It’s clearly not density because if you go into some of the most dense (poor) cities in the world fertility rates are not so low.

It’s a western thing likely because we have priced out families and couples can no longer afford to have kids/the large apartments needed. Need to build more two and three bedroom apartments you can actually afford and raise a family in

katbyte··on Microsoft backtracks on deprecating the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel
Last Dec while setting up a gaming vm I needed to configure some power setting - I ended up 3 generations of control panels/ui styles deep to configure it.

I have a screen shot somewhere as I found it hilarious

Residential water use is tiny compared to water used to grow things mostly cattle feed, Primarily alfalfa

The reason for the water shortages is not more people it’s a complete and utter mismanagement of the watershed

They can also keep throwing money at it until it’s solved
katbyte··on A pedantic review of the Las Vegas loop
Most of that is just “tunnel vs surface” or “private vs public” ownership

It’s still just roads in tunnels with taxies.

The system here still ran on 80s computers as of a few years ago and has had minimal upgrades.

Your missing the point: this was a solved problem 40 years ago and Tesla has decided to reinvent what works, for less capacity, with a far more difficult problem to solve and it’s somehow better?

You called it not metro, other people in this thread are calling it a metro and it “will be better then a metro

katbyte··on A pedantic review of the Las Vegas loop
It’s roads in tunnels with small cars/vans going mostly point to point.

It’s just a separate road system with pods driven by a person or computer.

What are the significant differences?

katbyte··on A pedantic review of the Las Vegas loop
So.. roads. With taxies. You’ve reinvented roads without parking lots in taxies lol.
katbyte··on A pedantic review of the Las Vegas loop
In 40 years there has not been a single failure of automation I am aware of leading to a death here in a city of millions. This is a busy metro not some tiny thing with a couple stops

40. Years.

So yea it is a solved problem from the perspective of living in an area with a large metro that has been fully automated for as long as I’ve been alive with very few failures and zero of these “serious issues” you think happen.

They were able to do it here with 40 year old tech, it should be easier and cheaper to do now

And it is easy when you are on rails in a controlled grade separate environment compared to automating cars/whatever Tesla is failing to do with cameras alone

And you say it’s not metro but people here are acting like the Tesla loop is “metro” and can compare/be better/cheaper then real metro by “just have multiple tunnels”

What nightmare would that station look like and be to navigate
katbyte··on A pedantic review of the Las Vegas loop
It’s a solved problem for real metros. Automated systems exist the world round.

My city has had and automated metro for nearly 40 years.

It’s rather easy with rail.

katbyte··on A pedantic review of the Las Vegas loop
The metro in my city runs automated trains every 2-3 min at rush hour (and I think it can run them every 99s if needed) there is zero possibly the joke of a system using Tesla could keep up

And sure enough 5000 ppl is a far cry from 25,000 it’s rated for with mark 2 trains

My guess is simply no. No it’s not.
katbyte··on Google is a monopoly – the fix isn't obvious
I would love to use safari but for years now it will randomly just start refreshing pages. I have no idea why or even where to begin to debug it so on chrome I stay.

Removing manifest v2 might be the kick to try Firefox again but I’d still like to fix safari
