With the still rising numbers for the AfD, Germany has plenty of reasons to worry about fascism without bothering to bring in American politics. Not everything is about Trump.

Why should the Germans be more worried about AfD than the people who have been running the show for the last decades?

After all, they’re not the ones who have implemented disastrous policy one after another.


Because they make it pretty clear that they will be much worse.

padjo was explicitly talking of a leader (Führer).

The trains running on time “joke” is about Il Duce.

But yes, absolutely nothing to do with the US


which is what we got last time a hard-right antidemocratic party took power yes

The last time an antidemocratic (this time not hard-right) party took power in Germany was in the GDR with the SED party.

We got Honecker/Mielke out of that one, I guess.

I think it's only possible to understand German politics in two ways: either nobody in politics understands incentives, or they understand incentives much better than the voters and are fully exploiting this fact.

No need to place it anywhere on the incompetence/malice spectrum when it can be perfectly occamed with design by committee.

As an occasional ICE traveler, I can confirm the Wifi, I'm at the point where I don't even bother logging on to the free wifi but just use my phone hotspot. I'd guess it's dependent on the route; Berlin-Munich definitely has dropouts.

openrouter just gives you prompt in, result out in standard openai api format.

These projects are all a level above open router, they call the same standard APIs, or even custom ones and manage the translation. They do a lot more as well

ADK has an option to use litellm (openrouter alternative), among many options

This is not how LLMs work.

I kinda want to know what happens if you make it continue the line by one step 20 times in a row. A human can draw this gradually, the image model has to draw it in one shot all at once.

Your kid, it should be noted, has a massively bigger brain than the LLM. I think the surprising thing here maybe isn't that the vision models don't work well in corner cases but that they work at all.

Also my bet would be that video capable models are better at this.


> If making money on inference alone was possible, there would be a dozen different smaller providers who'd be taking the open weights models and offering that as service.

There are! Look through the provider list for some open model on https://openrouter.ai . For instance, DeepSeek 3.1 has a dozen providers. It would not make any sense to offer those below cost because you have neither moat nor branding.


It would not at all surprise me if corporations could have emotional states.

A huge part of the above-water corporate iceberg is the people and your interactions with them, so the company does take on a proxy "emotional signature" based on with whom you interact and the context of the situation. I don't see how a computer program trained on the human knowledge corpus does anything more than parrot observed behaviours without the backing biological systems. Mirroring pretty much the opposite of genuine emotion.

Claude might have an emotional signature that is all cuddly touchy-feely in an abstract, intangible, disembodied way. But.. Anthropic - as a corporation - will still have that deep, dark, insatiable desire to rape your wallet.

What's so special about those "backing biological systems"?

Bad news about ISPs... Really you want a RPi on solar power, attached to a longwave transmitter, and with direct peering agreements with all dominant global providers. Most well-connected rpi in existence.


Add that moon-bouncing thing that got popular last week. For redundancy.
