  1. r6d5: Während des #jek25 haben wir das Lightning Talk Archive, kurz #LTA angefangen. Neben der Sammlung von verschiedenen LT-Session wollen wir auch den LT-Editor zu ende bauen.

    Ziel: jeden Talk erhält eine URL. Vergleichbar der Chapter-Marker von #peertube oder #youtube. Allein auf dem #39c3 gab es fast 50(!) Talks. Und dann gibt es ja noch die #FOSDEM viele, viel Peertube Instanzen uvm.

    Hier das #codeberg Repo:

    Do free off-peak rides signal gaps in urban planning?
    " #LTA described te initiative as 1yr pilot, but w te Cross Island Line (long-term solution to relieve North-East Line) opening only in 2030, crowd'g will persist for at least 5 more yrs.. Has there been a lapse in #urban & #transport #planning? Te heavy #congestion on NEL didn't happen overnite. Sengkang & Punggol hv seen rapid residential growth for yrs, yet #rail cc hasn't expanded in tandem"🤔 #SG60

    🧐"LTA is involved in auditing a #system it had designed & approved, which might present an inherent #conflictofinterest.. When te matter is abt whether #LTA is performing its #regulatory functions effectively, its best done by an #independent body tt can look at issues objectively & fr a detached perspective. It shldn't be done by a #taskforce chaired by te CEO of te same organization, as is now te case.. Its been >13 years since #COI raised these questions, and.. te problem keeps recurring"

  4. Commentary: To make #Singapore’s #MRT more #reliable, take a good hard look at LTA & te #rail operators
    "It's in te context of tis troublesome past tt te latest incidents ought to be viewed. If every minister has had to deal w tis issue in a major way, it isn't an ad hoc prob.. if te #government wants to satisfy itself tt there're no #systemic issues, it's to go beyond engineer'g matters & take a good hard look at te organisations themselves: #LTA, SMRT & SBS Transit"

    "LTA said tt it's aware of te incident. "While the engineer was addressing #safety lapses at te worksite, te manner in which he did so was inappropriate. We do not condone such behaviour," read te statement. The engineer has since been counselled & reminded of te #standards of #conduct expected of all staff"

  10. No mention of authorisation limits ($200k is >RMB1 mio) of those involved within the accused PRC company to determine "need to know", and thus culpability?🤔 #justice

    #HighCourt upholds acquittal of #Chinese company accused of #bribing ex- #LTA 🇸🇬 dy gp director
    "Xi & Zhou were arrested in 2019 by #CPIB. Aft being released on bail, they absconded to #China, where they were arrested & subsequently #convicted by a Guangzhou court.. China Railway Tunnel Group has 24 branches"

  11. Long-term archiving of digital data is probably the most challenging task in data management. This video clip by musician/producer/mixer/composer Billy Hume illustrates this in an entertaining way: youtube.com/watch?v=Zq4BOSaKiY (The link jumps directly to the relevant section, which is about 3 minutes long.)

  12. Commentary: Why do so many #tech 'solutions' only seem to create more #problems?
    "The #lack of #user #consideration in #techsolutions isn’t noticeable only in airport food courts. How many times hv u argued w your rideshare driver abt e best route to take to your destination? #LTA’s #SimplyGo #debacle is still fresh in many minds.. if the point of tech is to benefit #humanity then it shld be #designed in a way tt maximises said benefits without causing undue disamenities"

  13. #Trains hv useful lives of over 50 years if well-maintained. Did poor #maintenance cause this extensive outage?🤔

    More than 300 engineers, technicians working to repair 'extensive' damage on #EastWestLine
    "was returning to Ulu Pandan Depot when its #axlebox dislodged & dropped (!), said #SMRT & #LTA. This caused one bogie - or an undercarriage w wheels - to come off the running #rail btw Dover & Clementi stations. In turn this severely damaged the track & track equipment"

  14. This is the best tt #LTA's top engineers can do?🤔

    'Can't see incoming buses': Pillars at new bus stop opposite Parkway Parade draw commuters' ire
    "LTA told Today tt the support columns crucial for e stability of e #busstop are erected at e front due to site constraints such as underground drainage & space limitations. "The thickness & spacing of e columns were #carefully #considered to still allow #visibility of oncoming #buses while ensuring the #safety of e structure""

  15. Video footage of launch operations of one of the two #Thunderhead balloons performed by Aerostar at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport, Guam, during exercise Valiant Shield 2024.

  16. Today I discovered a new function while #ki prompting with #chatgpt. You can mark areas in an image and formulate a natural language "instruction" that only applies to this area. Wow! This solves a mega annoyance I've had with Chattie over the last few weeks: I only wanted to have one detail changed, but always got a completely new picture. Anyway, here's my island #Utopia with #SolarPunk & #Hundertwasser attitudes; supplemented by an #LTA #blimp.

    Study Taiwan’s EasyCard system
    "EasyCard is linked to an app where people can top up online, check their travel history & de-link the card to protect their card balance in case of loss. Card deductions & balances r also displayed on fare readers. EasyCard can last 20 years VS #ezlink card’s 5 years. ( #LTA) shld study this account-based sys & improve the lifespan of cards rolled out in e future. This wld address #commuters’ concerns"
