I am only semi technical so most of these go right over my head, but after watching a ton of Jeff Dean interviews, etc it is really fun to see how a 10-100x engineer can operate over such a long career (while seemingly a normal and kind person to boot)

This is what i came here to find out. Thanks.


Amazing flick that just sticks with you for some reason - I wish we had more the these black comedies.


This is great idea - I have a huge tree in front yard that will either cost be $5-10k to come down or was going to rent lift and do it myself - A few particular branches scare me though in terms of how they will come down... Bonus points for where to tie things off.


I wish they would have been more concentrated with their approach versus this spray and pray route (ie test chick-fil-a from different parts of the country and done it 1000 times so customers could actually impact a change to the biggest offenders). Would happily pay to crowdsource a much bigger project here.


After seeing how many porta potties at playgrounds never have their hand sanitizer filled, I have come to grips with fecal matter being a part of the gig


Bravo. After all this and using the tool what are some takeaways on ai and how it will disrupt (or not) these very same companies?


Thank you. Lots of them already using AI for all kinds of tasks. I think it's just important to stay practical as lots of companies slap ''magic AI'' on everything, where it doesn't always makes any sense. Similar to a period when everyone was building everything on a ''blockchain'' because it was ''cool'' and could have given you funding, although the reason for your ''groundbreaking todo app'' to be built on blockchain was... none.


I have been looking for something like this. To clarify it doesn't show pedestrians or bikes hit by cars? ( I live near a stretch of road that I know has several white bike memorials but this does not see to not have them there..)


There's a pedestrian fatality on the map near me. Might be a problem with data gathering/consolidation - apparently data collection is done by individual states (and of course they're themselves distributing it out to a huge number of different counties/municipalities/PDs).


Data included is specifically 2001/01/01-2023-01-01 if that makes a difference.


Just listened to a podcast episode where they discussed this David Eagleman and Aza Raskin

"If we meet extraterrestrials someday, how will we figure out what they're saying? We currently face this problem right here at home: we have 2 million species of animals on our planet... and we have no Google Translate for any of them. We’re not having conversations with (or listening to podcasts by) anyone but ourselves. Join Eagleman and his guest Aza Raskin to see the glimmer of a pathway that might get us to animal translation, and relatively soon."


I wish Denver (I live here) and other cities would just start their own subsidized bike networks to compete with Lime and Uber bikes.
