I don’t disagree with this, but when did this happen? About a decade ago I remember Reddit being pretty decent. Did Reddit change or did I change?

If you are using car play the work around is to have the screen off and use car play without nav full screen (using the view with tiles basically).

Moderation would be the best. I have gotten a little bit of value from Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and HN. But most of that value can be captured within a few minutes a day rather than the few hours I spend. But moderation feels harder than quitting outright. I relapsed on Reddit recently and I found it easier to just have a zero tolerance policy.

The HSR route between San Francisco and Los Angeles is under construction. It’s not gone perfectly but it is starting to pick up momentum.

The speed yes it’s not ideal and at a minimum there should be signal priority or just remove at grade crossings entirely, but land use in LA is really really not good for transit. The built environment is designed to support automobile use and that will hopefully change through TOD.

My point is the distances regularly covered in LA would be absolutely unthinkable in Manhattan and the more urban parts of the outer boroughs, let alone Paris which is a smaller city than San Francisco. So on the one hand we need better land use to reduce distance traveled and on the other improvements to overall speed.

By contrast New York has a built environment that is absolutely fantastic for transit but cannot build enough to fully capitalize on it. Their costs are astronomical and going up.

I disagree. Look at something like the Chicago el which is a true hub and spoke system. The el needs a ring line since any trip that doesn’t start or end in the loop generally requires taking the bus which is fine but not rapid transit.

By contrast look at the Yamanote line in Tokyo for a great ring that provides tons of connections and gets tons of ridership.

Once the dust settles we will realize yes LLMs have some applications. But no they don’t need to be integrated into everything.

How does this work with device permissions? Assuming most of these conversations are happening when there is no app in the foreground.

I have, but I’ve also met some LA natives that have never heard the term. It is a real thing, but it’s not universal for everybody.

I can really empathize with this. My wife fought two brain tumors and was repeatedly denied treatment to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Can you imagine going through radiation therapy, chemo, and all kinds of different tests and having extra financial stress dumped on you?

I mean San Pedro is also part of the city of Los Angeles. LA is basically an hour away from LA.

It’s maybe worse than what you say, because there is a vicious cycle where individuals whose time is absorbed by parasocial relationships are less available to people around them. Those people may in turn become isolated and turn to… parasocial relationships.

It’s a miracle of marketing that so many people think what brightline has built is high speed rail.
