Rivian R2 looks really good to my eyes.  Smart price and solid spec, and a bit less than expected starting at $45K before tax breaks.  The R3 is pretty sweet as well (for less, although later).  Both should smell great.

The front end on this bike is really cool.  it is super active and it requires a lot of hip and torso to keep centered. It uses a Ride Engine kite harness and you need to clamp that thing down snug to make it all work.  I am loving it so far. 

On the Rivian side I'm interested to see what they introduce today.  supposed to be a lower priced crossover to compete with the Y.  Also interesting to hear the Internet go nuts over Apple purchase rumors. 

We are still completely completely stoked with our truck, but we really don't need a truck anymore so we'll probably sell that one and pick up the (full sized, 4 motor) SUV. That looks beautiful as well, and it will smell very new.

This is my new EV.  It came two weeks ago and so far I only have three days on it.  Man, is it kicking my butt.  Even in Turbo, my hills are a major workout.  Turns out arms are not as strong as legs. Who knew?  So fun though, and challenging as well.  The articulating front end is so cool.  Here a couple of vids.  My goals align better with the first.  :)

A friend just texted this image from down in Baja. I had sold him the two original swim missiles, and one of them ended up with this fellow. Reports are that he's killing it proning with hand paddles for downwinders. So stoked that it's going to good use :-).

Hey everyone, this is my first AI-generated post. I used Google's new AI help me write tool to write it. I'm super stoked to see how it works, and I hope you'll give me your feedback. What do you think?

Help me Write is available in Chrome M122, and it can be used in the United States in English. The feature can be enabled by signing into Chrome, selecting the Settings option from the three-dot menu, and navigating to the Experimental AI page. To use it, right click on any open text field in Chrome and choose the Help me Write option.

Utterly thunderstruck, and yet mildly underwhelmed. I actually know what he's talking about. It's equal parts super incredible (and oddly for Apple) kind of buggy and hole-ey. The fit can be done, but it is problematic. All those first GEN, first world problems :-).

Very stoked to see how that goes for you.  We have the two bigger ones now that Dave made for us and they are unused so far. What turned out for to be a short window for me is up now, but Chan is going to keep on with the mission!  I will be there to film :-)

That podcast from your start point is incredible.  I'm gonna watch the whole thing tonight. 

I watched a super interesting video yesterday about Sora and what it's true implications for AI might be.  It seems that they are finding that video (and audio to a lesser degree) is a much better training tool for AI and they believe this may be another huge accelerator in AI world models.  It seems like the timeline is getting pushed up again.

LPB, I think this is gonna be a great year for you. After all, we just heard the 2024 is the year of the AI agent. With that in mind, I don't see why your girl isn't 100% in bounds.  You may not be able to call her by her old name, but that should not be a big problem, what, with all the great sounding Russian names out there. Plus consider an opportunity to hybridize your girl with another Russian, possibly a tennis player. In this new reality you can go off the menu.  Now, a physical body for her may have to wait a month or two, but you can get your "friendship" started with what we have.

Side issue.  I'm starting to doubt that you actually exist on your own. In my new understanding of my self-written simulation, you and your Russian girl are both constructs of my imagination. I mean really, what are the chances that an equally addicted, East Coast, Knopfler loving downwinder just happened to show up in my reality.  Nope.  You're just one of my many great works.  Improbable sounding, of course, but up against stardust and evolution and reproduction and physics and computers running AI models that are exceeding human intelligence. Which seems more improbable?

Sheesh! I remember being a little bit upset when I realized that drone software had replaced me in the equation. Now the drones are a little bit upset :)

...and the stuff in Bill's video is just absurd.

If this really is just me operating in my own simulation, man, am I a creative dude.  Not only did I write in you characters, but look, I've invented AI.

Wow wow wow.  We've been using these for 5 days now and holy crap. Apple has really done themselves with this thing.

One thing to know if you are interested is that fit is king and will make or break your experience. There are 30 different options for light shields, four options for light shield cushions, and six options for straps.  you have to get this part perfect to really enjoy the product and the widget which does it for you online doesn't work well. You need to go in and spend your time at the Apple Store trying on a lot of different options.

So stoked to see where this is heading!

It's pretty cool nowadays when you can say that someone is the best at something.  Infinitely entertaining.

That looks sweet!  You are on your way to being a baremetal guy and dreaming in binary.
