![The advertising during the game stood out for a high number of celebrity cameos and advertisements for futuristic technology, particularly for products like electric vehicles, virtual reality and cryptocurrency.[136][137][138][139] There were many cryptocurrency-related ads drawing comparisons to dot-com commercials during Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000,[140][141] leading some to refer to the game as the "Crypto Bowl".[142][143]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreievce7ps4onya4r7lnkhyunbnuniltxqhynyysdz3ratcfzlsah3a@jpeg)

It's finally happened! The Sofia to Istanbul (or Dimitrovgrad to Istanbul, if coming from Bucharest) sleeper train is finally bookable online, at the Turkish Railways website! 🥳
Finally, the overnight train between Instanbul & Sofia in both directions can be booked online with the TCDD ticketing website and app. Just the all in fare plus res, those travelling with InterRail will need to use more conventional options.

Ils rendraient asocial, violent… Comme toute nouvelle techno, les jeux vidéo ont d’abord fait peur. Mais les experts ont aujourd’hui le recul suffisant pour évaluer leurs effets sur le cerveau.

Generating code was never the goal. The goal was to solve problems. I tried my best to avoid writing code by leveraging existing solutions or reframing the problem.
Writing code was always a last resort and a liability. If I was going to write code, then I was going to do it right.

Crazy story: A bank analyst published a report showing Kalshi users lose money even faster than sports gamblers, so Kalshi first tried to pressure the data provider to change their data and then accused them and the analyst of conspiring to extort them when that doesn’t work.

You know we have an actual affair of kompromat going on in France at the moment. A politician was filmed by another hooking up with a gay sex worker. But because being a man that has sex with other men is not actually shameful, everybody's rooting for the guy that was filmed.
Best way to avoid kompromat is to avoid getting kompromised.

First because of the pointless push.
Second because it keeps coming back.
Third because even when closed that area keeps being blocked out so it blocks slides and content and mouse interactions even if the area looks blank.
They probably vibe coded it.
