Money Stuff: Elsewhere in Elon Musk, I have to say that I grudgingly respect that his approach to life seems to be essentially aesthetic. His aesthetic is, it seems to me, very bad, but sincerely held. Here is a Wall Street Journal article about him that drove me somewhat insane: For the longest time, Musk has talked about the possibility that we're living in a computer simulation. ... "I do have this theory about predicting the future, which is that the most interesting outcome is the most likely," Musk said during a podcast appearance a few weeks ago. It is an idea rooted in the thinking that if our reality really is a simulation, we would get shut down if we were boring. "Another way to think of it is like we could be an alien Netflix series and that series is only going to get continued if our ratings are good," Musk said. "If you apply Darwin to simulation theory then only the most interesting simulations will continue. Therefore, the most interesting outcome is most likely because it's either that or annihilation. "So," he added, "really, we have one goal: Keep it interesting." This requires a real theory of mind about the hypothetical aliens who are running the hypothetical simulation. Are Musk's various social-media fights and
A commentary on bicycles: "Quality customers - frequent driver customers, mind you - report again and again that they have surprisingly little maintenance costs and shard with their werx. this is because it is consistently optimized for quality: the velowerk quality motto: "a bike that is to work in our everyday life must be better built than a gravel plant: there it is wet, dirty and it shakes constantly under load. gravel plants are usually not in the salt, that is added to the bike every winter and it must be able to withstand all this!""

The U.S. Commerce Department published 95 new requests for inclusion of derivative products in the Section 232 aluminum and steel tariffs. Two requests were made to add bicycles, frames and e-bikes to those tariffs. If these two inclusion requests are granted, all bicycles and frames imported into the US from any country would be subject to a 50% tariff on both their steel and aluminum content.

The Truth About Speed & Fatalities If you hit a pedestrian or cyclist with your car at 20mph, there's a 5% fatality rate. If you hit a pedestrian or cyclist with your car at 30mph, there's a 45% fatality rate. If you hit a pedestrian or cyclist with your car at 40mph, there's a 85% fatality rate.
According to the groups, allowing copyright class actions in Al training cases will result in a future where copyright questions remain unresolved and the risk of "emboldened" claimants forcing enormous settlements will chill investments in Al.

Q: If there was a world where, let's say in five years, you could upload Bryan into an Al-and Al Bryan is pretty much as good as Bryan Bryan - does Bryan Bryan eat the cheeseburger? A: Let's think about your question in a different way. *Most people today spend every waking moment pursuing wealth; and the time they're not spending pursuing wealth, they're pursuing some sort of status or prestige*. When you give birth to superinielligence, you can start extending lifespans to some unknown horizon: 200 years, 1,000 years, 10,000 years. Millions of years. We don't know. When that happens,
WIRED ABS brakes! New smart system. Probably the safest bike around for toting kids. Still compact and wonderfully easy to ride. Useful front wheel lock. Still has the best accessories. The most popular bike in town. TIRED There are so many great value cargo bikes. Battery life is a little disappointing. The external cabling system is annoying.

Hi Katie, I have a commuter question! When are we gonna connect up the bike lanes into a real regional network? I used to drive every day to commute to work, then at some point I started trying out biking there. For a while, I went back and forth, biking on nice days and driving in bad weather. Every time I had to get in the car to go downtown or into Cambridge from Brookline, I had to prepare for anxiety and boredom, sitting in a line of cars at light after light, stewing inside the car. The drive might be ten minutes faster on a lucky day, or twenty minutes slower if there's an accident or maybe for no apparent reason at all. At some point, I decided to just get rain gear and bike every single day. It felt daring at first, but I eventually found easy ways that felt safer to bike than main roads. And all around Boston, cities and towns kept adding more bike routes and calming traffic.

I'm fortunate to own a handful of bikes including my Specialized e-bike. I ride them all regularly, and I'm fit enough to pedal any of them in place of the Creo. So, why did I buy it? Living in a hilly area, my e-bike is fabulous for recovery rides, windy conditions and days when I'm just not 'feeling it'. In fact, over my regular 75km, 1,300m Sunday circuit, my average power (discounting the motor) is within a few watts whether I ride my all-road bike or my Creo. I just cover the distance 20 minutes faster on my e-bike. Using e-bikes for training is gaining a foothold, but if more pros were seen using them - role models, if you like - their popularity could escalate.
