We do have self driving trains! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_driverless_train_syste... however I think the ask of ‘all’ trains to be self driving is sadly still a while away yet

Interesting timing for this to appear, I've just started reading The Grand Tour (https://www.agathachristie.com/stories/the-grand-tour), from the blurb: "With a ten-month itinerary that would take her across South Africa, New Zealand, Hawaii and Canada, The Grand Tour is a unique record of Agatha Christie's round-the-world journey of 1922, told through her extensive and lively letters home to her mother."
So far I can confirm her letters to her mother are every bit as entertaining as her mainline literary work. It is absolutely crazy to me that she had this opportunity in 1922!

There actually seem to be 4 separate proposals right now, maybe another was just added?
Proposal D is "Accept AI contributions for Debian specific work"

I noticed that previous post is from a couple of months ago, and it looks like about a week ago they posted a project update and they claim for their current prototype: "We are successfully printing in both black and full color." https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer/updates/...
Of course I have no way of verifying either way. Still I do think the project looks quite interesting, I'm in the market for a printer and this is certainly the most interesting one I've seen in a while.

Interesting, captcha used to be entirely in browser but I've seen a bunch of 'scan this qr with your phone' ones lately that left me vaguely uneasy. I think this post clarifies my uneasiness, it's not good to train people that they can complete captcha via external apps.

My local library has a few interesting things like this including a podcast kit (i.e. professional microphones and mixers) you can book in conjunction with a room booking and also a thermal imaging camera you can check out to "identify energy efficiency in the home by finding gaps in insulation, comparing the performance of different walls and rooms in the home, finding air leaks and identifying water leaks or damp issues". I approve wholeheartedly of these and similar initiatives.

I don't mind https://matthartman.github.io/ghost-pepper/ however I do really want speaker recognition which it does have but I haven't been able to get it working.

Hadn't really heard of SGI too much, going down the rabbit hole I thought this snippet from the Wikipedia page was especially interesting
"For eight consecutive years (1995–2002), all films nominated for an Academy Award for Distinguished Achievement in Visual Effects were created on Silicon Graphics computer systems"
