Human drivers (especially Uber/DoorDash drivers) stop in bike lanes all the time without repercussion. Pointing the finger at Waymo for this doesn't negate the larger problem of it not being enforced by local traffic enforcement.

Waymo has no problem navigating the narrow streets of SF.

You can definitely see a bit of a hockey stick forming in Waymo's reported rides per week. Nice chart in this article. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/27/waymo-skyrocketing-ridersh...

Waymo undoubtedly drives better than your average rideshare driver - I have taken dozens of Waymos in SF and the experience is unmatched. Also no chance of being harassed by the driver, which is a big plus.

Agreed. Gives me Palantir vibes.

Yep. You don’t have to have to have your eyes closed to meditate. You can keep them open to focus on the flame of a candle or something else… in this case, a wall!

"Naturally, violence is never an answer, nor is it a politically effective tactic." I am not condoning violence, but claiming it is not a politically effective tactic is disingenuous. I get that columnists are trying to cover thei

The Flash one is pretty impressive. Might be my favorite so far in the pelican-riding-a-bicycle series

Interesting. I may have to give that a shot, thanks.

I'm conflicted whether I should keep my Claude Max 5x subscription at this point and switch back to GPT/Codex... anyone else in a similar position? I'd rather not be paying for two AI providers and context switching between t

I'm out of the loop - what moat does Cursor even have now, and why is it worth $60B?

Just speculating, but the intention wasn't reducing key personnel risk. It was so that your employer could fire them and replace them with an agent running off of their associated skills.md.

Ah, that’s a very valid use case. I sadly don’t read as much as I’d like to (I only have a couple dozen books to my name, though I’m in my mid 20s.) I can see storage becoming an issue though if one owns hundreds, if not thousands, of books

Besides portability, what other benefits are there to using e-books? I vastly prefer having a physical copy of a book, mainly because I’d rather not look at a screen while reading (unless necessary.) Plus, I love lending out books to friend

I previously worked at Uber and there were constantly internal complaints that went unheard regarding the enshittification of the UI. Since Uber really hasn't had much innovation going on in the last few years, (imo) frontend teams are

For all intents and purposes, aren't the "token change" and "cost change" metrics effectively the same thing?

As it turns out, having unfathomable amounts of wealth lets you get away with just about anything.

Definitely one of my biggest pet peeves with articles / blog posts. There is so much fluff. Just get to the point!

I suspect that Google is working on improving their models for coding behind the scenes. Hopefully they release something soon to compete with Codex and CC. To be candid, I use CC, but have not tried out Codex.

As an aside, the creator of this site (Riley Walz) has some other awesome projects I’d recommend checking out https://walzr.com

Yeah, extremely misleading title even if it is technically true semantically. The phrasing gives the impression that a bug was found in `lean-zip` as part of the proof boundary when it was part of the unverified archive-handling code.

You're right. Thanks for calling it out. Doesn't contribute to the discussion in any meaningful way.

Altman needs to sell off that house and move to an anonymized address. I don’t see these attacks letting up any time soon. Two targeted attacks in three days is nuts.
