Thanks!

(Messed up my edit - I mean in physical development since 2023, not just renderings)

Well, you cannot assume ergonomics from renderings. That’s why we run extensive testing. We tested on a large range of people. In the pods there’s a fall off in perceived comfort around the 95th percentile. Even then, the feedback is overal

You start off by essentially claiming the unit economics of night trains being too poor compared to aviation is the largest hurdle, then finish off by claiming that unit economics are not that major issue. Our perspective is that with much

Yes, the bottle Beck for night trains is rolling stock. The plan is to initially target refurbished standard passenger couches. We have a large research and development consortium to develop the technology and adaptation of coaches. The ref

We considered connecting pods. The orientation „behind“ each other makes interaction difficult. They way this issue was „resolved“ more less naturally during testing is that the pods all have The same orientation, so pods across the aisle a

The „current“ concept is for refurbished standard passenger coaches, which is compatible everywhere in Europe except UK. The „long term“ concept is built around to be compatible with profiles UIC GB and G2, which work in most of Europe.

Yes, we’re connected with back on track! I’m a day-one member of the German branch. A bunch of their members came and participated in our tests. We’re participating in their night train conference in September in Berlin, probably bringing a

I sometimes her proposals like that, and it sounds kind of attractive - you get into your pod and forget everything until you arrive. But in a sense, night trains are already like that. Since they can stop at multiple places, you can depart

You yourself mention the trade off — the „sardine class“ is a six-people per cabin couchette (60 ppl per railcar). The private class is luxury (10-17 cabins per railcar). We got 65 private pods or close to 40 little single cabins - in a ref

15g/km is very low. The number is dominated by energy mix and infrastructure. Deutsche Bahn publishes lower number, but they only look at operation (not infrastructure), and assume „green energy“ rather than the energy mix of the count

Especially generation 143 of 330, they can definitely spend their whole life on that reflection.

10,000 years of empty space to get to the next solar system. Exciting.

The problem is, they often assume you already read the news and don’t say what happen just provide the analysis without context. Heck, Spiegel does that with news on the same day. You get some background article without starting with the fa

It was definitely annoying when o1 disappeared over night, my impression is that was better at some tasks than o3.

How does this work, in your first year, to have 300K revenue on 270K development cost. It sounds like some very specific boot strapping case, and even then after 70K deductions its 230K profit, so like 50K in taxes on 30K profit. Sure it’s

I don’t get the big hoopla. Here in Germany I’m opting to turn development costs into assets (I simplify a bit). I need assets on the balance sheet, otherwise we’re over-indebted. As long as the development costs are much higher than income

Definitely can be optimized along several dimensions. They got 40 cabins, we got 60 per rail car.

Best is if you combine the private office during the day with the sleeping cabin at night. Bonus points if you can get that at high density.

by ant6n 1y ago
As somebody who is working on exactly this problem, I’d say the problem can be solved technically if one can get a high density of passengers, while providing privacy and comfort. Most of the sleeper startups basically just work with render

True. The interesting stat would be expected lifetime at retirement age.

Kind of like how tables are cut off and unreadable on ChatGPTs mobile website.

by ant6n 1y ago
What’s the point here? ChatGPT can just do whatever with people cuz “sickers gonna sick”. Perhaps ChatGPT could be maximized for helpfulness and usefulness, not engagement. an the thing is o1 used to be pretty good - but they retired it to

Do you mean "a" line of code, or "each" line of code?

The rarer kids are, the more people don’t have kids, don’t know anything about kids, don’t care any kids, and treat them like a nuisance. Both privately and publicly.

Reminds me of ms windows. Except it reboots, no matter what’s running - for example if ms office is open with some unsaved changes.

Last time I tried Gemini, it messed with my google photo data plan and family sharing. I wish I could try the AI separate from my Google account.
