And here is my Mini Cabin for the night. I have already used one of these once so I roughly knew how to configure it and where to stow all my stuff.

We are already 25 minutes late, haven’t departed yet. But I don’t mind, I am staying tomorrow and a night in Hamburg anyway.

A German speaking man in a nearby cabin was very upset that he could hear me eating crisps while the train was standing still at the station. I wonder whether he expects the journey during the night to be very quiet? Sigh. Maybe he should stick to day trains, or use earplugs. Luckily I am not kind of person who lets people like that spoil my trip.
(Actually it was a woman. But I didn’t want to say that at first so that you don’t think I am being misogynistic.)
She asked the staff for another cabin and now she is complaining loudly a few cabins away about the noises there. And no, I have not eaten any crisps in the meantime. Let’s hope she doesn’t carry any weapons.
I would say she is German, not Swiss.

And we arrived in Hamburg four minutes before schedule. This was quite a good connection, I think. In 24 h 25 min from the French-Spanish border to Hamburg. Seven trains. Sure, the average speed is not that impressive, and there could be longer direct trains, but still. Changing trains is nothing to be afraid of. #Interrail

Even using high-speed trains as much as possible, it couldn’t necessarily have been done in just daytime, I think. (It can, now, see my reply.) Then I would have had to go through Paris, which is a bit of a pain. You have to change between stations using the Métro. But then I would have arrived in Hamburg in the wee hours of the night.

But in the new timetable that has started today (Happy New Year everyone!), it is possible to do it and arrive before midnight. At least on weekdays. But as mentioned, it includes changing between stations in Paris.

And note that I took it as a challenge to manage without going through Paris and without mandatory reservations. Well, except for the night train, of course.
I did also not attach any name tags to my luggage in France. (I would if I had remembered to take suitable tags with me.) I cannot recommend following this example though. You might be fined. At least on TGVs.

@tml having just returned from Japan & South Korea, I have seen what is possible and it makes me sad we don't invest in very high speed train networks in Europe. I love train travel compared to flying, but as a regular traveller from London to Copenhagen, being unable to do it without overnight travel makes it very impractical.

"By comparison, at least, the way the Chinese government speaks about AI is more modest. Yes, China’s economic leadership views AI as a priority and has boldly claimed it seeks to lead the world by 2030. Yet the rhetoric lacks the eschatological tone common in Silicon Valley. Chinese economic planners appear more interested in AI as a tool for industrial processes than as a means of creating a superintelligence that will reach the singularity. The State Council’s 2025 “AI+” initiative is focused entirely on efficiency-enhancing applications rather than intelligence explosions.
There is another important difference. China is banking far more heavily on simpler, lower-cost open-source AI models. In the US, most of the leading “frontier” AI models are secret and proprietary, in part as a business model and in part due to the apocryphal fears that the wrong actors could trigger human extinction. The smaller, lower-cost Chinese models may be seeking, in that sense, to be the more nimble 1970s Toyota rivals to the giant American cars produced by General Motors.
More importantly, China is hedging its bets by investing heavily in a wide range of other technologies that might reasonably be described as “the future”. In 2024, the country invested an estimated $940bn in clean-energy capex, broadly defined as renewables, electricity grids and energy storage (batteries), dwarfing its AI investments. In these sectors, AI is meant to be a complement — the glue rather than the structure.
While China’s overall economy remains weaker than it was in the 2010s, elements of this broader strategy seem to be bearing fruit."

Perchè ci sono degli spostati mentali che casualmente si trovano al governo di nazioni, con desideri imperialisti.Quindi so che sarebbe meglio costruire scuole e ospedali con i soldi delle armi, ma se poi vengono bombardati son soldi spesi male... Un aeroplanino in questo mondo è investimento necessario.
Come dire che sarebbe bello se potessimo spendere invece che stipendi per poliziotti, in insegnanti.
Ma della polizia c'è bisogno.

ho l'età per cui da femmina niente leva. Ma ho sempre ritenuto la leva come un posto infelice, inutile se non dannosa per alcuni. Io propongo come già fatto da altri in questo toot un periodo di servizio civile per tutti. Magari breve, tipo 6 mesi, lo troverei formativo e utile per lo sviluppo della persona e per la collettività. Non concordo con il "armati in nome della pace". I militari siano i professionisti che abbracciano questa carriera.

I miei ieri hanno fatto 51 anni di matrimonio. Secondo mia madre la base di questa riuscita e passare il tempo a far sentire in colpa mio padre. E mio padre ci casca da 50 anni e mezzo, Le do di bonus 6 mesi a mia madre ma sono ottimista. Visto il risultato chi sono io per contestare il metodo.
