Plus at least one motor plus sun tracking controller. All of that has to operate 24/7, all year. Depending on your local climate, that has to be sun and rain proof. (Most Nema 7 "3D printer" motors are not waterproof... Ask m

I've been playing Go with my spouses brother for a while. He had a lot of free time to studyGo back then, I didn't. I couldn't get a single win out of him, still I enjoyed every single game. We rarely play anymore, I should i

Am I the only one who apparently can't count the dots in 24: Eye Exam? I know about the optical illusion, but no idea how to count them.

Second this, if you have the time to assemble everything that is. On the plus side your Voron won't become obsolete as you can just upgrade it to the next version. I just upgraded my Voron 2.1 to have direct drive. Having build everyth

I wonder if the author could now go one step further and wrote some code to interface the take drive with an ESP32, thereby removing the floppy drive from the equation and going straight to USB.

Thanks for the invite :-) Had been decades since I've been to Paris. But with a life and kid, I guess coming back isn't too high on the priority list ;-)

YouTube's automatic title translation (English to German in my case) is surprisingly bad. I often stumble over translations that are technically correct, but plain wrong in the context of the video. (Just tried to find some examples, b

Thaaaat makes a lot of sense. The unibrow with the illuminated VW logo is pretty ugly ;-)

But how are you going to brag about your car when it is the same with or without subscription? I saw that current VW models feature very prominent (and IMO ugly, unibrow style) LED strips. Does the car light up in a different color if you p

Yeah, that's pretty low. Even Denmark, right north of Germany, is paying 1/4 of what we pay.

Have you played around with the current vision features? I am pretty sure even gpt-4.1 can give you pretty good descriptions of e.g. screen captures, including being able to "read" and reproduce text.

Tangent, but it's always crazy to hear what other countries pay per kWh compared to the 0.4€/kWh in Germany.

Are you getting good results with this? Some time ago I build an "overworld simulator" by having a bunch if jsons that represented villages, characters, building, story hooks and plots. I just asked ChatGPT to "simulate the g

I heard about a similar but different method: Put some cloth in a bucket, fill it with water and wait. Once in a week, remove the cloth. This removes all eggs and larvae. Apparently this is quite effective as mosquito "pheromones"

The rear brake rotors on my Yaris hybrid are basically always rusty because they get used so little. After some time you just know when to start braking so you only use regen instead of the brakes.

I mean... That's definitely a "why not both" situation. 1. make the (compressed) Wikipedia searchable better as a knowledge base 2. use the LLM as a "interface" to that knowledge base I investigated 1. back when all

I perceive a huge divide between people that (try to) use dialog systems (e.g. ChatGPT, CoPilot) for programming and people that use (and pay for) dedicated programming agents (Cursor, Clint, etc). From my experience using both, only the la

Point in case: i've been trying for weeks now to generate a CFD solver that is more than the basic FDM "toy example". The models clearly know the equations, but run into the same issues I had when implementing it myself (name

That's surprisingly controllable for what looks like about twice the width of the boat. I basically never lifted the finger of the throttle and still came in at about 60% health on my first try.

Somewhat relevant anecdote: we had a small CUDA competition (10-ish years ago). Some embrassingly parallel CV algorithm. I tried to be smart and cache intermediate results that were shared by multiple kernels. When the results were publishe

To be fair, that's probably still "good enough" these days. "Abel Davidson Carpenter of Helsinki born in the year 2020" is probably good enough an identifier. Obviously has some issues, but it's interesting to

How does "model, make and serial number" translate to humans? (No racist intentions here, but you bring up both points and I thought that to be interesting)

Honestly, I think you probably just haven't been hit with the "right" kind of shorts. For me it was a quick way down from "these are annoying" to "oh, just another short that aligns with my interests".

I wonder if the alternative to wood is just... wood. Anecdotal, but I've been to Finnland last year and I couldn't help but see a correlation between (a) big swaths of land are covered in trees and (b) a lot of housing is build wi
