Good resource thanks for posting! It seems like they really went out of their way to avoid mentioning EBikes. My experience has been that for folks with disabilities EBikes are a game changer as they allow people to put in as much effort as comfortable but not go past that. I also think the section about it getting sweaty could have mentioned EBikes as a potential solution. I understand they don't want to piss off cycling purists, but I think it's important to recognize the positive impacts these new technologies have.

Finally, I get their stance on helmets and agree that helmet mandates aren't ideal. That said, I think it's disengenuous to say that helmets are useless. It's true that those studies looking at city helmet use found no difference in safety overall, but I'm not convinced that wearing a helmet wouldn't improve my personal safety. I've absolutely wrecked a helmet riding on the street, and I'm very glad it wasn't my head instead.

The plugin is just called "git" it comes with ohmyzsh out of the box. You just have to enable it in your zshrc.

Are you able to fall back to normal git commands if you don't know the shortcuts? This sounds awesome until I can't remember the syntax to do something I don't do everyday.

Ohmyzsh with the git plugin is my fave - gaa & gcmsg "a commit" feels like the right level of verbosity for me.

My guy you shouldn't have visited New Jersey... In all seriousness though, this is at least partly satirical right? There are definitely some tough spots in America like most places, but when I went to Europe and Scandinavia it was about the same.

I mean, many folks would say that's what leclerc did successfully in 2021. That's a bit of a conspiracy, and doesn't make a ton of sense (gearbox penalty etc.) but it's not impossible.

Separate constructors from teams - I'd love to see the whole field in near-identical cars only differentiated by setup and driver. Alternatively balance of power rules like Imsa could make racing a lot more competitive while keeping constructors around.

I'd argue it shouldn't matter what the cause is. It's a little far fetched, but I could imagine teams organizing mechanical failures to gain an unfair advantage. All it would take is to tell the driver the wrong gearbox mode to cause a spin, Monaco style. As written it would suck to have an honest car failure and then lose extra grid places, but I think those kind of incidents will be pretty equally spread among the field.

Speckled Ax really is good shit. Love their new cafe as well if you're ever in Portland!

For better or for worse he's got a lot of friends within openai. Sounds like many of them have threatened to resign if he's gone. If he goes and starts a competing company without the ethical guardrails, I think it's likely a lot of folks will follow him. He also has very tight ties to the investing community so he would likely be able to raise funds quickly. I think there's a solid chance he could make a credible competitor to openai within the next 5 years, especially if they lose talent/money over this.
