pre-commit hooks are awful, they get in the way of interactive rebasing. pre-push is where they belong; save a round-trip through CI.

I want this for pedestrians and cyclists at intersections, and particularly HAWK beacons.

I’d highly recommend looking up “Situational leadership” if you’re worried about coming off as micro-managing. You need to adapt how you’re mentoring based on the mentees skill and confidence.

I’d say Matt O’Dowd of PBS Space Time is the closest to Levine’s role?

Gotta love the confidence to casually think every physicist for the past 100 years is an idiot.

One of the best commencement speeches I’ve seen.

A couple of little Apple Watch apps - a drinks counter that calculates approx BAC, and a timer for stretching that gives a 5s pause between stretches.

Coupling / decoupling at high frequencies would be a challenge for sure - but seems achievable in a world of fully autonomous vehicles that can communicate.

I don’t think the second part (about length of the train) is accurate at all. Yes, a train made of pods roughly car sized would be longer, but only roughly 3x. If you look at the duty cycle of say BART rail, you could fit a lot more than 3x trains on it. The rail is empty most of the time.

Oh wow! I’ve wanted this for ages, even started making it myself at some point!

Heh - I'm using ChatGPT for the same thing! Works 10X better than Rocket Money, which was supposed to be an improvement on Mint but meh.

Blow up the pokies

Look for an old Dick Smith kit?
