In 1971, the BBC program Tomorrow's World demonstrated a "Cassette Navigation System." It used tapes with pre-recorded voice instructions for specific routes. Connected to the car's odometer, the device interpreted the length of electronic beeps on the tape to calculate distance, playing the next command only after the car... show more

It was great to be on BBC Woman's Hour this morning to speak about the reality of being a woman in politics, as well as what the changes to the prison recall system mean for the safety of women. If you missed it, catch up on BBC Sounds.

Joggers rejoice! 🏃🤗 Your journeys are now safer thanks to #FSD When a jogger is detected, the car's system analyzes the situation faster than a human can blink. It considers factors like the jogger’s speed, direction, and distance from the car. If the system decides that the jogger is at risk, it takes action to avoid a collision. This could mean slowing down, changing lanes, or even stopping the car.

During a 2015 dealer demo in the Dominican Republic, a Volvo XC60 rolled into two staff members. The car lacked the optional pedestrian detection system being demonstrated. It was later determined to be human error, as Volvo’s City Safety system only detects vehicles, not people.

On some single-line routes, Bangladesh Railways still uses a British-era token system. As the train passes, the driver collects a hoop carrying the token without it, the train cannot enter the next block. [📹 locomaster_]

When I was little, I tried putting Rayman 1's disc in my walkman & found out I could play its tracks but we could only afford to rent the game for a day, so my mom recorded the entirety of the OST on a tape so I could keep listening to it with my cassette player (in the streets)

The Proportional Representation with a Single Transferrable Vote system used in Irish elections is one of the fairest ways to count votes, but it also can be confusing! So ahead of tomorrow's General Election, Barry Gallagher has the lowdown on how the PR system actually works.

I think most people would be surprised to hear that games used to run from cassette tapes. To be honest, I’m not from the generation that actually played games directly from cassette tapes either, so I can’t completely relate. But after recreating the experience with old hardware, I found myself thinking about how kids back then must have gathered around a computer, excitedly waiting for those long loading times to finally finish. It almost felt like I had traveled back to that era myself. Small games could take around 5–10 minutes to load, while larger games around 1MB could take nearly 30 minutes. Before trying cassette tape gaming myself, I had so many questions about how it actually worked. Does the tape keep spinning while the game is running? Do larger games require flipping to Side A or Side B? If you press the stop button, does the game stop too? I had a lot of questions like that, but the way it actually worked was that the computer first loaded all the data stored on the tape into memory. After that, the game would continue running independently without needing the tape anymore. Even now, I still find it fascinating and surprising. I can only imagine how incredible it must have felt for people experiencing it for the first time back in the 1980s.

THIS CHINESE DEVELOPER TOLD A TINY AI DEVICE "I NEED A CAR CONTROL PROGRAM" - AND IT WROTE THE CODE, FLASHED THE HARDWARE AND LIT UP THE LEDS IN ONE SHOT small white screen showing "listening..." - he speaks the command out loud - the device hears it, writes the firmware, flashes the Raspberry Pi Pico and the red LEDs fire up in sequence no keyboard, no IDE, no Stack Overflow - just talking to a device that understands what he wants and builds it the breadboard on the desk is the hardware - the tiny screen in his hand is the AI that programs it - voice in, working electronics out he vibe coded the entire control system by describing it - the AI handled every line of MicroPython, every GPIO pin assignment and every LED pattern what used to require an electronics degree and a week of debugging now takes one sentence spoken out loud the people still manually writing firmware are one voice command behind

Car flips over after a tow truck operator tried pulling the car from a flooded road by hooking a chain to the passenger seat door in Marshall, Texas. The car's door began to bend as the tow truck driver tried to pull the car out of the floodwater. Despite the bent door, the worker kept pulling the car, ultimately causing it to flip over.

I've seen those WhatsApp group msgs on banning us and honestly we got 99 problems and they aren't one. You see , The main purpose of a pre-purchase inspection is not to tell a client whether to buy a car or not, but to inform them of the exact condition of the unit they intend to purchase. In fact, we make it a point to help clients especially first-time buyers set realistic expectations. You can’t expect a 2010 locally used car to be in the same condition as a fresh import. However, one thing we absolutely refuse to do is lie to clients. If a car is mixing oil with coolant, we say it as it is. If the mileage has been tampered with or the car is full of rust, we call it out. And if any dealer has a problem with that, we honestly couldn’t care less. SORRY NOT SORRY. Anyways, for pre purchase inspections, WhatsApp us on 0729686646.

ELON: “CRYPTO IS A CHECK AGAINST CORRUPTION” “Almost all money is digital already. I do think there is a role for crypto in the future… as a means of ensuring that the monetary system does not get completely corrupted. It provides competition to the fiat system. So that if the fiat system becomes overly restrictive, then crypto will grow.” Source: Elon Musk

I have been a staunch believer in local govt systems. The DC system could work but doesn’t. I filed an application with proof of a commercial entity working in my neighbourhood. It is a company whose owner is connected to the most powerful minister in Sindh. He held loud parties in the garden. After the DC application, he approached seniors of mine. Promises were made. I explained the noise problem. He promised it would not happen. It still does. After 3am sehri parties the caterer crashes around removing the trestle tables. The system does not work even if you are on the correct legal side. Everyone is just expected to accept this group that rules Sindh and we are stuck with their shitty systems. There is a gender angle to this: single woman households, no matter what their class, have next to no support from the law or system and are vulnerable no matter what they do.

"For the first time since World War 2, the US is no longer doing it for the greater good. This is America first. The Fed no longer has to act for the greater good either" Brent Johnson on the historic shift in how America deals with the rest of the world "Post World War 2, from Bretton Woods, even up until now, it was a greater good way of dealing with the world. There was this thing called the rules based order, which was a real thing. The IMF, the World Bank, the United Nations, the WTO. It was a Keynesian system of all working together" "That system was set up to benefit the West, the US specifically, but it was still a greater good scenario. With Trump coming to power, this is a much different way of working with the rest of the world. It's good for the United States, we'll do it. If it's not, we won't" "That means the Fed no longer has to act for the greater good. They can work with the Treasury to set up policies that benefit the US even if it hurts the rest of the world. I don't think they will come to the rescue of the rest of the world as quickly as they have in the past"
