I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface.

Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces.

Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done!

But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind

this is the largest circuit board i've ever completely reverse engineered. 8 layers, larger than a sheet of paper, 1000s of nets, over 1000 parts. 🧡

Although I've seen performers at electronic music open mic (EMOM) and AlgoRaves do stuff live on their groove boxes, modular synths, and laptops that go a long way towards performing in person fully developed pieces that one might have assumed required a DAW to create

But the Suno CEO is not making that assumption. His plan is to be more like the video game industry by manipulating 2% of prompters into becoming "whales" who get psychologically manipulated into a state of addiction and pay for the majority of the costs.

Adam Neely cut the segment on what he thinks about performing live an arrangement generated by Suno. He tacked it on the end of the Nebula release as a deleted scene. He absolutely hates the idea.

I'm experimenting with different Voronoi grids behind the black LED acrylic diffuser. I think I prefer the one on the right, since it allows more light to bleed onto the surrounding wall.
Which do you prefer?

A man is using his computer and AI to generate a picture…
Panel One: Man: AI, Create a drawing of a tree!
AI: Of course! Here is your drawing of a tree. A drawing appears on the screen, but the tree is upside down.

Panel Two: Man: It’s upside down, put the tree right side up.
AI: Certainly, here you go…
The tree is still upside down.

Panel Three: Man: No that’s not correct, please rotate the tree 180 degrees.
AI: I apologize. Here is the tree as you requested. 
The tree is still upside down.

Panel Four: Man: No that’s still wrong! You haven’t changed anything!
AI: I’m sorry. Here is the image again, but with the tree rotated 180 degrees as you requested.
The tree is still upside down.

Panel Five: The man is getting super frustrated, and says β€œFFS!That’s the exact same picture!”
AI: I understand your frustration and you are absolutely correct to call me out. I deeply apologize for the repeated failure and for providing the same image again. I will now rotate the tree 180 degrees. 

Panel Six: When the image is regenerated, the tree is still upside down.
The Man puts his head in his hands and groans
The AI thinks to itself β€œForget a nuclear apocalypse, driving them to insanity is an infinitely more  enjoyable way to eliminate the human race.”

Better than setting up OpenClaw "heartbeat" job to issue a reminder to drink the nearly expired juice by checking the time every 30 minutes very inefficiently, sending around 120,000 tokens of context describing the reminder to Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5.2 model

Thanks EVERYBODY for making such an amazing GENUARY 2026!!

If you did all or most of the prompts, you should be very proud -- that is a significant achievement :)

And if you did a couple of them, most importantly I hope you were inspired and had fun!!

Previous years I would try to do every prompt but this year I only did a handful or so and that's even with combining prompts from different days. Also got flu in the middle of the month. But less stressed overall and didn't have days where I was just joylessly trying to reach a quota

And even when they do pay attention to the news, the mainstream newscasters bend over backwards to accommodate the far right talking points as one of the equally acceptable valid opinions under the guise of media impartiality&balance
