  • How Indian Cities Failed Public Transport (The Quint)

    Jump

  • They're building them in many tier 2 cities in India now. But its very patchy. You'll have good sidewalks for 100m, then nothing for 200m. So pedestrians don't use them since they can't be asked to keep getting up & down all the time, dodge hawkers & avoid open manholes/drainage.

  • Vehicles.

  • How Indian Cities Failed Public Transport (The Quint)

    Jump

  • Agreed. However as the article/video mentions, the public policy for making biking walking possible is severely lacking. I also think the traffic enforcement needs to be very strict. There's no point making sidewalks to then have motorbikes drive on it.

    Jump

  • The public sentiment is against walking because its unsafe. Most Indian towns/cities have no walking infrastructure, with no road discipline from vehicles, walking or biking is a death trap. Taking a rickshaw even 200m is worth the money because it keeps you alive. And no, this isn't hyperbole unfortunately.

  • Glen Schofield says EA recently turned down his Dead Space 4 proposal

    Jump

  • I mean after Callisto Protocol bombed but Dead Space remake was a success, I'm not entirely surprised.

    Big New IPs are way too much risk for profit crazy EA.

  • Brazil shuts BYD factory site over 'slavery' conditions

    Jump

  • Absolutely, ignorance is tantamount to complicity. Especially since BYD will earn a profit on their slave labor.

  • A Valve engineer fixed 3D lighting so hard he had to tell all the graphics card manufacturers their math was wrong, and the reaction was: 'I hate you'

  • This is amazing! I wish there was something akin to Lemmy Gold! Lemmy give it to ya!

  • I'd love if it were Linux but its probably macs, mostly due to their superior battery life (compared to Windows).

    Anecdotally my parents bit the bullet switched to Macs after using Windows 11 and all its unnecessary changes from 10. It was death by a thoudand cuts for them, where simple processes like search and printers are radically different than before. If they gotta learn a new system, might as well learn something that works.

  • Canadian news companies sue OpenAI | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Good luck to them! It'd be interesting to see how they prove scraping. Like do you find something unique to your website & then prompt the model to give you just that? So you use the citation/reference features that link to your websites?

    Knowing the slimeballs at OpenAI I'd wager they'd have covered their tracks.

    EDIT To be clear, I'm not suggesting they deleted evidence, but they "laundered" the data via a public training dataset like Eluther AI's "the pile".

  • Saudi Arabia and Russia Block Mention of Fossil Fuel Exit in Climate Resolution

    Jump

  • I have a different take, renewable have arguably crossed the threshold for mass adoption so moving away from fossil fuels is inevitable. These seems like the death pangs of a dying tumour trying to claw its way to relevance. Look at Saudi Arabia's desperate attempts to diversify away from petrodollars.

    Renewables are now cheaper, better for your citizens & most importantly much safer for national security, compared to fossil fuels. It is a no brainer for all nations to switch away.

    Atleast I hope I'm right.

  • Idk man, I'd be wary using the communal butt plug with corporate sponsoring. But maybe that's just me.

  • Google is inserting search links into webpages in the Google App now

    Jump

  • I feel sorry for website maintainers at this point, they gotta deal with a broken ad supported business model, AI web scrapers, dwindling viewership, and now google modifying their pages without their knowledge. Like people who just want to share interesting stuff with the world and make a living off of their work have to deal with this crap.

  • China and India should not be called developing countries, several Cop29 delegates say

    Jump

  • That's very interesting, thank you. I'd heard about Chinas progress but GDPs & mega projects aside, its good to know regular people are doing better too.

    However, I'd argue we need fewer categories, if at all. Developed & Under-developed, either you're doing well or not. Keeping it simple might make it actionable: you need hit certain basic metrics to be considered developed.

  • China and India should not be called developing countries, several Cop29 delegates say

    Jump

  • I think its critical is realize the outward appearance of "development" is not a true state of a country, but usually a sign of huge wealth disparity between the richest and poorest. India certainly is a victim of this where there are essentially two societies within the country. I'm not sure of China since no news coming from can be considered trustworthy.

    In fact, the "developing country" tag is usually used for marketing to attract investment.

  • Bluesky Social surpasses 19 million users as more celebrities leave X

  • Well its not organic at all. I remember it'd create a Threads account for you even if you interacted with a Threads post while logged into Instagram. Kinda shady to boast about such numbers imo.
