There are also ventilation structures for the various railroad and subway tunnels that cross the NYC rivers, but their smaller size makes them less prominent. (The electric trains that use these tunnels don't produce exhaust that has to be as aggressively vented as in an automotive tunnel).
Let me just mention that photographing buildings from across the major avenues during the day in midtown Manhattan is like playing a video game in "extreme hardcore" mode.
It wouldn't hurt to add some more ventilation to the subway tunnels though... There was a study years ago that found the black carbon in air levels in the subway were something like 3x at street level iirc...

The Lincoln Tunnel, opened in 1937, is a multi-tube automobile tunnel that connects midtown Manhattan with Weehawken, NJ under the Hudson (North) river. To provide fresh air and remove dangerous car exhaust, three ventilation towers (two in Manhattan and one in NJ) exchange the air in the tunnels approximately every 90 seconds.
Infrastructure is heroic.
I didn't notice the "Camera Use Prohibited" sign until it was too late. I guess their secret is out now.
@mattblaze HAHAHA been there and done that with those signs

Intelligenza artificiale generativa e editing di Wikipedia: cosa abbiamo imparato nel 2025
Come molte organizzazioni, Wiki Education si confronta da diversi anni con l'intelligenza artificiale generativa, i suoi impatti, le sue opportunità e le sue minacce. In quanto organizzazione che gestisce programmi su larga scala per portare nuovi editor su Wikipedia (siamo responsabili di circa il 19% di tutti i nuovi editor attivi su Wikipedia in inglese ), abbiamo una profonda comprensione delle sfide che devono affrontare i nuovi contributori di contenuti su Wikipedia e di come supportarli nel loro lavoro di editing. Poiché molte persone hanno iniziato a utilizzare chatbot basati sull'intelligenza artificiale generativa come ChatGPT, Gemini o Claude nella loro vita quotidiana, non sorprende che le persone prendano in considerazione l'idea di utilizzarli anche per aiutare a redigere i contributi su Wikipedia. Poiché i programmi di Wiki Education forniscono una coorte di contributori di contenuti il cui lavoro possiamo valutare, abbiamo esaminato come i nostri partecipanti utilizzano gli strumenti GenAI.

Gli studenti di cinema che non riescono più a guardare i film.La crisi di attenzione si riversa sul CINEMA - PAYWALL
Tutti sanno che è difficile convincere gli studenti universitari a leggere – ricordate i libri? Ma la crisi di attenzione non si limita alla parola scritta. I professori ora si stanno rendendo conto che non riescono nemmeno a convincere gli studenti di cinema – studenti di cinema – a guardare film.
"Pensavo che se guardare un film fosse il compito migliore in assoluto ", mi ha detto Craig Erpelding, professore di cinema all'Università del Wisconsin a Madison. "Ma gli studenti non lo fanno".

@kotaro if you can't give value to life, why giving it to something else?
Beauty is only something personal, maybe shared across people, but personal
So, love can only start from yourself
If you prefer something else, you prefer it because you are. So your preference depends on you, and your life is meaningful. So if you prefer something else, you prefer yourself.
What is is what it is. Maybe you want a change in you. Compassion is the only thing that can help
