvenient truths should be left unsaid, it becomes incapable of reaching correct conclusions. After all, how could you ever describe a picture that you refuse to look at? “Catastrophe waits in the wings of the communities that lose the capacity for psychological reason and moral criticism,” Lobaczewski wrote. “It is on the other side of this weakening of thought that the processes of the generation of evil are intensified at every social scale until they give rise to bad times.” It is precisely man’s dreams of happiness that can lead to chaos and suffering. This hedonistic view of happiness contains the seeds of misery, feeding the eternal cycle whereby good times give birth to bad times. Friedrich Nietzsche viewed socialism as demanding comfort for the greatest number of people possible. To question whether it is good for the masses to live in comfort has become a form of heresy. This reveals the spiritual atrophy that so many suffer from. Considering only the weak believe comfort to be a virtue, it is what Carl Jung would describe as the infantile dream state of mass dependency: the desire to gently slip back into the kingdom of childhood, into the paradise of parental care. Except this lack of friction has consequences. The perfect state destroys the soil in which great intellect grows. Genius, struggle, passion, strength, and wisdom are required to build a safe and abundant society. Yet once a certain level of comfort is achieved, it can destroy the very virtues required to obtain it. Nietzsche observed that it is the warmest heart that aims to alleviate suffering and hardship but fails to realize that it thereby wills the destruction of its own foundation. Comfort breeds mediocrity, which is then called good. Small people want one thing above all: that no one hurt them. We have taken this pathology to such a degree that we now obsess over hurt feelings and call this virtue. Pleasure, in its proper place, is a byproduct of meaningful goals, not a goal in itself. Aristotle saw that pleasure and comfort distort perception and proper judgment. While they do not cause us to misjudge something like geometry or mathematics, they can destroy our ability to decide what is worth pursuing and, therefore, what to do. Consider The Odyssey. Homer depicts Odysseus’ men on the island of the Lotus-Eaters, where they taste the fruit and lose all desire to go home. Much like Huxley’s Brave New World, they are not imprisoned. Rather, they simply stop wanting anything more. Odysseus has to drag his men back to the ships while they weep to stay. This is what comfort can do to men. It empties them of purpose. We intuitively understand this but fail to apply it to our own lives. We must make the same choice as Odysseus when he refuses Calypso’s offer of endless comfort and immortality. He knows she is more beautiful than his wife Penelope waiting at home. He knows that he and Penelope will grow old and die, a fate he could avoid by staying with Calypso. No one who reads these stories wishes he had stayed. We want him to choose the hard way home because if he took the offer, he would stop being admirable. Yet staying is exactly what our modern society asks of us. We are told that the island is the good life. But what happens to the man who caves to this temptation? In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche imagines a risk-averse society taken to its logical endpoint. The elimination of all struggle produces a man so diminished that he fails to possess even self-contempt or higher aspiration. Safety and sameness become the highest goals, creating “no shepherd in one herd.” Anyone who seeks to be anything more than normal becomes an aberration to be dealt with. Or, as Nietzsche puts it, they have “made the wolf a dog in man himself, man’s best domestic animal.”

My guess: the big differentiator in modern software development will not be "taste", but sustained attention. Most software built quickly with AI will follow an "easy come, easy go" pattern and be abandoned shortly after announcement. #SoftwareDevelopment #AI #SustainedAttention #Nospecificcountrycodesarefoundinthetweet.
