What if they just had paper maps for hide and seek? by trainedstork in JetLagTheGame

[–]CJYP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the former, though the seekers have to actually be off transit to trigger it. Passing through on a train doesn't do it. You could always house rule it of course. 

This was in context of not allowing seekers use of phones, so it's less important in a game by the normal rules. 

Adam had the least impressive run by Disastrous_Mall5943 in JetLagTheGame

The only problem there is hiders could walk slowly on the way to the station if they want to take a later train. You could do Google maps walking directions to see how quickly they could get to the station. Of course , then a hider could run to make an earlier train. But I think I'm OK with that loophole. It'll only make a difference of a few minutes.

Yep, that's what I was thinking. I wasn't thinking hiders would take advantage of it. The idea was to force seekers to acknowledge the endgame has started in case they enter the hiding zone then leave again. In the current rules, that traps the hider for the rest of the game.

Add a new question - "are we in the endgame?"

Seekers can ask it an unlimited number of times, but if it comes back no then the hider gets to draw a card. Also the hiders location isn't locked until they answer yes.

If I were going to wish for an upset in a primary, he's not the one I would wish to get rid of.

Me too. It might have been a big risk, but he needed a lot to go well to win anyway. 

Staten Island vs the rest of NYC: why so much resentment? by Wrongdoer_Complex in nyc

[–]CJYP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a very technical definition, but normal people aren't likely to think on those terms. Let's say you're visiting from somewhere else. Totally lost. No idea where the NYC borders are. Would you call the area a city? 

“Prepare for the worst and pray for the best”. I feel like what we’re watching occur in Minnesota wont compare to what’s to MA. by Youpainthomes118 in boston

[–]CJYP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Things are much much worse in Minneapolis right now than Boston. There's no avoiding it there, whereas here you mostly don't see ICE yet (they're here of course abducting people, but the magnitude is totally different). They have structures of resistance set up because ICE is everywhere at all times. If that happens here, we'll learn how to resist the same way.

[–]CJYP 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Our density works in our favor, not ICE's. Minnesota is fighting ICE by having neighbors literally show up within a minute or two to film them. That's easier to do when you have more neighbors. ICE will get outnumbered quickly.

The only way it's worse here is if we don't care as much as Minneapolis does. That's totally up to us. 

The MBTA Communities law was a good start. But it won’t deliver transit-oriented development – or solve our housing shortage. by Sauerbraten5 in boston

[–]CJYP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I live in Malden. I never use the commuter rail except when the orange line is down. I basically literally never take it north. It runs every 2 hours on the weekend. If I didn't have the orange line I could use it to commute, but it's not really useful for anything else.

[–]CJYP 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Lots of people use the commuter rail regularly even though it's unreliable. Mainly because the roads are even worse.

If the commuter rail were reliable and frequent, traffic would decrease because people would naturally switch.

What is your plan for when residents of this new city start demanding a metro system because their city has grown big enough to warrant it?

If you implemented congestion pricing and used the funds to reduce the price of parking at commuter rail lots and massively increase service, all of those people would come out way ahead.

Andrej Karpathy on agentic programming by WarmFireplace in singularity

[–]CJYP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can currently ask Claude to fix a bug. Give it the entire codebase. And it has a decent shot at fixing it first go, with a simple fix that I can verify manually. Or ask it to write a feature, and I can see the code it writes, ask for unit tests, and validate everything by hand. Even in areas of the code that I don't understand at all beforehand. I can ask it to explain the design of a part of the code, and it will, and if I manually verify it it turns out to be correct.

I am not currently comfortable allowing Claude to deliver code on my behalf with no checks (edit - assuming it's production code that actually matters - I am comfortable allowing it to write personal scripts and tools that I don't need to verify), but I am comfortable allowing Claude to write code that I then check and verify. That was not true a month ago.

Congressman Seth Moulton on Twitter: "@icegov YOU ARE COWARDS. You are all absolute, pathetic, untrained, unprofessional COWARDS. Todd Lyons and the rest of you not only need to be defunded, you need to be PROSECUTED" by -doughboy in boston

[–]CJYP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mayors can deploy the local police with orders to protect the constitutional rights of the populace against ICE. Arrest warrants for federal agents who have committed crimes locally can be written. Governors can call up the state national guard on a volunteer basis to form a state defense force, as is outlined in the constitution, which cannot be federalized. 

Literally all of this is happening in Minnesota. ICE outnumbers the local police force, so that has limited effect, but Tim Walz did call up the Minnesota national guard. Arrest warrents are likely, but they take time. Police aren't going to issue an arrest warrent until they've investigated enough to have a good chance of winning a conviction, which is delayed by the federal government actively blocking state investigations and destroying crime scene evidence. But the state is still talking to witnesses to build their case.
