Ég velti því fyrir mér hvort það verði einhver athöfn, líkt og þegar Ok var minnst fyrir sex árum, um endalok bókaþjóðarinnar... 🤔
Það segja mér kennarar að börn fá fæst bækur núorðið. Ég óttast að eftir eina kynslóð í viðbót verður bókaútgafa komin í mýflugumynd.

READ THIS: Still probably the best #ChristmasEve tradition I’ve heard. Iceland definitely does Christmas well — my Reykjavik clients had funny comments about this! Are you planning to curl up with a great new book on cities this #Christmas? Share your pick with us using hashtag #UrbanismBookClub!

Usually the question posed is whether AI's human like responses imply that they might be regarded as conscious.
This disturbs some, but rarely is it asked whether we're simply not as conscious as we assume — and would like to think — we are.

Bluesky has the juice.
I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

Já, nema hvað bankarnir eiga ekkert endilega að skila eigendum hagnaði. Sé markaðurinn frjáls heldur samkeppni verði (og þar með hagnaði) niðri.

When it comes to designing cities for biking and walking, Ghent Belgium may still not be as well known as Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Paris yet, but it’s one of the most inspiring cities in the world. I was honoured to do some work with them in 2019. Watch @streetfilms.bsky.social’s fantastic video:

One of my absolutely favorite things about Korea is the public transit. There are buses, trains, and subways running across most the country and it's relatively easy to get anywhere without a car. There's still work to be done to make it 100% disability friendly but it is so much better than the US.
This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

Þetta mætti fá meiri athygli: Kosningaþátttaka er mun meiri en hún hefur verið í áratugi. Hefur hangið í kringum 25% síðan 2013 en stefnir í að verða (miðað við uppgefnar tölur) yfir 40% nú.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

There’s a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect happening where people who read widely, consider various perspectives, and put in effort to understand views they disagree with worry that they don’t do that enough, while people who don’t do any of that accuse others of being in a bubble and call it a day.
