🚄 Where can you go by train in Europe - 8h edition! I made an update to chronotrains.com, with configurable travel times from 1-8h, and more frequent data updates.

A few recent updates to Chronotrains: - much cleaner isochrones design, i'm so happy about this one! - see destinations reachable in up to 12h - revamped the navigation controls - some data upgrades, including better suggestions. Tiny details compound :)

I'm trying the same. Not completely off mapbox for directions, traffic, search, but at least the base map and style are on protomaps+maplibre: benmaps.fr

Benmaps — Maps and directions

Search places and plan driving, cycling, and walking routes with Benmaps.

after considering mapbox's pricing, priorities, and history of anti-union activity, we've decided to move parchment's first-class rendering engine to @maplibre. we're developing a beautiful, open source map style that anyone can use, for free, forever

Clair, the beautiful @protomaps basemap, has a dark mode as well - a lot of cartographic care went into this, feeling pretty happy about it!

more 3d modelling with opus and sonnet. Check out the Protomaps basemap style + landmarks available at clair.benmaps.fr/demo?3d=1&l…

Just like we used to have a button for "temperature".

I'm getting increasingly tired of thinking about reasoning effort levels. In the near future, models will reason as much or as little as needed, and we'll feel silly for exposing 5+ options in a dropdown.

I've updated benmaps.fr for the first time in probably 10 years? - Protomaps basemap, with a new cartography called Clair: clair.benmaps.fr/ - 3d landmarks, very much WIP (currently just Paris) but it's a start! - Still free with no tracking/ads/cookies.

Can't believe 1.3k people think this is a good use case when local models would do the same in <2ms e.g. Desert Ant's Emo.

.@tibo frustrating thing on the ChatGPT/Codex app: - click new chat within a project - type long prompt - hit send, forgot you didn't switch to Codex mode before sending - click "Continue in codex" - thread goes to Codex NOT in the project (incl. folder permissions, etc).

Second feedback: on MacOS, the Pet uses the same keyboard shortcut as Raycast. Annoying! Given the recent feedback around removing the pet feature, could you at least change the shortcut (or detect if it's bound in another app?)

.@theo t3code feedback: - looks amazing - plans need a full-screen, no distractions reading mode (esp the input bar squeezes its space a lot) - settings for changing the default branch name `t3code/...`?
