How much code now comes from AI? With @simonedaniotti.bsky.social, @xfeng.bsky.social & Frank Neffke we estimate that by end-2024 30% of Python functions pushed by US devs on GitHub are AI-generated. Adoption is rapid but diffusion lags globally. How did we do it? arxiv.org/abs/2506.08945

Roads are supposed to connect us. So why do so many highways tear our social networks apart?

🚧 Urban Highways: Fast Travel, But at What Cost? 🚗💔
A study by @sandorjuhasz.bsky.social et al. shows highways may speed up travel but disrupt social connections, especially over short distances (under 5 km). The research highlights how highways create barriers to social ties. 👉 shorturl.at/vXUFa

Urban highways are promised to get people to their destinations faster—and bring them together. But at the same time, they reduce social connections between

🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2408937122

Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

Map showing a highway section in red and social ties in space crossing the highway. Wherever a tie crosses the highway, there is a cross. There are 94 crosses.

"Urban Highways Are Barriers to Social Ties" out on PNAS!
The 1st large-scale measure of how highways weaken social connections between the communities they separate. This barrier effect is strong in the 50 largest US cities--especially for low-income Black communities.

We illustrate from numerous aspects that highways are physical barriers that cut opportunities for social connections—in the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the US.
