For reference, this is what 700W cycling looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4O5voOCqAQ

I took several biomechanics classes as electives back in my undergrad, and in one assignment I remember comparing the energy outputs between the human and robot equivalents of different tasks, whether or not the robot was humanoid in how it was designed. The most impressive think that stuck with me is that humans are incredibly efficient , from an energy perspective, in anything we do, compared to machines. Every tim…

The efficient mode of transportation is a human on a bicycle.

We have a gym at work. We can have half the team generate tokens and half the team use the tokens.

Put up a leader board in the gym on tokens generated.

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

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.

The real question is does the power button on the AEK still work on iOS?

You have to also hold down `ctrl` [+power], but yes.

Annoying. Blame the Germans and their lighting laws for bicycles. I want human powered USB-C with enough oomph to power a modest sound system or lights, whilst charging my phone. The allure of USB-C is what interests me, but 3W is not much to work with. Also annoying, no rear dynamo for my bike, so I can't even double up to 6W. I will probably end up with no sound system and just expensive dynamo lights, using a USB…

> power a modest sound system please don't inflict your music on everyone around you.

A literally modest system would center around headphones. :)

Something that we miss from the puzzle of AI effort/energy consumption is what would be the amount of energy to build something or to find something in case that we had not the AI. we would need much more days to build a software, more people more energy. But with AI all these resources are reduced. We have to find the equilibrium among the entities..

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…

yea i can't stand this. im not so boomer i want every webpage to be like. times new roman white background and just using and bulleted lists, but idk i cant even put a finger on what im not enjoying here. think it's possibly using scrolling as a way to try and force me to read through stuff. jokes on them, i can't read. not giving me the agency to click around into info that interests me drives me nuts, chances are i…

Alright, I'll be the boomer and say that's what I want every webpage to be like. If you want to customize it you can bring your own CSS or download someone else's. The modern web is a nightmare of user-hostile time-thieving behavioral manipulation and our brains would be better off without it.

Not even an ADB-to-USB dongle?

Thirty years ago, Apple made a translucent green ADB "keypad" which had a small LCD display (perhaps only two lines of text?) – marketed towards academics, it allowed students to learn touch-typing without the distractions of an entire computer.

Once you were happy with your touch-typed document, you then plugged the "keypad" directly into your Mac's ADB (keyboard/mouse) port... and the thing would sit there and manually re-type your composition into the computer's texteditor.

Education needs such "reduced tech" to return to teaching. Think of this one as a "more advanced typewriter" – although I own a few of those, too, and they're fantastic for pure composition.
