sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) (sanae@carfree.city)'s status on Sunday, 05-May-2024 05:40:57 JST sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) one thing about the demise of the mall is, where do you buy shoes. Like say you are looking for shoes for a wedding or something. You don't want something bespoke and from Italy near Union Square. You don't want the kind of sneakers people line up to buy, or the kind you buy to run marathons, or really any kind. You don't want to go to a store that has like 3 shoes next to their scented candles. You don't want cool boots. Usually you want shoes that are comfortable, but not today.

At the very least they should have done so regularly before taking office. We don't need to be ruled by aristocrats. You aren't qualified to run the city if you use your money to opt out of living in it.

sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) (sanae@carfree.city)'s status on Sunday, 03-Mar-2024 13:30:12 JST sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) We fundamentally need to change how transit is funded. We can't budget our way out of not having enough money and we shouldn't be dependent on having people go into a downtown office to run transit
Interesting that we make more money from parking than transit fares but we can only raise fares...

And I remember reading earlier that the Aztec were also really into archaeology and went and dug up stuff and put them in museums and it really made life difficult for modern archaeology
And I'm wondering if this is really going to piss off whatever archaeologists exist in the future

Like I totally get why all sorts of ancient civilizations thought it would be a good idea

actually I'd settle for just a video game type thing

sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) (sanae@carfree.city)'s status on Thursday, 22-Feb-2024 21:48:41 JST sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) it's fascinating that there is evidence of trade over immense distances, and also playing sports. And of a very hierarchical society with extremely over the top displays of wealth and power. But no evidence of war. Though I guess a lot has not been preserved and so you can't really say what *didn't* exist

sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) (sanae@carfree.city)'s status on Thursday, 22-Feb-2024 21:48:37 JST sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) I do find it encouraging learning about how various ancient societies collapsed catastrophically
the Late Bronze Age Collapse around the Mediterranean is one I learned about relatively recently
obviously very bad when it happens for the people who live through it, but in the long run something survives and something new will be created
and even if it can't be prevented, whatever can be done is still worthwhile

sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) (sanae@carfree.city)'s status on Thursday, 22-Feb-2024 21:48:35 JST sanae :vbike: :vbus: (SF) another interesting thing is that usually when societies collapse the ruling class disappears and all the things we think of as civilization - giant monuments, stuff gratuitously made of gold, large armies, and so on - but there are still some normal people who stick around doing normal people things once the dust clears. Which is for most people the important part of society.
like life probably still gets a lot harder for those people, but it's not actually the end

I think I am no longer paying attention to these videos, I think planning to watch 3h of educational videos after a full day of work was maybe unrealistic

Naively I'd assumed that there were people working in AI who don't believe they are becoming the priesthood of a new god and that LLMs are just like a way of generating text with computers that might generate them some money but I guess I was wrong
