im just thinking of pritzkers handlling of the chicago transit stuff-really is showing a total lack of leadership so far

this isnt in a climate context! the context is a sam altman post!! he's talking about energy use "per query"!!!
comment in response to
post
no other technological process i know of measures energy use this way outside of like a climate context. do comoanies measure how much energy it takes to run a car by including how much energy is used to make it?

you cant be serious; electricity demand is increasing in the usa for the first like in 20+ years

except the text itself, which is talking about "per query"

sure but nothing in the context indicates its the 2nd way

GM says (with zero evidence or percise definition) that this car gets 100 miles to the gallon which is reasonable because theres this toyota that gets 33 miles to the gallon

it clearly wasnt included in estimates, he specifically says query

what? their numbers are credible because a different model uses 3x as much power?

a peaceful protest with thousands of people that walked down market st in philly in oct or nov 2023 wasnt covered at all

this thread cites no evidence and beats a strawman situation of all bus routes being free, remain unconvinced

the flip side is yougov also has the protests themselves with double digit negative net approvals

@eugenevinitsky.bsky.social tbf no us city is close to nyc, but like with austin there werent regulatory changes that led to the construction boom, and austin has so much space to epxand out into. my point remains the same

i wasnt trying to say you supported cuomo i was just sorta using him as a placeholder

what city in the usa with nyc's level of density has lowered prices by deregulating? as far as i know, the examples in the sunbelt all occured through expanding sprawl, with infilling only being a marginal part of the phenmenon

i wonder if this workshop actually happens like they do stuff like this just to piss people off but id love to see footage of people together in a confrence room sittimg queitly to presentations about this nonsense
comment in response to
post
in any case, absent expansion into the suburbs im not convinced nyc's housing problems can be solved by deregulation
comment in response to
post
i wouldnt trust anybody more, would you? The other contender is cuomo. Do you really think he or some other guy do what it took to bring rental prices down and not just give huge handouts to developers/real estate/whoever? like maybe, but id trust mandami more

newark and jersey city is waaaay below brooklyn level density, union city is around what crown heights is but still a little less dense. plenty of room for growth. obviously long island would be the real greenfield

i respect thay my stroked out machine politician congress person who is bad in so many ways never votes for this kinda of bs
comment in response to
post
as far as i know mamdani is proposing some key routes being free. i dont get why this is a big deal, its not even that expensive
comment in response to
post
the ultimate solution to nyc's housing issue is to annex the nearest parts of long island and new jersey and turn it all into brooklyn level density. Im all for regulatory reform. Mamdani has the most real solutions as far as I can tell and I care about and study these issues a lot as im sure you do

free buses mean zero buses, or even less buses?
comment in response to

i love you account btw and agree with all your criticisms about waymo, especially the unjust massive subsidies they recieve and the total lack of transparency
comment in response to
post
i feel like they just keep expanding, google can throw unlimited money at it, regulators arent likely to act, and it serves an idealogical purpose to make the oligarchs feel like theyre actually accomplishing something. Im not sure they fully displace uber/lyft

ive worked in a factory, highly automated, with some state of the art machines, and a large fraction of the job was fixing the machines since they constantly broke down. why doesnt some version of that always happen

i dont see why this would be true-llms have been deployed at an unprecedented rate, spread by all the largest companies basically onto every computer everywhere-what more deployment could realistically occur?

maybe im optimistic but i do think the more they crackdown the more it hurts them, especially since this whole thing is just something they made up

i mean widespread adoption of waymos would mean they operate on federal highways, so the federal gov would have jurisdiction. Cities could try to regulate but id guess the same thing that happened with uber would happen with waymo-they defy regulation and price dump
