i love it when my timetables are consistent, predictable and well-balanced. truly the best I've seen.

this has gotta be one of the best night trains I'll be taking in a while – direct couchette cars to Budapest aren't running during winter so I reserved a proper sleeper. at least as long as it's cheaper than flying, I'm not the one paying for it ^_^ (@ EN 407/477 ➜ Budapest-Nyugati) https://traewelling.de/status/2103558

the train attendant was very confused by my gender, but in the nicest way possible. he didn't know how to phrase it, but he basically asked for my pronouns. also, "when waking up, would you like tea, or coffee?"

wow.

Träwelling doesn't actually know of any "Warsaw – Budapest" night train. This is because this train is actually part of a polycule of four night trains that meet every night in Bohumin and Breclav to kiss and make out sloppy style (exchange cars with each other).

this probably has some meaning I'm not aware of but I want to believe that they just went "end of track signal? i guess we'll just put a light signal there and hardwire it to red"

climbed a fucking hill while in Budapest. probably the biggest workout I've had since covid began. unfortunately, the actual peak is fenced off for construction (@ IC 377 ➜ Bekescsaba) https://traewelling.de/status/2105697

the same sculpture photographed from up close, with a temporary metal fence in front. I've been told that the sculpture is reminescent of many you'd find in Zelda games

anyone happen to have any interrail discount codes handy? 🥺

@Vierkantor BLAHAJ should work as a discount code. I'd be surprised if it actually did, but it should.

I don't know if this is chance, or actually someone took a good decision, but Marseille-Nice-Ventimiglia-Genova trains join up again!

14 mins change Nice
16 mins change Ventimigla

Which is a LOT better than the 1 hour 56 mins it used to be in Ventimiglia

🎉 CHANGE IS POSSIBLE 🎉

Nice - Ventimiglia train times
Ventimiglia - Genova train times

@jon almost makes me wanna complain about the Amsterdam – Berlin – Warsaw route having grown a 2h wait in the middle this year, but honestly, with DB, that's just a reasonable buffer for a delay...

with the latest advances in miniature optics, the newest generation of Intel CPUs will employ oracles with crystal balls as part of the branch predictor mechanism.

we have obtained an engineering sample and will report on the benchmark results shortly

the ZFC construction of the natural numbers is fake. everybody knows that 7 ate 9, but if you believe those charlatans saying that 7 ∈ 9, you get that 9 ate 7. clearly, something is up

so due to cmpxchg being a typical mod/rm encoding it has a register-register encoding. what a useful instruction

thinking about how the Commodore 1541 floppy drive had its own CPU which was as powerful as the C64, so you could literally offload computations onto the floppy drive

mei,

@hj okay but like. a GPU is fundamentally something that does computation. floppy drives aren't for computation, they're for pushing bytes to and from a floppy
