if you haven't done trail work before - I strongly recommend it!!! the forest park conservancy is responsible for our trails being beautiful around Portland. All it takes is a single outing on unmaintained trails to viscerally feel how much is lost when trail work falls to the wayside

In case you missed it: there's going to be a free shuttle to Forest Park this summer! FPC will be hosting free events this summer like forest yoga, painting, bilingual hikes, and more. Want to join us? Take the shuttle and we will see you on the trails! forestparkconservancy.org/get-involved...

hit a similar issue a few times, when I asked: - Please write a regression test first, check that it fails - Then write the fix Where claude will write an insufficient test, see that it passes, and move on happily. Such a straightforward mistake, but pretty bad if uncaught!

As someone who drives in SE PDX more than I bike, my goals are, in-order: 1. Don't murder anyone 2. Get where I'm going Making streets safer for cyclists helps me (and other drivers) do (1) without impeding (2). Bring back the planters!

Love how these advocates call the bluff on the dubious reasoning behind removing beloved diverter-lite planters: just bolt the damn things to the ground and keep it pushing.

Holman lane is one of my favorite hills in forest park. Yesterday I organized a little group run to go up and down it all day long. We raised a few hundred dollars for forest park conservancy! Perhaps I need to rally the runners for more hills repeat events soon 👀

> “Our fiscal system only works with immense growth,” says Mike Wilkerson, director of economic research at Portland-based ECOnorthwest. “That’s our economic strategy.” Not wrong, and choosing to ignore this will imperil way too many public services that we can't afford to lose.

This is a great explainer of the MultCo budget and how it's evolved this past 10 yrs. None of this should be surprising to anyone paying even a little bit of attention: there's a structural gap between revenue and expenses, and we spend a ton of money on social services. One more thing though...🧵1/x

This is a "Jane Jacob's" classic take, which would be one of the most significant ways to improve Portland. It's slightly counter-intuitive from a left political perspective, but this area (zoning) is one where I firmly believe reducing bureaucracy, mandates, & laws would be a game-changer

Here's what I'd tell Wilson if he asked today: 1) Let people share roofs, pipes & land if they want to...most notably, do @pnwelcome.bsky.social's Inner Eastside for All upzone portlandneighborswelcome.org/inner-eastsi...

the recent AI discourse has me feeling things, so it's still worth stating for the record: - AI as a "self-justified product" for end-users is usually shit - AI for tooling does not release you from responsibility of what is produced - You can (and should) still do things by hand, whenever you want

in college I took courses on machine learning. As a part of that, we built simple neural networks - from scratch - which could generate text, make classifications, etc. If you really hate AI, consider what the breaking point might be here. Do you truly hate the technology, or the way it's applied?

It's possible to be skeptical and concerned about AI companies (disinformation, neurosis, lack of critical thinking, job security, plagiarism) while also acknowledging usage patterns of the public. quote responses to this reinforce how correct @davidcrespo.bsky.social is about "bubble opinion"

this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
