Halloween week! Time for Vigo to make another appearance!

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

> But he claimed it wasn’t feasible to ask for consent before ingesting their work first.

"Asking for permission first would bankrupt the streaming media industry" - Napster probably should have tried this one.

Why are long lists so terrible online? Take a music playlist, it loads 20-30 songs at a time, and then you need to scroll to the bottom, and wait for the next batch to load. Just implement virtual scroll ffs. Count the items in the playlist, let me scroll to the real end, and then batch load that.

Why The Flag Is Backwards On Uniforms | Medals of America Have you seen a reverse American flag on a military uniform and wondered what it meant? This guide will answer that question and more.

Yes, I believe on that side it's reversed to signal "advancing forward" as if it's trailing behind them rather than retreating.

This is just my little non-monetised personal blog. Imagine this across all the sites across the internet.

This was my most popular blog article that was on setting up Jenkins. It had stable traffic for 4 years prior to this.

Then you see people claiming referrals still come through:

It's still pretty weird to see AI people claim that LLMs aren't destroying web traffic. Let's play a game: Guess when ChatGPT launched:

That background looks amazing!

It was somewhat amusing and mindblowing at the same time that semantic search was just the bread and butter linear algebra of gamedev.

Yep. Lots of fancy words too which boil down to "just paste more supporting documents or examples into the chat history".

I've been following Derfies progress on this on discord for a while. He's cooking some cool stuff!

I don't think the current drivers will, but next on the task list is to switch to some TMC2209's. Should make it quicker and silent!

Do it! Can't wait to see some pics!

So, anyone got any cool jobs going haha? Interested in Tech Art, Lighting , Lookdev Unreal roles, remote from Adelaide, let me help you make pretty things!

Good point, I have a USB tester that says 12v is supported with qc3.0, but it won't tell me what voltages PD supports, I'll just have to see what happens. Worst case I can adjust some of the electronics to use 9v or 15v. There's already a regulator to give 5v to Rpi and MCU, it's just the steppers.

I want to get back on my telescope, and reviewing some of the pain points.

Setting up power for a test outside at night is pretty annoying.

I know absolute peak draw is under 40watts, and real world measured draw is 17 watts.

Enter this amazing thing.
I can run it for 3 hours off a power bank!

Ohhh interesting! I wonder if it's an effect similar to those anti-recording devices. Linus Tech Tips did a video on them.

Toastmasters was one of the best things I’ve done for speaking, confidence and my career. I should get back into it.

How you thinking about tackling it? User reports? Statistical analysis of words to try and automatically flag?

Travelling sales problem?

Way easier to read the heatmap! Thanks!

Yeah that'd be great! I've been very very interested in the No GIL transition so a package lookup like this is awesome! Already found a few blockers for one project. Thanks for making and sharing!

Awesome idea! Unfortunately for the colourblind among us those colour choices:

Yep same one. Good video and great he was able to interview him.

I watched the same or similar video and it was infuriating.

This image makes my fingers hurt.

Yeah seconding GH codespaces. Used it a few times before. It's pretty cool.
