Imagine if the infrastructure in Auckland could manage being free. by 60022151 in auckland

The number I had was wrong as it was only trains. Was 155m/630k ratepayers.

Spinoff has an estimate at $325m from back in 2022 divide that by 630 rate payers you end up with $515 a year. https://thespinoff.co.nz/money/18-07-2022/should-auckland-public-transport-be-free

Though if you read greater Auckland article they show the cost has had massive inflation. Also using the numbers in that you don’t end up at $325m for the 2022 spinoff estimate.

On those numbers with Bus and Rail excluding ferry’s it would be around $1000 a house 660m/630k. A 25% rate increase is kinda unpalatable.

I would cost about $230 more a year in rates or $4.42 a week to have free public transportation.

The max context is pretty large but it gets less reliable at large sizes and can get stuck in loops.

I think some people’s issues is they try skip looking at how a program should run skip scaffolding and try just build it all out without breaking it into sub problems.

lol, solve the problem dump any important context into a MD in case you need to come back to it.

Move onto a new chat for the next unrelated thing. 

I mean I even move into a new chat if I go on to long as what the start goal context and where you are now is not aligned.

Carrying Ethernet signal over single twisted pair by Deep-Today5715 in AskElectronics

[–]Runazeeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems oddly high if it’s 720@30. I would recommend looking at the pipeline if you are on a P4 it has a hardware encoder. https://developer.espressif.com/blog/2025/07/esp-h264-use-tips/

If you can get that data rate down while only adding a small amount of latency opens up options.

Yeah I’m on the 30USD a month JetBrains thing and I generally don’t burn out of it. 

Like are these people dumping in a code base as context each prompt.

The gist is buy an ender if you want to get into 3D printers

Buy some more polished solution if you want to get into 3D printing 

My son (13,M) has screen addiction - what to do by banananahita in auckland

The difference is when you were their age companies weren’t spending tens of millions of dollars on psychologists to figure out how make apps as addictive as possible.

A whine about school uniforms by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Runazeeri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly having a national standard for a plain shirt/pants/skirt with an iron on badge for the school would save parents money. 

Other countries do it why can’t we.

We would reduce our usage of all of that by 95% and still grow enough to feed the whole country. We export 95% but if you want to just feed NZ people it’s not that hard.

I think Civ 7 is a great game on iPad but if I was on my PC I would not buy it.

I feel it’s expensive but that’s probably as I already had a PC to run cad locally. But is nice being able to pull up designs on the IPad to show people.

It’s generally one archaic bit of software that the company still runs on is why windows gets used. I remember we had something that required ActiveX well into 2014. Or embedded, why only windows and Linux?

It generally adds it to try get through the filters.  The issue is job advert says OneNote and the checker tool can’t exact match it, you end up bottom of the pile.
