That would be pretty cool. Especially if they nail scoping tightly. Classic example: you want to buy alcohol online and need to verify your age. Instead of clicking “yes I’m old enough” (zero validation) or uploading a photo of your drivers

How well does Mandala extend beyond the Numpy ecosystem? I’m experimenting with Python CAD programming using the CadQuery and Build123d libraries. I’d like to speed up iteration time and intelligent caching would help. These libraries are p

Micronics made a splash a couple weeks ago with a Kickstarter for “desktop SLS 3d printing.” The two-person company has now been acquired by Formlabs. The prosumer SLS product is cancelled. Kickstarter backers get a $1000 credit for a Forml

Even when that person is the founder? Who created the thing and keeps it going through personal force of will? Doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. You want high quality people to be able to focus full time on stuff like this.

To get started, buy a printer. If I was starting over, I would get a BambuLab A1 https://bambulab.com/en-gb/a1 If you want to spend less, you can get an Ender 3 or one of its many clones https://www.creality

A good example of #3 are public share links. Things are more secure if you share your file with a specific set of users, but that requires your counterpart to have an account with the system you’re using (eg a Google Account for Google Driv

Cool! Surprised to hear you started with a native UI and pivoted to electron. What was the major blocker there? I recently got frustrated with OpenSCAD and decided to try CadQuery and Build123d. The modeling backend is a big step forward, b

Pretty incredible how 2/3 of that prompt is “tell the truth no matter what” and the middle is entirely “here are falsehoods you are required to parrot.”

Great to see this math being made more accessible! The Python examples seem to have a very strong Java smell. That might just be my prefer for functional styles over OOP styles though.

Looks like they're evaluating several alternatives to C++ but haven't chosen one yet: "We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives [to C++] and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near fut

I’m working on similar system. My plan is to have multiple terminal states for the tasks: Closed - Passed Closed - Failed Closed - Waived When you hit that Waived state, it should include a note explaining why it was waived. This could be “

Quantity has its own quality. Personally, my best working experiences were working twelve hours a day with substantial breaks for meals and exercise. Critically, there was still enough time for a full night’s sleep. I was massively producti

Interest that they’re releasing a deepfake detector. I expect that to get integrated into image generation training pipelines.

Pretty cool! This is significant because it’s Framework’s first 3rd party mainboard AND their first non-x86 mainboard. Interesting that they’ve added RISC-V before ARM. Wonder if anyone’s working on that. There are so many ARM SBC designs o

I switched to DuckDuckGo years ago, then upgraded to Kagi when it became available. Search results are snappy, relevant, and customizable. For technical questions, Kagi’s Code Research Assistant is my first stop. It combines web search and

Interesting video. When I got an economics degree, there was a lot of discussion about externalities. The focus was something like “here’s what we can model, here’s what we can’t. Be careful, because the stuff outside your model can really

There’s a kickstarter going for a fancy breadboard that adds a USB power supply. It also has some programmable routing features. I’m watching it but haven’t backed yet. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sandwizz&#x2F

haha no fire hazards there! The official specs [0] say the A100 80GB has a 300W TDP. That's pretty doable on standard domestic power... harder if you want to run multiples. [0] https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam&#x

That's fair. I'm not interested in allowing Apple to become a single point of failure for my digital life either. When I think about going deeper into the Apple Ecosystem, I mean stuff like: Continue to use a 3rd party mail and ca
