When I get into someone’s car who doesn’t use streaming (usually someone older). Almost everyone listens to the same 3-4 stations which put on the same 20-30 songs on a loop.

It’d be fine if that was the case. Right now if you don’t like it you’re still forced to read (and often review) AI generated rumblings, communicate with LLMs instead of humans when contacting support, accept AI-specific terms even you won’t use the AI part of a product, have data centers pollute your city and pay ridiculous amount of money for a stick of ram.

Since it says per person per km I assume it only counts modes moving people? So not transportation of cargo or emergency services. Of course these should be counted in a different way and I don’t think anyone would suggest replacing emergency or medical planes with any other mode of transport regardless of emissions. A source for that graph would be nice though, so we actually know what was counted.

Surprised ferry by car is so low. Cars seem to take up so much space on ferries even when they’re much fewer than the passengers.

Jacket pockets: phone, gloves, an id, emergency cash.
Daily: my backpack, which has so much mildly useful shit in it that it’s pointless listing here.

A self-driving pod arrives whenever you tap your phone

You mean a taxi? Is the futuristic part that self-driving taxis will be cheaper than human-driven taxis?

There were some smaller ones on the other sides. Definitely a work in progress

I have the opposite problem. Pretty much my entire photo library is just mildly interesting things and then I try to find a photo of a person I’ve been friends with for years only to realize I don’t have any. Personal photos are nice. The ant colony is cool too

Have you ever seen a graffitied car? (sorry for the potato photo, it wasn’t the best place for stopping and taking photos)

Arguments are fun when they’re just civilized disagreements about inconsequential things. Like, architectural decisions at work are always interesting cause you may learn a thing or two and it doesn’t matter if you don’t convince others, it’s not your product. Actual heated arguments, I tend to stay away from.

From Greece, To Nisi (The Island) is the best I’ve seen. It’s about an island where they used to move people with leprosy.

Eteros Ego (The Other Me) is supposed to be one of the best but haven’t gotten around to watching it yet. It’s a crime show that’s a sequel to the movie with the same name. The movie is on YouTube with English subs.

That would really mess with the opposite hemisphere

On the other hand, can you please share an actual error message other than “something went wrong” and requiring me to reproduce the error while on live chat because there are no server logs?

Same for screen sharing. Do not share your whole screen unless you’re ok with your coworkers seeing every open window, including the chat you have currently open.

If you keep some tabs at specific places you know where they are. Some websites are so bloated that every action has a cost (looking at you jira) and having only 1-2 tabs of the site open and searching within it is so much more sloppy. When you find yourself with >20 important tabs you should split them to groups or multiple windows. But just having them open isn’t bad.

You don’t need to see the titles (and you can always see them with vertical tabs anyway). There are good cases for having many tabs open. It’s just that chrome is terrible at dealing with them.

Even without any extensions, there is a shortcut in Firefox to search and switch to a tab by typing % on the address bar

Have they actually parked on the bike lane? It’d be too bad if a handlebar accidentally scratched them. I used to work close to a dealership and they had taken the whole sidewalk around their building with cars. Someone parked a bicycle on that sidewalk once. They were asked to move it.

I had a manager who pushed AI a lot. When he left, all the pressure to use it seemed to die down. So maybe it’s just a couple of people creating this environment and if you can get away with avoiding them it’s better.

The problem with AI code we saw is that often no human has actually looked at it. During reviews you won’t check every line and you’ll have to trust much of the code that seems to do obvious things. But that assumes it was written by a human you also trust. When that human hasn’t reviewed the code either, you end up with code no one in the company has seen (and may not even know how it works).

Yeah it’s a good way to force yourself to be more social and talk to strangers with low stakes (you won’t see them again). Also great for practicing a foreign language.

Switzerland is a very good starting position for trips as you can get to many countries by train. I’d totally take this opportunity and you can even do 2-3 day trips if you’re not comfortable with something longer.
