I'm at large company and pretty much everyone has settled on opus or sonnet 4.6. We would absolutely not allow something like OpenClaw on our network so your point kinda fits here where, if capacity is constrained, then by setting focus away from OpenClaw you're essentially prioritising the enterprise clients. Just spitballing of course

Nice

I have a big commute and in the (Canadian) winter my old 750Wh was sometimes not up to the task. So I went wildly over the top and built a huge cap battery. I never need to worry now

What kind of capacity from your LFP battery? Is it diy built? I did one in the spring 16S with 25Ah cells and it's been amazing since. Only problem is it's a bit too big to fit anywhere I'd like it to. I have to mount it on a rear rack

Unusual for ebikes to use lifepo as they are much larger and heavier than standard lithium ion. Especially in cylindrical formats that are needed to make bike friendly battery shapes.

Agree, they each have benefits. I broke a chain with my mid drive in winter and really wished I had the redundancy of a hub motor. Also, many many bikes cannot easily fit a mid drive retrofit though I think the diy community isn't as large these days given the variety of ebikes available

Regen braking is a thing for ebikes. I can't speak to OEM ebikes, but check out grin at ebikes.ca. They offer all the parts.

There are some cool features too like setting a speed limit after which Regen activates, so coasting down a hill will recharge you and add resistance to keep you at a safe speed.

The caveat is it doesn't make sense on mid drives because they freewheel when coasting

It's interesting whenever this comes up on Reddit and there are a hundred comments parroting how dangerous this is, but on closer inspection you can see the comments cannot discriminate between important details - eg. talking about how dangerous extension springs are, having no clue that they are different than torsion springs. Always fun to see how many people will pretend they have knowledge on a subject they have no experience in.

I played around with intermittent fasting in the early stages of covid lockdown because I was gaining weight being inside all the time.

I would frequently be in ketosis before breaking fast per the urine strips - despite not intentionally limiting carbs at all.

It was an interesting experiment but after having a kid I found it tough to keep the routine. I was in amazing shape for a little while though

Chains usually have no service interval, so at the outset they seem cheaper and more reliable. But the unfortunate reality is they still fail, or something related to keeping them on fails, you just live in a false sense of security for a few 10's of thousands of km more

I share your disdain for drums. Only issue is every four wheel disc vehicle I own still has a drum for the parking brake. Except these days they're electronic and need a scan tool to release them and get the rotor off!

That's talking about rounds earlier in the year. TFA mentions the numbers for this one are unclear.

Not enough numbers to trigger disclosure laws?

Previous round was dozens?

So we're talking 15 employees?

This brings back memories of the microwave lab in school which held the donated network analyzers ($$$) and was behind a keycard door within another lab that was behind its own keycard door.

Still amazed that someone was able to come up with this tool
