RE: Chilling out in Procida, Italy
Beautiful photos! So many people in my social media feeds are vacationing in Italy right now. It's making me want to experience it myself. What Italian cities would you recommend visiting for someone planning

Lol, that's the food-related shelf of my little library in the photo. : ) Thank you, it does smell really good! It'll be nice having as a travel companion. It was a very good concert! The venue was so

RE: Grok and Claude Go Head-to-Head
I think it's great to compare and this was all for fun. Each of the LLMs have their owns strengths and weaknesses in this tiny sliver of time. It won't be that way for long though. Soon all will be equally

That will be interesting if Apple ends up using Gemini. I've heard it's very capable. I guess compute is the only thing holding many of the models back right now. I think this is what prompted the deal

RE: Grok and Claude Go Head-to-Head
I don't use it enough to justify paying the $300/month for the most advanced version but I bet it's mind-blowing. The same holds true for the premium versions of all these AI-models I'm sure. I'm hearing

RE: The Influencer Effect
We're in the same boat. It's still nice to get a break from cooking every now and then but it's not worth the prices restaurants charge. I can even make better coffee at home than I get elsewhere. My only

That's good to know! I was actually going to try GPT and then switched to Claude because I had never used it before and was curious.

RE: The Influencer Effect
That looks like it was such a fun day! I never would have guessed there was a beach like that on Lake Michigan—it reminds me a little of Myrtle Beach. The food looks excellent! We can't believe how expensive

RE: Grok and Claude Go Head-to-Head
I'm dabbling more and more. It's been useful for trip planning for me. I had Grok create a packing list based on the destination (Sedona) and it took weather and everything into account. The list is less

RE: Pretty Armless
I'm sorry to hear about all of these injuries! I'd add cod liver oil and creatine into the mix. The cod liver oil will help reduce the inflammation, boost Vit D, and lube the joints and the 5-10g of creatine

RE: My First Cross-Country Roadtrip (gulp) in a Tesla
Thank you! I cheated and just named the car after the paint color. : ) That's a good point about June, Nancy! It'll be fun to revisit that book again. I can't wait to share snippets of our trip here. I'm

It’s officially named “Full Self Driving (supervised)” for now and you still have to be in the driver’s seat but after it’s approved you’ll be able to climb into the backseat and nap or read if you want.

Thanks! Once we get settled into our Airbnb I'll probably start blogging about it.

RE: My First Cross-Country Roadtrip (gulp) in a Tesla
Although I've never used Tesla's FSD on a cross country trip I've used it quite a bit on road trips within Minnesota and around town. I'd say it's ready for full unsupervised driving at this point—the

The Y has a range of 327 miles at 100% so we’ll be charging every 3-4 hours.

Not bad at all. We’re planning our stops for the night around every 3rd or 4th charging stop. We’ll be doing meals and restroom breaks at the charging stops too. The southern route we usually take is epically

I've been extremely lucky. It's made such a difference in my life to have her unconditional love and support. It sounds like you're lucky as well! Even though you don't have children of your own I'm sure

Thank you! You're right and that velocity is going to just keep exponentially increasing. I'm glad AI will has had its first few years of development before quantum computing is perfected and goes mainstream.
