Verkehrschaos an der A100: Berliner Senat will Radweg auf der Elsenbrücke in Autospur umwandeln
Die Verkehrsverwaltung will die Radspur in Richtung Friedrichshain auf der Elsenbrücke für Autos freigeben – und so das A100-Verkehrschaos verringern. Radfahrer sollen sich eine Spur teilen.

TIL in 2006 a Putin loyalist wrote a "fictional" novel accurately predicting Russia's future assault on Ukraine. In the novel, this escalates to WWIII followed by the surrender of the U.S. and Europe - sh.itjust.works

FreezeVLA: Action-Freezing Attacks against Vision-Language-Action Models
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are driving rapid progress in robotics by enabling agents to interpret multimodal inputs and execute complex, long-horizon tasks. However, their safety and robustness against adversarial attacks remain largely underexplored. In this work, we identify and formalize a critical adversarial vulnerability in which adversarial images can "freeze" VLA models and cause them to ignore subsequent instructions. This threat effectively disconnects the robot's digital min…

Between February 12th and 15th, the U.S. sent 299 people—from countries such as Afghanistan, Cameroon, Somalia, and Iran—to Panama. On February 20th and 25th, the U.S. sent an additional 200 people, including 81 children, to Costa Rica. Soon afterward came third-country-deportation flights to Uzbekistan and El Salvador, where more than 250 non-Salvadoran immigrants were detained in the brutal Terrorism Confinement Center.

It is oft repeated that you can't solve social problems with technical solutions.
However, there's a flip side to this: you can actually create social problems via technical choices.
