The "really fun ones" can often be pretty limited. How often do you need to go 0 to 60 super quick? Particularly when a Tesla minivan can do it faster? If you really want to try them, consider joining a car club.

I found a "fun enough one" worked best for me, because it can be a daily driver.


fun ≠ utility

I imagine part of the fun is probably also seeing, hearing, and feeling something different. And maybe trying to grab others' attentions.

I'm just speculating, because I don't care for fancy or "fun" cars.


It's a life experience. Enjoy having one or skip it. Either works. It's your life.

The inflection was quite good. The only thing off seemed to be when she was thinking on something new. Instead of pausing to think, her next thought actually started too quickly, cutting off the very end of what she was saying before.

I am curious how easy it would be to adjust the inflection and timing. She was over-complimentary, which is fine for a demo. But I'd love something more direct, like a brainstorming session, and almost talking over each other. And then a whiteboard...


I use it for FTP and (child) template editing for Wordpress sites.

Influencer promos are the more likely candidate.

It could also be used to "upload a picture of yourself" to see how you'd look in an outfit from all angles, walking, and in specific (aka dreamy) occasions.

It also makes previz much easier. Stand-ins can run through the shots, including stunts. Then the main actors can be swapped in to provide a clearer estimate of what it would look like.

> What advice can we can take from it?

That we often won't have control over big changes affecting our lives, so be prepared. If possible, get out in front and ride the wave. If not, duck under and don't let it churn you up too much.


That would be the adaptation I’m talking about.


This one is a tsunami though. I have absolutely no idea how to either ride it or duck under it. It's my kids that I'm worried about largely - currently finishing up their degrees at university


It's exactly what I'm worried most about too, the kids. I have younger ones. We had a good ride thus far but they don't seem so lucky, things look pretty badly overall without an obvious for much improvement any time soon.


I don't entirely agree. Internet was a tsunami. Mobile was a tsunami. Both seemed impactful at first, but we didn't know exactly how right away. We all figured it out and adopted, some better than others.

Schools are way ahead of us. Your kids are already using AI in their academic environments. I'd only be worried if they're not.


> How do the billion people in Europe do it?

Last I checked, they use government. Two governments, I think.


At least two. In federations like Germany it's three. Plus local administrations.


We’ve really gone full circle when the argument for less government is pointing to Europe, and the argument against the military-industrial complex is the guy directly arguing for more military spending.


How does the auto DJ compare to something like Pacemaker?


Are you referring to this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pacemaker

I haven't tried that myself, but used the AutoDJ feature of Mixxx a couple of times. It's fairly basic, you have a playlist, setup how you want it to fade, and how fast, hit Play and off it goes matching the beatgrids and whatnot.


Yes, but they pivoted to a music app about 10 years ago. It worked great 99% of the time and had decent transitions. But they received bad advice from a music startup incubator and ended up getting acquihired about two years ago.
