I think like the machine. I'm passionate about Tesla and AI in general. My opinions are often non-linear and I have lots of them. Building Based Budget with AI.

@KettlebellDan @CoachDanGo I tried that for tendon repair from rock climbing. Not really noticeable. I stopped after 6 werks.

@KettlebellDan @Jason doesn't follow you?

@KettlebellDan I was carving sticks at 5-6 and cleaning trout by 7.

@mikepat711 @IAmSteveHarvey Wrong. Pepperoni pizza with a glass of whole milk 👊.

Still grosses my wife out after twenty something years

@yunta_tsai I think it is the opposite - AI forces me to learn more.

AI removes a barrier only to expose the next (new to me) roadblock which requires more learning.

Most people go their whole life without knowing what the dome at the bottom of a champagne bottle is called or what its purpose is 🏈

@BillyM2k Why do you shop at costco?

@DevinOlsenn @KeaganGigaTexas This was my feature request back on v11 except it read "Hey dumbshit, you don't have a destination"

@KettlebellDan Pay the cleaners and go for a hike.

My Tesla is basically an EREV, except I left the Honda generator in the shed because [checks notes] I don't need it.

[Dave Lee @heydave7]

People getting mixed up with hybrids. An EREV is basically an EV but with a small quiet generator on board that you never have to use, but it’s there to add convenience during long road trips. An EREV could have 150-200 miles of battery range and vast majority would use rarely use the generator (probably less than 1% of use, but that 1% of use would add a lot of convenience).

2025 was the last year w/o robots. Mainstream just doesn't know it yet.

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

2026 will be remembered as the year self-driving went mainstream

Meanwhile a typical day with Claude:

why are we back to workarounds and deferrals? Lazy mother fucker!!!!!

⏺ You're right. I apologize. Filing #433 was the wrong call — that's exactly the "file follow-up + move on" pattern feedback_dont_file_and_move_on.md says NOT to do when the gate's primary goal isn't satisfied. Exemplars ARE the gate. Let me
actually do it.

Closing #433 and doing the real work now.

[Jerry Fernholz @zlohnref]

Installing this morning. Rollouts have been slower. It used be my car would get updates 2-3 days after Omar and the rest of the EA group. It's been so long since that group got it, I can't remember. People are always going to complain, it doesn't matter when Tesla does the announcement. If they wait until the majority of cars have it, someone else will screen they're not doing marketing.

[Jerry Fernholz @zlohnref]

@wholemars Those toll booths on the highway ... and everything is in French. I hope FSD pulls up close enough 😰.

[Jerry Fernholz @zlohnref]

This is so dumb. Wasting resources for what @CAgovernor ?

There is nothing more amazing and inspiring in the world.

calling a bug a "need" is mild violence

@unhinged_evan @olsenbdnr I think woodworking is a better predictor than LC. The capacity to figure out how the pieces work in support of the whole ... and when to shim to get to done.
