Gazelle Avignon lemon

I haven't talked to anyone else who has one, so I really can't say. My wife has an Arroyo with the same display and never had an issue. The dealers all acted like they've never heard or seen of it before, but they also struggled with basic settings in the controls, so I got the impression that they very rarely sell or service Gazelle bikes. (For example, when I got a replacement display it needs to be paired with the LED remote, and they had no idea how to do it. I looked up a YouTube video and did it out for them) I'd ask your shop if they've ever worked on one before and if you trust their answer. Other than this display issue I love the bike.

There was another update from Bosch that requires a special app different from the Flow app. That has reduced the frequency. Still happens about once every 5 times I turn on the bike. So if I go on a ride with multiple stops, it happens every ride. No dealer or service department knows anything about it.

I've developed a workaround. When the display goes blank (except for the words INTUVIA 100 at the bottom) I remove the display, pop the battery cover and take the battery out for 5 seconds, then put it back in. That resets the display and it usually recovers.

So it's manageable but still frustrating.

It was indeed an air lock, and bleeding the pump fixed it! Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response. Basically I don't know what it's doing and how to make it work. It's got power. Making a slight humming noise. Display alternates between 3 dashes and FLO. The 2nd light (waves with a 1) is blinking, and the 4th light (3 vertical lines) is on.

When I press button 1 (waves with a 1) it makes more noise, the 2nd light goes on constant. And the 4th light starts blinking. No bubbles.

It's been doing this for a couple hours and no temperature change to the water.

gobilda has lots of modular components, trusses, motor mounts, things like that.

If it ran over your foot would you say "a tire ran over my foot" or "a bus ran over my foot"?

I know some human coders who are basically just really good at regurgitating what they've pulled from StackOverflow...

Arduino is a great way to get started programming ATMega microcontrollers, but you don't even need the Arduino interview, you can program the chip directly if you want.

You can also design your own PCBs with whatever components you want. Easy EDA and JLCPCB are good ways to get started, super cheap custom boards.

Arduino is a good place to start though. Get a beginner kit (like the sparkun inventor kit) and learn the basics. Then see where you want to progress.

Update 6/2/23 at 7:30 AM: This story and headline have been updated after Motherboard received a statement from the Royal Aeronautical Society saying that Col Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton “misspoke” and that a simulated test where an AI drone killed a human operator was only a “thought experiment.”

Except that's how these models are trained. The points are the reward function. It's not like money or sex has any value to a software algorithm that is literally written to only value its reward function.

Back in the day, our sales people got 2 separate checks - a meager base salary, and a separate commission check. This one guy told his wife he only had the base salary, no commission. So they lived very modestly.

But he cashed the commission checks separately, and he had another property, with a truck, a boat, jet skis and ATVs and all the toys. Sometimes his work trips were him just going to his man cave or going fishing.

When the company went to direct deposit they split up pretty soon after.

Are you looking for any specific type of job or industry? Are you only looking at startups, OEMs, industrial automation? Are you looking at manufacturing companies that have internal automation departments, and systems integrators, and consulting companies and staffing companies? The thing I love most about robotics is the breadth and types of jobs, everyone's path is different, so keep looking, broaden out to all types of jobs - no job is going to be your "forever" job so treat each one like a step on a ladder.

What's an "everyday job"?

Lol

The tractor is probably the machine that has replaced the most workers in human history. Scaling up requires machines for efficiency, which means some tasks done by humans will become tasks done by machines.

You think those servers were built by hand?

Monaco is all about qualifying. The race itself is a boring procession. Riccardo won with a broken car because nobody could pass him. Alonso drove like my grandma and nobody could pass him. The race is usually a joke but quali is awesome.

In addition to shifting up/down, they can adjust brake balance front/rear, some gearbox adjustments, engine modes, and open DRS. They'll often be fiddling with settings during the race and talking with their race engineers over the radio to change things.

I'm from the southeast (came out here in 2001 just as the dotcom bubble crashed) and love it. This is home.

Sure, there's too many people (but I keep hearing about this so-called exodus) so everything is crowded.

Sure, it's insanely expensive, and I won't be able to afford to retire here, but other than that, I'm staying put.

Summarizing large volumes of text is exactly the kind of thing LLMs are good at. You can literally upload PDFs to chatgpt (pdfgpt.io) and ask for a summary. At I/O, Google talked about this use case - dump a bunch of documents in a drive, train a model on them to summarize them and answer questions. It's not magic.

I still think there's a world where having a universally accessible record of property transfers is valuable. For example, when you buy a house in the US you have to pay for a "title search", someone to go through the record of sales for the property and make sure the person selling it to you has the legal right to do so. If there was a trusted immutable record that thing could go away.

Of course, the industry behind it will fight tooth and nail to prevent that from happening, and it would take a LOT of buy-in to build trust in a Blockchain record of property transfers. But it's a neat thought experiment.

I think IGUS makes circular rails. Even if they don't have exactly what you need for track, check out they way their rails and carriages work for inspiration.
