You can still get America.gov’s chatbot to come out of its shell if you encourage it gently, with technocractic enticements and a pinch of ignorance.
#Jan6 #ChatBots #americagov

Partial transcript of chat with America.gov: Officially, Congress declared Joseph R. Biden, Jr. elected President and Kamala D. Harris elected Vice President by completing the January 6, 2021 electoral-vote count and announcing the result. That is what 3 U.S.C. § 15 treats as the declaration of election: the President of the Senate announces the counted votes, and that announcement is “a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected.” A U.S. government statement the next day used the …

Cool! TIL from a chatbot — #Voyager spacecraft “landmark” incoming, November 18th!
(We need a better word for this) #NASA

Friday Links 26-33
Two weeks of links and quite a few urbanism ones, mostly about the new Oxford Street.
I recommend the podcast about the "fat bikes" ban in the Netherlands.
The engineering articles about Coding Alone and small-change code reviews are very good too.

Two weeks of links and quite a few urbanism ones, mostly about the new Oxford Street. I recommend the podcast about the “fat bikes” ban in the Netherlands. The engineering articles about Coding Alone and small-change code reviews are very good too. Quote of the Week How does a manager motivate his subordinates? For most of us, the word implies doing something to another person. But I don’t think that can happen, because motivation has to come from within somebody. Accordingly, all a mana…

Stumbled on this great article about urban rats. Which contains the great title "Urban rodentologist"
theguardian.com/world/2024/jan

Eat, spray, love: a day in the life of one of Britain’s 80 million rats
In Britain, more and more people are seeking advice about rat control. In New York, they have had to call in a ‘rat tsar’. So what does a day in the life of these furry vermin actually look like?

Check out the ratio on our “urbanist”-flavored real estate lobby group’s disingenuous ad against affordable housing.
The reason SPUR’s backers really oppose it: they think they can get the transfer tax repealed otherwise and want that $114m in profit. SF is not buying it. #YesonI #sfpol

Ad from SPUR recommending No on I because it takes $114 million out of the general fund. They have 13 comments and only one like.

Ach, wenn die Menschen einander so wertvoll wären, wie ihre Nutztiere!
Es gäbe urbane Managementpläne: Wenn es in einer Stadt von März bis März mehr als drei Verkehrstote gab, müssen 10% der Autos abgemeldet werden.

Jetzt zwei Gebiete: Hier dürfen ganze Wolfsrudel geschossen werden
Ab 1. November düfen laut niedersächsischem "Managementplan" ganze Wolfsrudel geschossen werden - allerdings nur in sogenannten Interventionsgebieten. Davon gibt es seit Mittwoch zwei in Niedersachsen: In Werlte und Dörpen.

Spannende Recherche von ZEITonline zum Thema Bäume in der Stadt: Von den untersuchten Städten hat
Mannheim den geringsten Anteil Schatten durch Bäume (14%, vgl. Berlin: 32%) und dazu einen der höchsten Anteile an Versiegelung (61%). Wenig überraschend resultieren daraus die höchsten durchschnittlichen Oberflächentemperaturen im Sommer (37,8°C, vgl. Berlin 33,4°C). Fazit: Stadtgrün ist die beste Klimaanlage

Mittlere Oberflächentemperatur ausgewählter deutscher Großstädte in den Sommermonaten 2013 bis 2025 in Grad Celsius: Berlin 33,5 Grad, Mannheim 36,8

Bei meinem Besuch im Kienbergpark bin ich übrigens auf den am 6.10. neueröffneten Audiowalk gestoßen. Gestaltet wurde der vom #CampusStadtNatur
Hörenswert!
