@orderenjoyer @DmitriLee1 @Team_Penske @smclaughlin93 @h3lio @deximaging They will post old pictures acknowledging the existence of Marlboro. They just did a week ago. They won’t make any new graphics or content including those cars, which is what makes throwing back to a true Marlboro car difficult.

A milestone to remember.

On this day in 2000, Gil de Ferran secured Team Penske’s 100th @IndyCar win in Nazareth. #Penske60

@whitechambrlain @JoyceStartSouxi @heilun_chan @LinkofSunshine @sfmhmmad Getting the right answer for the wrong reason is a problem, actually, and I have seen enough Basil posts that I think he would agree. Especially in the context of talking about people being financially illiterate, understanding why the answer is what it is matters.

[MF1 Fantasy Racing @MF1Updates]

@JoyceStartSouxi @heilun_chan @LinkofSunshine @sfmhmmad He’s responding to Basil’s reasoning itself, which is too broad. It gets the right answer to the problem in the screenshot, but it would get the wrong answer if the numbers were slightly different. This is perfectly valid to point out.

@heilun_chan @rsyncked @yougotmurphd @LinkofSunshine @sfmhmmad If I’m understanding, your point is that because the interest compounds annually, the actual balance on the account wouldn’t be over double the initial $1,000 until the fourth anniversary.

@Swinebros666 @JoeyBarnes85 I checked. Since 1986, they’ve raced the weekend after Indy 27 times and had a week off 14 times. Almost all of those 14 times were between the split and reunification.

2021 was the most recent. I don’t remember, but I suspect that was a COVID remnant.

@Hoki_Hoshi It’s crazy to me that they still haven’t put in some tool to find roads you haven’t been on. This has been an issue since at least FH2.

@BuckSlayer8774 @DirtyD____ @tdgross89 @indy44 To the extent Felix got ahead of him because of a “button,” Malukas had the same button. The hybrid is the only button on ovals, and there’s no limit on when anyone can use it.

@bugsandfishes Are any of these books even that valuable? Yes, they’re somewhat old, but they appear to mostly be mass market reprints. Value is not the only consideration in whether to keep things, but it’s crazy to think people should be keeping every remotely old thing their parents owned.

@KevinDSmead @pardon_mi This is what bothers me (among other things) about an insistence that learning how to prompt AI should be an educational focus. Prompting AI is not hard. It can be optimized like using a search engine can, but what matters is you have the knowledge to know what to look for.

[MF1 Fantasy Racing @MF1Updates]

@KevinDSmead @pardon_mi Even if AI prompting becomes an important skill, two things should be obvious:

(1) Making good prompts depends primarily on having the underlying knowledge necessary to know what to ask.
(2) Understanding what AI spits out also requires having underlying knowledge.

@z10nbr0wn I think Pato is right about Palou taking advantage of the grey area… but also I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. The rule put no responsibility on drivers. That’s on IndyCar.

[MF1 Fantasy Racing @MF1Updates]

@jeff_gluck I’ve never really bought or cared about the marketing line about using racing to develop street cars. It’s true on the margins at best. And I don’t care if the engine in the car doesn’t match your street car. Making a good race car would have the same marketing value regardless.

@AwfulRacing I regret to inform you that Vitor Meira is not an Indy 500 champion… yet.

[MF1 Fantasy Racing @MF1Updates]

@kurtlash1 There’s no good argument to include this case over the stronger preexisting cases on the same issue. At best, you’re giving it more academic weight than it deserves because you’re personal friends. At worst, you’re misconstruing it for the same reason. It’s not worth it.

@JMGraphicsTw (Even though I know it isn’t.)

@MattWeaverRA From last year. I know it’s the end of the NASCAR season, but if you can ever get your employer to be fine with you missing a week, you have to do it. I’ve been to a lot of tracks in the U.S., but none of them compare to it.
