(It was AF 447.) I take this opportunity to recommend Admiral Cloudberg's excellent analysis (longread): https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-long-way-down-the-cr...

I was just about to say the same: OpenSCAD is CAD for programmers. It's very different from what's generally considered "CAD". That's not necessarily a bad thing; there's a clientele for it, especially here on

Is that due to some kind of issue with the architecture, or just a matter of software support? In the latter case, I'd expect patches for AMD or Intel to become a priority pretty quickly. After all, they need their products to run on s

Luckily, what's valuable and what's not is not on you to judge.

In my defense, I was commenting at 0 min, since then he made several updates explaining the situation.

Looking forward to the post mortem. :)

Thanks! Just yesterday I was thinking it's high time for me to check if there's any progress on the Torrent Nexus, and here we are

I don't think they considered it, but I'm positive they would have found it absolutely hilarious

Would fit right in with LLMs' recent HN front page predictions.

Wait, he was carrying what? Did it not occur to him that this might be a bad idea?

Where I'm from, they just hide the meat in dumplings to eat on Fridays. No way God could ever see through that ruse!

Yup, a friend's wife used to be a vegetarian. The occasional chicken for dinner never put a dent in that self-assessment.

Yeah, those were different times. On one of my first flights alone, 16-year-old me had forgotten I had a knife in my backpack. X-ray guy took it with him to a back room, measured the blade to be shorter than, idk, 12 cm or so, and just hand

O sweet times when it was imaginable to have a combustion engine weighing 32 kg in your check-in luggage. I sincerely wonder if this wasn't hazmat back then?

Strange, it isn't for me.

Obviously. It's a bit funny people take this at face value.

FWIW, I wouldn't hesitate to install a 3D printed air-filter housing in my car, if I had printed it myself out of e.g. PAHT or sourced it from a trusty vendor. It's not rocket science, just engineering.
231.
by shmeeed 11mo ago
It absolutely can. Not all 3D printing is kids' toys. In the end it depends on the application. Vibe coded flight management systems, anyone?

You're against additive manufacturing because you want robots to become craftsmen? That's... a pretty wild take, to put it mildly. I'm curious, what are "standard construction materials" and "regular builds&quo

Except that it wasn't, it's just what "the owner understood from the vendor". But the AAIB measured the Tg of material samples to be about 53 °C, which is very low and strongly suggests it being PLA or PLA-CF. I wonder i

Right, one might suppose so. Alas, the chirps echoing within a tiled 3x3' cell grind my ears. Besides it feels a bit out of place within these plain white confinements. I just can't conjure up the mental image of being out in the

Of course, but they're fiercely opposed to the notion of being subject to regulation by EU institutions. The Swiss are well capable of regulating themselves to death entirely on their own, thank you very much. ;) On the other hand, thi

And they've gone such lengths to hide it! An innocuous text link somewhere to the right, hidden between some nondescript lorem ipsum, or somewhere way down where you'd never know to scroll because the scroll bar is hidden by defau

It's always been questioned who the subject of "my" was.

You're joking, but my wife got us a box emitting bird sounds when the motion sensor is triggered. Suffice to say that it does absolutely nothing to mask the sounds that are produced on a toilet, it's just another ridiculous layer
