After reading a bit about shell on Wikipedia it seems they're quite experienced with greenwashing

In Denmark we have a bunch of weird ones: When there isn't a problem: "There is no cow on the ice"/ Der er ingen ko på isen

When you're helping someone when it would be better they did it themselves you're doing them "a bears favor" / en bjørnetjeneste

When you want it both ways but cant: "You want to blow with flour in your mouth" / blæse med mel i munden. This always made more sense to me than the english, you cant have your cake and eat it too.

When something is complete gibberish, it "sounds like volapyk" / lyder som volapyk. Volapyk is an actual made-up language like esperanto. incedentaly the same expression also exists in Esperanto

and i'm sure there is more

Det er så børn blevet nødt til at hoppe hvis de ikke skal træde på stregerne! Ej mere seriøst: Uden at vide noget som helst er min antagelse at det lokker folk til at gå i hver deres bane få trafik i begge retninger er mere naturligt. Og så er der sikkert også noget med at opdelingen giver plads til at fortovet kan rykke sig uden det revner. Men igen: det er rent gætværk

Generally the hope is that people naturally converge on one community and then the other would die out. Or maybe resurge if for some reason people don't like the first

Jeg havde ikke fanget at forslaget pålægger politiet at hindre handlingen. Det er vel rigtigt nok, som de skriver, lidt iffy ift. Grundloven.

I like the point about LLMs interpolating data while humans extrapolate. I think that's sums up a key difference in "learning". It's also an interesting point that we anthropomorphise ML models by using words such as learning or training, but I wonder if there are other better words to use. Fitting?

The way I think about it is that all the individual atoms of the wheel wants to move in a straight line. The only reason the wheel doesn't fall apart normally when it turns is that the material is strong enough to hold itself together. However as it spins faster and faster it requires more and more strength to keep itself together and at some point it moves so fast that the internal strength of the material is not strong enough to pull itself away from this straight line, which causes it to break.

Wait how? That's around 4 billion times 65k you have to try and make connections? I would assume it will at least take a day or two if you do it from scratch

So in conclusion, he liked it. Enough to turn up on his top 10 of the year list?

It's really annoying they haven't made an RCS API public. Do you know if they've made any statement as to why?

The article presents some good suggestions. It's pretty bonkers that taking the train across borders in Europe is more difficult and expensive than a plane
