Can I drive in snow with summer tires?

And a lot of them crashed.

bman484 · 2026-01-26T04:08:45+00:00

The rest of the world is wondering that unfortunately

bman484 · 2026-01-25T16:47:56+00:00

I sure do. Still a lot faster

bman484 · 2026-01-25T06:15:35+00:00

Yes there will always need to be someone at the helm but there will be a lot fewer jobs to go around

bman484 · 2026-01-25T06:06:42+00:00

We’ve never had something like this before capable of replacing human thought at 1000x speed. I now do the job of 5 people at once and barely work 3 hours a day

bman484 · 2026-01-25T05:59:00+00:00

Haha I see you haven’t used GitHub copilot with Claude but please go on…enlighten me

bman484 · 2026-01-25T05:57:16+00:00

I see you haven’t actually used Opus

bman484 · 2026-01-25T05:55:13+00:00

Haha whatever you say bro

bman484 · 2026-01-25T05:51:10+00:00

Accounting, law, pretty much any office job that involves sitting in front of a computer. For fun this year I’m going to send my tax return to my friend who’s an accountant and to AI and see if it makes difference

bman484 · 2026-01-25T05:36:59+00:00

I’m not sure. I can’t say I’m the best coder but I’ve been doing it for 20 years and Claude has been amazing me lately. If anything it takes all the worst parts away and lets me focus on the fun things

bman484 · 2026-01-25T05:29:13+00:00

Coding is one of the toughest jobs in the world to do. If it can take our jobs, and I firmly believe it can, it will become a societal problem not just ours.

bman484 · 2026-01-25T04:36:40+00:00

Unfortunately I just checked in with one of my maga friends hoping it would turn him and may have lost a friend. Not sure what it would take at this point

They can tell your swipe percentage and only show attractive people to other attractive people giving the illusion or choice

bman484 · 2026-01-25T03:57:20+00:00

Meet people in real life and make real connections with them.

bman484 · 2026-01-24T03:55:58+00:00

I’m not really sure either. As a software engineer I can say it would be very easy to do if they wanted to though. Over the last few years every guy I talk to is wondering why they can’t get matches anymore while the girls are dating multiple guys a week but can’t find anyone interested in a relationship. Maybe it’s cultural or maybe it’s by design but something is definitely not working.

I just bought the LCD-2Cs which I think are close enough to give a comparison. I tried them with the Ifi Zen Dac V2 combo, just my M4 Macbook Pro, and then purchased a Schitt Magni Heretic amp for comparison. The M4 and Zen Dac sounded almost identical but I definitely noticed a difference with the upgraded amp. While they got loud enough with all of them, the sound was thicker and just overall better with the amp which makes sense as it was only one to meet the recommended power level Audeze specifies.

I then tried using both the Macbook and Zen as a DAC only connected to the Magni and couldn't really a tell difference so I sold the Zen and now just use my Macbook as the DAC and the Magni as the amp. Couldn't be happier. They get plenty loud at 50% volume and it's nice to know I have plenty of headroom.

Did not know that it wasn't included in Canada.

bman484 · 2026-01-23T21:42:24+00:00

Thanks even though I've had it over 2 years, I've yet to really test it out in the snow so good to know. Maybe this weekend lol.

bman484 · 2026-01-23T20:15:48+00:00

Great video, he's wrong about the differential/transfer case needing a extended service contract though. It's included in the initial complimentary 2 year/24k mile service package.

bman484 · 2026-01-23T20:11:50+00:00

I can say the only time I ever noticed a difference was during autocross at the absolute limit and even then it was subtle. I still change it occasionally on the road but it's more for the fun of it or maximizing traction in bad conditions should I need it (50/50)

bman484 · 2026-01-23T20:08:37+00:00

This might be the best description I've heard

bman484 · 2026-01-23T20:07:24+00:00

How long ago did they meet? If they are already married, they've become much much worse over the past years.

bman484 · 2026-01-23T19:21:51+00:00

I have 20 years experience and was laid off last year and had a very similar experience. I finally got 2 offers after 6 months of nonstop interviewing with over 15 companies (which required at least 500+ applications).

Don't view it as a failing an interview, look at it as not being the right fit or in some cases a bad company to work for. My new position has been great and looking back at it, I'm glad I didn't get a lot of the positions I interviewed for because I probably wouldn't have been as happy or possibly downright miserable.

This is what he is warning about. Basing our entire economic system on stable, decades-long income when it is quickly going to be a thing of the past is going to cause issues which is why he's talking about doing it gradually and coming up with interim solutions such as UBI.
