i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

Today's tea: decaf English Breakfast with a little double-cream Earl Grey in there. The double cream is too much on its own but it's nice in moderation, and I need a little caffeine today since I'm dealing with a touch of jet lag

The Dufferin & Bathurst bus priority lanes are the only way to break the transit death spiral in Toronto. They must happen & the mayor needs to make sure they’re a raging success. Mission critical as future fixes rely on their success. My column this week. Pls read n share.

Guess I need to re-up this article from last fall. Ford does not understand something essential about city roads: intersections are the bottleneck almost everywhere so bike lanes aren't hurting traffic. toronto.cityhallwatcher.com/p/dont-blame...

I think the number 1 rule of riding a road bike fast is to give pedestrians the right of way. But if you live in a huge city and there are only a few places cyclists can ride and there are points of friction between riders and park users, this primarily is a policy and infrastructure failure.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” Via @grist.org grist.org/biking/one-m...

Seconding this, wholeheartedly. Ours is a longtail but we recently realized we haven't had to rent a car for errand reasons for years and years. Before the pandemic. Bikes can carry A LOT, but most of the time... you're not carrying that much anyway.

I know it's kind of a waste of even more money on a byelection that's already pretty wasteful, but I'm amused anyway. Go for it, Longest Ballot folks! www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
