Yea, anyone who understands what makes products actually usable is opting to get paid for said skill.

I think there are two types of this, only have experience with 1 so far. Within a single season, absolutely. In deep winter entering water temp (EWT) is around 30degF (this is a pr…

COP of 5 when running in perfect conditions (load, EWT temps, variable stage compressor, infinite heat sink/source). You might want to research how realistic constant COP of 5 real…

I don't think system ever met demand when commissioned (we are 3rd owners). 1st owner largely neglected the system (which I interpret as reaction to it not working well), 2nd owner…

Ground source heat pump owner here in the US. The original system was installed in 2007, and the loop field was designed to "best knowledge at the time". Well in the 20 years since…

Those are all things I've spend some time in, I'm not sure what to say. Learning curves for each one of those things are pretty dang steep. With AI you can probably speed up learni…

Expert here. When very precision molds are made, what Noctua talks about in "multiple tuning iterations are required until the geometry, cooling, gating, and moulding parameters ar…

Good eye! Almost like an inverted golf ball. If I remember correctly from undergrad aero, purpose of dimples on golf ball is to detach/disrupt more of any laminar flow earlier as a…

Agreed. Same or greater injection molding challenges for bottle caps, small plastic containers, things that also are in the hundreds of millions of parts annually. More challenging…

In my experience with Gemini, I find it incapable of not hallucinating.

I'm using Widex Allure. I only need to use one ear for now, and the low latency from the Widex was what won it, tried a couple Oticons that had a disorienting amount of lag. Also t…

Just imagine all the gigawatts cooked to just serve ads via LLMs

Printable PC/Nylon/ABS are not the same as the injection molded equivalents, you may want to research this more if that is an issue. I've printed every material under the sun tryin…

I've found ChatGPT and Claude to be extremely helpful as guides for this sort of stuff. As long as the software has decent/good documentation for the features you are trying to cre…

So exactly what language/paradigm is this brain modeling the problem within?

Author could spend a lot more time learning how to use Autodesk Inventor sketch environment. You can setup sketch dimensions as ‘driven’ and use equations to comply to whatever ext…

Are there places that follow the research that speak to the layperson?

That can be disabled [0] (and I feel like has been on option for many years now). [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go4x9sIGEg8

99% (or more?) of human written work is filler/fluff. LLMs seem to doing a great job of reducing this by actually getting to the point. There is still a limit at which “points” can…

Yup, ok with all of those.

The engine in XB-1 test plane is not the same that’s going in the production plane.

Autodesk deserves to be poster child for enshitification. A few weeks ago I found a video that allowed me to work around a bug in Inventor 2025 that has existed for 20 years… the v…

Or are they coated with wax/parafin?
