If you still want the experience, go and browse McMaster Carr. Wizards designed that website.

Any expat who has lived in Europe knows the pain of having to run to the train station on a Sunday because you ran out of some ingredient.

The simplest option is to print the part raised at an angle so the layer lines aren't parallel to faces. Clough42 has some good videos on support/rib design in Fusion: https://www.…

When I was younger, I used to think the Shard was daylight robbery. But 16 quid for a signature cocktail and a view (or 12 for a spirit + mixer) is no longer outrageously expensive…

I recently started playing around with my Palette 3 again (on a MK3.5S). It’s an amazing piece of engineering that has a reputation for being frustrating to use. It’s now discontin…

That one has a strange rendering error for me, the trees and horizon are in front of the mill building and the exterior isn't properly rendered unless you are in orbit mode. But my…

I don't know about useful , but the most visible one is copywriting. Even when there's a human involved, every startup/small org I know runs content through them. (And that include…

This is the sort of economics that small companies face when working with large companies, particularly when physical things/CAPEX are involved. Large companies expect net 30/60 te…

RTOS doesn't give any guarantees about "safe to compute/execute" - that's more the domain of formal verification. In the sense that you can make guarantees about how the program wi…

Really Useful Boxes are excellent. The best feature for me is that the lids are raised, so you have some room that's slightly higher than the rim of the crate. Sure, buy a bigger c…

I have a Supernote which I like primarily because it's repairable and the developers are very responsive. It's the A5 version. It's very nice to write on and if you haven't tried e…

I started buying Belkin TB5 cables which are around $50 a pop. They can easily power a laptop at full load and can stream video at any reasonable resolution/framerate I might need.…

https://www.itsquieterfilm.com/trailer is the official site.

This definitely happened to a paper that I submitted a couple of years ago. ChatGPT 4 was the frontier. The reviewer gave a positive, if bland, summary with some reasonable suggest…

This is true, and even with black tea where you'd normally want hotter, I don't think anyone really pays attention Thinking about it, we also had some "fancy" packet ramen from Mom…

> Do they not do soaked beans? Leave them in water for 2 days and they shouldn't need a full boil I wouldn't think? We'd definitely have kidney beans in chili and some other dishes…

The few times I've baked there, it's been a pretty good experience. There's a full height proving cabinet, yeast works really well at altitude, the ovens have steam injectors, ther…

No mention of Claude/ChatGPT's favourite new word genuine and friends? They also like using real and honest when giving advice. Far as I can tell this is a new-ish change. > Honest…

Have you tried writing that as a skill? Compaction is just a prompt with a convenient UI to keep you in the same tab. There's no reason you can't ask the model to do that yourself …

The same is also true within the Macbook line. The 14" Pro is smaller and nearly 2lbs lighter than the first 13" unibodies. I have my 2009 college laptop on a shelf as a memento an…

Baffin make some of the best cold weather boots. We use them in Antarctica, though you probably don't want the chonky -70C rated ones. I have some lighter boots rated for about -40…

My gut feeling is that performance is more heavily affected by harnesses which get updated frequently. This would explain why people feel that Claude is sometimes more stupid - tha…

Reference managers have existed for decades now and they work deterministically. I paid for one when writing my doctoral thesis because it would have been horrific to do by hand. A…

> I am vaguely aware of stuff like Gaussian blur on Photoshop. But I never really knew what it does. Blurring is a convolution or filter operation. You take a small patch of image …

> its not really about uptime for the homelab, its about graceful shutdown/restart. These are different requirements. The issue I described was not a power outage and having a well…
