Good questions on AI from Verity Harding: 'We should be thinking: ‘What do we want and how do we use technology?’, not ‘What technology is coming that we just have to put up with’ ... Why aren’t we harnessing the incredible power of AI to help solve the climate crisis? Why do we act as if humanity is helpless to control something it’s actively inventing?'

Towards a generalized accessibility measure for transportation equity and efficiency
Rajat Verma, Mithun Debnath, Shagun Mittal, Satish V. Ukkusuri
arxiv.org/abs/2404.04985 arxiv.org/pdf/2404.04985
arXiv:2404.04985v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Locational measures of accessibility are widely used in urban and transportation planning to understand the impact of the transportation system on influencing people's access to places. However, there is a considerable lack of measurement standards and publicly available data. We propose a generalized measure of locational accessibility that has a comprehensible form for transportation planning analysis. This metric combines the cumulative opportunities approach with gravity-based measures and is capable of catering to multiple trip purposes, travel modes, cost thresholds, and scales of analysis. Using data from multiple publicly available datasets, this metric is computed by trip purpose and travel time threshold for all block groups in the United States, and the data is made publicly accessible. Further, case studies of three large metropolitan areas reveal substantial inefficiencies in transportation infrastructure, with the most inefficiency observed in sprawling and non-core urban areas, especially for bicycling. Subsequently, it is shown that targeted investment in facilities can contribute to a more equitable distribution of accessibility to essential shopping and service facilities. By assigning greater weights to socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods, the proposed metric formally incorporates equity considerations into transportation planning, contributing to a more equitable distribution of accessibility to essential services and facilities.

Abstract: Locational measures of accessibility are widely used in urban and transportation planning to understand the impact of the transportation system on influencing people's access to places. However, there is a considerable lack of measurement standards and publicly available data. We propose a generalized measure of locational accessibility that has a comprehensible form for transportation planning analysis. This metric combines the cumulative opportunities approach with gravity-based measures and is capable of catering to multiple trip purposes, travel modes, cost thresholds, and scales of analysis. Using data from multiple publicly available datasets, this metric is computed by trip purpose and travel time threshold for all block groups in the United States, and the data is made publicly accessible. Further, case studies of three large metropolitan areas reveal substantial inefficiencies in transportation infrastructure, with the most inefficiency observed in sprawling and non-core urban areas, especially for bicycling. Subsequently, it is shown that targeted investment in facilities can contribute to a more equitable distribution of accessibility to essential shopping and service facilities. By assigning greater weights to socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods, the proposed metric formally incorporates equity considerations into transportation planning, contributing to a more equitable distribution of accessibility to essential services and facilities.

So apparently raspberrypi.com want to get in to the VPN business with their (currently free) "Raspberry Pi Connect" service.
Instead of giving your data to some central authority I recommend Yggdrasil which is completely Free Open Source Software with no need to sign up to anything.
Or make your own mesh VPN with Wireguard, but Yggdrasil is easier.

Went on threads and started asking any threads engineers/meta employee I could find why #mstdnca was not federated.
Got an answer that someone is looking into it. Stay tuned!

Any reason why mstdn.ca is unable to federate
with threads? They did not block threads, the
admin is saying that they are being blocked from
your side.
It's the largest instance in Canada.
