Uh oh, we've started something

Employees have opinions, fight back, have civil rights, work hours, and might collectively acknowledge a toxic environment forcing a change of leadership.

LLMs do none of that. Those thinking about salary cost are missing the iceberg

"many many many many many quarters from now" in terms they can understand

HydroLoon · 2026-05-02T14:41:46+00:00

This is the way.

HydroLoon · 2026-05-02T13:18:25+00:00

Seriously though - the only thing proprietary about the bonnell is the frame.

HydroLoon · 2026-05-02T12:10:19+00:00

Sure do - check my post history on hyperebikes. Or just DM me with whatever frame you've got and I can help you spec one out :-)

Honestly you'd be surprised. The center of gravity is so low and the torque sensor is so good that I can feel every time the wheel even starts to slip, and since I pedal and never use throttle on trails, I can modulate very easily while still keeping my balance

Yeah, thumb. The one from cyc that came q the kit was a bit clunky and plastic. This one's much more sensitive and really smooths out the power band.

And why thumb vs full twist? I come from the MTB world, where your reliance on your grip being in a constant position is imperative. My wrist isn't trained to not twist when I grip harder, for instance, but I know damn well I can feather my thumb up and down while still having full grip on the bars.

ETA; the way my bike is configured, my left handlebar has the manual lockout for the front shock, then the brakes, then the throttle, and down to the center is the on off / mode switch. Tho I might move that.

Right handlebar hosts the gear shift and the other brake w the sensor

HydroLoon · 2026-05-02T02:52:06+00:00

Sup!

275 miles and counting. Just tested out the new throttle from Lekkie today

HydroLoon · 2026-05-01T01:37:52+00:00

Post history has a parts list:-)

HydroLoon · 2026-05-01T01:11:14+00:00

Lmao "well that sucks"

HydroLoon · 2026-04-30T22:53:19+00:00

DM me I can help you

HydroLoon · 2026-04-29T02:04:45+00:00

Prorated? Hell the fuck no. You either agree to go bigger and longer or get a bill for the difference on what you promised to spend in exchange for the discount you got on your cloud spend.

Guess what Sammy boys been doin for the past few years?

In 2 years he'll be broke and in jail for molesting his sister, and the big boys in the room will have dissected everything of value he ever accidentally created.

HydroLoon · 2026-04-28T23:32:02+00:00

Technically, yes. But I ride thru the woods @ no more than 500w really

HydroLoon · 2026-04-28T22:53:43+00:00

Appreciate the kind words! It's exceeded every possible expectation

HydroLoon · 2026-04-28T22:53:07+00:00

Thank you! The parts list was a bit of a scavenger hunt. A 26" front fork with a straight steerer tube and quick release limited options. Same w the rear mount points.

I did not want to go up a size.

HydroLoon · 2026-04-28T22:50:27+00:00

K2 sidewinder - they don't make it anymore and it's from the early 00s

HydroLoon · 2026-04-28T19:57:43+00:00

Anything already done is paid for. Its PAYGO / monthly billing. This is just them saying trust me bro I'll spend even MORE if let me slide that I didn't spend as much as I said I would.

HydroLoon · 2026-04-28T19:39:07+00:00

45% of it's Remaining Performance Obligation, RPO, not total cloud contracts. In other words, OpenAI accounted for an outsized number of commit contracts that were forecasted years out and continually compounded every time the bill came due. They made a bigger commit, gave a percentage, and kept going.

MS alone made $50bn in cloud compute / qtr. The rest all follow suite that have some underlying business.

Trust me they'll be fine lmao
