So will my wife.

Yeah. Road range is a big problem in these parts.

Still pretty fast compared with traffic in and around Seattle.

Is Bataan Peninsula considered to be walkable?

Reading instead of viewing isn't the problem. How many times do you see a video that's 30 minutes long that says "do these 3 things as you near retirement." They could choose to tell you all this in the first minute. Be concise. For example, move heavy into bonds to absorb 2+ years of a bad market, rebalance often, and reduce debt. Yes that is easy to read, but its also easy to say IF THEY CHOSE TO. Youtube wouldn't be able to show you as many ads though. Etc. So in review, absolutely wasting our time. It is by design structured to lengthen out content and waste time. Occasionally you get a real dude that'll talk about (for example) a fishing lure trick, show it to you right away, and then fish with it for another 30 minutes. Then you decide if you want to watch it all.

On the occasion that I tow, the most I generally have to go is about 30 miles round trip. There is a *theoretical* trip I might make that would be 30 miles one way without towing and then 30 miles the other way without towing, but it's actually never come up.

So a modest towing range isn't a huge deal breaker for me either.

However, I would think it be wise for them to have some EREV option. Particular bonus points if it is reasonably removable to get the storage space as needed when the generator won't be needed.

Your cat hasn't claimed your computer keyboard as it's soverein territory yet?

And yet these same animal rights activists reccommend that we all use public transportation.

Now all we need to do is to figure out how to give a cat a lithium pill.

... who makes these trackers?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

You perceive it as an LLM having an opinion. The LLM has no opinion, it just will agree with what you say. So it was in no way an active participant in concluding anything.

You said 'we' but that is an incorrect statement that can be a perilous mindset in ascribing too much agency and validation to a text generator.

How would you even know that there was a tuberculosis elephant unless you saw a news story already?

... to get Prince Andrew's files deleted?

No, you concluded, it agreed, which is what these solutions are inclined to do when in doubt. This is fine, but it's bad to start assuming that the output is externally validating your half of the conversation.

So in corporate software development, I think LLM can readily reduce the needed headcount.

One is they ask employees to generate tons of procedural documentation that no one will ever ever read. Management will look and see a linked document hundreds of pages long and be satisfied that it was created, but never once will it ever be used by another developer. It's what managers imagine developers want of each other and so they force it, and developers have to satisfy this misconception while also providing what the developers need. Mountains of tedious garbage nonsense that looks vaguely right, congratulations, that is 100% in the LLM wheelhouse.

Another is having a team of junior devs that the senior devs would favor a small junior team because that quantity of junior devs are more work and less useful, but execs think an army is what is needed, when you just really want a nimble little team. AI is the marketing to make the business folks true believers.

The core people are still needed, but a lot of 'fluff' that perhaps should have already been gone can now be rationalized away.
