The alternative proposals look better every day, but the inertia of this project has been substantial.

The Tilikum multimodal transit bridge cost ~$178M in todays dollars (roughly adj. for inflation).

So we're looking at about 42 Tilikum bridges

If generating the essays is cheap enough then learning should invert its process.

Have students edit/grade a (generated) essay for clarity, accuracy, persuasion, or whatever the intended goal of the class is.

AI is about to kill the undergraduate essay, and the chasm between the humanities and technology means that we're totally unprepared for the moment. Wrote about it for @TheAtlantic: https://t.co/Lff6hnIHDw

@maccoinnich Been declining for a while. Their switch to counter service/bus-your own-table for covid also made it less pleasant as a dine-in option.

We earned this. Proud of us all.

Attended my gf’s holiday party and strategically seeded a mix of subtle gossip, innuendo, and praise to advance her interests and thus the interests of our House

Visa is an uncanny systems thinker and modeler.

If you need a first principles look at a marketing/positioning problem I'd look his way.

[Visa is doing marketing consults (see pinned!) @visakanv]

I'm looking for more marketing consult clients again! If you're looking to grow your business or project, figure out your positioning as a creative, strengthen your narrative, work out your branding, get more customers/users/followers, etc etc DM or email me and let's chat 🤓

Parking reform often requires working in coalition with people one disagrees with on other issues

Homelessness is a housing problem.

When the median rent of a city is high, and the vacancy rate is low, homelessness will be higher. Create more housing, alleviate these conditions. It's pretty simple!

Excellent work from @ColburnGregg & @compatibilism

Heavy cars are far more dangerous in a crash with other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians and they cause substantially more wear and tear on roads.

And with EVs being (currently) heavier and not paying gas tax this type of tax helps offset that imbalance.

This is also how I deal with collecting cash app payments for a big group tab

[Ali Griswold @alisongriswold]

The short version: Bird lets riders pay with preloaded wallet balances ("Bird cash"), much like a gift card or metro card. Sometimes people took rides but didn't have enough Bird cash to pay. Bird recorded the full price of the ride as revenue anyway!

[Jóhann @hannonizer]

I think this is my key distinction too.

It may well survive, but we don't really know if the ~1000 (or whatever staffing number) who can run it are those who are staying. We'll find out.

However, long term damage to the trust of advertisers may be what unwinds it long term.

@brickroad7 @vgr Quite possible since its user reported

A startling statement by GM's CFO: the company will make batteries at $87/kilowatt-hour by 2025.
That blows past the $100/kWh that automakers have sought.

Honestly some Incredible connections on this site over the years. There may be something else after but it won't have Twitter's unique vibe.

Impermanence in all things.

I walk leisurely into my office at the Consumer Protection Department and take a big sip from my fresh cup of coffee. I then turn to the huge dial on my desk labeled REGULATION and flip it from "do more stuff" to "do less stuff" before breaking for an early lunch.
