I can do high level thinking for around 6 hours with just two scrambled eggs and a cup of coffee. What I need is something to prevent me from context drift. /starts googling how many scrambled eggs are equivalent to the energy consumed by a data center. Google how many chickens are in the world.../

Consider that you can do this as a working day because someone else is plowing the fields that grow your food, probably burning stored energy in fuels for the process We're sadly not that efficient. The 150kcal/6h=600kcal/day you've mentioned aren't enough, and it takes more than 600kcal to create 600kcal plus transportation into your home Besides, we won't stop existing, so any math about "chatgpt uses X kW and so i…

The 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…

Calling this web design is giving it too much credit. This is just a glorified marketing pamphlet, which is fine for its purpose.

As 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.

In a similar vein, the solar-powered website. [0]

Isn’t that a black mirror episode? Anyways, much like the Matrix, using humans for energy is insanely inefficient.

At low effort (i.e. active recovery can-do-this-all-day-every-day) levels, it's quite efficient. That assumes that you're fine with whatever let's say ~120w continuous can get you, which is what the m5 max 16'' mbp peaks at (in my case) during inference (ds4-flash)... so I guess it's quite usable, actually :)

Imagine the work(out)station of the future.

Now that iPhone has switched to USB-C, I can plug in my Apple Extended Keyboard directly without needing a dongle. It’s like magic.

I now have visions of an Apple Extended Extended Keyboard that comes with a crank...

It’s nothing new. In fact, many of the comments on this site were made by keyboards with cranks.

Er… I meant to say cranks with keyboards. Sorry. It was a rough weekend.

instead of complaining about the website, which wouldn't be allowed, i am just going to link this much better reading experience instead: https://squeezlabs.github.io/handcrank/ (from the "technical documentation" link at the bottom of that... page thing)

I gave up on that page halfway through and just came here to read comments. Can't be bothered with this stuff anymore. Thanks for the link!

Just use your page_up/page_down keys, and you can skip all the stupid/excessive scrolling requirements.

how do i press these buttons on my android phone?

Connect Keyboard, Press PgDn.

Or what I actually use for ssh on the road: https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard

Google kicked it from their store because it still supports older Androids but it still works just fine on the latest versions. It's on F-Droid.
