I do, I have a fine whetstone. I agree, properly sharp/shaped screwdrivers make a huge difference. I think I need a better roller sharpening guide, and lots more stuff. :)

Not relaxing to me, like the YouTube videos. It is difficult and frustrating. It is very easy to wreck things like brass threads. Often lots of things are seized up on anything more than a few years old. Fun all the same.

What surprises me about the Italian coffee machines is you can buy many of the parts at a local hardware store. They look home made. The Chinese ones seem to be 100% custom parts, maybe to account for price at scale.

The n100 will have a cooling solution so you can run it full speed forever. (As I do with both my N100s). edit: both mine have NVME disk connectors. I just swapped a crappy M2 SATA for a second hand NVME and it's about 2X the speed.

It is not hugely different today when you have an error in a template. I had a one line error using a boost multi index container. It produced 1300 lines of errors. You do kind of get used to it.

yes, I stand corrected. It then seems to make less sense he says he is ignoring the inductance when considering the capacitance.

No argument from me. LLMs would be a component of AI, much like we kind of have long term read only memory. But the extra bits could in the form of some dynamic functions on each tensor network node (G* functions LOL!) It's interesting

That's about it. Although, instead of using Selinium, you could work out the XML that the GUI runs from and `POSTS`, then make scripts pretend to be the GUI. Then maybe going into the internal postgres database that runs it to get the

Correct me if I am wrong, but, if impedance is the ratio of capacitance to inductance, so 50ohm coax, Z = sqrt(L/C), then C/L = 1/50^2 so the inductance is 2500 times less. For a short length, he may be choosing to ignore th
