About knicholes

I work at Adobe as a software engineering manager. I love StarCraft II and AI. When Deepmind combined the two, it blew my mind.

My current projects are a smart toilet paper roll holder that tells you how much TP you've got left and a breast augmentation outcomes visualization AI. More recently, I've built GopherGeyser, an at-home splash pad and animal-themed app. https://gophergeyser.com/

    How long have you been working in tech?

    I didn't say kill. Not sure if I believe we should go all Hunger Games on them. Prison works just fine for me when they commit crimes sufficiently egregious.

    Sounds simple to me. Remove them from society.

    Whoah, could this mean we can treat layers like a jpg, where we come up with a formula that estimates the weight values of a layer instead of storing all of the weights?

    We're getting new models every three months. They'd have to work quickly to get those chips made and installed.

    I'll update it this weekend with the updated AI-generated fun (and correct the flat-out ai-generated lies in the README). Meanwhile, you can see the project here. https://github.co…

    Ohhhhhh! Yes, that's exactly the problem. It all makes sense now. I was just piecing together an existing microcontroller and a mp3 module by printing a custom circuit board.

    I'll acknowledge that I don't know what I'm talking about. I really appreciated the clarity! Surely you find value in knowing that creating your own custom chips is almost doable b…

    Right. KiCAD for PCB design. Blender for 3D CAD. Oh, are you saying I should have used something other than the KiCAD MCP server for better results?

    I tried making a button using Claude entirely (including the 3D printed enclosure) and it effed up pretty hard with the traces and the header spacing. The project was a big red arc…

    I just don't see how you could have read the title (and comments) and not figured out that PwC was Papers With Code as a human, especially as it's mentioned in the comment with tha…

    Are you a bot? Look in the title. Papers with code.

    Everyone is criticizing the number of lines of code and the lack of attention that must certainly have been applied to generate that code and push it into production. What is being…

    He didn't consider the possibility of renting it out during the downtime to Vast.ai to make some money back.

    Oh yeah, I bought a few different types of ear plugs to test them out. The silicone putty and the loops left my ears sweaty. I'd pull them out at night to dry them out. Tmi, I know…

    My suspicion from regular use of ear plugs is that the wax sticks to the plug every night. I use a new set every night. Pretty wasteful, but man, I need my sleep.

    At work, I've found a strong moral resistance within my colleagues against anything involving Elon Musk and which data he allows to be used to train his models. Look at the comment…

    After discovering Dell Alienware clearance and graphics card availability in those Alienware computers, I haven't felt the need to build a computer for the last five years.

    Yikes, what a flippant comment. The mix composition (meta's AI is helping with this) is separate from the wet concrete product. The parent is suggesting a way to test that the mix …

    Honestly some of the most fun I had playing Ultima Online was writing scripts to play it for me.
