Lib Development (In SF 6/19-6/22, say hi!)

There are a few homes on the market in Carmel, Indiana right now for under $350,000. A couple of them in Home Place even have a bit of walkability (which will probably only improve over time). Most of them are flips so are move in ready.

If you did not grow up in New York, you are not a New Yorker.

Some (not all) of the anxiety about transit crime that I see on Twitter makes sense to me, but some reflects lack of experience with navigating urban space. And some people “feel unsafe” around Black people or people speaking other languages … 3/

I recently started using BayWheels as a way of saving $ relative to rideshare apps, and I assumed I'd cut my spend by ~2x My transportation spend has instead 4x'ed Apparently, I've had so much latent demand for cheap transportation that I've traveled 8x than I normally would I bike literally everywhere and it no longer matters to me how far away things are, because I can get anywhere in SF in <20 minutes for <$5 For example, I went to Lake Merced yesterday (near Daly City!!) in about 35 minutes for $8 which is 3x cheaper than the heavily subsidized Tesla Robotaxi Speed is comparable or faster, so the only real tradeoff is safety-- have to be careful! But for most routes in SF, you can go with 50%+ protected bike lanes, and this number is only increasing

Today, I went to google a fact about Wild Kratts, a show about animals I used to like as a child, and I discovered they have since added a YIMBY villain

There’s one anon I follow who is still job-stacking as a SWE and he appears to be working somewhere between 10-25 jobs at any given time. You need to worry less about Claude and more about a terminally insane jobstacker. If you think about it he’s basically a rollup for swe.

The new AI model from Mistral is absolutely fantastic

There's actually a great untapped opportunity for an elite college to curate a student body that is explicitly pro-Western civilization, anti-third wordlist, and pro-market. They would immediately distinguish themselves from their direct competitors.

Disgusting pollution, industrial solar on farm/natural land is a crime. I think the colalition against this solar vandalism is the most diverse of any political issue. Completely crosses all normal political and social lines.

Helicopters are a fundamentally flawed design The moment you even slightly hit or lose the tail rotor the whole thing spins out of control and it's a flying coffin You're at least 200x more likely to die in a helicopter than a commercial jet I don't go in them and I think they should be replaced by multirotor drone type vehicles which are much much safer
