@Notch_EV @Alvin1492840 Agreed! And no worries! I'm fine. I turned around and bought a LRM3 and paid for FSD again. This time the lasted 7 years and I just sold it and transferred FSD to a Juniper Y.

@DontTlkMuch @Alvin1492840 My experience...

[Scott K @skotywa]

@Notch_EV @Alvin1492840 This happened to me 9 months after I bought my mid-range model 3 in 2018. Guy on his phone rear-ended me. Insurance did pay out a depreciated cost for FSD. Roughly 95% of the cost.

“Growing up, it was always God, family, and baseball. There were a lot of late nights practicing, a lot of traveling, and sometimes it was hard to get to church. But my parents helped me build a foundation on a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“I always had a testimony, but I hadn’t read the Book of Mormon all the way through. I believed what my parents told me. They’re really smart, and their testimonies are strong. Then I got drafted, and I thought, ‘All right, I probably need to read this for myself.’

“One of the guys I was drafted with shared my faith. We became roommates and studied the scriptures together. As I read, I received personal revelation. That’s when my testimony really became stronger. I could see Heavenly Father’s hand in putting someone like that in my life.

“Reading helped me strengthen my testimony, and living what I believed gave me more opportunities to recognize His hand.

“My mom had talked to me about tithing before I even had a job. She told me about the blessings she’d seen and encouraged me to pay it. So I did. As I’ve kept that commitment, I’ve learned that the blessings can be physical, too. For me, being able to play baseball at my best is a blessing I connect directly to paying my tithing.

“Playing at an elite level still has its ups and downs. After a good year, I had a rough year. Sometimes you’re asking Heavenly Father, ‘Please help me,’ and you forget how much He’s already helped. Looking back helped me recognize the opportunities and blessings He had already given me.

“That same commitment to living my faith carries into how I take care of myself. Living the Word of Wisdom is a choice I made early. I’ve never wanted to drink or smoke. In high school, I watched people try vaping, get addicted, and struggle to stop. I didn’t want to find myself in that situation, and I’m grateful I made that decision before I ever started playing professionally.

“So when we were celebrating with the team and there wasn’t any sparkling cider, I opened the fridge, saw some Fanta in glass bottles, and grabbed a couple. I didn’t even want to hold alcohol because I didn’t want to give the impression I was drinking it. Then everybody started sending me pictures of their Fanta.

“Reading the Book of Mormon, paying my tithing, and living the Word of Wisdom are commitments I carry with me. As I’ve lived them, the foundation my parents helped me build in the gospel of Jesus Christ has become stronger through my own experiences.

“Heavenly Father has really shown His hand in my life.”

Every morning that I go to my workout facility I drive by Dunn Lumber in Bellevue. They seem to always have a good wood related “dad joke” on their sign. Here’s the last two…

It's tough seeing your kids grow up and move out. If we could have our little family back together like it was, we'd take it in a second. Now that they're all grown up and moved away, it's a novel thing to notice things like my wife gets to take actual sick days now.

[Scott K @skotywa]

My wife took a sick day last week, her first in 26 years. See, full-time moms don't get sick days. Even when they're sick, there's rides to be given and needs to be met. 26 years ago we became parents. This summer our youngest left. Now when she's ill, she can lay still and rest.

When I was a kid I watched him return kicks for the Phoenix Cardinals. Now, years later, I'm watching him give a wonderful talk in General Conference.

@nick_guerrera @grok 14.2 Lite, as Grok says is really great. My wife has that in her Y. Tesla has squeezed a ton out of the older hardware. Honestly I can't tell much difference between my wife's experience and mine.

If you’re the last person still in a large meeting 20 minutes after it ended, that’s not ambiguous. You were not locked in. There should be a little more social friction for silently stepping away like that.

Man, AI is taking the cost to nearly 0 for creating a POC or one-off solution. I'm seeing "not invented here" syndrome becoming an epidemic in this new age of AI development. Isolation and dysfunction in large tech companies could become a serious problem.

[Scott K @skotywa]

@nick_guerrera No worries!

If I'm reading this right (and I'd like to think that I am), we're in agreement on being skeptical of the current AI hysteria.

[Scott K @skotywa]

@AndrewWittstadt It's because they were taught very strenuously as children that you don't waste food. The parents of boomers grew up during the great depression and understandably passed on the lessons they learned to their children. Abundance was not a thing they knew growing up.

I still get the code diffs I had been sticking with VSCode for, but the experience is better in the app. Also, where Opus5 tended to overthink things and respond to simple questions with walls of text, GPT-5.6-Sol is just as smart, but more focused and concise.

[Scott K @skotywa]

Was using Opus5 + VSCode for the longest time because it was comfortable and familiar. Just tried GitHub Copilot App + GPT-5.6-Sol and I feel like I've leveled up in every way.

Having mostly used Opus 5 and 5.6-Sol the past 2 weeks, my summary of them...
Opus 5: That super smart but nerdy co-worker who annoyingly points out inane, barely relevant details as you go.
5.6-Sol: Smart, fast, yet terse co-worker who has somewhere to be, so don't waste time.
