Have you tried https://chatjimmy.ai/ it’s only a demo but it blew my mind. I had the sudden feeling that this is the future.

They also own Komoot and I am anxiously awaiting the enshittification.

As of now my use cases still work and it certainly helped that I bought the lifetime all-world map package.

New comment by lhoff in "New arXiv policy: 1-year ban for hallucinated references"

lhoff — Fri, 15 May 2026 07:40:02 +0000

I assume they won’t ban anyone automatically without a way to object. Using your example, i wouldn’t assume they would enforce the ban if you object and explain your typo and if the corrected citation actually says what you cited. Mistakes like these are explainable a completely hallucinated citation is usually not.

Yes. They record almost every talk. You’ll find the relive (unedited recording of the live stream) on https://media.ccc.de and some time later the edited recording also on media.ccc.de and also on YouTube. There also also live translations to English (and some other languages) for talks in german.

It depends. There is not one Swiss German but multiple subdialects. The language spoke around the Bern region very far away from German while the one from Zürich or Basel is much closer. Since there is no official written from they never really converged to a homogeneous language.

Looks interesting, especially that use case. May I ask which headphone you are using? I have the older openmove from shokzs and voice isn't really understandable while riding a bike.

I had a DVD Burner in my self build PC and discovered a year ago that it wasn’t plugged in and that it must have been like this for years. That was the moment I decided it’s time to remove it.

VW still builds and sells Diesel engines in its Cars. For Volkswagen and Skoda the share of diesel cars was about 30% in Germany. Source (only in German and behind paywall, sorry) https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/468422/umfrag...

That exists. There are multiple vendors that have solutions to automatically transform COBOL code.

Deloitte, for example, has quite a big practice around Mainframe modernization with a toolsuite https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/consulting/topics/appl...

And AWS bought a company with such a toolsuite and offers it now as a service https://aws.amazon.com/de/mainframe-modernization/capabiliti...

A friend of mine works for a Management Consultancy firm and they have full flex tickets if they miss the 8pm flight home they can take the next one or fly back the next morning. All without additional fees. So I believe business travel is the biggest factor when it comes to missed flights.

Side note: His employer is the biggest client of a major European airline.
