Was it possible to build it for $60 when you built it though? As for the idle dray, a lot of PC's have Wake On Lan so you can power it on via a special IP packet. I could't get it to work on mine, so i pus an esp32 based power mon

Yep, everything is lacking. No version control, ladder diagrams instead of written code, goto statements as primary control flow in code. A $500 PLC with less processing power than a 1985 086 and 1 whole MB of memory. Upgradable with a $200

Nice, but not sure I agree with your use of voxels. It appears more like pixelated height map, not the use of 3d pixels. From what I see every position on the globe can only have a single elevation

Best would be to capture CO2, and then solidify the carbon to a compact stable stable state by taking away the oxygen. Then we have a highly concentrated pure carbon form that we can just bury underground. Or add some hydrogen and get this

Reminds of Digital Logic Sim by Sebastian Lague, which I really like as you start with just a NAND gate and go from there. https://sebastian.itch.io/digital-logic-sim

To me (EU) that seems like a pretty generous limit. A normal house connection here is limited to 8kW single phase or 17kW for a 3 phase connection. You can get more, but that is very uncommon and gets expensive quickly

I wonder if and how you can use this for steganography, hiding data in plain sight. I bet most automated image analysis programs would only consider the final image. I sure some highschooler can use this to bypass their schools contentfilte

I installed Claude Code on the Mac Studio, and gave it access over ssh to a Linux box. I instructed Claude to first compile on Linux, create reference artefacts, and only then start the work on mac. And then to make sure the Linux version s

I ported a decades-old piece of scientific software (Delft3D — Deltares' Fortran hydrodynamics engine) to run natively on Apple Silicon. From my phone, mostly, because I could (and because AI could). Runs pretty decently on a Mac Studi

Record the audio, transcribe it later. Your AI note taker will mangle some of the details in a subtle but wrong way. Or not, who knows? But if you have ever transcribed anything with whisper, it is both amazing how well it works, and how it

I run Nextcloud at home with 1.5TB of files and 2 users, on a reasonably sized server. It is painfully slow. Still better than OneDrive, but only just: synscing takes forever, never reaching a fraction of available bandwidth. Upload from my

You might want to add a filter to the colorings page. Under the "realistic" category, it is filled with images of Hitler: https://www.coloringsai.com/en/coloring-page/hitler-doing-a-...

The filament handling is part of the printer to me. You wouldn't want a car without a gas tank (just strap a jerrycan on the roof), or a table saw without dust collection. Ok, bad examples but to me the filament handling is part of the

But what does Prusa offer for dust and moisture free filament storage? Why doesn't Prusa copy the "enclosed filament storage on top of printer' solution that is so much better then spools dangling on the side? I don;t want to

Nice model, but also a great notebook. Really like this "literal coding" style for CAD in a notebook. I still sometimes prefer GUI cad for simple stuff, CadQuery is not always that easy to write. But when iterating over something

Ome advantage of python is that it is so slow that if you choose the wrong algorithm or data structure that soon gets obvious. And for complicated stuff this is exactly where I find the LLMs struggle. So I make a first version in Python, an

One thing with python is that usually I will use one of the many c based libraries to get reasonable speed and well thought out abstractions from the start. I architect around numpy, scipy, shapely, pandas/polars or whatever. So my cod

Some operations (downsizing already heavily compressed video with the latest and greatest compression techniques) are CPU or GPU bound, but others, like bunching thousands of high res jopg into a lightly compressed timelapse are more likely

The best thing about the average speed cameras is that between the checkpoints all cars drive at almost exactly the same speed. No one trying to overtake, just 5 lanes of traffic at 1km/h below the speed limit

I love these kind of stories, and I appreciate the effort to write these histories down. I do think the interview could use a bit more editing, it now reads more like a literal transcript and that is somewhat exhausting to read. Take this e
