    Am in Canada where postal codes are somewhat street name-dependent even when that doesn't strictly make sense. Through a quirk of history, my corner house's address is on the other…

    Haven't tried with Sol but Opus's ability to reverse engineer both Linux and naked microcontroller firmware has blown me away. I'm basically at the point where embedded devices doi…

    And if the success rate is 1/10 but the cost is 1/100… that’s still a win as far as the war chest is concerned.

    Awesome! I’ll have to try it again. Last time I tried was on some Wanhao i3 clone like a decade ago and it was not great, but the printer itself was not great all around other than…

    That’s exactly it… if you tolerance the mouth reasonably tight, the centre pin doesn’t actually carry much, if any, of the load. Friction in the mouth carries a bunch of it, especi…

    I agree that it looks fragile, but my experience with a similar kind of design in practice has shown that it’s not actually as big of an issue as it seems it would be. A few other …

    I think you’re actually asking good questions! > scalable business beyond being yet another Oshkosh OSH Park is fabulous for what they do, but they don’t do PCBA. I’m not OP, but I…

    I love to see new players in this space! We’ve done a ton of PCBA through Macrofab. My relationship with them goes back far enough to have been a beta customer and I’ve chatted on …

    I, personally, would take the opportunity to have an undisturbed nap. The thought of having no notifications and a great excuse for why I wasn’t answering sounds lovely today.

    You didn’t link to it but I looked back at my very few submissions and realized that I had posted it in 2019. I thought it sounded familiar!

    Right, makes perfect sense. So this is pretty far outside of my area of expertise, but https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8133363/ suggests that there may be an evolution of …

    I don’t know the exact process but I don’t think ammonium nitrate actually gets involved. The system I was looking at (Green Lightning) actually doesn’t make ammonia but rather liq…

    From doing a bit of digging into this myself after hearing it being promoted on the radio, I both agree and disagree. Working through the $/acre for on-site produced ammonia using …

    Yeah, in a small way I agree with the post, but agree with you as well. For me: human authorship is a pretty solid gate, because the vast majority of people are not doing the work …

    One of the funniest things for me while exploring hosting and running local models: I discovered the abliterated models and pulled down a Qwen 3.6 version (my memory is a little va…

    I think they're saying the answer is: Price. Over here in AgTech land, we focus hard on fully-loaded dollars/acre. For kitchen staff, the metric's probably going to be dollars/hamb…

    Qwen 3.6-27B (dense) from the same HF user works pretty good too. Haven't done a side-by-side on the 3.5 MoE model vs the 3.6 Dense though.

    Well… only half of your premise is actually verifiable. We know that no one wrote it up, but we don’t know that no one did. What I can say… even the smaller (like 35B) “abliterated…

    I’m guessing it’s because the detector is then working with power, not amplitude. The whole 10 log vs 20 log thing with dB.

    Interesting thing I noticed was the word “magine” without the I at the start. Which felt quite human but… dunno

    Yup, they're definitely cousins. The only reason I didn't mention OSC is because you're not going to have the same ecosystem of existing open-source and commercial lighting control…

    Oh! TIL! Thanks for sharing that, I don't do web stuff much these days but will keep it in mind next time I do.

    Do you know what causes this? I'm really curious!
