When I first got into 3d printing I realised there was an untapped world of glitching the stream of instructions sent to the printer for interesting effects and thought of you

if the bespoke voltage lines for SF’s hotel elevators weren’t provided by PG&E (no idea) and could be leveraged that would be a cool project.

I used to write such bloated graphics code, but when I saw how much can be achieved in just a few kilobytes I underwent a Demoscene conversion

Bluesky is kinda neat, and I get that this behaviour is a form of cathartic healing, but my timeline is full of USA Fascism stuff. On the other hand, how come I hear none of this in my country’s news? _thatβ€˜s_ concerning.

Michael Burry (The Big Short) is betting against AI companies as well. He reckons they’ll change how they report depreciation to hide up how much they’ve spent on chips and data centres to inflate profits. What could go wrong?

The greatest lie the 80s told young computer users is that programming would be as magical an experience as the programming textbooks of the 80s promised.

First success at 8x Sun HΞ± mosaic: 5.7K disk in good detail (downsampled here). Coronado PST is a visual instrument, so brightness is not uniform across the field, which gives lots of trouble with compositing. But it almost works, if you are very patient!

we won’t. And so any other bugs we suffer won’t get fixed. Until/unless we look at alt firmware. It’s all a pile of admin we could do without. Meanwhile our Prusa soldiers on. We should have just bought another of those!

I TF care. We put a Bambu into our office print lab last year. This change is going to make it really hard to manage sharing the printer in our lab. I care because I bought one thing and if I take this firmware update I’ve got something else entirely

I wonder if I should invest more time over here. I’m happy with the Fediverse, although I’m not convinced it will ever get mainstream appeal. Certainly β€œX” is done for.

@rob-sheridan.com there's a local saying where I live, "shy baerns get nowt". So here I go: given the Fragile anniversary, thinking about live song performances: are you sitting on the Open Source Resistance show footage? would you consider putting it up? TIA!

It is our toddler with his friends, who are considerably older than him. They are all at the children’s museum dressed as skeletons, which was their own decision. Some real Cobra Kai shit.

While I was out of town, our 2yo wanted to get a skeleton out of my office to play with. He made it sit with him, insisted on its inclusion in family photos (much to my mother’s chagrin), started dressing like the Skelly, and then formed a skeleton gang with his friends. So proud of my goth son πŸ₯Ή
