I'm surprised that's still around. Is the average age still 14 on these networks?
Irgend ein Bosch Motor (ca 40W) direkt an den Pedalen. Lange kontinuierliche Anstiege hab ich nicht, dafür kurze und sehr intensive. Die packt das Ding ganz gut.
Ich hab mir ein gebrauchtes gekauft und darauf geachtet dass die Bremsen vernünftig sind. Entweder Hydraulik oder Scheibe. Motor war mir relativ egal, aber der Akku sollte schon mindestens 400Wh haben.
Bin einigermaßen zufrieden, aber hatte nicht bedacht dass E-Bikes nicht dafür gedacht sind ohne Motor zu fahren. Bei diesen unsäglichen Aluminium Kurbeln sind mir zwei mal die Treter aus dem Gewinde gerissen(!) und ich musste die Kurbeln austauschen (und ein neues Werkzeug dafür kaufen).
Crazy. North Korea throwing poop. China going on an axe rampage. Which asylum will take those two please?
"To the contrary, the decision barely mentions copyright's ultimate purpose of promoting broad public availability of literature, music, and the other arts," it said.
It feels like the thoughts of the past came straight out of fiction. Today, nothing seems worth anything if you can't directly make money from it.
We should call it by what it really is: a power grab by the ruling class, upsetting the checks and balances that were achieved through decades and decades of struggle.
What are the prices for private solar plants? For Germany's electricity prices and current retail prices, PV and battery will pay for itself after around 6-8 years.
What's the consumer price for electricity in Spain?
Nope. It's consequential. They need to raise their shareholder value in any way that's legal, even if it's not morally right. If they won't do that, they'd get into trouble. For corporations tax loopholes are there to be exploited.
Making those loopholes illegal is what will fix this. Then you can call it good craftsmanship by politicians. Right now you can barley call it shoddy.
Ich hatte mal Trauermücken in einem Blumentopf, den ich geschenkt bekommen habe. Der hat dann andere Pflanzen infiziert, unter anderem einen riesigen Ficus. Die ganze Wohnung war voll von Fliegen. Ich hatte dann viel Geld für Gelbfallen ausgegeben, aber es hat alles nichts geholfen. Sobald eine genügend große Population im Erdreich ist, halfen bei mir nur Nematoden (sind so Würmer). Die hab ich mir dann online besorgt, und die kamen in einer Papiertüte in Pulverform. Vermutlich die Eier. Das hab ich dann mit dem Gießwasser vermischt und ins Erdreich befördert, wo sie dann die Trauermückeneier und Larven verspeist haben. Dann war der Spuk vorbei und sind bis heute nicht wiedergekommen.
Took them an oil crisis (70s) to figure this out to be fair.
how developmental biology might contain the secrets to life, intelligence, and immortality
It's difficult to extinct us. If will take a thousand years of volcanoes, bad harvests, pandemics without vaccines, etc.
We're just so many now.
What's a lot faster is to wipe away the achievements of civilization, pushing us back into a state where starvation, disease and suffering are the norm and not the exception.

Lessons after a half-billion GPT tokens
My startup (gettruss.io) released a few LLM-heavy features in the last six months, and the narrative around LLMs that I read on Hacker News is now starting to diverge from my reality, so I thought I’d share some of the more “surprising” lessons after churning through just north of 500 million tokens...

Honestly, this is really cool. I tried building something like this a few month ago but struggled as I didn't have all the concepts nailed down yet.
But this is even better than I imagined. It's so clean and powerful. Look at the example:
