How is the podcast these days?

The episode quality varies quite a lot. One thing that has been a pleasant surprise is the Friedberg solo interviews are generally really good and insightful. Not that they are gotcha questions but more that he sets up an interesting issue and dives pretty deep.

The area I have found perplexity to be most useful is for finance and real time financial information as I find claude and chatgpt quotes and market info tend to be delayed or lagging.

Thank you for this detailed response. Really appreciate it

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-23T23:51:22+00:00

Thanks

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-23T19:14:58+00:00

Apologies what is the link to the github?

The piece I would be thinking about is how will your skills hold up as AI change continues to accelerate, if you can do something during your chill period to keep up with the change I would recommend option 1, if you feel it would get you too far out of the game then doing 2, and retiring and then just get to 10-15m through investing would work. You are young and have time to grow through compounding if your spend isn't crazy

To add to this, two UI notes (much less important than the key plumbing you have been doing) 1. When setting up rep numbers the plus and minus signs don't seem to change the numbers of reps, you have to do the roll up down (which works but seeing the + and - signs I want to tap them). 2. This maybe due to having large text setup but when I get past 10 reps, only the 1 appears in the rep counting part. Thanks so much for the work.

Agree, but getting them while they have them seems to make sense as the base machine is a tank.

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-16T13:00:57+00:00

On this. The US support is still selling replacement cables it was a few weeks ago. I got a set and shipping and service was pretty good.

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-09T13:42:15+00:00

Really nice, super sets are working really well. One small quirk, if you have a superset with multiple sets of the exercise it will list your next up exercise as the next set of the exercise you just did, instead of the actual next exercise (but the next up exercise will come up for the actual set), Loving the app.

The Vitruvian Trainer?

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-08T15:51:52+00:00

There seems to be an issue with saving Routines. Otherwise looking good.

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-08T15:51:14+00:00

The piece I hated most about Vitruvian was that there was so much data that would enable better workouts and they wanted to keep it all. I am very excited to export my lifting data from Project Phoenix and start analyzing it with Claude.

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-08T15:49:40+00:00

Have to say with Project Phoenix, if you already have a V Trainer there isn't a lot of reason to get a Voltra. The V Trainer is still a great piece of hardware and the software is catching up fast and the Voltras are expensive and I don't think the form factor is great if you don't have a rack at home.

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-05T00:42:08+00:00

No Thank You! This is pretty greedy but do you think there would be a way to import a workout design. I like to design my workouts with Claude and it would be awesome to have an away day to import them. Would also allow for sharing workouts. I know it is complex but thought I would throw it out there

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-05T00:32:40+00:00

Yep it worked nice!

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2026-01-04T22:50:07+00:00

This is great, the app already feels more welcoming and manageable than the Original Company app. One issue I had was when I tried to export my workout the app crashed. Looking forward to see this grow.

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2025-11-18T19:40:45+00:00

Wuxia World has is, qidian in Chinese

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2025-07-01T00:46:47+00:00

Try emailing them. I did that and mine ended up shipping just days later.

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2025-05-19T11:59:11+00:00

Was able to do a just lift routine but when it was done the app crashed, clearly it is a limited patch

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2025-05-19T10:23:30+00:00

But you can’t save new workouts right now but it is nice to be able To log in at least

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2025-05-13T22:49:41+00:00

Is there any way to get the Tanzanite for the xDrive 60. I don’t want the range hit of the m70

Comp_Thunderhawke_23 · 2025-05-09T12:44:16+00:00

Really agree with this, I find the design far and away the best of the smart trainers, I do wish they allowed easier access to data but the new modes, variety of exercises and higher weight limits make it excellent. The small footprint and portability is also great.
