I use the official Blender MCP to drive Blender from Claude. Mostly creating specialized Geometry Nodes and Python utility scripts. I have made a couple of add on plug ins with it. And Claude, more or less by itself, came up wth a workflow

Here's a 3D printed "nano dome" project that works for the smaller S30. Might work on the S50, not sure. https://www.cloudynights.com/forums/topic/1000995-miniature-...

Gibson had a hell of a time getting the second book, _Agency_, out the door because the real world kept leap frogging him. I fear we may never get _The Jackpot_ because we'll get Jackpotted for real before he can finish it.

People that get to know each other very well, it can take a while or people can just "click", often have something I wouldn't be embarrassed to call telepathy. Talking and listening are a really still a big mystery. And thin

Here's what I asked it: "The idea of a cell that didn't reproduce at all occurred to me. Maybe created by a factory cell. It would be used to change an environment or produce some useful compound. I can imagine manufacturin

I've read than even a lot of high school biology questions can set off safety guardrails on Claude.

Interesting. I pasted the article URL into Claude Opus 4.8, along with some questions about uses for cells that couldn't reproduce and Claude thought about it for a while, and then got murdered by the guardrails. I was invited to edit

A boy is trapped in a cave that is filled with treasure. But it is dark. He can't see to find his way out. And even if he could see, can he get out? He finds a lamp. Is it really real? He rubs it with his hand and it begins to glow! T

If I had an actual need that wasn't being met, I might buy one of their printers just to root and run with custom firmware. I might just do it for the fun of it. Even with tariffs their printers are only running around $220 at Best B

I bought a Bambu Labs A1 Mini. It cost $199, on sale. I plugged it in and started printing excellent prints. Previously I bought an Ender printer for around the same amount. Never did get it to work. I'm not an engineer or a mechanic.

It's like someone crossed an 80s Silicon Graphics workstation with a Vic-20. I, Beldar, approve.

This person nails it. The part about Procreate is really spot on. If you draw on the iPad, and I do, Procreate just dissolves under your fingers and pencil. It's like working with paper and pencil. Almost. And it has Undo. Tactile f

Those are wonderful! It's really interesting to see Jansson's take on the characters and settings. When I read _The Hobbit_ in the early 1970s, there was already a well established tradition of how to portray Tolkien's world

I’ve seen very little cost cutting that matters in that $35 trillion dollar debt. But I’ve seen plenty of cutting social programs that will result in much misery. And trashing of long standing allies and economic partners. For fun go and lo

Getting knowledge from comedians is worse than having leaders who are reality tv hosts and failed casino owners? The leader in question is trashing the world economy, deporting people, without trial or due process, to concentration camps i

I understand that it's not for everyone, but for me the value of an iPad is easy to understand. I draw on it. Sketching and painting. I design 2D layouts on it. I sculpt on it. Lately I've been doing some 3D polygonal modeling on

Rig can mean a lot of things. Hand drawn animators often use a rig, it’s just the rig is made of graphite lines on paper driven by a meat based neural network. I'm not just being cute when I say that. The problems the AI in the example

I would suggest reading the Williams book as a place to start. Thomas and Johnson's _The Illusion of Life_ is also a must. Thomas and Johnson were two of Disney's 9 old men. The Preston Blair book, simply called _Animation_ is goo

As an animator for 40 plus years, I can tell you that in-betweening is a very difficult job. The fact that it's often cheaply outsourced is more of a factor that the people paying for the animation simply don't care about the qual

Come to think of it, cable surfing was also something that I remember.

The term Channel Surfing predates all this by at least a decade. I first heard the term in the early '80, about the time when cable systems starting becoming the norm. It's not too much a stretch to go from channel surfing to inte

"Authenticity in an Attention Economy" Is that anything like Authenticity in an Advertising Economy? I have to admit, I've never really understood (or used) Twitter/X. Short form posts lacking depth but very, very timely
