The amount of info I’ve been given recently with how transportation items are evolving has been quite the read/listen… even today’s multimodal meeting has had layers I’ve got to somehow keep in mind

Didn’t even realize it is #WorldBicycleDay… guess I feel like it’s this case everyday hehehe 🚲 It’s enjoyable to be in a state & region where there are just so many ways to take your bike around. And soon, much improved places to park, work, & thrive

Hanging out at Trek Columbia for the #BikeToWork pitstop. We ended up making today basically the pick up day; it works out well to have helmets from @bikemaryland.org along with the T-shirts and a few other goodies.

Been so so long since getting over to the wildlife refuge. Has been a great day to just take in the miles and reflect on this latest trip around the sun.

Been a good fall season of 🚴🏾‍♂️, and more specifically with others. Got to lead a small group of older cyclists around my neck of MD this past weekend. Such a neat group of folks and some good insights for future #bikeMD chats Komoot route 🗺️ www.komoot.com/tour/2645358...

Kind of neat to have a couple conversations today around the Brilliant Labs glasses. First was around my wearing of Frame. Second was a Reddit AMA where BL talked about Halo, new glasses announced today brilliant.xyz Def need to get on the ball w/my app/script ideas for these ✍🏾 👓

It’s def humid… aka, “Hell’s Front Porch” season in the DMV. But the ride was nice. Glad to get out with my bro for miles and meals. That said, twas the 2nd ride of three on deck for today 😅 Trying to “beat the holiday traffic” I guess

Took the @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social (I call this one the “Green Partner”) on the shop ride Friday evening. As usual, folks wondered if “small wheels” can keep up. Shoot, I wondered how long before I would bonk as I’d already biked 20mi before doing this ride. The Brompton smashed it. I was 😮‍💨

🤔💭
Was sent a link to a fairly recent blog post on AI stuff… initial thought while reading it was that I was hearing (quietly) that “increased productivity equals more valuable intelligence”. That this is what “AI” means for the modality this post was speaking towards…

…and then I reflected towards what has and hasn’t worked professionally. What has caused discussion, and what caused dissension. Some of the most intelligent stuff was not the most productive, but often that which appeared most productive was rewarded as if it were something valuable & intelligent.

If there is artificial intelligence, it should probably be more like a bicycle than and internal combustion engine. The distance and speed traveled doesn’t make one more mobile than the other. But, there’s certainly a cost beyond time spent to making one mode work more than the other.

Asking folks to consider what they deem intelligent might be more of what quiets my words here. But, perhaps it’s what’s most notable to read in the tea leaves.

Quote attributed to Ernest Hemingway with front of a bicycle on a dashed road with helmet on the handlebars: “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best. Since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are. While in a motor car only a high will impress you. And you will have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle”

Listening and chatting thru tonight’s Howard County APFO (adequate public facilities ordinance) recommendations committee. If I’d didn’t have a family who was involved in community advocacy, this would be a bit more foreign. Instead, it’s illuminating. Especially as one who didn’t grow up here.

The spaces for expertise continues to be pulled more and more towards the front of “the future of work” even as limitations are just considered momentary contexts openai.com/index/introd...
Screenshot of the section of the open AI deep research press release citing limitations: limitations: deep research, unlock significant new capabilities, but it’s still early and has limitations. I can sometimes hallucinate facts and responses were making correct inferences, although I know to be lower rate than the existing ChatGPT models, according to internal evaluations. It may struggle with distinguishing authoritative information from rumors, and currently shows weakness and confidence calibration, often failing to convey uncertainty accurately. At launch, there may be Minner formatting errors, and reports, and citations, and task may take longer to kick off. We expect all these issues to quickly improve with more usage and time.

Onto the tablet in front of me

And travelled

Near the nadir of my heart 
Towards the light
Sipped at the very brim of
