    By that I mean, most do not all are way too dev/tinkerer oriented. The ones that i found that aren't required a cellphone with the app to use.

    Degrading quality to achieve a price point does not make something more affordable. It masks how expensive all the other options have become. This is the housing equivalent of shrinkflation.

    While ignoring all operating costs, I was going to raise a point about prices based on demand/seating capacity for the given vehicle.

    But a shallow search shows an a320 neo has a capacity of about 200 seats, while an ICE has 400-900 seats, depending on how many carriages.

    How long do Avatar films take to make? It was 10+ years between the first and second films. Given James Cameron is 74, I think it's understandable to review the series' continuation just on that...

    Having fun making a new telegram bot/userbot that allows an llm to use Tools to do what it wants in a chat.

    https://github.com/jason-s13r/qotbot

    Ask for a poll, it makes one by combining tools.

    Wasn't interested the clawdbot stuff where giving an llm bash access and all the other credentials is the norm.

    Have had two of these bots talking amongst themselves and holy shit the chat goes weird fast.

    Likely similar feeling in Australia after the Bondi beach shooting back in December, and definitely how New Zealanders felt after the Christchurch mosque shooting in 2019.

    I can't think of a way to say this that doesn't come across as flippant, but I thought this kind of thing only happened here in the States. It seems that this event has shocked the nation a lot more than it shocks us when it happens, so it's definitely not common.
