And those motors plus their maintenance, aren't they adding significant setup costs and, well, maintenance? We don't create energy out of a vacuum and all this doesn't seem to be discussed there.

I'm not sure why you say "price tag is low". It's not low at all, and it's totally avoidable at the cost of a few thousands shots. In the age of medical system underfunding (or in any case, affected by cuts) the hea

If we're talking anecdotes, my wife changes her iPhone every 4 years because it gets worse and worse. Daughter does the same. I change my Galaxy every 4 years because it gets worse and worse as well. Not sure how some people can say th

The question is, will the vibe coder care at all about those bugs? Will the company using vibe coded apps care about those bugs? Or they will just add another requirement to the prompt and churn out the next version? Yes, they will never ha

"which events he felt could not be described naturally" - let's rephrase this, events which he couldn't explain to the best of his knowledge. I know, I ripped off the entire aura of the situation, but if we claim to be s

I could imagine (not necessarily feasible!) the pedals only moving a dynamo with variable resistance to mimic real world pedaling, and the hub drive doing the drive according to the pedaling speed? Would that be a scooter or a e-bike, accor

Not all e-bikes have a rear suspension, so the motor will feel the bumps either way pretty much the same, I would guess. Or being placed in the middle halves somewhat the shocks?

by soco 1y ago
But what if the pedals are connected to the wheel only in a "symbolic" way, say, some electrical contact or something? So technically you still have to pedal to qualify as e-bike, just without real mechanical transmission? And if

Bear with me I don't know much about bikes but I have this honest question: why does it need a chain, and won't place the engine (or whatever gear box it has) directly on the wheel?

But what AR can you do with them? I mean, what AR content can you get nowadays? Labeling the stuff around you? Pedestrian or bike navigation (not full screen display but hints)? Tourist information? Any of this integrates with a sibling app

Just addressing the comparison: a t-shirt can be changed for the cost of the new t-shirt. A software product costs not only the new one (being AI, very cheap) but also the cost of integrating it with processes and people - and this can kill

In this situation, where you know zero about the product, one would have to be out of their minds to sign up. Not saying some people won't click it, but see previous phrase. Maybe we are simply not the (gullible enough) target user bas

They were already irritated, right. Also keeping around a file which you said yourself it was not useful, makes still no sense - especially when you regularly delete the useful files by policy. So yes, the failure was by design.

I'm surprised to hear this, as I am in the same boat as the other poster. Of course it makes sense, they wouldn't build that junk if there weren't junk consumers on the market. But I still can't grasp the concept of &quo

Lately they also shrunk the image preview, now it's like 60% of the phone screen estate - good look hunting for details while editing. I don't think, change my mind, that they care about real users feedback.

One could argue though, that the idea of abusing human brains weaknesses like "engagement" is the problem here, and a ranking algorithm is just the implementation du jour of the basic evil concept.
