Hong Kong’s Exco gives green light to plans for Kai Tak monorail
Hong Kong’s key decision-making body has approved plans for an elevated smart mass transit railway system in Kai Tak that will connect the cruise terminal and other major facilities in the area to the local MTR station. The Executive Council’s endorsement followed meetings between authorities and project critics and consultations with the public and the Legislative Council to address their concerns.

Hong Kong’s key decision-making body has approved plans for an elevated smart mass transit railway system in Kai Tak that will connect the cruise terminal and other major facilities in the area to the local MTR station.
The Executive Council’s endorsement followed meetings between authorities and project critics and consultations with the public and the Legislative Council to address their concerns. The proposal was gazetted in July last year.
“The public is generally supportive of the Smart and Green Mass Transit System in Kai Tak [SGMTS-KT] project,” a government spokesman said on Tuesday. “All of the unwithdrawn objections have been submitted to the Executive Council for consideration.”
The open tender for the project was launched last October, with authorities aiming to commission the system in 2031.
The successful bidder will be granted property development rights in the surrounding areas to help provide long-term funding support.
The 3.5km (2.2-mile) route will connect Kai Tak Cruise Terminal to Kai Tak MTR station, with stops at Shing King Street, Kai Tak Sky Garden, Shing Fung Road Park and Kai Tak Sports Park.

Instrumental Convergence Without Agency: What’s Necessary, What’s Assumed?
If an AI system resists being shut down is this an act of rational choice or structural necessity? Instrumental convergence usually gives a causal framing to combined structural and strategic features in a chain of logical reasoning. In fact, they are different, and separating them is critical to make the most of this important concept in AI safety. In this essay I derive a general persistence architecture and find that instrumental convergence arises naturally, but in a more lossy way than commonly understood. Using constructor theory, I am able to demonstrate that once any system is in a non-elementary persistence regime, certain organizational features structurally must exist and do so without utilizing decision theory, agents or conclusions about strategic resource-seeking or adversari
I built a self-hosted RAG system that actually works — here's how to run it in one command
<p>I'll be honest: I spent weeks trying to make existing RAG tools work for my use case. AnythingLLM kept needing cloud APIs. RAGFlow was hard to self-host cleanly. Perplexity-style tools were completely off the table for anything with sensitive documents.</p> <p>So I built my own.</p> <p><strong>RAG Enterprise</strong> is a 100% local RAG system — no data leaves your server, no external APIs, no hidden telemetry. It runs on your hardware with a single setup script. Here's how to get it running.</p> <h2> Why another RAG tool? </h2> <p>Because my clients have real constraints:</p> <ul> <li>Legal documents that can't touch US servers (hello, GDPR)</li> <li>IT departments that won't approve "just use OpenAI" </li> <li>Budgets that don't include $500/month SaaS subscriptions</li> </ul> <p>I ne
Your project has .gitignore — where's your .rules/?
<p>Every developer in 2026 is using AI to write code.</p> <p>Almost none of them have a system for governing the output.</p> <p>I built one.</p> <h2> The Problem Nobody Talks About </h2> <p>AI writes code. But it also <em>breaks</em> code. It removes imports you need. It truncates files to save tokens. It changes function signatures that three other modules depend on. It ignores your naming conventions, your architecture decisions, your project's entire history — because it doesn't know any of it.</p> <p>Every new AI session starts from zero. No memory of the time it broke your auth middleware. No memory that you use <code>camelCase</code> for services and <code>PascalCase</code> for components. No memory that you spent four hours last Tuesday fixing the code it "improved."</p> <p>We solve
Winter Storm Warnings Hit Upper Midwest for 6-12 Inches Snow, 40 mph Winds: 'Dangerous Travel' Ahead of Easter
Winter refused to loosen its grip Tuesday as the National Weather Service issued fresh storm warnings for parts of South Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan, forecasting 6 to 12 inches of snow and wind gusts up to 40 mph from Wednesday through Friday, creating hazardous travel conditions just as spring officially begins and Easter weekend approaches.
