That's what people seem to want to believe, for sure. For myself I don't see really credible evidence of emergent behavior from current AIs. Certainly not on the same complexity levels that we'd expect from humans, or even bumblebees. Seriously, you can't model bee dances with current AI...

You really are surrendering to the hype machine there. You ought to keep in mind that the loudest advocates for this future are also trying to jack their share price and make a lot of money. Seriously, we are taking just the first baby steps here. And given the current directions baby is...

I think given all of the quality problems with e-bike batteries and the ugly history there that is a reasonable thing to tear down. I personally would like to see side-by-side teardowns between quality e-bikes and cheap Chinese deathtraps. In particular I'd like to see disassembly of the...

Unless you are just trying to make it complicated, it is hard to see how normal mountain biking expertise does not translate to riding an e-mtb well. Bluntly I am skeptical that any of the subtleties wouldn't be quickly picked up by a good mountain biker, probably in the first half hour of...

You just described nearly all E-MTBs. Just because he ain't on some Strava leaderboard doesn't mean he doesn't ride.

Local bike shop. I'd really strongly recommend getting referred to a health care professional (physical therapist, probably) who knows about bikes and cycling. They can give you the best advice. The fact that your chiropractor thinks it is okay for you to ride a bike is good, but to get into...

What you need to do is not ask questions on forums. Find a physical therapist who knows about bikes and can help you get set up with something that will work for you. If you live somewhere with a decent LBS I'd start there because chances are someone who works there will have seen a physical...

That hubless e-bike is even worse when you tear it down:

If you make it too difficult to distinguish between different types of e-bikes the response might well be to ban all e-bikes.

Those chains and that freewheel will probably last forever on that bike. Keep in mind that the Buffalo is designed to be ridden fairly short distances at slow speeds. You'd be cruising right along at 12km/hour on those.

A 525lb black bear in California is almost certainly garbage-fed and habituated to humans. And therefore very dangerous. Truly wild bears are nowhere near the most dangerous animal you might encounter.

I'd qualify that because it isn't exactly that simple. The hypothetical roadie who can hit 20+ mph on their bike on an MUP is riding a bike that has probably a third the weight, a rider who also weighs substantially less, and on the average is riding a bike with better brakes than the typical...

Just saying:

You would think that someone would have a chainsaw...

Except that didn't happen. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5444731.pdf

Actually it is more like they are banning class 3 e-bikes from bike lanes and sidewalks.

Trump promised to reduce grocery prices, including the price of eggs. Now the cult members start gaslighting us about how it is okay that they were deceived. Trump also promised no more wars. Except apparently now with Canada, Denmark, Mexico, and Panama.

There isn't actually a federal law against insurrection. But the multiple courts found that the Jan 6th riot fit the definition of an insurrection. So you consider threatening military action against a peaceful country a negotiating tactic? How does that work? If your neighbor wanted your...

Are you saying those things did not happen? Gaslighting people is never respectful.

I'm thinking more Mao's Cultural Revolution. Either way not a Good Thing.
