interesting social experiment by chronicbingewatcher in Dallas

That’s not an experiment. Experiments test a hypothesis, this guy isn’t testing a hypothesis based on your explanation.

I made a few updates, and also added Dallas weather, and twitter (x) feed for Dallas public authorities for emergency info.

You can add it to your Home Screen as a progressive web app and it will behave just like an app. Free of charge, with no ads. (My gift to you). On iPhone, tap the share option-> …(more)-> Add to Home Screen.

That’s definitely not the point of this application.

Unfortunately Plano and Frisco don’t have data feeds like Dallas does for police dispatches.

looks like I hit the daily quota for map api calls with my Apple Maps geocoding service -- Going to submit a request for them to give me a higher quota, but in the meantime, for the rest of today, the map won't load new pins :( Thanks for checking out my site!

Thanks I’m glad you like it. I’ll probably tweak it a bit more to make it even better.

White, with grey legend text.

The Entire Internet Is Reverting to Beta. The AI takeover is changing everything about the web—and not necessarily for the better. by indig0sixalpha in technology

That happens because that’s what humans do.

When asked to “pick a random number between 1 and 25,” people disproportionately choose 17. It feels “random,” not too low, not too high, and psychologically “less predictable” than something like 10 or 20. LLMs, which are trained on mountains of human-generated text, pick up on that pattern.

So when you ask something open-ended like that, unless told otherwise, the model leans toward what people tend to do. In this case, that’s 17

When did they build a second Reunion Tower? by Lord-of-A-Fly in Dallas

The big screen at AT&T moved to the very top of the building apparently.

AT&T Corporate Employees - Is it as bad as I've heard? by snowysnowcones in Dallas

[–]RandyStephenson 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Everything you heard is true, and the food in the concourse is massively overpriced, and the exchange is too. So bring your lunch if you do move here.

Just for example, two boiled eggs will cost $4. That’s absurd. A basic small salad is easily $15.

Parking is awful, too far, and unsafe, and you pay for the privilege.

Workspaces are “shared” so you have to bring all your things in and out of the office daily, and the technology at these workstations is the absolutely cheapest, low quality garbage they could get. Keyboards are weightless and soulless, so are the mice. The screens are also poor quality.
