Haha maybe I’ll get around to it. You should probably feel nothing for my second grade self watching that movie, it didn’t have much of an impact on me other than thinking it’s funny I watched it.

Lol I honestly don’t remember anything at all from that movie, except boobs. I was in 2nd grade.

The main thing is technical nuances, and a never ending list of them.

But you could start with something like lynx or elinks, but at that point you may as well just use lynx or elinks.

Firefox works great.

Dying from all causes sounds like a really rough last page.

Ya a lot of folks make a lot of poor choices. I’m sure I do too.

I like to take note of any way I could have done something better in a ride, even if it’s just something simple like getting passed by a car before I knew it was there – a mild reminder to always be checking the 360.

I agree, LLMs have been helpful in pointing me in the right direction and helping me rethink what questions I actually want to ask in disciplines I’m not very familiar with.

Agree, and the point I always want to make is that any LLM or neural net or any other AI tech is going to be a mere component in a powerful product, rather than the entirety of the product.

The way I think of it is that my brain is of little value without my body, and my person is of little value without my team at work. I don’t exist in a vacuum but I can be highly productive within my environment.

From a business perspective, no shareholder cares at how good an employee is at personally achieving a high degree of skill. They only care about selling and earning, and to a lesser degree an enduring reputation for longer term earnings.

Economics could very well drive this forward. But I don’t think the craft will be lost. People will need to supervise this progress as well as collaborate with the machines to extend its capabilities and dictate its purposes.

I couldn’t tell you if we’re talking on a time scale of months or decades, but I do think “we” will get there.

I’m my experience they do a decent job of whipping out mindless minutea and things that are well known patterns in very popular languages.

They do not solve problems.

I think for an “AI” product to be truly useful at writing code it would need to incorporate the LLM as a mere component, with something facilitating checks through static analysis and maybe some other technologies, maybe even mulling the result through a loop over the components until they’re all satisfied before finally delivering it to the user as a proposal.

The funny thing about bikes is they’re all so fun. I put over 300 highway miles on my klx300 over this past weekend and that hardened my nerves way more than the capabilities of my z900 did!

The great thing about higher performance bikes is that, while they can certainly go way faster than we should ever ask them to, they can also maneuver way better than we should ever ask them to.

They all bring me so much joy in so many different ways. I absolutely appreciate my sport bike like an engineering marvel (I’m pretty simple), and getting slightly naughty on it when no one is around is definitely thrilling, but honestly the bike rides so nice that even low speeds feels so good, and high speeds don’t actually feel so high. The little bike is kind of the opposite in a way that’s also fun anyway. It feels naughty even when it’s not haha.

Anyway I hope you’re staying safe out there. It’s the best way to have fun for longer!

I still think of myself as a beginner but I am obsessed with doing everything I can to be as safe as possible, thankfully I also think learning safety is fun!

In October 2022 I bought a 2001 Kawasaki w650, that was my first bike since I briefly tinkered with dirt bikes about 10 years prior. I sold that this spring.

That same year in November I picked up an 82 Kawasaki ke100 and a 2004 KLR650.

This spring I picked up a 2019 Kawasaki z900rs and a 2017 KTM 125 SX.

A few weeks ago I picked up a KLX300, which is the first new thing I ever purchased, and I just finished putting the 650-ish break-in miles on it yesterday, so I’m really excited to take that on the trails now.

I think what I’m finding is riding very different bikes in different ways teaches you all kinds of different skills that are transferrable to all of them in subtle ways.

What are you riding on now?

Off topic: How do you prefer to pronounce sauna?

After selling one and borrowing a dirt bike for my kid, 6 are in my possession, but the one I’m borrowing is grown out of now.

I have an 82 Kawasaki that needs minor engine work, and to get sold, a newer retro sport bike and an older klr650.

I’m thinking next year I’ll sell the sport bike and klr and consolidate on a larger adventure bike, taking my fleet down to 3.

One mx bike, one klx300 that is capable on dirt and road, and one sportier adventure bike. That way my kid and I can ride trails anywhere and I can do some nice trips too. We can kinda trade off depending on how we feel like riding.

Everything is temporary

Six motorcycles in 2 years

When a cop is completely out of line, no colleagues step in and government prosecutors do nothing, that system is implicated.

When a cop does intervene and are harassed and fired for it, that system is implicated.

I don’t understand this experience. I’ve been using Linux for 20+ years and I don’t have this problem.

Maybe I’m just a really boring user.

Edit, on further thought, I know I am a boring user, so ignore this I guess.
