  1. Don't panic
  2. Update everything
  3. Don't connect to untrusted wifi
  4. Hope every ISP you use has secure infrastructure that doesn't allow MitM attacks easily, because the normal protection from that was these kinds of certificates (afaik, not an expert, correct me if I'm wrong)

    What's with artificial sweeteners? We started making our own iced tea and I drink about 2.5 litres of it per day, with a cloud of stevia in there. Apart from a mild laxative effect I'm not aware of any acute health or sleep risks?

    Lol, I too have simulated a human brain (I have played the sims) and simulated a universe of tens of billions of lightyears across (with only two stars)

    Jokes aside, the idea of using some trained model to generate candidates, then using supercomputers to verify makes sense as long as the AI is cheaper/faster per good result than other heuristics.

    Tl;dr: I want a "fewer traffic lights, more dedicated bike paths" option.

    I know enough about programming and math to assume there's some form of (weighted) graph underlying the routing function (is this straight up openstreetmaps or some conversion in between?), in which case it's not stupid to assume this can be done IF the info is in openstreetmaps.

    So what I'd like is (pointers to where I'm likely to find the info are also appreciated) :

    • what information is available in openstreetmaps that would be helpful for this?
    • how does this info get into CoMaps?
    • how is this info used in the routing?
    • is this a feature other people want and/or does CoMaps accept contributions in code (if it seems feasible)?

    Thanks in advance!
