I need to take another run at CADQuery and Build123. I’m frustrated with OpenSCAD’s unstable kernel, but it’s still the easiest way to get a basic parametric design going from code. I’m also keeping an eye on zoo (fka KittyCAD). It too has

Docling has worked well for me. It handles scenarios that crashed ChatGPT Pro. Only problem is it's super annoying to install. When I have a minute I might package it for homebrew.

Wonder how this compares to Docling. So far that's been the only tool that really unlocked PDFs for me. It's solid but really annoying to install. https://ds4sd.github.io/docling/

Kagi also has solid AI features. Their Quick Answer feature does an AI summary of your query results. By default it shows up automatically when it has high confidence. You can disable this in settings or force it to show up by adding "

That’s the problem with resilience - you have to pay for it. That premium looks like a terrible waste right up until it looks like an incredible bargain.

I think this is the crux of the matter. We lack a baseline cultural context. Turns out you miss it when it's gone.

Super cool. Love that you can zoom all the way in and suddenly it looks like a bookshelf. When I got down to the individual book level, I found several that didn’t have any metadata- not even a title. There are hyperlinks to look up the ISB

Maybe, but those smaller aircraft handle tons of flights in and out of DCA. Lots of commuter flights to NYC, Boston, etc.

On the ATC radio archive you can hear the tower asking aircraft if they have lights, can the circle over the east side of the field to help locate survivors

> multiple Chernobyl’s amount of damage every years from burning coal. Do you have a source for that? I'd be very interested in a study that quantifies the damage of coal plants in terms of famous nuclear disasters.

You are describing the Oura ring, at least for the passive tracking. It has great health tracking fidelity and battery life. It won’t do GPS, but other than that tracking is great.

Yes. People don't like being confronted with their shortcomings. Cultivate humility - you'll learn more.

At least this is boosting the profile of the X1 Plus firmware! Hope to see more energy behind opening these printers up.

Saw this mentioned on the big thread about Bambu Labs recent “security” update. The project hadn’t been submitted in several months, so I figured time to resubmit. Since the project was started, TeachingTech put the X1Plus devs in touch wit
