It takes just a few seconds to see that it's a random backbencher who is not in the government. We have a whole range of MPs, and some of them sometimes talk about things they have no idea about. The website you're citing is littl

It's pretty easy to get some hard data, it's an open source project. I went to https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3A... and looked at the last few PRs: https://github.co

CF filled filaments aren't a scam, they just have different tradeoffs: more rigid, nice surface finish, and less warping (all useful qualities!), but also lower layer adhesion, lower tensile strength, and less toughness. It's not

There are different kinds of carbon fibres. It'd be great if it wasn't just Prusa disclosing which type they are using or offering studies on their impact, but in the meantime we can just use CF Prusament to be sure: https:/

That's largely a myth. This review [1] cites the absolute highest amount of emitted styrene in the studies they are reviewing to be 113 μg/min. Using [2] for simplicity with styrene's molar mass (104.15 g/mol), we get to

I'd encourage people doing engineering/functional parts to also try ASA and PC(-CF). Both are pretty easy to print on enclosed printer like Prusa Core One, and they offer unique qualities that are impossible to achieve with PLA or

Less creep, slightly better at absorbing shocks without breaking, better failure behaviour (PLA can suddenly shatter leaving sharp edges, PETG tends to deform elastically first).

Unfortunately, even annealed HT-PLA-GF still creeps quite a bit. I find this to be the main problem using PLA as an engineering filament. For many parts it doesn't matter, of course.

I wish we collectively had a better understanding of those ad tech shifts being fundamentally zero sum. If we treat marketing as a black box, where are the benefits from supposedly more efficient marketing? Ad budgets are the same. People h

Apologies, brain glitch: it's half, not third. Also, I'm talking about the effective tax rate, not the marginal tax rate. Here are the numbers: Median salary of a full time employee in the UK in 2023 (to match the German source):

The biggest problem is that the tax on a median taxpayer is not just "middling", it's a bit over a third of what a median German taxpayer is paying. The rest of the fiscal problems (convoluted tax rules, cliff edges to try

Equating surveillance flights off the coast with "operating in the country" is tenuous at best. If that's the threshold, Russian military is already operating in Britain (see Yantar's adventures). The mental effort a lot

Another, arguably even more powerful, alternative is Rhino + Grasshopper. Grasshopper is often used for generative designs, but can include arbitrary Python nodes and can even be used for "parametrically" designed functional parts

The original Roombas were also a joy to repair. I had one for a decade, and the only thing that eventually broke was the IR sensor at the top, which left the robot unable to park. I bought a replacement, opened the robot up, and it wasn&#x2

This is absolutely slop. Higher quality slop, but slop nonetheless. Ask yourself: what does it say? What does it change in you? How this makes you feel? Artists use their medium to communicate. More often than not, everything in a piece is

Indeed, I understand your reasoning, you talk about that in the podcast in the RFD. This is why I wasn't talking about the lack of feedback, but the lack of human interaction. While there is nothing constructive to be done about the di

Hey fellow failed applicant! I had a very similar experience, except I got the automated email after two months, not three — you sound like a stronger candidate, so maybe that's why I got rejected sooner, which'd be fair enough. S

As it happens, the commit I linked fixes a segfault, which shouldn't normally happen in memory-safe code.

I'm not sure about exquisite and small. Bun genuinely made me doubt my understanding of what good software engineering is. Just take a look at their code, here are a few examples: - this hand-rolled JS parser of 24k dense, memory-unsaf

I mostly agree, but it also depends on the size and the shape of the fillet. Large sweeping curves that stay close to horizontal for a long distance are bad, but a tight corner can still look better in G2/G3 than just G1. On the top at

It seems small in absolute terms, but it's suprisingly visible, even to "normal" people, which was the entire point of making a physical object! I gave that object to a dozen people without explanation. Only one of them was a

It's a lovely video! I linked it in the description, and I strongly recommend the other videos too.

Another alternative is Rhino+Grasshopper with direct g-code generation, which allows for some wild tricks, including full colour printing: https://www.instagram.com/medium_things/ You can read more here: https:/&
