I feel like a lot of this could be explained by how good Opus 5.5 is compared to Fable. People don’t need Fable for most tasks.
That is sort of like saying why apply reinforcement learning (most of the modern improvements in LLMs have come from RL) to any raw LLM. They are refining it to perform better at certain tasks.
Is it actually free to use? i cant find the pricing page
“A 5 GW data center would require a solar array with dimensions of approximately 4 km by 4 km”
I think dodging debris is challenging at that scale.
Also this is the solar cells not the radiators
the model is a set of weights, you can take a snapshot and test it. Reinforcement learning itself is largely testing and tuning.
be careful how you mount it, make sure that there is enough dampening. people have had issues with excessive vibration and damaging the OIS and focusing motors in the cameras.
what is insane, is that ble is largely unsecured in modern implementations. when testing, i kept picking up everyones whoops/assorted ble devices spamming out heart rate data to whomever wanted to connect.
note using a phone mounted to a bike or motorcycle can cause damage over time to the camera assembly especially the motors used for OIS. depending on how much you ride or the quality of the roads you ride, it could be an issue.
your project does look amazing. sorry that the appstore team is holding things up.
RE: ANT+, a hackrf one and fable was key to the hack.
refresh rate is sort of a non issue. i can push the refresh rate to up to 20Hz, it is largely unnecessary for this project.
it has a nice backlight (basically identical to a kindle display)
color is fair, but i dont miss it.
i do absolutely love how readable it is in direct sunlight (when im mostly riding)
i can push it as high as 20Hz.
yes me too. i may be working on something...
technically i dont think the coros uses an eink display. but it is definitely one of the cooler bike computers.
I hadnt heard of it. I will check it out.
i have been using it in my car during commutes for testing. modern eink displays can do pretty high refresh rates. i think i can hit 20hz.
i have ridden with this unit over five hundred miles and not had any issues. though SF Bay Area summers arent as tough as other places.
yes. they luckily the same phy, 1 Mbit/s GFSK modulation.

Hey all, i just launched my Eink Bike computer project and think it is cool.Another tidbit, in the crazy things that AI has done... It has helped create a ANT (common sensor wireless protocol used in workout/biking) implementation for ESP32 by messing around with undocumented registers: https://github.com/RaemondBW/esp32-ant
they should wait for the major lockups to pass, there by skipping some of the inevitable volatility they will likely cause.
I tried to test an ad in the meta ad platform… and it is insanely terrible. Teams don’t care about B2B software even if it drives the business or there aren’t viable competitors.
This reminds me of a piece I just saw at the Legion of Honor (SF) special exhibit on the etruscans. They have a Etruscan manuscript, written on linen, that was used to wrap a mummy.

I think this is a bigger factor for Lyft/uber where the passenger rating impacts the driver directly. Passengers are annoyed anytime their pickup isn’t directly in front of them on the street. They will down rate a driver that pulls into a legal spot farther away then a spot blocking a bike lane directly in front of them.
This is less of an issue for Waymo, because the passenger rating doesn’t mean as much except customer satisfaction with the service as a whole.
If it is available for training, I assume it is available for discovery.
"SpaceXAI and
@cursor_ai
are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.
The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.
Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together."
im on a mac and had the same issue.
other bugs:
when i pan around (while zoomed far in), the planes arent in a fixed position on the map, they shift with the pan
ux bug: when i zoom in, it zooms into the middle of the browser window instead of where my cursor is.
The risk is one of them buys it and pulls an Oracle / Java (Sun) stunt.

I felt this way until I worked at Essential, the now shut down phone maker.
One of the core company design principles was to have minimal branding. The phone design had no logo. When you show it to people they are looking for the identifier and it's completely missing. When you are in a market where most of the products look largely the same, branding is very important.
It's unfortunate, but absolutely necessary.
It doesn't make sense for every company to make their own Salesforce clone.
The key is that it makes new companies entering the market to compete with Salesforce immensely easier. More competition will just force lower overall margins in SAAS.
