The millstones of the gods grind late, but they grind well. It depends where you're from -- there is always potential for dramatic change in a people as obedient as the German.
I do hope that sufficient humiliation will suffice for DB leadership to enact harsh measures. German precision and punctuality are still there in its people. It's not lost yet.
I've been trying my hand at RL envs for various sparse matrix algorithms in CUDA. It's easy to generate code that "looks good", "novel" and "fast". Escaping the distribution and actually creating novel sequences of instructions or even patterns (has any model come with something as useful as fan-in/fan-out or double buffering patterns that's now ubiquituous?) seems difficult to say the least.
