Bon, rien de tel qu'une météo caniculaire et un bâtiment non rafraîchi pour expliquer encore une fois qu'un gros radiateur à 1GW (aka datacenter pour l'IA) en plein milieu de la cuvette grenobloise, ce n'est peut-être pas l'idée du siècle. Et que si on a le choix entre la clim de l'hosto et l'alimentation d'un machin qu'on nous vend comme faisant gagner du temps sur nos tâches admin pénibles, faudra bien peser le pour et le contre.

Today we’re quietly (and finally!) opening up Railfinder to the public! This is our beta version and - hopefully - the first step towards that one booking site for trains across Europe that we all dream of.

Lots of work has gone into this and equally lots still to do before reach that vision, but if you’d like to try what we’ve built you can now just go to https://www.railfinder.eu and have a go!

Any and all feedback more than welcome 🙏

You often hear that certain technological trends are "inevitable", so it's fascinating to read what people were predicting even just ~25 years ago: https://twentynine.fibreculturejournal.org/fcj-216-know-your-place-headmap-manifesto-and-the-vision-of-locative-media/

Not wrong, really, but not right either.

(h/t to @genmon which is how I heard of headmap)

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".

Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!

Holy fucking shit I have just spent fifteen minutes reading social media reactions to that "chatgpt rots your brain" paper and absolutely no one understands brains or has read this paper
J'ai présenté aujourd'hui au congrès de la SFSIC un article dont l'idée tient en une phrase : les programmes basés sur des LLM ne sont pas des outils appropriés pour répondre à un besoin d'information. Le texte avait été accepté après une évaluation en double aveugle ; je publie ici une version révisée suite à la présentation et aux discussions, qui servira de base pour les actes. https://www.arthurperret.fr/articles/2025-06-20-congres-sfsic-ia-impasse-informationnelle.html

@stefanlindbohm maybe because it doesn't have the short transfer label I do see with other routes, which do disappear when the button is untapped.
@alexsteenbreker Indeed. We go by min allowed for regional trains usually, but maybe we should add a little margin to RE in the Netherlands?
@stefanlindbohm oof, matter of choice really... maybe if the criteria are clear or you can set it yourself, it will not lead to any confusion. For some stations / people / transfers 3 mins is too little.
