When paths are narrow and the sidewalks busy (people, trees, benches, etc) drivers subconsciously slow down because it feels faster. Inversely, drivers speed up in wide open areas because it feels slower. This has been well studied and rebutted earlier urban design principles that thought narrow streets and obstacles caused traffic accidents.

One solution would be to sacrifice the new gardens on that top road to make space for bike lanes. Of even better, the whole road becomes a bike-first road where cars are allowed in at 10km/h.

Exactly! The design forces everyone to drive more slowly and deliberately. If I was a driver I would be very pleased. The only people that hate this are speeders.

Computer vision is AI and has been called as such for a long time, way before the current wave of AI/LLMs. You can call it whatever you want. An automaton that can sense the environment, read information and make decisions on it is a kind of AI.

At least in Europe street signs are color blind friendly. Forbidden signs are white with a dark thick stroke around, while mandatory signs are solid dark color. The colors help, but are not necessary to distinguish the sign.

Technically that is also canceling the previous sign that said you are entering the town.

Drivers in Europe, and I assume most of the world, do have to have several theoretical classes about driving and safety to earn their license. Is this not the case where you live?

Oh look, a use of AI and surveillance I can actually get being.

Well keep getting dumber until only the elites can afford education.

Just sell your useless extra 2 cars, easy

He mentions in his video that he has less than 500 subscribers, but right now it sits at almost 4000. Good on him for breaking it into the thousands with this video!

That makes sense. TIL

But that’s neither better nor worse than ICEs, not really the point we’re discussing

Because the grid is not 100% renewable, and even renewables have some carbon cost. That line of thought is what crypto bros and AI idiots often use to justify wasting energy. It’s always better to reduce our energy consumption.

Yes, and electric cars still produce lots of tire and brake dust. But to say they are not an improvement over ICE cars, is a lie.

That statement is just straight out false. Yes electric cars still represent a huge deal of energy needs for producing, but they are much, much more efficient at using energy than ICE cars. If I remember correctly it was something like 40% vs 90% energy efficiency? That’s why if you put several electric cars connected in a row, place them on tracks, externalize the power source, and you get the most efficient way of travelling - trains.

The north of Thailand is much less hot and humid. I actually prefer it.

10mbit fiber? That exists?

I just moved from Germany to Denmark and for the same price in finally getting gigabit 🥹 I feel like I travelled to the future.

Queen were known for mixing in some very goofy songs in between their best work.

A friend who is very politically active (think gaza, queer rights and other leftist topics) refuses to use apps other than WhatsApp and Instagram because using any other apps is too much app switching. Meta is literally destroying democracies, but ya gotta have your comfy apps!
