It absolutely does NOT have the best cycling infrastructure in Greater London! In fact, with the exception of TfL's Cycleway routes route along its southern and western fringes, I'd argue it has hardly any real cycle infrastructure at all. All this has happened despite the City of London being quite hostile to cycling!

Examples:

- Cycle-hostile layout changes on Bishopsgate. While I strongly support the number of car lanes being reduced and footpaths being widened, this has been done in a way that is hostile to cyclists - if not downright dangerous. There is no room for cyclists to overtake cars (and vice-versa) and dangerous sharp kerbs that come out of nowhere at a near 90 degree angle to the carriageway. Very poor design.

- Removal of segregated cycle lane on Cannon Street, a street which for much of it's length is much wider than it needs to be for the volumes of traffic it gets. The cycle lane was well-used and really improved conditions for cyclists.

- Removal of the zero-emissions scheme on Beech Street, which restricted the area through and around the Barbican tunnel to pedestrians, cyclists, and zero-emissions vehicles. This was previously very pleasant to cycle through, thanks to reduced traffic volumes and cleaner air. But the change resulted in a rapid return to illegal level of air pollution in the tunnel. The cycle lanes in the tunnel are also in poor condition (potholes, crumbling poorly maintained paving, etc) which besides the stinking air, makes it even more unpleasant to cycle through.

Finally, there has been talk of a proper east-west cycle way across the city of London for many years (in addition to the existing C3), but nothing ever seems to happen with it. TfL's busy C2 (Cycle Superhighway 2) cycle route simply stops at Algate East on the City of London's boundary. After all these years, why hasn't it been extended westwards through the city?
Sadly china embraced 'modernity' and they literally just used the single worst ideas from urban design and traffic engineering.

They went with single use superblocks connected by highways. A terrible system in so many ways.

Thankfully they protected some of the old city centers and those still have the beautiful chinese urbanism.

Thankfully, leadership in China has realized that they really fucked up. Sometimes when building the 5 ring road highway that is clogged you start to rethink the problem. Funny enough by turning to Western New Urbanism:

You can calculate the approximate speed a vehicle will start aquaplaning at based the vehicles tire pressure (V = 10.35*sqrt(psi) ) [1]. A car tire is usually inflated to around 30-35 psi, which give an aquaplaning speed of about 61mph.

A road bike tire is inflated to 80-120psi which give an aquaplaning speed of about 92mph.

A hybrid tire is inflated to 40-70psi, which gives an aquaplaning speed of about 65mph.

Bikes aren't know for traveling above 60mph, so wet roads don't pose much of a problem for bikes. Their tire pressure is so high compared to their normal speeds, that an unassisted human would really struggle to make a bike aquaplane. Additionally bikes can easily be ridden stably at walking speed. Unless you're riding on ice, going slower simply doesn't pose a problem.

As a result slipping on bike, because you can't cycle slow enough, just isn't a concern. In the only situations where it might be a problem, simply walking would be challenging, and driving would be idiotic.

That's right, or almost right. The training is actually the problem, that's where the indoctrination starts. All you need to do is hear the rhetoric of the Thin Blue Line folks like David Grossman (who is very popular) to know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VxvixMQPbE. They're being trained on "killing", on "combat", on escalation and self-protection, not enforcement of the law.

One thing I've found with these types of games is getting into a "flow" works so much better than trying to consciously play the game. Unfortunately the only way to develop the muscle memory to be able to enter this flow state is to bash your face against enemies over and over until you're no longer thinking about how to react. I've also found that when I'm struggling with a boss, I'm playing in a much more conscious way which means I'm thinking about my responses instead of just reacting. When I get really close, but don't kill them, I often over focus on the piece which got me killed and which means my attention on the dozens of other things I've used to get to this point slips a bit and I get destroyed. At this point I usually know I'm too much in my own head and go off to areas I'm comfortable with to try to get back into a flow for the boss fight again.

> If I’m being honest, that’s a bit dramatic. The internet has always been at least a little clique-y.

Maybe. And maybe it's my age showing. But there's one other thing - the modern social media solve for a different problem than the forums and boards of yore: they're all-encompassing, topic-agnostic. They're social, as in, one identity, for everything, with everyone.

Back in the day, topical, isolated cliques were all we had. All the different mailing groups, IRC servers, phpBB boards, etc. were entirely independent of each other. Sure, I may have used the same handle on a bunch of them, but reputation - good or bad, pristine or smeared - did not propagate through the boundaries. Then social media happened, and we got used to having centralized platforms, with a single identity, for all aspects of life. That's the world of Facebook, Twitter, et al. Mastodon is just decentralizing Twitter on a protocol level - it's carrying over the expectation of single identity, of a topic-agnostic, all-encompassing platform.

> Why’s that bad? Why are you responsible for expanding their minds and exposing the group-think sheep to new viewpoints? Live in your own rebel communities. Basically like the internet has operated for the last 30 years.

Because the Internet isn't a niche hobby anymore. It is life. There's no on-line vs. off-line anymore, they're both intertwined in almost everything we do daily. In other words, it's serious. Serious, as in, standing up to worst cases of dishonesty and hatred on some board may suddenly cost you your actual job, and your family a roof over their heads.

People have tried to create more sensible set of community rules on Mastodon. Last I checked, none of those attempts were successful - mostly because anyone who tries or is seen supporting the attempt, gets shot on sight^W^W^Waccused of being hateful racist bigot wanting to harbor literal nazis. There's an inherent asymmetry here; it's the same kind of play as "would someone think of the children", except the society doesn't have antibodies for the former just yet, like it has for the latter.

Who cares if it never fully overtakes node? It's a great alternative. Competition is good.

