Maybe won’t tick all your boxes, but the ‘Little People, Big Dreams’ books are age-appropriate and our nearly eight year-old is delighting in building a collection of them. See https://littlepeoplebigdreams.com

Wow. That really comes across as egotistical, self-aggrandising and belittling the prospect all at once. Bonus points for being long-winded and repetitive. If I were sent that prior to a meeting, I’d take my business somewhere else.

The flip side is, if you don’t want your browsing habits shared with every data broker on the planet, you have some say in the matter. You’ll get used to it, given time…

This. It matters how you achieve level three. MBs solution requires a lot of legwork to build the datasets describing the specific roads where the L3 capability can then operate. There’s a massive amount to do in this approach to even come

Jeebus. Makes me grateful the software in a Tesla car is (so far as I’ve been able to tell in 90k miles driven) so good.

Relatively is itself a relative term. Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands? You’ll have to quantify at least a little better to attract meaningful answers.

Hi. I confess I haven’t tried the app yet, but the App Store entries show subscription purchase options in Turkish - aylık/yıllık, instead of monthly/annual.

I’m sure the author will thank you for respecting the following in the README: At the moment, it is quietly public: it's available on Github and published to crates.io, but I'd appreciate if you refrain from posting it to Hacker N

You clearly haven’t owned or driven one. Most have a configurable setting for regenerative braking, where the rotation of the wheels turns the motors to put energy back into the battery, and this has a very similar effect on speed. Less fle

There’s a popular view that piracy is not theft. But in UK law at least ( https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/60/crossheading/de... ), although copyright infringement is a separate offence, it kind o

Increasingly SharePoint, in my experience contracting at diverse organisations over the past decade or so. Automatic version control, all the access control you could want, and you can chuck any old file in it (though obviously it works bes

I don’t like Musk either. But I drive a Tesla and, while I think he’s forever talking up hard stuff where the timeline always turns out longer than his prediction - well, he would say that wouldn’t he? Needs to keep people buying shares - a

That’s a very narrow definition of ‘technology’ that you’re applying. For a broader one, which those examples definitely fit, see https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=55838191 ...

I live in Milton Keynes, just across town from Bletchley Park. It’s pricey, but a great geeks day out - there’s a lot to see and the demo of the reproduction Bombe device is fascinating. Also, though it’s a separate admission charge, there’

A potential problem with this is that you’re asking a model that completed training weeks ago about a very recent event. I would love someone with domain knowledge to read this and tell us whether it is creating a plausible narrative from o

Fix #1 needs to be to start calling them NOTAS, which is still a neat acronym, but removes an anachronistic and unnecessary gendering, whilst still being recognisably about ‘notes’ or ‘notifications’.

Because Apple has that many more products on which to focus. Spotify lives or dies by it’s streaming service. The same is not true for Apple and Apple Music, although services are an increasingly important part of their portfolio.

Neil, you’re peddling a long-discredited trope as if it were truth. Pencils are not used in spacecraft because of the risk of graphite (which conducts electricity) fragments getting into equipment and causing potentially deadly failures. Th

It's possible to make a good living as a generalist Systems Engineer (this [ https://www.incose.org/systems-engineering ] kind of systems engineering, not in the IT sense). It certainly helps if you bring some domain exp

Absolutely this. The past is not a guide to the future, at least in this sense. A lack of buzz does not mean something is dying; more often, it means that it is mature and well-understood, with much of the necessary supporting information a

Have you actually read any content at the register.com? It’s often tongue in cheek, but openly so, and rarely - if ever - (in my experience) dishonest. Don’t assume all media outlets and journalists are the same.

TLDR: You brain lies to you - don't take it's opinions at face value. I absolutely identify with this, and wish I had some solutions to share. One insight that may help, is that I think I measure myself too much against my percept
