This would be my concern. A fender bender hits the wheels on this thing and suddenly you're doing major surgery to repair it.

The vast majority of dirt roads are fine. I put hundreds of miles on my 1996 Honda Civic hatchback in the Cascades with no problems many years ago.

If the road existed in the 1990s, it's quite likely accessible by a mid-size SUV. Similarly, if families of 4 could go camping with cars from 1950-2000, you can today as well. In fact, you can get more compact tents, etc. today.

Trucks and huge SUVs come in handy if you want to bring lots of modern toys like gigantic prestige coolers and 4x4s.

More than some thinking. They’ll probably need to think hardest or even ultrathink to keep the project moving forward.

Review after 1 hour in:

Gemini CLI does not take new direction especially well. After planning, I asked it to execute and it just kept talking about the plan.

Another time when I hit escape and asked it to stop and undo the last change, it just plowed ahead.

It makes a lot of mistakes reading and writing to files.

Some, but by no means all, of the obsequious quotes from my first hour with the product: - “You’ve asked a series of excellent questions that have taken us on a deep dive ...” - “The proposed solution is not just about clarity; it’s also the most efficient and robust.”

You may be able to do this with a user-based settings file, so you can have a base layer of settings across all projects. More on how to do that here: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/settings

This might explain how people who exercise for work do not seem to get the health benefits of people who exercise recreationally.

It’s not the exercise, it’s that people who recreationally work out are in a different socioeconomic group.

Also, this is consistent with many mouse studies.

I think that at best the jury is still out on Rapamaycin. It has healthspan- and lifespan-increasing effects on most animals studied.

Bryan Johnson quit using it, but he’s on 40 other things and there are bound to be drug interactions.

That said, limiting consumption of health and fitness influencers is bound to be good for lifespan: you’ll have more time to live.

And yes, it’s hard to make a living as an influencer saying “eat food, mostly green, move your body, and spend time with friends and loved ones.”

It is!

It exists in Claude as a true branch - you can see the old threads - and in ChatGPT as without the history.

Edit a previous reply and hit “go” to see it in action.

This exists in Claude. Edit any previous message and it will fork the conversation.

Clean and simple. There are a million apps that over think this, have weird onboarding, and aren't nearly this useful.

Thank you!

My definition is that heavily using AI for autocomplete or to write well defined methods is using AI, but vibe coding is instructing AI agents to complete a task and squinting at the multi-file results (e.g. "Now plan out how we will store this data... <mild feedback to the plan> Now execute that plan.").

Claude Code is very vibe code.

This anecdote doesn’t match the data.

It is definitely slowing demand. You can see it in the Q1 numbers and the discounts on vehicles.

You can ask anyone who buys used EVs in Seattle. There is a glut of Tesla sellers and not many buyers.

Like it or not, your car says a lot about you. People bought Teslas because they liked what they said and now they are avoiding them because they don’t like it.

Maybe I’m not getting this, but you can tab to autocomplete file paths.

You can use English or —add if you want to tell Claude to reference them.

Under $50 per cushion repair in today’s money seems super cheap!

Right, the whole point of these tricks is to compound a continuously larger amount. If you liquidate, you pay taxes (even more in one year with tax loss harvesting) and begin compounding from a lower starting point going forward.

Wealthfront has struggled to grow with a 0.25% fee - so $25 annually for every $10,000 deposited.

Marketing and operations account for a lot!

How do you expect to make enough money to have a venture-scale business? Wealthfront has struggled even with a 0.25% fee and Robinhood is successful because they have massive flow (not buy and hold), options, and other casino-like products.

Services like this can be very, very difficult to leave.

Be aware that if you are doing direct tax indexing with tax loss harvesting, you are increasing your tax liability in the future.

If you invest in direct indexing here, you have three choices if they tack on fees or you are unhappy with their service: 1. Take a random assortment of 300+ stocks and watch your portfolio become unbalanced over time 2. Liquidate your portfolio and up worse off than you would have with an ETF 3. Stick with it and pay

If they go out of business, you are stuck with the random assortment.

Are you talking about ”normal” variations in testosterone like plus or minus 10-20% or like doubling?

Can confirm: AirPods work for calls, music and podcasts.

Many of my daughter's 11-year-old friends have Apple Watches as their mobile device. Some of them have tiny wrists.

I wish breakthroughs in Alzheimer's were like breakthroughs in battery tech. Batteries are getting dramatically cheaper and denser every year with a clear path for 10+ years of improvements.

Alzheimer's treatments today maybe slow cognitive decline by 3 months and cost a fortune.

I recommend disputing the charge with your credit card. My credit card refunded my Hertz bill in under five minutes of clicking online.

I got a $80 bill from Hertz for returning a compact car without gas. I had returned the car with a full tank of gas though!

There is no way to resolve this on the phone, so I filled out their online form to dispute the charge.

After not hearing from Hertz for 2 days, I disputed the charge with my credit card. The credit card instantly refunded the entire cost of the rental.

Within 12 hours of the refund, I got an email from Hertz saying they were sorry about the accidental charge and that they'd give me a free one day rental.

Ultimately they sent me a bill for the cost of the rental minus the gas and threatened to take me to collections if I didn't pay it.

I never got my free rental.

Recurrent has a fairly accurate battery health estimate tool.

There are tools for directly connecting via ODB that can give you the battery health at least for the Nissan Leaf, but I haven't looked into them for years and couldn't tell you for sure.

In general, lower miles is better and not from a super hot climate is better (purchased and driven in Washington State > Driven in Arizona).

I find Google calendar on desktop to have a bunch of little annoyances relative to Cron.

Examples: - When you create an event, it pops over your calendar instead of on the right - You can't easily tab through the event creation process - Not simple to share a list of available times for scheduling with external users - To switch which calendar my event is going on, I have to click to expand, then click to change

Cron (excuse me, Notion Calendar) is just cleaner.

I know there are ways to make a web app act like a desktop app, but I prefer installing an app and being able to jump to it or open it from Command-Space on Mac.

A quote that is often helpful in product design: "Good artists copy, great artists steal."

I've been using Cron for the last year and a half and migrated from Vimcal.

It's a delightful calendar with all the modern keyboard shortcuts including Vim's J/K for previous next and logical shortcuts for everything else (m for month view, w for week view, c for create, etc.).

It's speedy. (Hopefully Notion keeps it that way and doesn't introduce Notion's annoying lag)

They've nailed the details: - meeting participants are easy and logically sorted - you can move an event between calendars and accounts with no hiccups (Apple Calendar used to die on this repeatedly) - they expose just the right amount of information for a calendar invitation in the right order - Title, Time, participants, conferencing, then location - so you can tab through and hit enter when it's done

Conferencing is great - select your app and the meeting is automatically generated and added.

It has Vimcal-like sharing mode where you can block off time and autogenerate either an easy to read list of available times and dates or you can opt to append a link so people can book online and see current availability. I have a couple of quibbles with this implementation - it's hard to add 15 minutes to a selection - but overall it's quite elegant.

The last thing that delights me far more than it should: Command-Shift-J opens your Meet / Zoom / Whathaveyou no matter where you are on your computer.

I like this back-of-the-envelope estimate, but it's even worse than that.

The carbon in oil is lightweight relative to the two oxygens it combines with (atomic weights 12 and 16 respectively) from the air, so 1kg of oil emits about 3kg of CO2!

Punchline: we emit around 34 gigatons of CO2 per year.

Unfortunately, the cost of building proposed power-to-gas plants is high enough that it doesn’t make economical sense to run them just a few hours a day.
