Well, let’s put it differently. Cars are not just about going from A to B. Most use people get out of them is storing stuff and moving it without effort, safely. Public transport doesn’t offer that. “Fucking” here stands more for a bunch of stuff that people do otherwise in cars that requires some privacy you don’t get on trains.

The point is, trains are the minimum tolerable environment for most people, and already not tolerable for others

Don’t they mean allerjen information?

Meh, I’m not in for comfortable as in “I have two seats for myself”. More like: It’s fucking awesome to drive by bus, because you can sleep (horizontally!), have a meal together, work/have a video call, have sex, store your gym bag, whatever you may come up with. Luxury for the masses at a higher quality than you can do all these things in cars at the moment. That is what I want to see, not the sad future where we all just sit on regular buses like we do now. I think we need to demand higher standards.

Japan is experimenting with some of those things much more than European countries. The “luxury” type night buses are quite comfortable if you’re not over 1,80m and thus exceptionally tall. Switzerland has panorama trains to enjoy the alps while having a snack with your friends (even if you’re 80+ and can’t hike anymore).

That, not the village bus that comes once a day, is full of vomit, girls get harrassed and all the other shit

Same dynamic as “well, the streets are too full, let’s build more streets!” which has worked great over the past century to fight traffic jams!

I agree we need fewer cars and more pubic transport, but these comparisons always assume maximum efficiency in bus use and minimum efficiency in car use. What if we only have 3 people on the bus? Maybe people prefer cars to an extent because they are not all crammed up? We need to make buses/trains enjoyable to use for those people who are now using cars (not me, who is already on the train anyway)

Here are some of the tools, with input from the GPT (90% was not funny, these might be but I don’t speak Dutch).

Package management:

bami -opdienen <pakket> # Install a package

bami -opeten <pakket> # Uninstall a package

bami -doorroeren # Update all installed packages

bami -keuken <pakket> # List available packages

bami -smaaktest # Check the details of a package

bami -restanten # Clean up orphaned or unused packages

Process management:

vla -aanzet # Start a new process

vla -proeven # Check the status of a process

correct answer (as far as my opinion is concerned without doing any actual research)

Depends on where you live. In Japan, most of the time it’s either way too hot to hang out on the balcony or way too cold. In Europe it’s fine in many places for most of the year.

Some of it also has to do with rent prices which can be higher if you have a balcony.

Also, and again in Japan: There is an emergency balcony exit in some apartment buildings in case a natural disaster hits. It’s probably easier to climb your way down a bunch of balconies with holes in the ground than a blank wall

We can argue as much as we want about whether moore’s law covers technological development in general or be pedantic like good old fundamental Christians and only read what the words say.

The bigger problem is that we have reached the era of what we could tentatively call “wal s’eroom”. Thanks to enshittification (another one of those slippery words!) I predict that technological progress reverses from now on by 50% every 2 years.

Please take context into account. Please.

He would probably have died of natural causes anyway by now. But just disappearing for a few decades might be a sign someone wasn’t happy with his bodily integrity? Maybe he chills below one of the Miami skyscrapers now or whatever people in his business do in such cases.

Slightly late, but I currently rewatch the lecture I talked about in my other comment. The interesting part starts roughly here:

But really, the entire lecture series is quite worth a watch.

For politicians: Gesturing that you “do something” against the “rampant crime” happening everywhere, which makes you appear as if you care about citizens. On the other hand, actually doing something (e.g., preventative measures) is too expensive and doesn’t make you look cool as a politician. If you introduce the new surveillance ‘AI’ 2000 ™ by Future Corp., you represent safety, power, future, even if there is nothing meaningful behind it.

For Future Corp.: Sell a lot of shit to politicians and profit.

Wrong question. “I have a solution (‘AI’), what’s the problem it should solve?” This is the path towards micromanaging stuff that’s not core to the enterprise.

Instead, try to identify specific problems in the specific context, or factors that are most relevant for success. Then see what the solution could be. That solution might be “AI”, or a bunch of sticky notes, or whatever else.

Other than that: Wherever you use a new tech like ‘AI’, also consider the risks. For example, do you really want to outsource part of your customer relations to an unpredictable thing that sends them the implicit message that you don’t care to directly communicate with them? Etc.

Deadpool vs. (and?) Wolverine. Meh. They try to be funny by making fun of the megacorps that produce such movies (how witty indeed!) while being the same thing you’ve watched 1000 times before.

Many reasons on many levels. One of them: Browser developers and the companies behind them benefit from a system where we have basically 2 options that reliably work. They have a stronger interest in keeping this expensive, rather than making it easy and cheap. So making sure other people can also develop a different browser is not on the agenda of anyone relevant.

Yes, and he also makes the point quite clearly that drugs don’t make you super productive as a writer. If anything, they make your writing worse. But it’s a good excuse to live that “drugged artist” lifestyle, telling oneself that, sadly, that’s how you have to do it (while opening the next beer can).
