  @JEllulz I liked when I was working in Los Angeles and Waze introduced the no unprotected left hand turns feature.

  @scumbagdotdll @Molaau6 It's worth using today. Some QoL features were added, like cop call outs aren't possible if the reporting user is stationary; requires 2-3 repeats to validate; etc. Honestly, it seems like cops prefer Waze these days because people slow tf down and it's less tickets that they have to write. Less interaction with the public = less opportunity for incident.

  @thsottiaux Reverse engineering the USB protocol between lightburn/ezcad to a 100W fiber laser I have that I've avoided using because the software is so meh. Maybe if I build a programatic interface I'll actually use it. Launch an app I've been working on for months thats like super waze ; connects to radar detectors and shares the pings with other users. Spend a good evening reviewing new tools/skills and workflow stuff.

  @DanielCars05 Anybody had any issues getting sound from waze when using one of these?

  Orvill Samanta (@orvilldesign) reported 11 minutes ago

  Why is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

  @jessisajew Yep. I'm a happy Waze customer in the US, and excited to continue to use it in Israel. Now about that Moovit app... it's tied with Pango, and I'm having trouble getting them to change out a card that I used 3 years ago because it now requires Israeli ID to use?

  @phibetakitten Don’t get me wrong. It will reach the closed road and detour just fine. The problem was that so many roads were closed, it kept mapping to the closed roads and then doing detours. It was almost endless at one point. Using Waze I was able to navigate it in 1/10 the time

  @Dan_Donovan_17 @HoldenMaur50368 Nobody is arguing that the GPS became more refined after Waze was opened. That’s normal. The issue is that you are treating the data interpretation as absolute and undisputed when it wasn’t. A more accurate GPS signal does not automatically prove the CW timeline or interpretation of events. Green’s point was about how the timestamps and various phone artifacts aligned with each other not whether GPS accuracy improved from 20m to 5m.

  Ihtesham Ali (@ihtesham2005) reported 16 minutes ago

  A mathematician invented the algorithm inside every GPS on earth while sitting in a café in Amsterdam with no pen and no paper, worked it out in his head in 20 minutes, and did not bother publishing it for three years. His name was Edsger Dijkstra. He was born in Rotterdam in 1930, the son of a chemist father and a mathematician mother. He studied mathematics and physics at the University of Leiden, earned his PhD in computing from the University of Amsterdam in 1959, and became the first professional programmer in the Netherlands at age 21. The café story is real, and the detail that makes it strange is this: he was not trying to solve a famous problem. He was trying to find a demo impressive enough for a public audience. In 1956, his lab at the Mathematical Centre in Amsterdam had just finished building a new computer called the ARMAC. They needed to show it off at an inauguration ceremony to an audience of non-technical people. Dijkstra needed a problem that regular people could understand, with an answer they could verify. He landed on one: given a map of Dutch cities connected by roads, what is the shortest route between two of them? He was shopping with his fiancée Ria in Amsterdam when the solution came to him. They stopped at a café. He sat down, no paper, no pencil, and spent 20 minutes working through it entirely in his head. When he stood up, he had the algorithm. He used it for the inauguration. It worked. He then filed it away and did not publish it for three years because, as he later explained, he was not sure it was worth a paper. He thought it was too simple. That algorithm now has a name. Dijkstra's algorithm. It finds the shortest path between any two points in a network. Every GPS navigation system on earth runs it when you ask for directions. Every internet router runs it to decide where to send your data packets. Every airline uses it for flight path optimization. Every logistics company uses it to route deliveries. Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, every mapping tool you have ever opened, all of them are running a version of what one Dutch mathematician worked out in his head over a cup of coffee in 1956. He did not stop there. In 1965 he invented the concept of the semaphore, the mechanism that lets multiple programs share a computer's resources without crashing into each other. Every operating system on earth uses semaphores. Every time your phone runs ten apps at once without any of them corrupting each other's memory, that is Dijkstra's idea holding things together underneath. In 1968 he published a two-page letter to a computing journal with the title "Go To Statement Considered Harmful." The letter argued that a common programming instruction called goto, which let a program jump to any arbitrary point in its own code, was making programs impossible to understand and debug. He called for removing it from all serious programming languages entirely. The letter caused an immediate uproar. Programmers who had built careers on goto were furious. Dijkstra received angry letters for years. The programming community eventually concluded he was completely right. The structured programming approach he was advocating, where code flows through clear, predictable logic rather than jumping unpredictably around, became the foundation of how every modern programming language is designed. Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, every language you can name was built around the principle Dijkstra defended in two pages in 1968. He won the Turing Award in 1972. Now the part almost nobody knows. Dijkstra refused to own a television. He refused to own a video player. He never owned a mobile phone. He never sent an email. His house in Nuenen in the Netherlands was small and plain. He played the piano and listened to Mozart. From the early 1970s until his death in 2002, he wrote every research paper, every technical note, every letter, and every lecture by hand with a fountain pen. He numbered them sequentially using his initials as a prefix: EWD. EWD1, EWD2, all the way to EWD1318, his last note, written four months before he died. When he finished each one, he made photocopies and mailed them to colleagues around the world. That was his publishing system. Fountain pen, paper, photocopier, post office. More than 1,300 of those handwritten documents have been scanned and are now archived at the University of Texas. Researchers still read them. New papers still cite them. His reasoning for refusing computers in his own work was precise, not eccentric. He believed that the friction of writing by hand forced him to think more carefully before committing anything to paper. The ease of editing on a computer, he thought, made it too tempting to produce volume instead of clarity. He wanted every sentence to be worth the effort of writing it. He died on August 6, 2002, in Nuenen. He was 72. The man who invented the algorithm your phone uses to give you directions never used a phone. The man who shaped how every programmer writes code wrote his own work exclusively by hand. The man whose ideas run silently inside every connected device on earth chose to live without almost all of them. He just wanted to think clearly. Everything else followed.

  @ZachAbramowitz It's heavily context dependent. For some use cases, the downside is equivalent to getting lost from Waze. In others, it's more like a car crash.

  Ever cried on the road? Well, 01.00am, I am in Abu Dhabi, both Waze & Google Maps are not working. The signage is blacked out. 20 mins of frustration, driving & not knowing where you are going. I just started crying. Wanted to drive back to Dubai but had left something at the hotel. Pulled over to order a taxi to guide me but couldn’t even pin to my location. Na ni highways. Hakuna maduka to ask

  @emollick And I'm convinced that Waze does the opposite... Always prefer the slow route through a residential neighbourhood so the users feels like they're taking a "shortcut".

  @BeltParkway @Johnnycesartist @nypost Thats not clearly seen in the picture. But Waze can help with that. In fact when I am forced to slow down too much, I start marking police locations in waze as a F U to the speed trap cops.

  Shouldn’t Tesla fix its navigation issues instead of terrafab first? I know many like my fam that paused FSD subscription due to continuous navigation intervention. I man even Mapquest is more accurate. Hear me out: solution? Terra Giga Map Fab. A 335 football field long factory that will be the platinum (not gold) standard of all mapping. Compute won’t be a problem for this either because the terrafab 1 will then be joined by terrafab 2 which will be 10x larger for colossal compute power. I know I know you are asking “but why not just license and integrate Fkn Waze?” Well, for that we have to wait for Elons master plan 18 due in 2029

  @EyrahClyne @XavierNaxa I use it a lot. Due to navigation is easy to understand. But a lot of bugs still need to be reported and fix, need more users to use and reports. Even GMap or Waze still has bugs with large user base. Sometimes Apple Maps has newer update that them
