Seth from Berm Peak talks about how he used some LLM tools to make a local controller for a (terrible) e-bike gated behind an abandoned app.

Donations hasn’t been a successful path for the wider internet, no reason to expect any difference here. Ads embedded in the images, or perhaps listen to a message from our sponsor…

I was addressing your statement that Earth is always changing. Yes, of course it is, obviously at +/- 20°C little that we recognise now would survive, but the transition is a lot l…

Your car can go at 0 kph and 100 kph. It’s the rate of the change that kills you, not the speed.

It’s also been tried (endlessly), but society is too enamoured with consumption and GDP as the principle guiding metric for it to have had much effect. Some large number of people,…

Regulation aside, a significant issue is physical area. Most people won’t have access to enough area in the right direction to make it a primary source.

I'm don't think it's ridiculous - it's simply a positive acknowledgement you've seen the message, even if there's no action required. The alternative would be repeated reminders un…

This is not the case here as the software is required to use the hardware they’re selling at any quantity. The software is cost entirely for them, if you’re not buying the hardware…

No, you don't have to. If you are employed through a company, stay below £100K income and don't have other income then (generally) you don't need to do a tax return - it's all hand…

A lot of people in the UK file their taxes (~12 million, roughly 35% of employed adults, not taking into account those unemployed with assets and pensions), but the self assessment…

Yes, the newer suppliers have EV and solar friendly domestic tariffs. Plug it in overnight, and the supplier determines when the charge happens and charges at the reduced rate.

N=2, but my Decathlon bikes have well over 50000 km between them with no issues, beyond the usual wear and tear. Value wise, they are fantastic. They are road bikes, however, not t…

Link to Mark Owen’s excellent QFP library for soft float on Cortex-M0+ (ARMv6-M) and Cortex-M3/M4 (ARMv7-M). https://www.quinapalus.com/qfplib.html Nice write up here, too, I like …

My feeling about programmable IOs is they’re fun, but not the right choice for commodity high speed interfaces like USB. You obviously can make them work, but they’re large compare…

One person in the Lords raising the issue in no way constitutes widespread calls for conscription.

I haven’t heard a peep about conscription, can you provide a source? There was some vague national service proposal for school leavers a couple of years ago, but that was it.

Maintainance and upgrades. These big shared facilities they are shutdown regularly and researchers work flat out while they're up.

Hah, also fair point - there are plenty of people who would say this completely earnestly! :)

I read this with a large /s on the end...

Maximum power output and maximum (assisted) speed are generally legislated. In the UK, an e-bike is up to 250 W and 25 kph. More than that, it would classify as a motorbike and you…

Why not? It's a factual report stating that the AAIB has opened an investigation into a potentially dangerous incident. There's not any editorial bias evident. See other extensive …
