  • I travelled with DB to enjoy the 2022 9-€ Ticket. The cross-border train ČD drove into Germany got stopped in the first city and got cancelled because it "didn't meet standards". I mean, it was missing a car, there was no AC, it was super loud and crowded, but it was a train and went on time. DB's replacement was literally nothing so I was stuck waiting in Schwandorf for an hour. This happens dozens of times every year.

    Meanwhile, my trip last year was an orderly experience, probably because I went through former East Germany via Dresden instead. Communists did a lot of bad shit but they understood the power of trains (and streetcars).

  • Poor deaf kids. Not because they're being held captive but because they're relying on shitty automatic captions.
    For example, Czech was only added very recently and the captions really suck, they change the meaning of most sentences and even include spelling errors.

    Everyone making scripted videos should at least:

    1. go through their script to convert it into a transcript (match what's actually been said – looking at you CGP Grey – and remove visual cues)
    2. upload it for YouTube's auto-timing (which is not perfect but we'll take it)

    Too bad the FCC's captioning act is toothless, even TV stations (like HBO) uploading their content to YouTube don't bother importing captions even though they're legally required to.

  • My grandma was a disabled stay-at-home mom with a hyperactive daughter who tended to run away and wreak havoc, and all the police would soon know who to return her to. Grandma was scolded by neighbors for using a leash but able to explain herself. This was in 1970s Czechoslovakia.

  • They can produce an unlimited number of CGI challenges and know what is correct so collecting AI training data only makes sense for classifying images from the real world. Even then, Google's reCaptcha checks if you're consistent with other users so you're unlikely to pass with a random answer.

  • It's now believed that he altered the data, since they fit the 1:3 ratios way too well for populations where each has a ¼ probability. Still, very good work considering he might not have heard of the scientific method.

  • Also, they were considered "lewd". And now we know that the genetics of rats is way too complex for him to spot any patterns.

    He also attempted to study bees but they were nasty, and he didn't know that they mate while flying, rendering his breeding attempts fruitless.

  • There's Bluetooth and USB (with Ghirehtet over ADB or external wireless/Ethernet card) that you can use to make a Wi-Fi internet hotspot without mobile data. Also, you could NOT connect to the internet and use LAN-based apps (KDE Connect, network printers) without extra hardware in a pinch, or just broadcast an SSID in a public space for fun.
