  Is it only me or @waze and @googlemaps are slow today? Waza say no signal lmao

  @NotATeslaApp The map data in my area is so bad. What's frustrating is, it *used* to read the signs and no problem. But now I see the sign rendered on the vis OK but it still won't use it. Wish there was a way to report bad data, like you can with Waze.

  @TrooperBenKs The whole reason apps like Waze, or for instance Camsam in Germany, are so populair is because of speeding tickets for speeds that maybe over a limit but are not unsafe by default. In the Netherlands they issue 6,5 million speeding tickets a year of which 80% is for 1 to 10 km/h

  I am not using Waze as I do not drive but when I was, indeed my position and my username was seen. That is now it works and why it is, was, free. I am not saying that the clever method to scraped is, well, clever, but with all the Claudes around it is hardly a problem. What is mind-blowing is the sensationalism of this platform. Have I missed something in the post — I got bored and did not read the whole, realising that it is based on users reporting things — or is it really just about that?

  And another thing, since I am ranting, and with regards to the Waze tweet. When I started cooking semi-professionally (three years ago), the idea of a homemade pasta sounded exciting. And it was. I almost bought a machine for all kinds of Italian oddities. I made it a few times. Very good. Completely pointless. When it comes to pasta, there are a few Italian brands that are *good*. They have been around and, yes, their pasta is not as good as homemade. Who cares. I may spend hours making, drying, cooking, and end up with a product that is maginally better than a good-branded one. If at all. And I would have wasted this time on making things that actually matter. Even a simple cacio e pepe is a skill that cannot be replaced with a store-bought jar. I can make pasta. All kinds of shapes. No one cares. So I focused on making better cacio e pepe. That is coding, and that is also my speciality: hardware security. I excel at this, but so does everyone else at my previous level. No one cares. Anyone can "dump the firmware". No secret with FTDI, even Saleale or derivates. Seven million blog posts about it. "Find three pads, get root." And there comes AI, which does all that anyway. I had to become better, so I did. I use AI for boring tasks because I cannot be bothered but also to know where I excel, where AI cannot go. I know why, I know how, I know how to direct my mechanical minion. And I will use it as my brain. And that is also coding. For my second job I need to make some hardware interface between X and Y. I used CharGPT to discuss needs, platforms, design considerations. I will use it to flesh out Alpha. Then I will ask it to make a prompt to Claude Code, and the latter will just do it, deal with ***, toolchains, all that. It will work. You know C and others and can write it efficiently? I am glad. I know C and others to fix code AI throws, and direct it. And I will have it ready in a fraction of a time. I can brag that I know .asm for several uCs, startink from 68k, 8051s, up to modern era. So what. No one cares. No one benefits. No one gets paid. I am not bragging about my skills; I am highlighting the issue with "AI will take my job" that I have realised seeing the Waze tweet. AI has already taken your job. I have no idea how to write .py, mostly because I am lazy. Now I do not have to. You do? Better that Claude? Maybe. I can make a better pasta than one can buy in-store. But I will make a better dinner.

  Thank you @Waze !! The crash at 120th and Davenport. There was no other info out about that.

  @Harrris0n @urosnoetic This is less of a waze issue and more of a humans blindly trust companies issue

  I wonder if there was a way @waze and @fixmystreet could share data. All those potholes on Waze directly into fix my Street.

  I thought my Waze app was broken after repeating “pothole reported ahead” every 5 seconds. Then I just realized I’m driving through Tennessee.

  @DeoWatti @krisdyer_1 @marisekjg If I'd known how nasty it was, I'd have passed Anderson side. Atp, it looked like the usual after school Shoppes of Maraval shenanigans. Is only when I was stuck in traffic heading to Champs Elysees and Waze told me Morne Coco would be quicker that I realised I was in trouble.

  @TigerFan1107 @TheJFreakinC Why is that a problem? If it were a crime Waze and Google Maps couldn't have the location of cops on the side of the highway.

  So, what app are people using to plan routes these days? Are google maps, waze etc working to take into account blockades?

  Did you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

  @Heston83 If we all allowed DOT/traffic operations to track us via GPS, like Waze users, they could have dynamic traffic lights that could sort out traffic light sequences in real time… Once all cars are self driving , congestion will go WAY down. Cultural adoption will slow it down
