>(definitely the most pompous and self-important part of this post) What compels you to say this? Would you be more satisfied if he'd suggested the reader acquaint themselves with Thomas Aquinas or Augustine of Hippo? Are you fami

The movements from your first URL are actually from a 100-year old book, and its chapter on mechanical terminology (which has been oddly stripped for the web page) might be a good start: https://www.thalia.at/shop/home&

>Aesthetics follows function in this case. Not sure I agree with you here. The very same functionality can be attained with far less plastic.

Probably the most effective technique for detection would be attained by spoofing the GPS signals, like the IRGC did to capture multiple US' drones? https://www.gpsworld.com/gps-circle-spoofing-discovered-in-i... I won

I've done this multiple times with great success, resulting in OpenSCAD projects that I feel comfortable maintaining, but would not have created without LLM assistance, and it has definitely been productive for me to start an OpenSCAD

I sit here wondering how Ryan Williams' treatise on Simulating Time in Square-Root Space could be applied to this problem [0]. I guess, to apply it effectively, one would need to express the packing algorithm as a tree-structured comp

The OP VTOL drone is aesthetically pleasing, I feel, but is over-engineered for a task such as mapping long distances. For your needs, a slow-stick with a KFM wing would suffice - the smallest, lightest, simplest , most capable airframe o

As someone who avoids javascript and its attendant ecosystem like its the Visual Basic plague of the 21st Century, the most interesting aspect of this whole story is the fact that Koçulu disconnected from the tech scene for some time, did s

In the 80's we used to get our software from 'floppy disk warehouses' ("Softbank") that often featured "$1 / floppy" specials, well worth the hassle. I had a lot of fun by just picking up 20 random fl

Whether you are in the UK or the USA, your freedoms are being degraded even outside the media-consumption sphere. Until GCHQ and NSA are properly reigned in, nobody is getting their human rights back. With the base expectations for the abro

Oh wow, those are amazing. I really have to add one to my collection .. but probably, I'd have a better time buying a plane ticket to Tokyo and going shopping for one, locally. ;)

I've noticed you can also get Grok to tell you about comments on threads from people who have blocked you. Seems like AI is introducing all kinds of strange edge cases that have to be accommodated in modern permissions systems ..

One of the great things about Cambridge, besides its bookstores and libraries, are all the green spaces. Every time I visit (for synth-diy, mostly) .. I take a few hours and stroll along the cam, and through the city, and just .. enjoy the

The folks at artificial museum [1] would probably provide a good model for how to do this - I could imagine running around in their dataspace, planting seeds which grow over time. [1] https://artificialmuseum.com/

No, you've got this entirely backwards. The USA and its allies have murdered more innocent people this century than any other nation, by a long, long margin. How easily Americans forget that they massacred 5% of Iraqs population in co

The USA of course. Who else is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and insane human rights abuses at the same scale, this century? No other nation has given itself carte blanche to mass murder as fervently as the USA and its mi

Germany is a modern-day contributor to the mass violations of human rights, war crimes, and human rights abuses of the Western hemisphere, as a lackey state of the USA.

You should make the NSA not function anywhere but within the US too, while you're at it.
