What happens when technology lies to you? Dan rants about discovering that his exercise machine has been lying to him for more than a year now, but the episode (thankfully) evolves into a discussion of benchmarks and benchmarking. Bonus: one of the hosts offers a sneak preview of Hydra-1A, his personal home supercomputer.
