  • Welp, how is MapQuest these days?

    Edit: Actually, looks pretty good. I didn't know why OpenStreetMap can't autocomplete an address to save its life, but MapQuest does fine. Also, Yelp review integration and I didn't see obviously sponsored chains.

    No public transit directions apparently? Which would be a problem if it weren't always faster to bike than take transit in Boston.

  • Tesla’s Robotaxi gets caught crashing through bollards, just as it readies the purpose-built Cybercab for public roads

    Jump

  • "Crash" seems hyperbolic, but clearly in the video the driving software choose to push through bollards rather than back up to get out of a prohibited part of the road.

  • Plug for https://fairvote.org/ . We have a long way before ranked choice voting gets to federal elections, but many local elections are using it now and once people are familiar with it we can hopefully push for more far -reaching adoption.

  • Apple Introduces Leasing Program for iPhones and Other Devices

    Jump

  • Now, a $1,999 MacBook Pro can have a monthly payment of $38.99 over 36 months.

    $38.99 * 36 = $1403.64. That doesn't seem right.

    Macrumors has a more detailed analysis (different device in their example):

    If you return the iPhone 17 Pro and simply move on from the Apple Upgrade program, then your total cost to own the device would be $551.88 after 12 months, plus sales tax if applicable. While that is less than paying $1,099 upfront, the catch is that you are no longer in possession of the device after your lease ends and cannot resell it or trade it in.

    Seems like it's just designed to keep people buying new hardware regularly.

  • I think I'll stop my donations. Nothing gets executives' attention like dropping revenue. I read a lot of exec responses to employee dissatisfaction at other big tech companies that basically said 'too bad if a bunch of you are unhappy, the company is doing great so we're right, you can leave.'

  • Some people's chats with Claude AI found publicly available online

    Jump

  • But only if you shared the generated link on some crawlable page? Or did they leak a list of share links so crawlers found them? The latter seems much more serious, and I can't tell which it was from reading a couple articles.

  • I learned Ansible for this purpose, so all the modified configs live in a git repo. I still get lazy and modify some things directly (looking at you Minecraft plugins) but a lot of it is pretty easy to set up via IaC.
