Right The History of Humanity

Listen to Tad, read his book, follow his advice. The rat bastards are never punished by history, they all write the framework they're remembered by. Look at how the US rightwing nod to the Nazi playbook. Look at how ICE are "embracing their purpose."

Removing Ollama From My Mac

The AI experiment in my "laboratory" is over. I've been running Ollama locally on my laptop, as in:- an 8G, local, offline language model, running on local, offline command line software. Don't get me started about the carbon pollution environmental disaster being created by serverside queries to AI like, "Does my partner really love me." The local-only model seemed like an affordable and accountable approach and my M1 Mac is energy efficient fast enough that even really tricky queries were sorted way under 2 minutes. The thing is, I never got a single, useful response to a query. Not one, that was fit for purpose, anyway, out of Ollama's "mouth." I figured that between my ability to describe a problem, and its probable solution, architecturally and simply, might result in useful code fragments for my various microcontroller coding and OpenSCAD design tasks. Not one. The work required to make anything useful was at least as much as designing i...

500km On My New Greenspeed GT20

Image
I've clocked a little more than 500 clicks on the new trike, actually and, while I still feel like the mid-drive doesn't help as much as my hub motor helped on the tourer, it is certainly more battery efficient and is still a measurable boost over riding unassisted. I still feel I need the seat a tad more reclined but, where the battery is mounted, under the seat, this restricts using the seat's full reclining range. I could go one more of the 6 remaining notches on the seat recline, but a bad bump might flex the seat into the battery and I actually feel like I need 2 lower more of the 6 available notches to prevent slipping forwards on the seat, especially downhill. That position isn't possible at all where the battery is. So I need to consider moving the battery onto the top of the pannier rack. A portraight of the writer 3 months ago, on test ride day. Having the battery bracket outboard-left of the frame and below the seat also puts it in the line of puddle splash...

I'm a sucker for shiny metal. Polished aluminium, stylishly painted steel, a leather saddle, spoked wheels - just love it! So this BBC 4 "doco" ("reality tv"?), wherein Rob Penn, the global cycle tourist and media personality, had me at the first mention of a "dream bicycle." BBC 4's "Ride of My Life." (Not sure why Youtube has given Portland's "tits out" artist the thumbnail... Apart from the fact that Rob was, when this was made, clearly better paid than I was working for Australia's national broadcaster, he places just a little too much emphasis on the machine rather than what makes a great ride, great people with you and great locations. Thankfully, we meet some people in his quest for parts for his custom built bicycle, that are people I'd happily ride with, not least, Rob himself! He's a velo-obsessed tragic to make me look "normal." It's not a new show, it's from Boris Johnson's er...
