go for it!

your example (from market & taylor to the top of nob hill) is a nice illustration: (1) straight up taylor is 229 ft of climbing at 25%, (2) via polk and california it's 251 ft at 13%.

as you probably noticed, we only look at the total elevation gain, so taylor "wins"... but I see the argument for preferring an extra 20ft of a more gradual climb.

Google Maps absolutely failed.

Would be fun to rig up something for these cities. Which are you in btw?

seems like a worthy addition to the objective!

Cabrillo is a Slow Street, and the parser read its "destination-only" tag as closed to pedestrians, so the tool couldn't see the street at all (and started you a block over?). fixed and deployed; your trip should now go Cabrillo → 23rd → Geary.

Obviously RSU grants / bonuses are excluded from this, but I still find that surprisingly low (as a salary cap) for FAANG, especially around SF.

Particularly for things involving reviews or booking, I have noticed an uptick in the (subjectively) “right” result being kept off page 1... it seems almost like some post processing logic to favor specific sites/companies. The fact that the “right” result in these instances is almost always the first result makes me think the true Ranking function knows the result’s actual value.

Pianist and YouTuber Nahre Sol has a great set of exercises based on modifying passages of Chopin etudes, which serve as excellent material to study both as a template and in their own right. [1][2] She varies harmony and rhythm, and takes the exercise through all 12-keys. Much harder than just learning the passage in the original key, but that's the whole point.
