I would have bought that over my Mazda (probably!); I’m currently commuting 40 miles each way and I’m here to say 40 mph is no longer good enough for me 🤣

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Also see if your local library/university supports Libby- we’ve listened to and read 100s of books through our cards for free! Some places (Indiana) have statewide programs so the selection is massive.

Not the automaker in the post header; both of our current Gen4 Mazda3s are worse built than my Gen3. It’s gotta be Hyundai-Kia, right? Is anyone else actually building better products?

One of two finalists for a visiting Prof job at a ritzy $$$ private college; last minute trip, over spring break, and an ice storm almost made me miss my flight back. Ghosted (“oh we’re making a quick decision) and ignored my reimbursement request for 4 months. Mostly just mad about the last bit

"Explain how that happens" is a legitimate request! And critique! I am happy to explain all sorts of ways LLMs could hurt humanity, but all of those explanation involve careless people doing careless things. Not rogue software. I do not like this moment in time where nobody cares how things work.

Sometimes i get asked by students what the “best” car ever made was, and frankly, it’s this. Nothing better embodies the technical and cultural goals of the mass produced automobile better than the gen2 Prius 🤷‍♂️ Peak car

If you want a rational conversation about tradeoffs you should start by demanding honesty from the industry that has been lying about this technology since its inception, not to mention one of the common talking points being "You're getting this whether you like it or not"
