We’re installing new fare card readers at several METRO stations and on buses. Though they look different, they work the same: Simply tap your Go-To Card to pay. We’re testing new readers that will allow you to pay with a credit card or mobile wallet in 2027.

"agents let you ask for the homercar" is SUCH a good framing (credit @fubarchitect.com ) and I love writing my SPEC dot md and thinking "yay I'm so excited to drive my homercar"

One thing I can't quite figure out: how the heck do the agents collectively discover these? With artifactory it was somewhat obvious, but how is a whole swarm going to converge on "yeah let's check out this Google classroom site from 2004"

@metrotransitmn.bsky.social it rules that the northbound A line stops at the entrance to the state fair - what blocks the southbound from stopping there too?

There really is something fun about "tangible skill development". I can do sewing things pretty easily today that I just could not even attempt a year ago. I wonder what the ceiling here is? How high can someone climb on the ladder?

It would be interesting to compare "MW of natgas burned for utility power in Minnesota" against "acres of corn grown for ethanol, vs the solar potential of that land"

Hi fun fact: did you know there is a standard API for "public transit data feeds", including things like "how delayed do we expect this bus to be when it arrives at a given stop" Did you know that metro transit has it available as a public API :) svc.metrotransit.org

Can't help but wonder how things would have turned out if we went all-in on edit prediction. "Prompting the agent" becomes typing comments in the source & seeing the blocks get filled in.

My contribution to the solar/farm discourse is that solar panels capture about 100x as much usable energy from the sun as corn grown for ethanol, if you include the energy cost of growing corn. Ethanol corn is effectively a very old-fashioned inefficient solar panel.

FYI if you're like me and use direnv + nix for projects, do yourself a favor and clear out the `.direnv` folder in your old projects and run `nix-collect-garbage` - you might find out where all your disk space has been going :)
