#132Earlier quoted context omitted.
For reference, this is what 700W cycling looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4O5voOCqAQ
I am a nerdy blue collar electrician and that was incredibly interesting . Only 0.002kWH from that beast of a cyclist. I would suspect my equivalency to be about 1/3rd a Robert [unit of measure from vidlink].
I'm sure he could have generated way more total energy if he wasn't trying to get get that max power.

#133It's things like this that give me hope for humanity.
Re: CrankGPT
#134This is so cool; I wonder what the roadmap includes? I'd love to see if this could evolve from gag product/gift idea, to a solar-powered inference box on slightly more robust hardware, for instance, completely freeing the owner from any need to purchase a subscription or rely upon the grid for inference. That would be freaking cool and I'm sure would sell a ton if the models that could run on the hardware were suffic…
I think it's a joke?
Re: CrankGPT
#135As a bit of an aside, I really like the idea of trying to design things with the constraint of it having to be able to run off a hand-crank. I feel like it is not only an interesting engineering challenge but one that might lead to a more efficient and sustainable framing.
Or we could... hear me out... build more power plants. The de-growth stuff is pretty evil when you take it to it's logical conclusion of population control.
There's a bit of a difference between population control and reaching a sustainable equilibrium. One can also argue the death of all life on earth is a pretty evil logical conclusion of infinite growth on a finite planet.

#136The webpage linked is an example of everything I wish people would stop doing in web design. Fortunately, at the bottom there is a link to the "technical documentation" ( https://squeezlabs.github.io/handcrank/ ) which is vastly improved (aside from being light-mode-only and linked from a dark-mode-only marketing page). It also gives me much more interesting information (specifically: models that can apparently run a…
Totally agree on the atrocious landing page. The technical one is much better, although the power supply circuit by using a resistive balancer and a linear regulator wastes some good power for nothing.

#137Slavery with extra steps? Are we trying to power some douche-bag scientist's car battery?
I guess ppl who down voted didnt get the Rick and Morty reference.

Do not confuse curiosity and caring for extremism.
If someone said they pick up trash on the side of the road to help the environment you wouldn't say the logical conclusion of their ideology would be that they become the unabomber

need the south park episode with the shake weight version of this

It's not more sustainable though. It takes more energy to grow the food to get the calories to metabolize to turn the crank than it would to run an electric motor or a engine to do the same work.
