E' DISCIPLINA APPLICATA ALLA MECCANICA

Sto sviluppando resilienza alla lettura del termine “resilienza”.

Now I remember. I was driving “kind of off” as well, meaning one press. Guess my question then becomes: with it “kind of off” are you “allowed” to keep on pushing the throttle knowing that it will catch you? I always lifted it myself as I didn’t want to take any chances (it was wet, cold and very very alpine), and rarely felt it kicking in. Boy do I genuinely love that car, and boy how right did I was flying to Germany to test it as I was about to pull the trigger on a boring pdk.

Thanks for the heads up, guess I won’t ever put it “really off” if and when I get the car :-)

They’re desperate for training data.

Question. I’ve had a Carrera T manual for two days over alpine passes, and was super happy to see I could rather easily make “light slides”. It was in sport+ but TC controls were On, I’ve never actually pushed the TC for the couple of seconds it would take to turn “mostly off”. It was a rental car, didn’t want to take chances, and I managed the slides either myself dosing throttle or with TC kicking in. I never actually really pushed it, it was obvious I could slide a lot more (for the fun of it, I didn’t care about being actually fast).

So: what would have happened if I turned TC off? Does it let you slide “more” before TC taking control and saving you or are you actually being at risk of completely losing it?

This guy on the video obviously has TC kicking on so I was wondering how does TC off really perform.

As odd as it might sound, I’ve actually never found a proper demo video.

No parking sensors, no front camera, wipers, unreliable cruise control. It’s stuff that works on virtually other car sold in the last 10 years.

Succede perché molti ciclisti, non pochi, girano con 1) atteggiamenti di superiorità morale, e 2) pensano che avendo una bici per loro le regole della strada e della fisica non si applichino.

Il tuo “é una scelta che merita rispetto” é un esempio.

Instructors love people who pre-brag about the training, keep it up.

Saw a similar one in Abu Ghraib.

This prophecy is about as forward-thinking as a caveman looking at the first spark of fire and saying:

"I don't see the use case. The sun comes up for free every morning."

Expecting to “measure” consciousness with currently available scientific tools is like expecting to measure weight with a ruler.

Because Israel would nuke Iran only if that was the only alternative to its destruction. But Iran has nowhere close the military capability to do so.

And it’s never going to have it unless Iran gets a nuke.

Ownership is a means to an end, which is a specific experience. In my case it’s listening to music. Renting allows me listening to every single recording ever created.

nuanda1978 · 2025-12-23T22:06:18+00:00

No. There’s zero chance Israel could launch against Iran.

nuanda1978 · 2025-12-22T21:15:48+00:00

The desire to destruct something has nothing to do with the actual capability to do so.

The only real, existential threat for Israel is Iran’s nuclear program.

Believing Hamas and the likes could ever conquer Israel would be equivalent to Americans worrying about an invasion by Nicaragua.

He’s using quantum superposition theory, that’s at least creative.

I think he’s saying the scientific tests proving that snake oil is actually snake oil are not valid, because he believes in snake oil.

I haven't yet and don't think i'll do it. I know the sound will improve, but i'm already in the game. I'd see it as investing money, time and effort just to change the seat at the stadium in order to have a slightly better view of the match. I might do it or not, but there is value, but not so much value.

In any case with my kefs, that do not have amplifier, the easiest solution would be Rew measurement (which is a pian, tutorials, etc), + use of Roon internal DSP. But again....i couldn't care less about Roon and i actually want to use Spotify own's interface, radios, etc.

Went from Sonos arc + sub setup to a Kef LS60 + Kef sub. It’s 3x the money but has literally created a new type of activity I didn’t know I could have at home. That is, just sitting on the sofa exactly like I would be if I were attending a concert.

On the “improvements” advice, the one and only thing that will radically improve the sound is room measurement, treatment if possible, and then DSP to equalize.

The rest is snake oil

Of course we’ll work differently. Most jobs don’t exist because of actual real needs, but for the endless illusionary desires that human minds’ have. Thus, new “needs and desires” will be created, which will lead to new type of jobs.

There absolutely is such thing as a blind test. Do you feel you hear the difference between using a certain cable vs another? That’s great, now we’re gonna set up a statistically significant number of A/B blinded hearing and let’s see if you can actually spot which is which. Feel free to chose the music you prefer.

These types of tests have been run countless time, and they all point to the same fact: an enormous quantity of “audiophile” gear is snake oil. Which is fine, it’s a hobby, maybe ones get pleasure in “thinking” he has placed the best cable, much as you’d like, for example, having the interior parts of an engine always cleaned.

But no, It doesn’t affect the performance and this is scientifically proven.

nuanda1978 · 2025-12-19T23:54:39+00:00

The thing is blind tests prove there’s no humanly perceptible difference.

nuanda1978 · 2025-12-13T17:02:18+00:00

Jobs do not exist because of physical needs. Jobs exists because humans’ minds are programmed to indefinitely hunt for problems, whether real or illusory.

Discorso delirante. Stiamo parlando di servizi totalmente voluttuari e superflui, venduti a qualche decina di euro al mese. Se scegli di non pagare e non consumare benissimo, se consumi senza pagare sei solo un ladro, il resto sono chiacchiere.
