Waymo accounts for ~1% of surface road VMT in San Francisco, but it is disproportionally concentrated downtown, as expected for ridehail.

FWIW, Waymo robots are empty ~2/3rds of the time they are in service, per their CPUC reports.

Waymo causes plenty of congestion.

Nice video & pics of at least 50 & possibly 100+ Waymo robots queued on a public street for their depot:

14th St between Folsom and as far as the camera eye can see, San Francisco

Notice they are using/roboclotting both traffic lanes of a one-way street.

Congestion as an automated service.
@caseynewton.bsky.social @kevinroose.com literally every Waymo in SF is stuck on 14th st right now

Apparently it doesn’t *just* help pain on a surface level, it actually interacts with the physiology of the uterus/etc to improve period symptoms. Something about prostaglandins, idk, it’s a little over my head.

for what it's worth the Microsoft Surface Pro I bought in 2021 is still my daily driver and it's good so maybe this is an argument for first-party hardware
dell laptop i got in 2022: fans screaming at max volume 24/7, file explorer crashes daily, battery dies if unplugged for longer than 20 minutes

mac laptop i got in 2022: works fine. a little slower than i remember when i'm running graphic-heavy projects in after effects

Anyone can increase their airdrop luck if they:

❍ Use fewer wallets, more intentionally
❍ Share what they did onchain
❍ Stay consistent

These steps build out your luck surface area.

12 is the one no one talks about beyond the most surface level of observations but is actually peak
the funny thing about FF discourse is that no one includes FF12 in anything

The "golden age" is like 4-10

The "bad modern era" is 13-16

no one knows what 12 is. liminal video game

- curious that the Created hadn’t found it…

Then again, on the surface it was nothing special. There was no information being passed, but this access point’s location was what mattered.

“There,” she points to a small building that opened onto the lake. The prow of a small wooden boat -

WHAT is represented? -- brain

Brain–model RSA shows the same shift: both groups encode visual features, but only experts encode high-level, task-relevant structure.

In other words,

👉 expertise changes WHAT is represented: from low-level, surface features to high-level, relational structure.

... the corona is much hotter. But it's also optically thin, and right next to the much-cooler much-denser solar surface

So I guess it depends on the details?

A more-physics-y version of this question, is what is the hottest an object on Earth can get if you redirect sunlight as much as possible directly onto the object

Should be roughly 5500 C, since that is the surface temperature, and you can't use a 5500 C source to heat an object to >5500 C

But...
What if ALL the sun's power was focused in one place?

Bismuth. Like ice, as solid it is lighter than the liquid phase, so swims on top. You can melt it, then such crystals start growing from the surface when it cools. Grab them with tongs, pull them out and turn them around and you get such shapes. An oxide layer produces the colors. Try it, it is fun!

I think I might be nearing the end of 1000xResist but honestly, the way the story keeps metaphorically bouncing my head off every surface, I’ve no idea. There could be another 8 hours left, for all I know.

It’s a proper weird game & I still have no idea what’s going on.

My cats have deemed the underneath of my bed as the bedtime battle zone. Just lots of shuffling and rapid pit-pats and soft whumps and thumps with the occasional snort and/or squeak.

Every so often one will surface for a quick kiss and be told they're the winner before battle is renewed.
