Would really be nice if they did the same with their ads, but don't see that happening

The ads are labeled, much more so than the AI generated content.

No they need to label ads that are AI. Youtube is flooded with scam ads made with AI and they consistently ignore reports. They even pretend to not be able to do anything about ads impersonating people to promote crypto scams.

The same could really be said for Quantum/Shor IMO.

Some of this has to also do w/ the environment. If you have a solid weekend pickup game of any kind and a park/rink/court closes it is pretty much the end of that group, as much as you might try to find another spot it is never the same.

We need smarter dynamic fares, it shouldn't be a $6 flat tax on all destinations. I think this hurts local businesses, or all local (non business) residents should automatically get half fare.

The opposite actually tends to increase ridership; complex fare systems put people off and tend to make getting on the bus more time consuming (may require each passenger to interact with the driver).

Since it is already mostly paid for by taxes why not just make it free.

Didn't realize some cities had voted it in post-COVID, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_public_transport

Might be worth digging through MicroRTS too, https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/MicroRTS (it's been abandoned), Python RL interface @ https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/MicroRTS-Py ... I think there was some strategy work there.

Extremely helpful, do you have a post about how this works on the backend?

Glad you like it! its pretty simple honestly. Just takes the state of the board, move history etc and passes it into a prompt asking for analysis

Thanks for post/link, excellent chapter on multiobjective optimization, any other books/material with that focus?
