> I think its fascinating just how much of a gap there is between what's being claimed, and the verifiable observable data of the open source world. According to this list of top G…

This feels a lot like what I've been wanting for sketching hardware ideas. Gonna spend some time with this. Nice work!

This is really clever and is taking a direction I hope to see more software taking! Totally self contained is awesome. Well done!

Try FreeCAD one more time , if you haven't tried 1.0+, and it might stick. I've finally, in the past 6 months moved all my work to FreeCAD and KiCad after trying both many times ov…

Thank you! The README in the repo was a real joy to read.

What plant software is being shown in the animation at the top of the page? I've been hunting for something to simulate plant growth and that looks interesting!

This looks cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on the GPU acceleration. I'm a maintainer for openpnp-capture and I've always had the thought of hardware acceleration i…

Seconding ILDA. It's been the standard for decades and it is well documented and easy to interface with either at the software/library level, or even at the signal level. [1] You c…

I am working on exactly this in a music player I am writing. Specifically, you can use any S3 compatible storage to sync your music and metadata between devices, and it's end-to-en…

I made a clock based on an IV-18 vacuum florescent display tube. In the process I learned CAD, CNC, aluminum anodizing, metal turning, SMT soldering, laser cutting, box making, pow…

When you "buy" a Kindle book, for instance, you click "Buy It Now" not "Rent It Now". The implication is that you are buying it to own, not renting it. Not a good comparison to ren…

"You based your resume tips on a sexual grooming chart?" "As a joke!" "I'm gonna go work somewhere else..." I know cultures are different in different places, but in corporate Amer…

Just FYI what you’ve described is exactly what the GPs video shows. I only mention it cause that knob and video are absolutely amazing and deserves a watch.

I wonder what an LLM would say if it had, say, 2 orders of magnitude more parameters and 46 years of training like I do. And if it was trained up to the millisecond with new inputs…

Wow, I've been looking for something like this for years! Thanks for posting. I fired it up on an M1 Mac (Rosetta 2) and it runs quite nicely. Watching through the screencast now, …

I don't think this is true. I see "Boosted" posts in my feed from people I don't follow. Maybe this is a server specific feature? I am using Hachyderm.io.

Ditto - worth every penny!

TL;DR: Zwave and Zigbee are (almost) always local first. Home Assistant is great. Almost all CO2 sensors are bad. I have the same goals with my setup, and I've been tinkering with …

I'd love to see an answer to this, too. Just to learn a little bit more about the field!

> One other detail to note is that we built our software architecture in such a way that we can stop traffic to our PostgreSQL databases, queue the transactions, and run a PostgreS…

I agree completely. I am completely willing to spend real money on an iOS app that is as intuitive and powerful as a TI-89 but it just doesn’t seem to exist.

The author is referring to writing a UI library, not writing an application or UI using an existing UI library.

Are you saying you would hit the physical switch and it wouldn't activate? I don't think I've ever experienced that. Early on, I would have command failures when the dimmers were p…

I use Insteon dimmers and switches in my house. These replace the wall switch but look basically like a normal wall switch. They use a combination of power line networking and RF m…

That's such a strange coincidence! Do you still use it?
