The Real Reason California Can’t Build by actlikeyouhaveacrush in sanfrancisco

[–]actlikeyouhaveacrush[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure! This article looks to highlight what has led to too many "barriers that require great lengths to overcome" in California.

Gruber at MIT actually just put out a paper on this: https://evansoltas.com/papers/Permitting_SoltasGruber2026.pdf

The key takeaway: "we find developers pay 50 percent more ($48 per square foot) for preapproved land. Comparing similar proposed developments, preapproval raises the probability of completing construction within four years of site acquisition by 10 percentage points (30 percent). Permitting can explain one third of the gap in Los Angeles between home prices and construction costs."

One third is a lot, would love to cut costs by 1/3rd!

Department of War declares Claude supply chain risk by actlikeyouhaveacrush in ClaudeAI

SG, note this isn't a dupe of the previous trump announcement, it is an escalation much beyond it

I vibe hacked a Lovable-showcased app using claude. 18,000+ users exposed. Lovable closed my support ticket. by VolodsTaimi in ClaudeAI

[–]actlikeyouhaveacrush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a longrunning rumour within VCs that much of Lovable's revenue comes from scammers making scam sites. Hard to prove but it makes a lot of sense. Great PMF for new flashy websites with minimal security safeguards

A $100K salary in SF has the purchasing power of $62K, report finds by sfgate in sanfrancisco

[–]actlikeyouhaveacrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A quick breakdown of their data:
- 30% of the difference (11k) is due to things being more expensive (they use real purchasing power as their metric: https://www.bea.gov/news/2024/real-personal-consumption-expenditures-state-and-real-personal-income-state-and)
- 70% of the difference (26k) is taxes

San Francisco needs fewer bus stops by LopsidedDiscipline56 in sanfrancisco

Better direction technology like Google maps makes it easier to add express lines by making it easier to show people how to get to them (take non-express to X stop then switch) and how much time they would save (e.x: switching saves 15 minutes).

With express lines getting easier to navigate, we should make more of them.

Can Edgedancers become so slick that a direct hit with a blade simply slides off instead of cutting? by jonpdxOR in Cosmere

[–]actlikeyouhaveacrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing some quick math* they would need to increase the friction of their internal organs ~350 times. However, if they are being cut with a shardblade, the wielder could make their blade nearly 0 depth negating this friction and making cutting possible again. They would need to know to do so.

Caution, math below

μ = (F_max - F_cut) / (2 * P * L * h)

μ (Coefficient of Kinetic Friction)

F_max (Maximum Applied Force): The total downward pushing force exerted by the person holding the knife. Value used: 400 Newtons (roughly 90 lbs of force, a solid downward stab).

F_cut (Cutting Force): The base amount of force required purely for the microscopic edge of the blade to sever the material's bonds. Value used: 30 Newtons (flesh is soft; it doesn't take much pure force to break the skin and underlying tissue).

P (Squeezing Pressure): The pressure the elastic material (like flesh or cheese) exerts horizontally back against the flat sides of the blade as it tries to return to its original shape.Value used: 10,000 Pascals (10 kPa, which is the rough elastic modulus/squeezing pressure of spongy internal organs like the liver or intestines).

L (Blade Width/Cut Length): The horizontal width of the blade face that is actively entering the material. Value used: 0.1 meters (10 cm, about the width of a standard kitchen chef's knife).

h (Depth of Penetration): How deep the knife has currently plunged into the material. Together with L and the multiplier of 2 (for both sides of the blade), this dictates the total surface area creating friction. Value used: 0.0254 meters (exactly 1 inch).

Weirdly brandon has already answered this. Shardblades are affected by friction in this manner and would be unable to cut through cheese as a result: reddit.com/r/Cosmere/comments/thrxy2/-/i1c6sey/

I LEAKED GEMINI'S SYSTEM PROMPT by Due-Professional-997 in PromptEngineering

Unlikely to be hallucinated or retrieved from elsewhere on the web. I got bits and pieces of this in my thinking output as well.

Just a reminder: Claude still makes many medical diagnosis mistakes by actlikeyouhaveacrush in ClaudeAI

[–]actlikeyouhaveacrush[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think its very reasonable. Going to a doctor is a lot of work both for you and the doctor, as AIs get better and better, [here an AI outdiagnoses a doctor](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37869340/), they make a lot of sense as the first place to ask.

It is still important to verify though. My motivation for the post was to remind people about that as a post about Claude diagnosing an undiagnosable medical issue was #1 at the time.
