If you sometimes consider doing some "partial disassembly of the hub" you sound like an enthusiast (or pro even?). That's totally fine. I know that perfecting machines can bring joy.

I still think that belts attempt to solve a solved problem on bicycles; solved years ago for a lot cheaper.

I feel chain cases only "get in the way" if the service is minor: the exact sort of thing that they prevent; like lubricating. In the examples you give the case is off the bike. Then it would only be in the way if you put it in an unhandy spot in the shed. 🤣

I'm a little confused @glmiller.bsky.social ... What is so incredible? The idea that Venezuela has enormous oil reserves? Or the jarring English that Claude produces about it? Was the answer a match for your prompt?

What I find spectacular is that I derive Zero trust from llm text...

I'm on team belt-drive-is-an-expensive-unnecessary-non-innovation.

Internal hub gears give the opportunity for an enclosed chaincase. Which puts the zero in actual near-zero maintenance, for a lot cheaper.

Oh, yeah, and before you ask: AI. Of course.

Ik vermoed dat dit niet de meest betekenisvolle grootheid is van de energietransitie.

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand)
Results:
Last week: 100% RE
Last 220 weeks: 98.6% RE (1/5)

Ik vind Marsmissies nog steeds wel spannend. En NASA is ondanks een aantal factoren toch nog steeds wel een OK organisatie. Jammer dat ze Bezos kiezen voor lancering. Ik denk niet dat we ruimtewetenschap moeten opgeven, mede omdat ik niet denk dat dat een grote factor is mbt globale problemen.

Kunnen we -voor de empathie die nodig is om elkaars problemen te helpen oplossen- nog wel op jou rekenen, LL?

Yeah. Coz life really isn't financial enough yet

I think you're right that on these figures the model querying isn't the end of energy world.

The spectacular figures out there sem to be for training, like 250GW, operational by 2030 for OpenAI alone, eg. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr....
OpenAI’s colossal AI data center targets would consume as much electricity as entire nation of India — 250GW target would require 30 million GPUs annually to ensure continuous operation, emit twice as...

A worked example in this MIT Tech REview doc includes 15 txt, 10 img and 3 vid "queries" for an estimated 2.9 kWh,. THis equates to 103 Wh/query
November 14, 2025 at 5:04 AM
the 0.3 Wh/query you use, @johnquiggin.bsky.social , sounds a lot like the 0.34 that Sam Altman published (blog.samaltman.com/the-gentle-s...).

> [...]the average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours[...]

How much do you trust that source.
