I will add Claudish robolect into my language immediately, thank you.

Surprising somehow, to me. One would imagine Apple could make a good amount of money by selling storage and thoughts-off safety for normies? And catch up to what Google offered like then years ago already with ChromeOS.

I don't want to doxx myself, but they don't put anything on the departure display anymore. So the train that comes at some point, after 5, 10 minutes, which train is it? Impossible to tell. I just factor it in.

I also hear the same from others riding the busy lines inside of the city. I think it's due to the amount of people getting in/off during the high traffic times, but still, many trains are late 5 out of 7 days at the minimum.

I'm not sure if most people know but you need to distinguish between two kinds of trains here.

The Shinkansen system is rarely late, that is true. Part of the reason for that is that they are running on their own, isolated tracks. Downside here is that they are quite expensive. Flights between, let's say Tokyo and Osaka, are often faster and cheaper.

The trains that normal people take every day to get to work, are, depending on city and line/owner of course, partially late every single day during rush hour. They don't even show the time or kind of the next train that will come.

The commuters of course know this and just leave the house a bit earlier, so in practice it's not a huge problem.

Depending on the measurement method and your method of calibration, I'd assume "slightly below atmospheric" is probably just atmospheric. Funnily enough, more CO2 in the blood can actually increase athletic performance and resilience against it is also helping with that. I just open my windows though from time to time.

Wildest article I've read in a while.

That's what I've been saying for some time now... "No one really wants AI! They want their software to be faster or better, but do they care if the people in the background of the image have been removed by AI or not?" And in fact they don't.

Managers think they want AI but they actually want their people to work faster or better. Higher managers think they want AI so they can save money, or at least not fall behind the competitors, if those were to use AI to get an advantage.

Companies making software think they want AI because their competitors are using it, and they think the users want AI so the software can be perceived as modern, not falling behind.

And so on, and so on... other than Nvidia, openAI, Anthropic, etc, no one really wants AI.

I tried it out and it is a lot of fun! Still evolving, still getting developed.

Ahh I see. Yeah there are still many problems with "connected" bikes like this that are easier solved with a hardware hack!

Nice article and hack! Two things are confusing me here though:

If this is a VanMoof, I believe they were sold in Japan and even had a Store in Shibuya

Secondly, they were bankrupt, but to my knowledge were bought and is therefore still (again?) in business.
