Around a third of haulage trucks sold in China this year will run on electricity www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... "Diesel consumption in China will drop more than 10% this year" remember that there are basically zero diesel passenger cars in CN, so the transition is about vans & trucks

4 years ago, American truckers were (at the behest of right-wing groups) protesting Covid health & safety rules Are those same truckers now protesting diesel nearly doubling in price? Nope... Not a peep from those white shitweasels. Absolute cowards

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

iOS 27 and macOS 27 are out, which means a lot of people are just discovering today that Apple Intelligence is now forced upon everyone (in countries where available) It takes a lot of space and cannot be deleted (no, turning off Siri entirely isn’t an acceptable workaround)
