Never seen terminator?

Jokes aside, a true agi would displace literally every job over time. Once agi + robot exists, what is the purpose for people anymore. That's the doom, mass societal existentialism. Probably worse than if aliens landed on earth.

Once self driving cars take over and fill the streets with gridlock autonomous traffic, the only way to get around in a city is going to be by bike.

Its great to here their algorithms are good for cyclists, a better solution is to keep investing in infrastructure that separates cyclists completely from cars.

Can we do this for combustion cars too please!

Absolutely drives me nuts that I can't remove the music icon from the systray in Mac. And ditto on all the spotlight issues.

Also, why does it take 10 seconds for activity monitor to show information? The list goes on.

If only Mac hardware officially supported Linux, I would never touch that macOS again.

500 manually driven cars and 500 robocars take the same space. Building schools, cities, and communities in the US that are pedestrian based is the only real solution. The author summarizes as "We need to thicken up our places, slow down cars, and install pedestrian or biking infrastructure" which I couldn't agree with more.

You don't need a non biased website to tell you that. Goods costing %25 more affects the low income folks way more.

Think about it this way, eggs go from $3 to $10. Someone with high income is barely affected. If you make min wage at $7 an hour its a huge burden.

Are the developers on Chrome or Safari not anonymous to you as well? Or basically every piece of software that you did not author yourself?

I still prefer to shield my domain and inboxes. Probably a silly exercise, but I like knowing that no one can spam my true inbox or domain as its never given out.

Customer for a few years now. I don't do anything fancy with it. It was the cheapest and most appealing option for a custom domain for personal email. I think it runs me ~$11 a year or something

I combine it with simplelogin to handle all my aliasing needs.

Thanks for the great service.

The example by the author is an unsafe one. You think putting unsafe sharp curves at the bottom of hills for cars is acceptable?

Your example is good, and the matching example of a bike lane is the opposite of what was shown in the article.

Yeah, that's why we have raised crosswalks and stop signs everywhere that a pedestrian has to interact with a car.

Or that we have safe and separated bike lanes instead of paint to keep cyclists safe, right?

Do you really think a pedestrian feels safe here with this design?

Its the same reason many dont walk places. Too many half passed attempts by people who don't care designing crosswalks and intersections for cars and not pedestrians.

Go look into the design standards used in The Netherlands.

https://international.fhwa.dot.gov/pubs/pl18004/chap03.cfm gives a decent overview of some of those things. They are much better for end users because someone over there cared. Whomever designed the ones in the article clearly does not.

Yeah, that's why when pedestrians have to cross where cars are that there is always a stop sign to make sure their high speed won't harm a pedestrian /sarcasm.

Imagine if you were talking about a road doing this for no reason. The engineers care about how fast you can go in a car around town, not bikes. You can't argue bike lanes get the same amount of care/effort as roads.

Yeah, that's why we put sharp turns at the bottom of roads too.

It is selfish to only think about the driver coming from the hill. The driver that thinks it is okay to drive 45mph in that situation.

Do you see the irony of your statement.

AI or LLM? If this is for LLM, then what does "responsibly" making up facts really mean or change?

I would argue LLMs are irresponsible by nature of them having no context for what is fact or fiction.

The vast majority of people never leave the area they are raised, much less their country, either due to economics or culture.

There will always be a need for software like this as long as the world has these restrictions.

Transitioned from gnu stow to nix/home-manager and haven't looked back.

The great part about that setup is my configuration contains not just my dotfiles, but also the installation of the programs themselves.

I don't use the "nix" way of configuration though, I instead have home manager symlink everthing for me. Then I can bail on nix anytime and not have to translate all my files back to yaml.

Glad programs like the above exist though for those who don't want to sink time into nix but want to reasonably track configuration.

Adding 3000 buses won't do anything if they don't also add bus priority lanes and lights. Otherwise they just sit in traffic and at red lights like everyone else.

With graphene, you can just run the regular google camera app and disable it's network permissions.

I can't comment on your question about the graphene camera app.

They don't look like a bus, so im sure it won't be hard.

My pessimistic take is that a city in the US will briefly prioritize public transit over private vehicles and learn nothing from it.

I have found Wayland (±sway) handles this really well once configured. Even when I switch my laptop between two different external monitors at two different physical work locations.

What WM or DM were you using?

Do you have a preferred message protocol?

You would think we would just hire the dutch/swiss/italians (take your pick out of europe) to come build our HSR, similar but opposite of how we destroyed their cities when they brought in our 'traffic engineers' in the 60s and 70s.

I went purelymail, but yeah I agree. Same with joplin. I don't really like the ui of how notes are organized, but it does work well for what it does.

Their ui is horrendous. It wouldn't let a customer add a TXT record recently because 'a txt record already exists for that domain', lol

As a non legal person, what good is the 14th amendment then? It seems like it could be abused to no end where the ruling party could ban their opposition or a non supreme majority could fail to ban an arguably dangerous candidate?

In the 2nd case, I feel like its even worse because of the electoral college where said candidate can win without actually having the popular vote.

Not that I have any solution, just seems like you have an amendement ratified in 1868 that does effectively nothing because congress never set a precedent on how to use it?

This is one of those things that doesn't make any sense. The amount of vertical deflection difference between aluminium and carbon is nothing, tires make the biggest difference by far.

Yet many people will say carbon is more 'comfortable'. Its hard to tell how much placebo it is.

One of my favorite YouTubers, not just bikes, did a video last year that highlighted this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muPcHs-E4qc
