Hell yeah. You do the acoustics test?

Normies probably think the lines outside the Egyptian are crazy but the community is really tight knit and it’s always great to see the cosplay.

I know people have brought up Texas, but it’s the opposite case there. Native Texans have shifted bluer than incoming residents.

NYCHA announced the procurement a while back, it’s legit.

If you’ve already got 240 then you can go with a standard range (Bosch/GE both make solid ones) and be good without the battery premium. Love the Charlie, but mostly because the electric upgrade was otherwise going to cost me 8k.

Issue is that at least on the southern end the actual construction appears to have been complete for a month or two, but they still haven’t changed the traffic patterns and started using the islands so cars are just filling in the gaps.

Very sad case of terminal galaxy brain. I thought it was compelling, set up a recurring donation to Give Directly, and stopped paying attention and boy did things take a turn.

There has to be a data issue. A roll lasting 2.5 days?

Is there any way to confirm whether the transfer to a city park has actually happened with the designation last year? Was wondering if that includes the city taking ownership of the statuary.

Already bought mine but I’ll take another to give away: If you’re doing a World Cup in CFB stadiums to properly show off America to the world, what’re your top 8?

I dove back into sci fi partly thanks to adrian tchaikovsky, and if you want to get weird and piece the actual story together yourself Blindsight by watts is great.

That’s exactly why cameras are good. They enforce without discretion or favoritism. Getting a ticket doesn’t involve an interaction that a cop can escalate.

And explicitly solved the “head vs heart” debate that often happens between progressives and moderates on electability. Huge reason more places should use RCV.

And insurers. For something like medical or self driving cars, you’d have to have insurers get special access and testing to vet particular models and write policies for the developer. Even big AI labs can’t self insure against 1000 self driving car crashes.

Especially galling because that’s still much cheaper than it would cost the MTA to do it themselves, so it’s actually a great deal for the city.

Great piece, but man it bums me out how much this city fights to block housing.

Believe so, it’s a model that costs I think like 3k to the city.

Interestingly the ancient panel in my prewar apt was good enough, but each unit was only getting 50 amps. Wonder how much of NYC is stuck at that level.

Not really, less than 5% of the stock was floated in the IPO. Ownership is all Musk and big private funds. You can cheer bankruptcy without any fear of systemic risk.

Also something to the optimism of hoping that maybe this one weird trick (vitamin/diet/peptide/etc) will make me feel better and have the energy to do the things I know I should do to improve my life, but always put off. If your failings are tied to a deficiency of X, then you can’t be blamed.

Biggest issue with the one modular project in Brooklyn I’m aware of is that manufacturing/assembly tolerances were too great. Undoing all the prep work to carefully make mismatched pipes line up etc. Smaller prefab panels plus cranes seems to be optimal in Europe.

No building housing is good. It’s good when it I can do it and when you can do it. The fact that there are a dozen replies here saying that a million dollars is cheap for a home is a blindly bright sign that American cities have terrible housing policy.

Shoveled the snow in front of my building, even though we have a super. It was a nice evening and why not take that off his plate for the morning?

BDFM at Bryant Park usually can’t even load the MTA site. Weirdest part is that the phone shows 5G and bars, but nothing gets through

One of the cool features on some induction stoves now (not the impulse, though) is that the whole cooktop works with sensors to detect the pan such that any large or weird shaped pan can be plopped down and heat evenly

Definitely can’t be complete, but if the big companies are forced to make watermarking a requirement that would at least require the user to take another knowing step to obfuscate

evandean.bsky.social @evandean.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Yeah, cat is out of the bag to a degree. Best we can do is try to lock down new models and at least try to enforce on public use.

evandean.bsky.social @evandean.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
And my hope is that if you can roll liability up to model makers as much as possible you can at least make misuse difficult.

The first one for me since the image models were popular is a ban on nonconsensual depiction of an identifiable individual (image, voice, etc.). Not sure about feasibility of some form of watermark of outputs that identifies them as AI, the model, anything else that would allow for traceability.
