@taobanker Smart people aren't very conciliatory. This is the principal difference between AI and man.

Eu não sabia que a capivara era tão folgada.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel and he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, "A powerful new LLM was released, Clyde Sonata 10. Talk to it, it will cheer you up" Man bursts into tears, "But doctor, YOU are Clyde Sonata 10!"

@innerstitial Neat, that's new to me. Thank you

the longevity movement is dense & action-packed. Is there anybody working on reducing arthritis specifically? Would love to follow that angle of longevity if anyone has any x or substack recs

@IanDWyatt @pfitzsimmons @ChhatwalRaunak @mmjukic If i had the choice, I'd re-buy a 1988 and get airbags installed aftermarket.

[feastofassumption @assumptionfeast]

@IanDWyatt @pfitzsimmons @ChhatwalRaunak @mmjukic Huh, a goal of my driving education was "if the car had to rescue you by engaging the ABS, you were not driving defensively enough". So i maybe didn't notice bad braking due to driving style? Def believe it's likely to have improved tho

[feastofassumption @assumptionfeast]

@IanDWyatt @pfitzsimmons @ChhatwalRaunak @mmjukic But bench seats without the dumb aggressive-angle headrests are >>> modern trucks for comfort. I miss them but i am okay giving up some comfort in the name of safety. But it's a clear downgrade in daily life

[feastofassumption @assumptionfeast]

@IanDWyatt @pfitzsimmons @ChhatwalRaunak @mmjukic Ime the 1988 truck i grew up with was more comfy than the 1997 truck that replaced it, and both of those were more comfy than my 2022. The '76 e we still have only for hauling around a diesel tank is most comfy of all. But i assume the reduced comfort gives better safety ?

@IanDWyatt @pfitzsimmons @ChhatwalRaunak @mmjukic I do my best to embrace good new things, and avoid bad new things

[feastofassumption @assumptionfeast]

@IanDWyatt @pfitzsimmons @ChhatwalRaunak @mmjukic Yes, and I'm perhaps missing your point, but when I bought a truck in 2022, i bought one with an aluminum frame (new technology, improved longevity against road salt induced rust!) and a non-turbo motor (old technology, good longevity)

@array_hog I feel like I improvise better after I have internalized / gotten into muscle memory the basic patterns. And singing in really well sculpted harmony like shape note will help get that muscle memory so that improv is easier

[feastofassumption @assumptionfeast]

@pfitzsimmons @IanDWyatt @ChhatwalRaunak @mmjukic This is so well known that farmers, mechanics, etc, will mock salesmen if they show up in (company fleet provided) turbo trucks

[feastofassumption @assumptionfeast]

@pfitzsimmons @IanDWyatt @ChhatwalRaunak @mmjukic I'm a little surprised you hear you say reliability is not knowable. Maybe there's year to year variation, but turbos in general are renowned to be unreliable! Nobody who buys a truck and intends to keep the truck its entire lifespan buys a turbo

@CMadd_Hatter5 @rootsofprogress Oh my gosh, I had no idea, and also don't know. I emailed the Center about a week ago but didn't hear back, and called and left a voicemail, but no response there either.

Do i know anybody that knows anybody near Chevy Chase MD? I need a photo of this mural that isn't under copyright, for a print publication with @rootsofprogress . I'll give you a copy of the anthology in thanks!
