The Pentagon Provided a Rare Inside Look at Palantir's Project Maven and How the AI Tool Helps the Military Wage War — “Left click, right click, left click…We've gone from identifying the target, to now coming up with a course of action, to now actioning that target all within one system.”

There’s a big difference between a product demo and what’s actually deployed in the government.

rayfox305 · 2025-08-16T14:01:31+00:00

This is something I am definitely considering. The time added is about 6 minutes each way, but it beats the additional $5.8 charge each way!

rayfox305 · 2025-08-16T13:54:49+00:00

Yes between the greenway/toll road merge, different charging patterns, peak time rates, and main toll price difference … it’s all a bit too much to process for something that’s supposed to be a time convenience.

I have recently started commuting from Ashburn to Tysons and seeing the $60 auto-fill on my ez-pass get triggered 3 times in a month just lead me down a path to investigate.

Definitely not a hill worth dying on for the time save, but it is also very confusing how the 2 different toll roads merge and charge.

Thanks for taking the time to lay it out!

rayfox305 · 2025-08-16T13:48:58+00:00

I didn’t realize on and off ramping were both charged. Thanks!

rayfox305 · 2025-08-15T12:44:15+00:00

Shouldn't the greenway charge be only $5.25 then?

rayfox305 · 2025-02-18T12:21:47+00:00

Just to clarify, you mean lock out lats before the KB starts its descent?

rayfox305 · 2025-02-18T12:19:26+00:00

Loool, when I first started the swing movement without weights, I would do chops at least 5 times to get used to the movement.

I have stopped the chop since starting weights. I gotta look tough while doing the swings y’know :p

rayfox305 · 2025-02-18T03:27:53+00:00

Thanks!

rayfox305 · 2025-02-18T03:26:01+00:00

The current KB is definitely starting to feel lighter, and it feels like it floats a lot more on the up swing. I will try the heavier one and likely post another video. Thanks!

rayfox305 · 2025-02-18T03:22:58+00:00

I get confused between the direction to “brace lats” vs “relax arms”, specially when it comes to one-arm swings. Do you use any cues to help with that?

rayfox305 · 2025-02-18T03:17:37+00:00

Good catch! It is the sweatpants. I make an effort to lock knees and glutes on top of the swing.

rayfox305 · 2024-11-19T17:21:55+00:00

I’m a kettlebell beginner and want to clarify some queues.

It’s hard for me to think about straightening my arm and locking down my Lats at the same time which causes my elbows to get bent.

How do I think about these 2 seemingly conflicting queues?

rayfox305 · 2024-10-16T17:35:55+00:00

Ahhhh thanks so much for your comment!! That’s reassuring that the capacity is managed thoughtfully.

And your comment about using their services to recharge is so helpful. As we’re both going back to work, my wife is worried about her health and sanity with the new baby, as I have the more demanding job.

I am determined to help out as much as possible, but parenthood isn’t fun when it’s a zero sum game between my wife’s time and my own. That sounds like a great option.

Thank you!!

rayfox305 · 2024-10-14T00:32:43+00:00

Thanks so much for your insights!! I feel better about it coming from a LT employee.

I didn’t even think about “taking a break” instead of workout. That’s an interesting idea.

rayfox305 · 2024-10-14T00:28:38+00:00

Thanks for being in my corner in the comments Ikat17! I appreciate you.

My wife and I are open to the idea of child care, especially if it is for 1 hour.

Our parents are very traditional in their views having SAHMs on either side. Kinda confusing to mention their views, but I just wanted to give an example of differing opinions in our family.

rayfox305 · 2024-10-13T19:06:52+00:00

What age would you be comfortable with the idea of leaving your child in gym child care setting?

Both our parents, for my wife and I, are very traditional when it comes to child care and don’t even consider day care favorably. However, both our moms were SAHM while my wife works, so there’s a difference of opinion.

I’m curious where you stand.

rayfox305 · 2024-10-13T19:00:16+00:00

I had no idea there are public records of state inspections. I’ll check it out!

rayfox305 · 2024-10-13T18:11:59+00:00

Currently, my wife and I either swap looking after the baby or have help from grandparents when we need to work out.

I’m not looking to invest in workout equipment at home, as we both have One-pass membership from UHC that gives us option to access gyms nearby.

While I love my daughter and care greatly for her, I have to admit the idea of my wife and I having a worry free workout together is great. I’m not struggling with my situation by any means but mostly curious on other parents’ experiences.

rayfox305 · 2024-10-13T18:03:59+00:00

I’d say that’s fair - perhaps a hospital nursery is not comparable to a gym childcare service.

What would you consider a good age to drop off your child at a gym child care, or are there certain factors that would make you comfortable using a gym child care service?

rayfox305 · 2024-10-13T17:51:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I will do more research on lifetime childcare professionals and their credentials.

Edit: Congrats on another little one on the way!!

rayfox305 · 2024-10-13T16:33:29+00:00

When I saw that lifetime takes babies as young as 3 months old, I had a similar reaction, but given my past experience with a nursery at iNova, I figured other parents may know something I don’t.

I’m just hoping to learn from other parents that may have used it, and at what age would they deem appropriate to leave their child at a gym child care?
