Google hat bei der diesjährigen I/O mit den Geminis nur so um sich geworfen. Warum das schwierig ist und wer oder was sie alle sind.

Call It What It is
Things can change in a moment. But the clearest sign out of Israel this morning is Benny Gantz (et al.) statement that Israel will respond to Iran at a time of its own choosing. That

I am talking to a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353
This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. 

"1. Enhanced structured assessments with cognitive testing"
This is basically "racism with a side of logic puzzles"
"Over the past 12 months, we have tested structured assessments for cultural alignment and technical skills, and validated these were predictive of performance at Coinbase"
Measuring performance is itself a can of worms and racism magnet. In order words: garbage in, garbage out. They're validating that they get what they measure, but if both are biased in the same way, well, probably they aren't learning what they think they are.
"We believe having a minimum bar on these assessments will drive consistency in evaluation, reduce bias, and foster a meritocracy."
Consistency? Probably. Consistency of goose turds.
Reduce bias? Certainly the opposite. They're literally creating bias via cultural alignment. That's the whole fucking point of cultural alignment: it's intentional bias.
Oh, did they mean reducing discrimination against protected classes? LOL. also no. Probably they never learned that IQ tests are racist, and what they're doing is probably worse.
"Foster a meritocracy" what is this, a parody of 2005 libertarian tech start-ups? … … oh right, griftocurrency.
Apparently they were sick the day that their grade school teacher presented why meritocracy is a myth

An insightful report published today by T&E UK on the 'early majority', the next phase of EV buyers, and what's holding them back - and what would convince them (see attached image from the full report).
Research for the UK, but equally applicable elsewhere, I think.

The “early majority”: the next phase of the EV transition in the UK
E UK lays out what the barriers are for the next segment of battery electric vehicle adopters and what can be done to help them make the transition…