I've spent most of my career in the Bay - $150k in the Bay Area without child expenses in a single-earner household with the following common lifestyle choices will about break even month-to-month while fully funding a 401k (in the "core" Bay Area - SF, the Peninsula, parts of Oakland/Berkley):

Eats out frequently, goes out for drinks occasionally, travels a few times a year, owns a new mid-range car, lives in a modern apartment complex or small home/condo near a downtown area (with a < 30 minute commute). New electronics, big TV, minimal but high quality furniture.

Pairing back on those choices you can begin to save every month, but not at a pace to buy a home in a reasonable time frame.

On dual income assuming consistent earnings YoY you can start to buy a house in a cheaper neighborhood later in life, around the time many are starting to have kids.

I have to imagine kids can put a 5-10 year delay on buying a house without various kinds of assistance.
Unfortunately (or not, depending on your politics), the main mechanism here, the interest rate, is not up to the market to decide. It's up to a small group of folks who do not have to show their work.

Speculation, but the "dollar milkshake theory" seems to fit the best here, which would imply we'll probably be stuck with high interest rates for quite awhile. It's entirely possibly we never see money move as freely as it did in the past 10 years in our lifetime.
Agility’s Latest Digit Robot Prepares for Its First Job
Classic "Who watches the watchmen?"
They could ask ChatGPT to propose a fix.
Started testing the waters of the job market last week. Still employed, not FAANG, but senior at a well known startup that is still healthy despite conditions.

I don’t look at LinkedIn much most of the time but I do try to connect with most of the people I work with, and I am nice to recruiters. I generally rely on my network and recruiter outreach for most of my jobs, can’t remember the last time I did a cold application.

For the past few years there’s been a layer of bottom feeder recruiters who were terrible about phone and LinkedIn spam. They made previous job hunts unpleasant. Nowhere to be found this time around, wonder where those people went.

The quality roles are still there but maybe 25-50% less abundant in terms of cold outreach from recruiters.

For someone still employed this translates to a very manageable interviewing pace that probably leads to better results in the end.

If I were unemployed I might be more anxious since you probably can’t do 3-4 interviews a day without hustling quite a bit. The pace reminds me a lot of my experience interviewing for mid-level roles a few years back, before I made senior.

Overall take, the bottom has definitely not dropped out of the market. Yes FAANG comp is less available than it used to be, but the just-below level isn’t too hard to find, and even the FAANGs are still hiring in key areas. I expect a ramp-up late this year/early next once the operational cracks start to show from layoffs and attrition.

If you want to criticize this article that's fine, but you are blaming the IPCC authors for this Guardian reporter's phrasing. If you read the report you'll find it was written in a scientific and objective manner, and as emotionless as possible while using human language. You will probably find it boring to read even the extremely shortened "Summary for Policymakers".

The associated press release uses stronger language, but it still pretty objective if you accept the emotional axiom that "avoiding death and destruction is good".

> GPT does not only model the language patterns that humans intentionally put into text. GPT models all of the patterns that exist in the text.

> Humans, when writing, do "distill" thought into language; but the result is messy: we end up encoding more patterns than we intended to. Our behavior, our choices, our reasons, and the surrounding situation we exist in, all inform our writing. Those are the patterns that get encoded into the text, right alongside language.

Sometimes truly, and sometimes falsely. Take this paragraph, for instance. If I made a typo on the fifth word, and left out the "l", this paragraph would also encode something that is not at all what it is about. A human reader might chuckle at the typo, but would not be confused by the meaning. But for GPT, that will be a pattern in the text, just like all the others. So sometimes it can reveal what was unintended but is still informative, and sometimes it can be misleading.

But it's not just typos. There's very intentional text from advertisers, shill, liars, and propagandists. That is all patterns that get encoded, too. The lies are encoded right along with the truth.

But where I was really going initially was the hallucinations. If I ask GPT who won this year's NASCAR race on Tierra del Fuego, it will find something - some pattern that matches better than other patterns. Who knows, it might find some kid's fanfic posted on Reddit, and will tell me who won in the kid's story. But if there's nothing like that, it will find something. It won't be any kind of a meaningful pattern that it finds, but it will still present it, and will present it with as much certainty as it would if it found a number of news stories that all agreed with each other.

So I'm seeing in your posts a pattern encoded (perhaps falsely) that makes me think that you think that what the text encodes is gospel. It's not. It's much that is golden and much that is dross, and GIGO applies to GPT as much as any other information system.

>- might be impossible depending on work or children

The public (media) conversation has largely focused on whether people give up cars entirely, but at least in America, the norm is for most families to have two cars, if not more. Walking that back to one car would meaningfully reduce the design constraints on medium-density housing — you can build a neighborhood of small houses with only street parking, for example, which is basically impossible when people need two cars — and therefore it would also reduce housing costs in urban neighborhoods.

Ebikes could significantly help with that even if they don't lead to the car-free future envisioned by some techno-urbanists. For example, your girlfriend has a car.
>The MBR checked which of the 4 possible primary partitions was flagged as active, and then booted control to the Volume Boot Record (Boot Sector) residing at the first sector of that particular partition which would then (usually, but specifically according to BOOT.INI on Windows [BCD today] or GRUB configs for Linux) load the OS contained within that partition. Usually by reading files from the filesystem beyond that point, but capable of being chained directly to other executable sectors.

You forgot the Windows boot manager, on Windows NT the chain is:

Up to XP:

BIOS->MBR->PBR of active partition->NTLDR (+NTDETECT.COM)->BOOT.INI->Choices->OS

Vista and later:

BIOS->MBR->PBR of active partition->BOOTMGR->\boot\BCD->Choices->OS

The MBR only passes control to the PBR and the PBR only loads the Windows boot manager, it is this latter that does all the actual OS loading and that reads BOOT.INI and \boot\BCD settings and user choices.
