Is there a name for this type of diagram that helps you pick the best subway car, depending on where you want to get off?
And have you ever seen some outside of Tokyo?
Because I want more of those, and I'm thinking about whether it's possible go generate them from existing data… OSM might help, but the staircases might often be missing, I guess?
Ah! Turns out that some bigger stations *do* have their platform staircases mapped, using OSM's "level=n" schema. So that's a start!
The renderers often hide everything that's not level=0, but you can view the data using tools like this one:

Centuries old European-centric American history debunked by archaeology and advanced genomics
The Pueblo, Pawnee, Comanche and Lakota traditional owners gain confirmation of what they have always being saying, that they'd been using horses centuries earlier than what the Western narrative have claimed.
This is incredibly exciting. Not just this case, but how there’s the potential for history to be rewritten in many other periods of history, provided science is given the opportunity to explore

People are discussing the water impact of AI, a topic that @jfleck and I discussed last year when he gave me a tour of the Albuquerque water system.
John encouraged me to compare AI to other water users. Karen Hao cites 50 million gallons a year from Microsoft's Phoenix datacenter. Golf courses in Phoenix use 80 million gallons per *day*.
When managing water, AI is important but there are other users that could make more of a difference.

Today I learnt that there is a practice of writing Chinese with the Arabic script, developed by Muslim minorities in China. It's called 小儿经 Xiao'erjing. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiao%2…
There's also a body of Chinese Islamic theological texts which meld Confucian and Islamic thought, called the Han Kitab. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Ki…
I don't know why I'm surprised. China has had Muslim ethnic minorities almost since the dawn of Islam. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hui_pe…
I got tired of accidentally hitting the mute key on my laptop or microphone and not being able to tell without going into mmsys.cpl and checking listen to this device, so I wrote a tiny program that sits in the background and reports your default input device's muted state with a global hotkey (control+alt+shift+m).
Source code: github.com/TheQuinbox/micstate
Binaries: github.com/TheQuinbox/micstate…
Update: it can now even detect microphones muted at the hardware level, but not detected as muted by Windows.

We've tied the Tutanota theme to the system-controlled night mode so the app will automatically default to the dark theme when the system switches to night mode.
This way you no longer need to switch between themes when it gets dark at night. 🌃🌞
