My hot #urbanism take is that while speedbumps and raised crosswalks help, they induce more pickups and SUVs, because the bigger the car, the least effective they are. On the other hand, curb extensions and chicanes have the opposite effect: smaller (less dangerous) vehicles handle them better

I don’t want NYC to become a museum. It should be a living, breathing testament to the working people of our city.

ngl Im glad the bsky drama is "theyre weirdly too much into AI", "they got DDoSed and this proves theyre not decentralized" and "one of the team member blocked 1000s of AI critics cuz some of them were too aggressive to them"

USA is so cooked bro

Canada's official greenhouse gas report for 2024 is out today. It confirms what our Early Estimate of National Emissions found last fall. Canada’s climate progress has been modest and is at risk of going in the wrong direction. Here are some key takeaways⬇️🧵 www.canada.ca/en/environme...

Pas de restriction sans une façon de vérifier l'âge qui ne permet ni au gouvernement de savoir où tu t'inscris ni au réseaux sociaux d'avoir ton identité réelle. 😡 #polcan www.lapresse.ca/actualites/p...

In hindsight we were always working towards this conclusion.

Merci à la CORPIQ (le lobby des propriétaires immobiliers au Québec) de nous rappeler que les propriétaires ne peuvent charger un prix très élevé que quand il manque de logements et que s'il y en a trop, ils sont forcés de baisser le prix demandé. 👀

Not gonna lie this shit is so spooky. At the same time this technology is so insanely interesting.

I think most things in projet de loi C-22 are reasonable, but they seem to enable the police to force companies to keep data that they currently do not keep. Like they can just tell Telus "yo you don't keep precise location of your users so please do that" That's crazy www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I'm not the kind of guy to spit on fundraising, but announcing it a year later and justifying being late by saying "busy building!" sounds very sus?? 🤔

Because SEQRA presumes that all new multifamily housing may pose a "significant adverse environmental impact", this project is required to undergo a lengthy environmental review. This review adds cost and time to new apartments, increasing costs by 10% ($40-80k), per @cbcny.bsky.social.

L’économie du futur sera décarbonée. Voulons-nous devenir des leaders mondiaux ou serons-nous des cancres énergétiques comme le sont le Canada et les États-Unis de Trump?

If you are wondering how upzoning in Edmonton is going; when I moved into my place last year it was $1300 for a 1 bed. Now my landlord is offering a slightly larger unit for $1200. Its crazy! If I wasn't moving cities I'd be down there renegotiating my lease as we speak @growtogetheryeg.bsky.social

L'OQLF a choisi un terme Français pour "AI slop" et c'est "contenu dégénératif" vitrinelinguistique.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/fiche-gdt/fi... Gang, "bouillie d'IA" était disponible et bien mieux comme choix 😭

Pas d'interdiction des réseaux sociaux sans une façon de vérifier qui garantie la vie privée. Pour ça, ça nous prend une vraie et bonne identité numérique.

5. There are criticisms of LLMs that are much more plausible. They are built on a large scale expropriation of the intellectual commons. Demonstrably true! They involve a radical and extremely worrying derangement of power relations in favor of a tiny number of men with weird beliefs. Also true imo.

It's really great that we live in a world where we give free money to people with insider information about war. Just absolutely swell.

this is an attempt by the Secretary of War to bankrupt Anthropic. good luck to everyone working there

Aight I just heard about this Toronto AI startup taalas.com They are able to design AI chips for one specific model, and it runs 500-1000x faster than the best nvidia chips for the same work. First time I've been genuinely scared about the AI military robodog with guns from that black mirror episode

In the 6+ years I have used Windows Hello, the only reliable authenticator has been the PIN. Fingerprint or face has never been reliable durably for me. Fingerprint has always been reliable on phones for me, though. It truely sucks on Windows

🔴 DERNIÈRE HEURE LA COUR SUPRÊME AMÉRICAINE ANNULE LES TARIFS DE DONALD TRUMP JUSTIFIÉS PAR LES POUVOIRS ÉCONOMIQUES D'URGENCE Les tarifs sectoriels contre le Canada sur l'acier, l'aluminium ou encore le bois d'œuvre restent en place.

I heard from an Edmonton councillor that the YIMBY response had a meaningful impact!

I love everything about this blogpost

Le Service d'incendies de Montréal veut forcer l'installation de gicleurs dans *tous* les nouveaux logements construits, et interdire de stocker les vélos électriques sans avoir une pièce fermée avec détecteur de chaleur. Ça va empirer la crise du logement et causer plus de misère que le status quo.

The 2FA on @bsky.app is truely terrible. I hope something is planned, it sucks to connect to other atmosphere apps because of it
