McLaren lost out on the opportunity to win in Qatar due to an alternative strategy, allowing Max Verstappen to capitalise and improve to P2 in the Standings.
With a brilliant win in Qatar under his belt, Max Verstappen is now just 12 points behind Lando Norris in the Drivers' Championship standings.
LUSAIL (ANP) - Max Verstappen won de Grote Prijs van Qatar niet omdat hij de snelste auto had, maar omdat hij voor de beste strategie koos. "Op pure snelheid kom ik tekort op de McLarens, maar dit soort races laat zien dat je met de juiste tactiek ook kunt winnen. Een race verloopt niet altijd als vooraf gedacht, er kan veel gebeuren", zei de viervoudig wereldkampioen van Red Bull in de persconferentie na afloop.
"Het was een slimme zet om die pitstop te maken zodra die safetycar in de baan kwam. Het verraste mij dat de McLarens niet naar binnen kwamen, maar op dat moment wist ik wel dat ik een hele goede kans had om te winnen."
Verstappen won op de woestijnbaan van Lusail voor de zevende keer dit jaar. Hij boekte de zeventigste GP-zege in zijn Formule 1-carrière en vergrootte zijn kans om voor de vijfde keer wereldkampioen te worden. Zijn achterstand op kampioenschapsleider Lando Norris is geslonken tot 12 punten.
In de nieuwbouwwijk Spuifront in Oud-Beijerland werd begin 2024 een brug geplaatst, die nooit in gebruik werd genomen. Het loopgedeelte was namelijk te steil. Nu de brug aan de steilste kant een trap heeft gekregen, kunnen de bewoners eindelijk oversteken.

Un altro giorno che scorre, un altro treno che si riempie. Nessun evento speciale: solo persone che vanno, vengono, si incastrano nel ritmo della loro routine. È qui che il Giappone mi colpisce di più — nel movimento costante, nelle piccole attese davanti a una porta che si apre e si chiude senza sosta.
また一日が流れ、また電車が満員になっていく。特別なことは何もない。ただ、人々が行き来し、いつものリズムに身を任せている。日本を強く感じるのは、こういう瞬間だ。絶えず開いて閉じていく扉の前に生まれる、ほんの小さな“間”の中で。
Another day, another train filling up. Nothing special happening — just people moving in and out, slipping into the rhythm of their routine. This is where Japan hits me the most: in the constant motion, in these small pauses in front of doors that never stop opening and closing.

"Amazon suggested its engineers eschew AI code generation tools from third-party companies in favor of its own ," reports Reuters, "a move to bolster its proprietary Kiro service, which it released in July, according to an internal memo viewed by Reuters."
In the memo, posted to Amazon's internal news site, the company said, "While we continue to support existing tools in use today, we do not plan to support additional third party, AI development tools.
"As part of our builder community, you all play a critical role shaping these products and we use your feedback to aggressively improve them," according to the memo.
The guidance would seem to preclude Amazon employees from using other popular software coding tools like OpenAI's Codex, Anthropic's Claude Code, and those from startup Cursor. That is despite Amazon having invested about $8 billion into Anthropic and reaching a seven-year $38 billion deal with OpenAI to sell it cloud-computing services..."To make these experiences truly exceptional, we need your help," according to the memo, which was signed by Peter DeSantis, senior vice president of AWS utility computing, and Dave Treadwell, senior vice president of eCommerce Foundation. "We're making Kiro our recommended AI-native development tool for Amazon...."
In October, Amazon revised its internal guidance for OpenAI's Codex to "Do Not Use" following a roughly six month assessment, according to a memo reviewed by Reuters. And Claude Code was briefly designated as "Do Not Use," before that was reversed following a reporter inquiry at the time.
The article adds that Amazon "has been fighting a reputation that it is trailing competitors in development of AI tools as rivals like OpenAI and Google speed ahead..."
