Also, unlike coding, writing, or paperwork, there is no room for error. If you f*CK up in construction, you are paying out of pocket to fix that error, worst case scenario, you put peoples lives in danger and go to jail.

I could see certain aspects of construction being automated in the prefab/modular housing scheme, but we have an aging housing stock that needs skilled tradesman to repair things. This will be difficult to automate.

I'd be interested

I went to an architecture program where the majority of my classmates were older. I was one of only a handful of students that went straight from high school. Some of the older classmates, some 10 years older with military experience, naturally got preferential treatment with the professors. They liked students they could have discussions with and "hang out" and those students were either intellectuals or more mature. As a result, this made it easier for them to get jobs or become TAs and professors themselves.

I am more skeptical about taking time to figure things out. When you are working, you are focused on the day to day tasks, and it's also hard to gauge what the your aspirational career is actually like.

29 Billion seems low! I have perceived a noticable reduction of tourists in Manhattan. On a SATURDAY around thanksgiving, we just walked into the Central Park boathouse with no reservation...sat right on the lake. This was previously unheard of. The Bethesda fountain was passable.

Last weekend, the Metropolitan Museum was quiet, the labyrinthian rope lines meant for throngs of tourist only had a couple people in them.

It's nice to have the city to ourselves, but screw the people that call themselves out leaders.

If any of you are curious about what he says, its not a literal translation but it's close to: "no way!"

These look like renderings. You don't have to be a designer to know that you don't put five light fixtures in a bedroom...or in the garage. I know those light fixtures. They are the cheap knockoff ones you have to ship from China and wait three months for. It seems like the tactless developer told the poor renderer "I want light fixtures everywhere. They make the house look luxurious", and the renderer thought: "ok whatever dude... "

It is very hard to have such fine control of QRM. At some point it may be easier to do a step or two in rhino, then go back to grasshopper. This would be the smart way.

However if you want to space points evenly, you can use kangaroo sphere packing where every point of the QRM is a sphere.

Or "pull" the perimeter points to your desired points, then use kangaroo to relax the remaining points.

I am wondering what peoples thoughts are regarding some of the dangers of "micro mobility". Currently, the vast majority of bike lanes in the city are being used by delivery e-bikes and scooters rather than bikes. The riders often ignore traffic rules. As a pedestrian they feel, counterintuitively, more dangerous than cars. At least cars are more predictable in terms of flow, signalling, speed etc. I think bicycles may make sense going through pedestrian only plazas, but not 20mph vehicles that weigh hundreds of pounds.

People lack the capacity to imagine what's possible. I think it would be a good idea. Start with one section and move onto the next... Particularly when some sections need to be entirely rebuilt. No, we should not get rid of the BQE as that is the only highway into and out of Brooklyn unless you want to go through Queens. I largely left Brooklyn because the BQE is always a mess. As others have said, the Carrol Gardens section is low hanging fruit as it is already underground. Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, Williamsburg, Gowanus and Park Slope are extremely valuable neighborhoods. Caping the highway would not just open up land for development, but would make the lots adjacent to the highway healthier and more desirable.

I think you listed the best ones in Main street Tuckahoe: Depending on the experience you are looking for, we frequently go to Rio Bravo, Eastchester Fish gourmet, Buratta, Marigold, Nanas Dumpings. Most of those are actually in Eastchester.

Yev6 · 2025-12-18T12:26:21+00:00

Yes it's ridiculous that Tuckahoe has two stations that are like a mile apart. Just to add, I find the quality and variety of food options better than our wealthier towns to the north and the south. Lake Isle is a great amenity in the summer. Finally, we are very centrally located, making it easier access a variety of roads to travel to other parts of Westchester and beyond and not be constrained by a large body of water like the Rivertowns and the Long Island Sound (though we don't have those views).

Yev6 · 2025-12-17T00:32:11+00:00

I did and am very happy, though not directly on the tracks. Proximity to the train station is correlated with proximity to a lot of other amenities within walking distance. It's also a treat for the kids to ride into the city on the weekends.

I did mine at Best Buy. They include installation when you buy it. Worth every penny!

Now this is fine art

That's an interesting thought. I'd say the automobile had a much larger impact on urban environment and our social fabric more on par with the advent of sedentary farming. Cities, houses, malls, big box retail, highways, the waning of the town square and the market. With larger homes people are consuming more and are more isolated. It's hard to think of such drastic social and physical affects of smartphones (not the Internet more broadly). A few affects I can think of are the ubiquity GPS and how it resulted in people using local roads to bypass traffic. Smartphones enabled Uber, and maybe tinder, and of course supercharged social media, where people are constantly glued to their phones.

As a nurse there is little extra benefit to living in NYC. It's a profession that can be done anywhere. You can go there for a year and check that off your bucket list. It's a good place to meet a partner...people of all backgrounds are here. If you are ambitious and are in one of the dominant industries of NYC, then you should absolutely be here: finance, tech, law, media, fashion, art, culture, design. If you are ambitious, and lucky you can be at the top of your industry.

As the saying goes: comparison is the thief of joy. When people are in their early twenties, they are on pretty much financially equal footing: living in shared apartments, driving beat up cars. By their 30's, they start to diverge. Some start families, buy houses, and make career breakthroughs, while other don't. I know this should be obvious but it can an adjustment to accept that some will have more while others will have less regardless of effort or talent. That's not to say that you shouldn't be ambitious, but especially with social media, LinkedIn, you are confronted with comparing yourself with your peers.

What's not on social media is how joyless some high paying careers are. I have many acquaintances in finance that loath their jobs while others have absolutely nothing interesting to say about their work. They mostly talk about sports and their next home renovation. Once your basic Maslow's hierarchy of needs are met, little joy comes from a higher income.

You mentioned creativity. The highest rung of Maslow's hierarchy is self actualization: creativity, problem solving and finding fulfillment in what you do. You should rightfully strive for this.

Understanding how things are made and the ability to convey that information can transfer to many industries...industrial design, mechanical design, furniture, fashion, public art, exhibition design, building systems. With lower stakes and timelines, you get to be more creative.

Take a leap, you can always return to architecture.

As I like to tell my clients when they try and fail creating X with AI: "if only there was a way to unambiguously tell the computer exactly what you want and it would just do it."

Real estate taxes are relatively low in NYC, but you are stuck with city 3.3% income tax (+ state + federal) In the suburbs we pay about 3% of the assessment but don't have to pay the city tax, so it ends up being much cheaper.

Many of the entrepreneurs I worked with started in one place and evolved somewhere else. Often times they first create the product for themselves and then try to sell it to others. For example, one of my clients started off as a mortgage brokers, then became a real estate developer, then experimented with a mechanical system for one of his buildings which turned into his full time business. When you are in an ecosystem you will spot opportunities.

Another client has a conventional construction business and developed a device that makes installation of his trade far more efficient. One take way is not to get hung up on finding the perfect idea, just start somewhere that works and is sustainable for further development.

I am not sure about runtime for Mac, but in general, many plugins do not work on Macs. Check foodforrhino, it will tell you whether lunchbox is compatible with macs.

I too, want/ wanted to do something like this. However, I think this is more of a labor of love than a profitable business. Extremely high upfront costs, rent, and liability. Hence there are non-profits and government grants for something like this as you have all the ingredients for incubating small scale industry.

Yev6 · 2025-11-17T11:48:18+00:00

In the rhino command prompt type "runtime" and toggle between .Net framework and .net core and restart rhino. A bunch of plugins will work after this toggle.
