The original article and headline don’t mention AI, only the the headline of the English translation does. Shame to see them trying to clickbait international audiences. It’s our national broadcast, they don’t even make money off clicks. They usually have fairly good reporting too.

I’m guessing the editor Andrew Whyte had something to do with this. He wasn’t credited in the original article.

Also if they’re using AI for anything in the proposed system, it’s probably to detect which photos have drivers staring at phones. Simple image categorization. Not AI but a machine learning algorithm at least.

Poor translation of poor wording.

In Estonian it’s common to say “today we do x” to refer to status quo. If you say “today we’ve decided to do x” like in the article, it can sadly be taken in two ways.

Also that part refers to the lack of clarity on who would install average speed cameras IF we started using those. Nobody wants to pay for them basically.

But the core of the article is an autonomous system that would be installed on top of police cruisers and send out tickets without officer intervention. Check speed, check insurance validity Check if driver is looking at phone or if seatbelt is undone. Same system in stationary cameras would work as average speed camera. The insurance thing is just an API call, the other stuff is ML (image categorization) so I guess you could call it AI, but AI is not mentioned anywhere in the Estonian article.

This also affects laptops with anything up to a 7th gen i7 and any amount of RAM and storage. Even if they have the correct TPM version. On a technical level, these devices are absolutely capable of running Windows 11, Microsoft just didn’t wanna.

Portugal could never buy enough jets to stop the US

No, but Spain is right next to it and France isn’t that far. Both likely to help. But why would they help Portugal if Portugal itself doesn’t take meaningful steps to protect itself? You use a lot of exclamation points in your comments! That doesn’t magically mean you’re right.

You also gotta make sure nobody tries to steal the Azores for their beautiful nature.

I won’t fight you because I agree. But a lot of people think it’s more free to have freedoms end when it comes to proprietary forks and such.

To me, that’s just one less freedom.

Bring back Konqueror too while at it!

Edit: Apparently it still exists, it just isn’t the default on any mainstream distros anymore

Odoo actually. You more or less can’t use all the features, there’s too many. That doesn’t mean it’s the best ERP, it just tries to be a true generalist, which means it needs lots of customizations usually.

Yeah, the requirements should also be clear - or at least clear before any sort of implementation starts. Defining the requirements is a large part of what our consultants do and the more experienced ones know how to ask questions to get perspectives of people other than the “stars”. Takes months usually to get things to where us developers can get started on anything. We’ve built some hella cool shit for some customers but then you look at the git history and realize that it took the customer over a YEAR to go live. They must’ve easily invested six figures getting this ERP just right for their needs. Automatic imports from other software they use, lots of customizations, including some brand new in-erp apps. They’re loving it so far. But you don’t get this without considering a bunch of people’s needs.

at this point everyone knows

Yea I reckon most people don’t know. Terminally online people know. In your average household, Amazon is prolly considered trustworthy.

Something something when old men plant trees whose shade they knew they won’t sit in

Such a simple quote, yet so much wisdom.

It’s because you’re supposed to customize them, not use as-is. We’ve had a lot of happy customers. Some send us gifts! But for the first year or maybe even couple of years, you probably pay more to your partner for implementation, customizations and advice than to the ERP developer for licensing.

ERPs aren’t for every company, different ERPs work best for different companies and different partners themselves have their own specializations. The one I work through (used to work for, but now I have my own company and just contract for them), does small to medium sized production companies. Think 5-200 employees usually. The ERP we work with is meant to cover every imaginable use case - which is why it doesn’t have enough depth. We add a bunch of stuff that isn’t there OOTB, sometimes remove things in default modules, etc.

But first you NEED an ERP partner to make the most of it. At ours the CEO is also the biggest salesman. He’s not afraid to tell you if he doesn’t think it’s a good fit. A bad partner will still try to sell you and that’s going to end up in disappointment for everyone.

I picked the wrong week to quit methamphetamines.

Caffeine tablets it is then… Oh wait I bet those are going to be affected too. Fun times

Not for president Musk.

If he’s under investigation there, he’ll probably never visit Canada again.

It might also surprise you to learn that Dacia is actually a large French conglomerate.

They’ve been fully owned by Renault for more than two decades.

They might but only if they’re building something new for their entire range.

Newer LED headlights are often matrix headlights. See the entire road like you’ve got high beams on, except the oncoming car’s area is dark. Best of both worlds if implemented well enough. You can still turn off the high beams so that if the system stops malfunctioning, you have something equivalent to normal LED low beams.

It’s not just cover, it’s a downright genius distraction.
