Is it good when your most important regional express trains are all around 50% punctual. Oh Germany, it is very sad how the railways have collapsed since Covid
Ich hab mal die Pünktlichkeit der wichtigsten Regional-Express-Linien in Nordrhein-Westfalen aus dem SPNV-Qualitätsmonitor gezogen und über die Jahre dargestellt. Schwellenwert ist in NRW übrigens 3:59 Minuten, ab wann ein Zug als unpünktlich gilt.
Schon eine traurige Entwicklung...

Dear Alberto, It is a little odd for me, a blogger and campaigner, to be writing an open letter to you as Executive Director of Community of European Railways (CER). But the combination of circumstanc...

A machine that can spit out bear perfect prose but without thought behind it, is perfect for a lot of coding tasks, but doesn’t really have the ability to solve other tasks. Words have to mean something to be useful, and LLMs don’t actually create useful insights
