I just received information by my city today that a rather big street close to me will be completely reworked. All street side parking spaces will be removed to make space for larger cycling and pedestrian paths. In the same mail there was information about extended fixed station car-sharing offerings, for those times when you actually need a car. There is always one in comfortable walking distance.

See? It's no so hard. People voted for this and now they're getting it. I love my town.

I bought a nice sweater from the ESA merch store and now I'm looking for more euro-centric apparel. Give me your recommendations, it can be from any EU country and doesn't have to be state sponsored, but it should be official, no bootlegging. I'm really open to a wide variety of suggestions. European companies, institutions, even will known brands, if it's clearly European I'm interested.

I recently discovered hledger and setup importing for all my accounts over the course of a weekend. The clarity is amazing and it's changing how I view my finances.

All that's missing is a community around this fantastic tool, since it's got incredible depth. So here it is!

I always hear the ai companies clamoring for gigawatts of "compute" so they can finally "grow" due to the immense "demand". But somehow people can just start up clawbot and burn through millions of tokens just fine, I never hear about anyone being denied access to LLM usage. The same for businesses, they're being sold ai crap left and right and there is never a bottleneck or a queue. In fact, there seems to be plenty of "compute" to go around, far more than needed, really.

Has this ever been pointed out to the ai CEOs? Has this been discussed or explained?

From the Wikipedia page about elections in 1933 Germany:

The resources of big business and the state were thrown behind the Nazis' campaign to achieve saturation coverage all over Germany. Brownshirts and SS patrolled and marched menacingly through the streets of cities and towns. A "combination of terror, repression and propaganda was mobilized in every... community, large and small, across the land".[1]: 339  Irene von Goetz wrote, "In a decree issued on 17 February 1933, Göring ordered the Prussian police force to make unrestrained use of firearms in operations against political opponents (the so-called Schießerlass, or shooting decree)".[4]

To ensure a Nazi majority in the vote, Nazi organisations also "monitored" the vote process. In Prussia, 50,000 members of the SS, SA and Der Stahlhelm were ordered to monitor the votes as so-called deputy sheriffs or auxiliary police (Hilfspolizei) in another decree by acting Interior Minister Hermann Göring.[4]

Does this remind you of anything? Anything at all? See you in November.
