Probably fun to make but harder to read compared to a bar chart.

Quite different than the scam pedicabs that operate in US cities now.

They're popular in London too. The scam seems to be that if tourists don't arrange the price beforehand, it'll be arbitrarily inflated - they don't run a meter like a licensed taxi.

What’s the scam?

They’ll end up charging you like $120 for a 10 min trip by just being deceptive and evasive about the fee structure.

Then you give them the finger and walk away.

It's not that easy. He had those little chains strung across the side exits and wouldn't remove them until I paid. I told him they don't let you out of Canada with that kind of cash but he didn't believe me and laid siege to my day while eating a slice of pizza like a taco. The worst thing was that this was my second mishap with non-combustion locomotion that day. ...I still swear that was not the real Secretariat and that Central Park isn't in New Jersey.

40 foot drops would be survivable on the moon.

It's 40 meters, so it is only survivable with jump jets. That would be cool though.

(ChatGPT answered, I was too lazy to computer 40m with gravity being 1.62m/s on the lunar surface.)

Ah. That's the link I was looking for.

They're definitely aware and working on it: https://x.com/dmitri_dolgov/status/2028863520037867820

This page is old, but they just refreshed the data shows Waymo is 13x safer than human drivers (in the cities it operates in).

Probably not explicitly, but this (and continued AI Studio improvements) is going to erode the value proposition of a whole lot of tools.

Configuring an application environment is a huge obstacle. The number of people who can think logically and break down a business problem into pieces is 10x the number of people who can recite the exact right incantations to get a working cloud setup.

I randomly pulled up the Firebase Studio after seeing the AI Studio improvements today.

The product churn (Project IDX -> Firebase Studio -> Shutdown) is unfortunate, but I'm glad to see efforts being concentrated.


This is eminently reasonable.

Now if only Android would allow for stronger sandboxing of apps (i.e. lie to them about any and all system settings).


I think it's only reasonable if you can install updates without having to do the whole dance (assuming you do the 7-day rather than permanent unlock).
