The company I work for is rather slow in adopting AI-based tooling. Recently, I discovered that our Databricks instance exposes an API endpoint that provides access to a wide range of LLMs. So I built a small local Streamlit-based chat app that lets me switch models within a conversation, add or remove files from the context, and clean up dead ends. It actually works much better than the Microsoft Copilot app we’re officially supposed to use.
Fair point -- I was only thinking wheels, but you are right.
Would source distributions work as a vector for automated propagation, though? If I'm not mistaken, there's no universal standard for building from source distributions.
> Automatic Door Locking (ADL): System in the vehicle whereby the door
latches automatically lock once the vehicle has reached a certain speed. They
should also automatically unlock in the event of an accident, post impact.
They also have a section for electric retractable door handles (5.3), including
> It is assumed that by design the door handles will extend outwards ready for use when the SRS system deploys any airbag/detects a severe impact or the door handle remains in its retracted position but can be grabbed nevertheless by the first responder without any tool.
I wonder if Tesla's don't do this? Or if it didn't in this case?
Honestly, not sure. I think this is open to interpretation (and maybe is clarified elsewhere in their documentation).
Euro NCAP is a voluntary assessment program, so I believe all of these are just recommendations that will impact a vehicles scoring rather than mandatory safety standards.
That, presumably, is an electronic/computerized feature, not mechanical. So if the car is damaged enough to not have electricity, or that board was damaged in whatever caused the airbags to deploy, then the doors won't automatically unlock.
Given the kinds of things that could make an airbag go off, I wouldn't bet on that feature working when needed.

As 3D30497420 said, this is part of Euro NCAP. They test for exactly this [1]. Why would you assume a safety system wouldn’t work?
[1] “If ADL is fitted as standard and by default always on then the doors will be locked by the lab personnel prior to ALL full-scale tests… Post-test the lab personnel will immediately check if any of the side doors inthe front crash tests and any of the non-struck side doors in the side crash tests has remained locked/has not automatically unlocked.” https://cdn.euroncap.com/media/43396/euro-ncap-rescue-extric...
I've never experienced any government process where paying a third party would have simplified things. I've also never heard of any third party offerings for that purpose. Could you share some examples?
Not sure about now, but last year your only way of getting a digital vignette for the Austrian highway that is valid “today” was via a third party (from outside Austria, I think).
Austrian ASFINAG would only sell you one that is valid in ~2 week at the earliest, since that’s the time you are guaranteed by law to return it. Not very handy if you are already on the road, and don’t want to stop to buy a physical vignette.
It generally means someone translating your information to the format the government employees expect, because each attempt costs multiple weeks of waiting. Basically, if there is a 6-week response time, you want to get it right on the first try.
In other cases, you pay people to save yourself the hassle of fighting for an appointment slot, and to save a trip across town in the middle of a work day. These fixers become the somewhat digital layer to a famously analog bureaucracy.
I've never had this issue with any government communication in Germany. Also, all appointments I need can be booked online, so I never had to pay someone for them (wouldn't even come to my mind). Maybe it's more of an issue for particular cities?
Is it safe to assume that you were born in Germany? The system is a lot less friendly to newcomers who have to do everything at once. It's full of catch 22 situations.
That aside, Germany is a federation and every state, city, office and employee adds a layer of variance for a given process.
Yes,measuring the energy consumption and efficiency of the conversion from electricity to light is part of the label. The light bulb example is not as unsuitable as you seem to assume. Incandescent light bulbs only convert about 5 percent of the energy consumed to light, the rest is converted to heat. LEDs, in contrast, are 6 to 8 times more efficient.
Your "does image processing..." part is also important. Different processors consume vastly different amounts of energy. A hobbyist example would be trying to run something on a battery powered ESP32 with or without deep sleep.
I meant it's it's physics job to produce light. If it does that efficiently, great! That's one thing you should want.
It's human job is to convey information. If you're measuring efficiency that way, it would be most efficient to have the dimmest screen possible (using the least energy) as long as you can still tell what's happening on screen. If that's already happening, then surely a screen twice as bright as you need it to be would use twice the energy and be half as efficient, even if it physically is equally as efficient making light at any brightness.
You could be using half the energy to do the "same" job.
Unfortunately, these numbers considered state of art for modern classic gyroscopes.
Better are quantum navigation systems, using quantum matter as sensor, but they was too bulky to be used on planes, only last years appear more compact systems, sized like common home fridge.
Didn't really think about this before, but that seems to be mainly an issue in Northern / Central America and Japan. In Germany, for example, typical household plugs are 16A at 230V.
You can consider as many dimensions as you want. As I mentioned, for some time we had three papers regularly delivered, for additional perspective.
However typically, a single dimension is a useful first-order approximation[1], and so that's what's done in politics as well. As with all approximations, sometimes it works well and other times it does not.
Seems like Norway has also many constituencies which can favor dominant parties. However unlike US you have also leveling seats which balances it a bit.
