How is "not understanding things" preventing an LLM from bringing up a point you hadn't thought of before?

There’s a certain irony in people reacting in an extremely predictable way - spewing hate and criticism the moment someone mentions AI - while seemingly not realizing that they’re reflexively responding to a prompt without any real thought, just like an LLM.

A tool isn’t bad just because it doesn’t do what you thought it would do. You just take that into account and adjust how you use it. Hammer isn't a scam just because it can't drive in screws.

Anyone who has an immediate kneejerk reaction the moment someone mentions AI is no better than the people they’re criticizing. Horseshoe theory applies here too - the most vocal AI haters are just as out of touch as the people who treat everything an LLM says as gospel.

Yeah, in the motor settings - where it's defined as using an external sensor - there’s also a setting called “Speed meter signal,” which I changed from 1 to 2. I’m about 85% sure that refers to the number of magnet passes per wheel revolution.

It's not a motorbike though, that's the point. The article talks about 250 watt 25kph/15mph pedelec. The misleading title just wants you to assume the opposite.

Here's the part that covers it.

I solved the issue by adding a second wheel magnet for the speed sensor. Not sure if the issues you're having are related to mine but it's easy and cheap thing to try. You might need to inform the motor controller about the second magnet as well though or it'll think you're going twice as fast.

I figured it out!

I was suspecting that the previous owner may have messed with the motor settings with the Eggrider app so I was looking for the default values online so that I could put it back to factory values. By pure chance someone made a sidenote where they described my exact symptoms and then later followed up with a solution: add a second wheel magnet. Apparently on low speeds the time between pulses gets too long which confuses the motor controller and cuts out the power. That's why this wasn't happening on high speeds at all. Still doesn't explain how my other almost identical bike gets by with just one though.

In case you're curious about what would be the last remaining structures left on earth after everything else has been ground to dust:

I too think that the people who like things that I don't are stupid.

I use ChatGPT every single day, and I find it both extremely useful and entertaining.

I mainly use it to help edit longer messages, bounce ideas around, and share random thoughts I know my friends wouldn’t be interested in. Honestly, it also has pretty much replaced Google for me.

I basically think of it as a friend who’s really knowledgeable across a wide range of topics, excellent at writing, and far more civil than most people I run into online - but who’s also a bit delusional at times and occasionally talks out of their ass, which is why I can’t ever fully trust it. That said, it’s still a great first stop when I’m trying to solve a problem.
