OpenSCAD-coding has improved significantly on all models. Now syntax is always right and they understand the concept of negative space . Only problem is that they don't see connection between form and function. They may make teapot pe

I asked @grok to make me [flagged]-Free HN. The stream is available in some handy json-format, but to our astonishment the [flagged]-stuff is hidden elsewhere available only to signed subscribers inside the browser.

I finally managed to read Player of Games. @grok explained the structure of the book and made list of personae worth remembering. Playboy is forced to take part in war of the worlds. 50 pages of societé, parties and games are necessary t

The openscad-nightly is lightning-fast, but makes occasional occlusion errors. Assuming you make all the necessary adjustements in preferences.

It moves or grows or whatever. What other indication you want? I have not yet invented any other improvement. I tried decimal points, but that was stupid, you just add "/100" if you want micrometer accuracy.

Now they say newest version of OpenSCAD has this functionality builtin. It took only a year.

I have solved the only problem OpenSCAD ever had and that is total lack of interactivity. https://youtu.be/eG5lhLYvihQ?si=ehet5COZhiNrcK9b

Should have made "100 CONTINUE" card out of metal. It was on every freshman's program and there was even recycling bins for those.

Gemini-CLI made me linux GCODE viewer totally on its own. It could view the result itself, so no feedback needed. I only provided test gcode-file. https://github.com/timonoko/Plotters/blob/main/showgcod

Nothing 1984 about it. Nuvoton N76E003AT20: N76E003 – a 1T-8051 based series MCU, offers 18 KB Flash ROM, configurable Data Flash and 1 KB SRAM. It supports wide operating voltage of 2.4V to 5.5V, temperature range of -40℃ to 105℃, and high

Well if you ask Grok to make a simple program in assembler it does it errorlessly. I tried Recursive Fibonacci once. If we really want to make a program that uses only bytes in range 0x20..0x7E we need an environment, where Grok can verify

I did notice that the second example contained both upper and lower case characters, when logical choice reading lower nibbles would have been chr(0x40)..chr(0x4F). But beyond point, I was actually impressed when de machine understood the p

97% of these millenials of HN do not understand the problem and its brilliant solution. That is why I was truly astonished @grok grokked it rightaway. BTW. It is not beyond possibility that this nibbler or dropper was made by myself and p

My program was definitively shorter. I think I did not bother with real hexadecimals. Just used last four bytes of characters to make a full byte. Used it as a bootstrap program. @grok: While your exact code is lost to time, it would have

That is not the point. I wanted only [flagged]-content. You can get all stuff in JSON-format, but [flagged]-content is elsewhere available only to registered users.

I asked Gemini to make me HN-reader that show only [flagged]-messages, because when somebody was triggered that much, it must be something interesting. Found out that they have devious schema to keep those hidden from anonymous visitor. And

Hey @grok. Is there some grounds to call the Green Party a Pedophile Party? Yes, there are historical grounds for the accusation, rooted in the German Green Party's (Die Grünen) positions and affiliations during the 1980s, a period inf

Gemini-CLI on Termux does not work anymore. Gemini itself found a way to fix the problem, but I did not totally grok what it was going to do. It insisted my Termux was old and rotten.

Å is in Finnish Keyboards, but totally useless. F12 is easily accessible in Hacker's Keyboard. ∆ is in Gboard. There no gui, you use openscad to generate STL and view that in Android STL-viewer. You can automatize it so that it is almo

Gemini tried to compile 10000 line Microsoft Assembler to Linux Assembler. Scariest thing was it seemed to know exactly what the program was doing. And eventually said I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. I cannot
