I guess I was much more attracted by the xerox machine, the automatic transmission and, most of all, the self-constructing crane. For primary school me, the crane was REAL genius. 020

werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 10/09/2026All these things were at some point considered a joke, bad quality products made by amateurs who should know better. While LLMs are a technology that requires billions of investment upfront, so lone wide-eyed enthusiasts can only be users, not creators. Kinda the opposite... 010
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Impressive, but when you realize that it's less than 1 μJ per shot the awe deflates a bit :) 100
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 28/08/2026... I don't get it for Italians there is a very obvious reference, but I'm pretty sure nobody else has heard of it. Who else did crime in a Fiat Uno? 000
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 20/08/2026meanwhile, we thought Italian professors were behind the times with their oral exams, and if fact they were so far ahead we couldn't imagine 030
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 10/08/2026To be fair, a movie crew manager was one of the best possible users for those PDA thingies that existed for a few years pre-iPhone. Still threw me off for a bit 230

werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Also, to be honest, everybody had Chernobyl on their mind when he came up with the idea, but these days a runaway criticality is probably much lower down the list of possible serious accidents, compared to e.g. failing to remove decay heat (like in Fukushima) 000

Land is cheaper in the US I guess.. but the original post is about Switzerland, where it certainly isn't! 110
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 12/07/2026My country was 50% solar powered today at noon (granted, it's sunday) and 60% of our solar panels are in small to medium rooftop installations, so I don't see why you're so neagative on midsize systems :) 110

werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 28/06/2026> Big over the top spectacle is shit we’re good at as a country. At the 2015 Expo in Italy (just that sort of over the top event) getting off the escalator of the US pavilion you were welcomed by a life-size video of Obama. I still remember laughing and thinking "nobody does this shit like them" 080
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Considering that Meloni managed to lead one of the longest administrations in Italian history and do *absolutely nothing*, it's actually brilliant!

werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 22/05/2026It's the tried and true sports/action plot structure used by many other works (e.g. hundreds of manga). The same characters could be basketball players and the movie would still work. 000
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 12/05/2026That's why his legacy is much more positive in e.g. Italy. We got all the benefits (modernization in culture and law) with very little of the downsides (no long wars against France, unlike the brits, and he only briefly ruled parts of Italy before going off to Russia to get mauled...) 070
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Some arguments that were very specifically about San Francisco get repeated blindly in contexts that are nothing alike (Unfortunately very common!

werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I also lived in county Durham. When I got the job offer and looked up the place on a map, immediately I tought about Ken Loach movies, then said "silly me, that was 30 years ago, surely everything has changed now". Then I got there and... no, you can still tell, easily. (I had a good time anyway) 100
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 09/05/2026That would complete the Italianization of UK politics: it would be just like every "PD + assorted leftwingers" coalition. (Do't be afraid, there are worse fates ;) 010
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Also that persona had already been built for him! The press loved him in 2015, including the center left press. He just had to play along and not fuck it up! 010
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I would tell you to go to "La Ratera" for both the eating and the drinking, to see a "real place"... but it might be "real" enough that you'll need to rely on the younger waiters and/or google translate ^^ (It started as a beer place, still is, now has fairly inventive dishes... with beer in them) 010

werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Games download bigger patches like it's nothing. Also isn't it better to have features like phishing detection (the only one that the post describes clearly!) on the local device, instead of sending navigation data to a cloud service? 100
werner58.bsky.social @werner58.bsky.social · 05/05/2026...ok, but what does it do? Pages and pages about Google pushing a big-ish update, almost nothing about the purpose, and the little info is in there seems benign. 200
