I listen to a lot of podcasts but I never laugh out loud like I do to the songs from "Unexplainabl or Not" from @vox.com. Pure gold

@joshkovensky.bsky.social for the social club podcast, y'all should check out "They Shoot Horses Don't They". Would be curious how it would land now.

A bit out of my normal topics, but I published my take on meditation. "Office hours for the multi-agent mind"

Meditation for Engineers
Meditation as office hours for your multi-agent mind. Or, “How a 20-year meditor gets the most out of daily meditation.”

@mattpt55.bsky.social pertaining to your last podcast. Unlike the hybrid road car you drove recently, the F1 cars have plenty of power out of the corners to spin the wheels, so they are tire limited there. Thus top speed is the place to add power from the hybrid.

My F1 reccon: Max Verstappen's results will be highly correlated to the track popularity in iRacing. I expect meh results next race in Monoco (not in iRacing) then a string of successes from Barcelona to Monza.

Finished my first 24 hour team race in iRacing. So epic. I avoided taking out our car in drenching rain, so that's a win for me.

For the holidays, I've taken a break from my normal blogging to share an excerpt from my grandfather's World War 2 memoir.

Gotta say I enjoyed that race. Leclerc cutting through the gap between Max and Piastri was amazing. #f1
