As in McLaren fan I now have to fairly regular occurrence of thinking "omg how high can we go?"

... And then being reminded of just how dominating Aston Martin were at the start of the season.

I wish they would show this kind of analysis before and after the race, especially as we get towards the end of the season.

On the radio, Yuki saying "see I'm cursed". He does seem to have a rough time with it.

Haha, guilty admission: seeing nothing here I went to Reddit and sure enough someone had posted the update there.

I was about to go on with my day but then realized we're all gonna have to put a bit of work in to break free of Spez, glad you appreciated it!

I'm ashamed to admit I had no idea, until I stumbled upon this video. https://youtu.be/Krl_CUxW14Y

This hadn't really sunk in until now:

On ascent, the vehicle deviated from the expected trajectory, resulting in the Autonomous Flight Safety System (AFSS) issuing a destruct command. After an unexpected delay following AFSS, Starship broke up

That's like, unforgivably bad.

Nice link, I missed that one, and it cites a study too, so bonus points there (although, the primary author giving a @gmail.com is a little weird...).

I did end up filling out form on Amen Clinic website and never could get any information beyond being told I should speak with one of their 'specialists'. No pricing info, no insurance info. Red flags all around!

I'll just leave these here:

Some good discussion: https://youtu.be/OsHaCEo-Y7o?si=KmSRfJU6i24bdrQY

The above outputs are achieved by solving energy balance equations using the immense cloud computational power provided by AWS.

    
if tail_light_last_on_secs_ago < 20:
    mode = recharge
elif tail_light_last_on_secs_ago > 60:
    mode = deploying
else:
    mode = neutral


  

Safety car and the people who stayed out would have looked like heroes.

Here's the definition of default I'm using (from Google):

a preselected option adopted by a computer program or other mechanism when no alternative is specified by the user or programmer. (weird it specifies "a computer program or other mechanism", but whatever)

My argument is that the default meal including meat is what makes including meat the most popular choice, not the other way around.

I really struggle, but with the recent and dramatic exception of the 2021 movie "Cow". I'd love to know if others find it as peaceful as I did.

It is a movie shot from the perspective of a cow.

There are no "words". Just following a cow. It's beautiful.

Sam Collins was on on that so quickly on the F1 TV commentary it was kinda hilarious. As if the crash itself isn't bad enough.

If you are 'pro car' then you should definitely be resistant to adding lanes (and pro using that money for transit alternatives).

Getting cars off the road is the only thing that's going to make driving less miserable in the kinds of places were adding lanes is suggested.

Sure, but you could e.g. start with slop and then let people request something different. That's what I meant by 'default'. Perhaps there's a better world?

I sure there's a fancy word in psychology, but it's like if everyone is given choice x automatically, then it shouldn't be a surprise that x seems to be what people prefer.

I've noticed a similar thing in the Subway sandwich store: there are approximately the same number of vegetables and meats available, but if you look at the menu there is just one 'veggie' option, and a multitude of different meat combinations.

Because humans don't need meat to survive.

The meals will (I assume) be allocated on inmate numbers, so the animal will be reared, killed, transported, then thrown in the trash because someone doesn't want to eat it.

More generally this is the weird 'opt out' culture of food, where vegan is considered the exceptional position, which is kinda stupid, in my opinion.

My life so far:

1. Be born in UK, be able to work / live anywhere in EU
2. Emigrate to USA to try that for a bit (can always move back to anywhere in EU if I don't like it!)
3. Brexit
4. Trump

And yes, I do miss the trains.

Do you ever get a sense of whether your clients 'get' just how disproportionate there income is compared to the median?

According to this $50 million puts them comfortably in top 1%, receiving median annual US income in just under two hours (if my math is good: (40*52)*(46,001/50000000) = 1.91?).
