Can E trucks help to accelerate the shift to a greener mobility? We see that more and more customers are asking logistic companies for a way to decarbonize delivery of their goods. Sustainable and forward thinking players like Hammer GmbH & Co. KG are therefore openly seeking innovation in field testing E trucks together with PEM RWTH Aachen University, Park Your Truck GmbH and other players. Still facing a lot of challenges like the lacking charging infrastructure, they are digging into smart route planning as well as into alternative charging solutions in order to fight range anxiety. VoltVogel was part of the journey in order to provide convenient and sustainable charging. Even though designed for passenger cars, connecting the dots between charging needs for trucks and mobile solutions create new ideas. Take aways for me personally (as a newbie to the truck scene): - Most trucks can only go 60 / 80 km/h, no matter if EV or combust engine - Trucks have standardized their charging ports, but the problem arises with the immense energy demand if multiple trucks want to charge at the same time - Truck drivers have a challenging job - they shouldn´t have to worry about where to charge after their hours driving are done- let´s find convenient solutions for them! Thanks for this opportunity!

Excellent insights from Thilo Wallenstein and Sven Vögele, my AlixPartners colleagues and supply chain experts, on the evolving dynamics in the DACH region. This study reveals how geopolitical uncertainties and rising costs are driving DACH companies to rethink their strategy regarding China. Nearshoring is on the rise, but China remains crucial, requiring a hybrid strategy to balance risks and opportunities. Check out the video for more on how production site decisions will shape the future of supply chains in the region #WhenItReallyMatters

This is an interesting study, also well readable by non-quantum physicists. The energy industry offers a lot of potential for applications of quantum computing. Furthermore will quantum computing also help to reduce today's huge energy consumption of AI algorithms.

And once again Dr. Markus Söder is moaning and complaining about how mean everyone is to Bavaria, and the Greens are all stupid anyway. Unfortunately Mr Söder has a very short memory, as he made his own financial support for Lilium dependent on the federal government's commitment. So let's be clear: Bavaria will only pay if the federal government pays. If the Prime Minister thinks his toy is so important, so disruptive, then Bavaria could have doubled its share, i.e. also taken on the federal government's contribution. If the company is as great as Hubert Aiwanger says, then it should be a safe investment. And it won't fail because of the availability of 50 million euros from the Bavarian state budget. But neither Markus nor his buddy Aiwanger come up with such an idea out of sheer hypocrisy. Why is that? If you pay the entire sum yourself, then you would be the only stupid person in the room if it fails. Who should you blame then? Yourself? These two buddies are already busy enough praising themselves through alternative accounts... Bavaria already has to manage the moon mission, Transrapid, Hyperloop, Wirecard and the Max Bögl toy train. At some point, even the best Christlich-Soziale Union buddies will run out of funding... Now that the federal government has said no, they can save 50 million and pass the buck to the Greens, can things go better? By the way, what has Lilium delivered so far? https://lnkd.in/eUmRCaAY The single-seater was developed from 2015 onwards. The unmanned first flight of a two-seater prototype took place on April 20, 2017 at the Oberpfaffenhofen airfield near Munich. On May 4, 2019, the five-seater prototype of the Lilium Jet took off from the ground for about 40 seconds for the first time. It was presented to the public a short time later. The market launch with a 7-seater, originally planned for 2024, was postponed to 2025 in March 2022. A 16-seater is also already planned. In February 2024, the delivery of the first jets was postponed to mid-2026. So just constant postponements, OK.... Here a nice assessments of feasibility https://lnkd.in/eqBEXEKs Well, in short: lots of promises, zero results. And that's what Söder and co are promoting. Couldn't the statement also apply to Mr Söder himself? Or the CSU/FDP transport minister? Wait a moment... That's exactly why the company is a PERFECT fit for Markus Söder.

🌟 Reflecting on the Lamarr Conference: Insights into the Evolution of Large Language Models 🌟 I’m excited to share my recent experience at the Lamarr Conference, where I had the opportunity to dive deep into the rapidly evolving field of Large Language Models (#LLMs). The conference featured a range of enlightening sessions and discussions that showcased the latest advancements and research in this transformative area of artificial intelligence. The presentations highlighted several key trends and innovations like Advancements in Model Architecture through Cutting-edge research on enhancing LLM architectures for improved efficiency and performance. One of the most thought-provoking sessions focused on #GenAI and #XAI , which promises to open new avenues for exploration and application. A big thank you to the conference organisers, speakers, and fellow attendees for a stimulating and insightful experience. I look forward to integrating these insights into my work and continuing to explore the evolving landscape of LLMs. If you’re passionate about AI and LLMs, let’s connect and discuss the future of this exciting field! #LamarrConference #LargeLanguageModels #AIResearch #MachineLearning #EthicsInAI #Innovation #TechnologyTrends #Conference2024

Simply explained: #iPEN is an AppStore for DSOs - gives access to solutions that streamline their processes and make their grid ready for the #energytransition. Solutions that, for example, make grid connection, monitoring or inspection much easier than before thanks to greater transparency and automation. Data and AI are a cornerstone in making this possible.
