@Sen_Gounardes @agounardes This is devastating. His child was born the same week as mine, one of the highlights of my paternity leave was walking with my son every day and Yazan would always stop to chat with us and tell me about his son. So sad for that poor kid.

How very sad. Yazan was my mailman. Whenever I'd see him on my block he always had an exuberant smile on his face. Sending prayers to his family and loved ones. Please consider supporting them if you are in a position to do so: gofundme.com/f/support-yaza… brooklynpaper.com/bay-ridge-mour…

@voberoi Eli5 the difference between transcription and diarization?

To be clear, I figured transcription was possible, but not high-quality diarization.

Has anyone done transcription & diarization with any of the Gemini models? If so, what are you seeing cost and performance-wise?

@BOENYC @agounardes Was this in collaboration with @katiebcartoons? Or is this a 'great artists steal' moment?

🎃 No tricks, just a treat if you vote early on Halloween. The first 300 voters at each poll site tomorrow will get a limited edition Halloween Voter sticker.

@voberoi Release Episode 3!

When NYC shut down in March 2020 my now-wife and I distracted ourselves by making a point-and-click adventure game about Fiona, an executive assistant whose boss makes her do pointless things. It is very silly and fun and free: tacoeslepostudios.com

@voberoi This is still a thing?!

76 years ago today, the Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks 🧡 To celebrate #WindrushDay is to appreciate how migrants define Britain in so many positive ways, and to recognise that the fight for justice for the victims and families of the Windrush Scandal is still ongoing.

I'm launching citymeetings.nyc today. It’s a vastly easier way to browse and research NYC council meetings. It'll be kept up-to-date with 2024's meetings. You can sign up for the newsletter for meeting highlights and updates on tools I'm developing every 1-2 weeks.

@miriam_riviera @NYC_DOT How can DSNY be so opinionated about trash removal?

@NYC_DOT How can a public agency be so opinionated like this? This is a very unethical

OUTDOOR DINING TAKES UP LESS THAN .5% OF STREET PARKING IN NEW YORK CITY. PUBLIC SPACE IS FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST CARS.

@agounardes Car dealerships probably shouldn't be legal in NYC anyway. But failing that, good to see this crackdown. Would love to see a crackdown on the sidewalk parking by the dealerships in Bay Ridge.

Good. Let's do all we can to crack down on this blatant fraud. nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/01/08/doz…

@embernic Fer sure, and #2 goes to Cake's version imo

and maybe t-pain’s war pigs is better

This headline #smh @JessieSingerNYC

I know street work is inevitable, but there needs to be bus priority. Also, the road here hasn't even been broken yet and no crews on site! Where's the oversight? @BhamCityCouncil

Birmingham, if your bus lanes suddenly end and don't connect to each other, and there's no enforcement of people parking in them, what's the point? @for_birmingham @for_harbquin

The Internet is getting worse at a faster rate than usual, right?

@BrumPolice Passive voice doing a lot of work here.

#ARRESTS | We’re investigating after being called to a neighbour dispute in #HodgeHill yesterday resulting in a teenager being Tasered. We're aware of footage of the incident circulating on social media. See our statement here 👉ow.ly/hqsL50PXAOF

This is so misguided and dumb.

Oh good! Active engagement in improving local streets here. *Looks closer* Oh.

@ZachWeiner And making everything meet at a baseline at 2019Q4 is so arbitrary! This is such a weird graph frankly it makes me distrust it.

@ZachWeiner The 11 month x-axis graph lines stress me out for no good reason
