I feel two ways about it. I've written some algorithms and architectures for motion control that were good, after many years of chewing on the problem through iterations. I don't t…

Current Gemini Flash models can take video input. They're not hyper-specialized coders, but they're better than the competition on many tasks. They seem to be better with spacial r…

It's user-hostile enough to make users hostile toward your site, for sure. It's not annoying, it's enraging.

"switch" It's really popular among the youth.

Depends on the day. Mostly playing with the applications I'm developing to try and find gaps or rough edges, or reading over code and developing further AI tooling when I find disg…

Ah, well... I can't say that there's any real hope. I dove in in ~2023, and I'm about as deep in it as one can be. The better I get at it, and the better the agents get, the less t…

Make a copy of your codebase. Go to town on it. Have fun. Doesn't have to be stressful. Plan to throw away whatever happens. Do it in a VM if your nerves demand it. No reason it ca…

How fast is it?

Check out David Malawey's work: https://www.youtube.com/@davidmalawey He's teaching proper engineering with commodity parts and accessible technologies.

Django's admin is great. I think iommi is better for a lot of projects. With admin, you basically just write models, and the entire rest of your app is free. Not quite, but, not fa…

It lets you see the position of the motor's shaft. That's used in some motor control algorithms, even if the motor's position isn't exactly the joint's position.

Tabnine has an IDEA plugin. It's not quite as good as Cursor, in my opinion, but it's better to have Tabnine and IDEA than Cursor and VSCode. It started out as just predictive text…

Oh, cool. One of the most common glass batches (raw materials melted to make glass) used by artists is "Spruce Pine Batch".

Is it? I've found that I get better results if I cherry pick code to feed to Claude 3.5, instead of pasting whole files. I'm kind of isolated, though, so maybe I just don't know th…

It seems like you might be able to enable some optimizations with EXTRA_CLING_ARGS. Since it's based on cling, it's probably subject to whatever limitations cling has. To be honest…

Sure! I tried pybind11, and some other things. cppyy was the first I tried that didn't give me any trouble. I've been using it pretty heavily for about a year, and still no trouble…

Really? Cool. I expected that dropping down to C/C++ would be a large jump in difficulty and quantity of code, but I've found it isn't, and the dev experience isn't entirely worse,…

Fully agree on toxic chemicals. When you get a workflow down and need quantity, though, resin is cool. Since it exposes the whole bed at once, I can, for example, pull 24 small pri…

Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you try engineering resins, like Siraya Tech's "Build", "Sculpt", etc.? I make some small parts that I FDM print, then CNC mill for accuracy…

I'd add PyMadCAD, to those already mentioned.
