Singapore and AFAIK Thailand banned vapes altogether. And it seems to be actually enforced. They have completely different grounds for it but still, there's already some movement in this space.

In Thailand, regular smoking is shunned by the public but vapes are literally everywhere.

I've even seen 15-16 year old boys in Thailand pick up their girlfriends on motorbikes, race their friends to the food court, drink a couple of beers and vape once they get there, then ride their girlfriends home again while still under the influence, all without helmets mind you.


Pipe and roll-your-own tobacco are also banned in Singapore, but regular cigarettes are sold just fine. There may be a different reason for the bans.

Vapes illegal, but weed legal, that's great

Not. I've seen young teenagers vape in Thailand, that's how enforced it is. They only catch foreigners from whom they can extract thousand-dollar bribes.

Can you get turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps on these watches?

Chat control and the never-ending drive to police our private communications.

What exactly makes you assume that the persons arguing for open source here are not the same people who has helped us defeat earlier attempts to make chat control happen?

GSes are sort of a meme in the motorcycle communities. And not because of their (perceived) popularity.

I'd bet Honda easily outsells BMW in Europe.

I'd take a GS over KTM though.


> I'd bet Honda easily outsells BMW in Europe.

Probably only if you include motorized two-wheelers with a displacement of <=125cc.


There's also a big differences between the Western Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe on the forward/backward looking plane.

I presume his eyes are mostly fixed on the "old EU".


I'm very relieved we've moved away from rewriting everything in Rust.


There's no reason not to use Rust for LLM-generated code in the longer term (other than lack of Rust code to learn from in the shorter term).

The stricter typing of Rust would make sematic errors in generated code come out more quickly than in e.g. Python because using static typing the chances are that some of the semantic errors are also type violations.


> (other than lack of Rust code to learn from in the shorter term)

FWIW Claude Code is quite good at writing Rust, and Claude and Gemini are both surprisingly good at explaining complex third-party Rust libraries.


Have we though? I'm glad we're not shouting about it from the rooftops like it's some magical "win" button as much, but TBH the things I use routinely that HAVE been rewritten in rust are generally much better. That could also just be because they're newer and have the errors of the past to not repeat.


Pecunia non olet.


Ironically, one good use for that would be to "exfiltrate" entire AI chats from Gemini/AI Studio as Markdown. Doing this by hand is tiresome and Google is obviously not too eager to make it easier (walled garden).


What for? there's already Gemini CLI (https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) for that, unless I'm missing some crucial feature not supported by that.


Gemini and AI Studio websites, and also Antigravity, have generous free tiers (at least for now). Not so much over API/CLI.


I totally see why Framework doesn't want this toxicity and flamewars.


It has been practiced by populist politicians for millennia, e.g. pork barelling.
