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.

RIP, Wolfgang Kortzfleisch :(

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.

Read this article and agree on many of it's points. Have been here for some years now. If you've read just one of Patrick McKenzie / @patio11's articles on Japanese banking, you'll understand too.

I was gonna post the Muppets version too.

This used to be an issue, but downloading maps of Japan is possible these days.

Will take a look as well.

There are also reports of the network adapters keeping the Switch from going into the lowes power state, thus keeping it somewhat warm. I had the same reasons as above though to not buy an adapter: I buy new games only very infrequently, so wireless is good enough for me.

Both Organic Maps and OsmAnd are available on iOS as well.

Digital requires processing too. As far as I understand the light sensing silicon is kind of analog, but even after that the camera can't see color just yet. Huge amount of processing is involved.

There are also solid state LIDARs these days which involve no moving parts. Still use more power than radar though.

There's also https://openweathermap.org/api for weather. Really easy to use

I think dinner times can vary a lot, based on the cultures in each country/region. Meal times in general, I suppose.

I totally agree. The next step can be to remove most if not all notifications. If that's not enough yet, I think most phones can be switched to some kind of black-and-white-mode, which further cuts down on distractions. Never had your phone been more boring.

I am not a physicist but I was thinking this was mostly a topic for hydrogen storage. And it seems the article agrees here: "[...] most metals are relatively immune to hydrogen embrittlement at temperatures above 150 °C."

Are you perchance confusing ultrasonic sensors with front mounted radar? In general the collision avoidance systems use either camera or radar, or both. Some manufacturers are trying to add lidar into the mix these days. Ultrasonic sensors are in general just used for parking and don't last way further than maybe 2 meters.
