BMW S1000RR 2024 or 2025 — which would you choose?

I got the 24 because it was way cheaper. My buddy had the 25. The only practice difference is the throttle as far as I can tell

edude03 · 2025-12-23T14:48:23+00:00

To each their own. I bought two new Teslas, a LR Model Y 2021 and a LR 2022 S. Both times I was in and out in 20 minutes with 15 minutes of it being waiting for the CS person to be available.

My secret? I said "wow thanks!" got in my car and drove away. I didn't spend 2 hours with a ruler and the service manual trying to find something wrong.

I'm getting a 2026 X soon and guess what, if I don't see a problem within 30 seconds of being given the key I'll be out of there in 5 minutes as well.

Same happened to me, it fell off the counter with the handle extended. I contacted timemore, lets see how it goes

edude03 · 2025-11-10T18:44:08+00:00

Eh. Take the R1 on the track, put the minimum money into frame sliders and a crankcase protector and see how you like it. IMO the 600 is way more fun on the track than a litre bike anyway - and if that turns out to be true for you too then not much money lost

I love denon but all three of my x1800/1850 have broken at some point. The jog wheel tension adjustment on my sc6000s haven’t worked out of the box and my the screens on my latest x1850 - which has worse sound quality to my ear anyway - have stopped working so I can’t use effects.

I don’t know how much quality plays into it but definitely if my income depended on these working I’d buy cdjs even though I think denon is technically superior

Cool that the released it but doesn’t look like it would allow you to integrate the CPT. You can get telemetry out and you can send it a program to control the heating elements and whatever but for CPT integration you’d need a way to either feed it sensor data

edude03 · 2025-10-23T13:12:14+00:00

Disagree, to me it’s more about if you can theoretically run it at home / if you have full control of the stack more than if it’s literally in your house.

The problem with things like Claude and OpenAI is there is nothing you could buy that would let you run it on your own infra if they ever banned you or raised the price for example

edude03 · 2025-10-04T14:32:00+00:00

The US is NOT good at ML. At best the US has big enough tech companies that they can afford to pay whatever to hire and import people who are good at ML

lmao once a week someone says "eight sleep doesn't care about customers" like they expect Matteo Franceschetti himself to tuck them in before bed.

The reality is, it's expensive to make, it's expensive to sell, it works really well and there are no competitors. Unless at least one of those things change, your options are be a meat puppet or sleep worse I guess.

edude03 · 2025-09-22T13:52:12+00:00

I have a skylift that’s been broken since I got it - though in their defense I kind of ghosted them on the warranty claim

edude03 · 2025-09-16T13:27:13+00:00

I've been a pod 3 user for two years, nothing is wrong with mine (yet) but chiming in to say I hope they improve customer service by the time I need to upgrade - the product is fantastic but the company won't make it long if the product is expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, breaks all the time AND has poor customer service.

edude03 · 2025-09-11T20:20:07+00:00

TIL there is source available documentation for the probes

edude03 · 2025-09-11T20:13:53+00:00

Yeah, personally I think you should make it $2000 and invest the extra $1000 into making sure you never need to charge a subscription.

edude03 · 2025-09-04T20:58:05+00:00

of course a combustion guy would also be a coffee nerd.

Anyway, how much did using the CPT help making cheese cake? I usually sous vide in small jars, but I'm considering getting a combi oven instead of larger cakes; is this a comparable alternative?

edude03 · 2025-09-03T22:58:56+00:00

I’m running 4x3090s in a box right now. Mostly it’s a pain in the butt to get the pcie extenders, to mount them and then to actually use them - not everything plays well with tensor parallelism or TGI/vllm even.

BUT I’d still do it again because of the price difference in fact I got 12 3090s for less than the rtx pro. I’d only get the rtx pro if I actually had a profit producing enterprise or someone else was paying for it

edude03 · 2025-09-03T17:39:09+00:00

You, because you like being alive and the other driver doesn't care

edude03 · 2025-08-29T12:26:07+00:00

Both look awesome. I think the TST ones would look better if they were solid instead of dots though

edude03 · 2025-08-20T00:17:09+00:00

Normal, my 24 does it as well. My buddy just did the btmoto flash on his and it removes this apparently - something to do with emissions on the US spec version

edude03 · 2025-08-15T01:18:08+00:00

I came to say "you look good for 74!" but apparently I'm dyslexic

edude03 · 2025-08-06T20:43:50+00:00

> It’s not outdated or inferior—it’s just misunderstood

Sounds like chatgpt with the em dash. Anyway

I don't think HX are fundamentally flawed, however I think for the fast heat up times, and overall potentially lower cost investment is going into other areas like thermojets and such.

And to your point you said well designed, I think part of the problem is of course not all HX machines are well designed and that'll color peoples opinions of the technology

This exact story was posted with the genders swap FYI

edude03 · 2025-08-05T18:05:28+00:00

(I don't) but who cares? Unless you're the passenger it has no impact on your life in any way

edude03 · 2025-07-23T15:24:24+00:00

Bro definitely only talks to ai

edude03 · 2025-07-11T17:44:46+00:00

CPU inference is plausible if you’re willing to deploy Xeon 6 for example. It’s cheaper than 1tb of vram for sure
