Building an email/text drip campaign, and there don't seem to be any good tools for vibe coding it All of the tools are still stuck in a handcrafted "no code" paradigm instead of just letting me describe the campaign, share context, and have an agent produce it

If you live in SF, you can whip out your phone, snap a picture in 1 second, and get your problem solved by the city. You can also see a real time view of all of the problems in your neighborhood. The best new app I've added to my phone in a long time
The city cleans trash from your 311 reports and they give you photos proving it π§΅

"I loved Cabin for its people. Exactly the kind of neighbors Iβd live with. Sparkling eyes and warm hearts. Most of all, they were people who knew how to enjoy and build a community."
Was @cabindotcity the sorrowful Young Werther? This is a memoir. Citizens' feedback welcome @JonathanHillis People die and leave names. Communities die and spread spores. I am growing a mixbreed of Cabin and @nonce_community spores https://t.co/BWbwcdqzr5

This chart is so insane it looks fake. Huge businesses (plural) will be built on top of this chart.

I wonder how much of the root cause of the American βloneliness epidemicβ is house size per person doubling in the last 50 years Everyone is literally twice as far apart from each other, inside and outside the home

My son has been running around the house screaming TEAPOT! and I have to remind myself that he is referring to the song with the handle and spout, and not my internet friends

Human scaled dense urbanism that draws patterns from the worldβs best cities, builds economic agglomeration around American onshoring, prioritizes multimodal transit, and incorporates modern technology for developing classical beauty Great work from the CA Forever team

We have officially started adding net police officers on the streets of SF for the first time since 2018 Thanks to the whole Rebuilding the Ranks taskforce for the hard work to turn things around over the past 6 months
SFPD is making significant progress on hiring more officers, with the first net increase in 7 years. This morning, I visited the SFPD Academy, which has seen four full classes in a row, with a fifth scheduled for December. In addition, 195 officers have applied to join SFPD from

Proud to share an update on our work Rebuilding the Ranks over the past 6 months: We are adding net police officers in SF for the first time in over 5 years Weβve cut the time to hire police officers in half Much more work to do, but we are making progress towards a safer SF

Nothing. On a long timescale, good neighborhoods are the rarest good in the world. They are probably getting more rare. should disquiet more people than it does
i think its getting kind of played out to just get mad at the fact that a boomer could buy a house for $20,000, live in it for 30 years, and sell it for $2 million dollars. instead, what other than a house should i be buying right now to achieve those kinds of gains?

How long before self driving cars start hiding their sensors and tinting their windows to avoid getting constantly cut off by drivers and pedestrians who know they will stop?
