Uber slowly reinventing public transportation is hilarious. What’s next? A giant vehicle that travels the frequent route back and forth? Perhaps on tracks. Could carry many people

When CEOs say AI is writing 90% of the code, it doesn't mean what they think it means. LLMs are prolific at writing duplicate, bloated, and over-engineered code. It's also phenomenal at writing tons of unit tests in minutes (also code). Code output is 3X higher; value creation is another question.

So cool
I made a programmable @caltrain.com bike tag using an e-ink display. It does not need a battery, drawing just enough power from the NFC antenna to refresh the display, and then requiring no power to maintain the screen afterwards. It’s perfect for occasional trips.

We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well.
The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.
We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media

Dangerous, climate change-boosted heat will impact the Western U.S. this week.
Up to 43 million people will experience extreme heat that's at least 3x more likely due to human-caused climate change.
For 25+ million, this unusual heat is at least 5x more likely.
