Here’s the issue I have with your position… AI is such a generic term it’s difficult to have a fulfilling conversation using it but in my field a form of AI like machine learning is going to eliminate an entire sector of manufacturing… Boutique precision machined components have been thought as an impenetrable wall against AI but it’s basically the same lackluster defense used not long ago about Generative images couldn’t produce hands properly… It’s not a matter of if but when.

Imo, the catastrophe happens when a successful AI scales. Or perhaps rather how suddenly a successful AI model will bury the existing system into irrelevancy. Boeing and most aerospace manufacturers have a machinist union but none of that will protect against a future where people are no longer necessary.

I don’t think it’s wrong to have AI eliminate jobs but it shouldn’t come without warning. I think it’s rather forward looking to be monitoring ongoing AI projects and establish contingencies for folks who will become displaced by it’s rapid spread.

Trying to get capto systems for the multi-task lathes and zero-point pallets for the mills. I do prototyping and it’s the only way to stay sane.

If your power consumption is actually 250 then go for a 500w PSU. You’ll get better efficiency.

Anandtech (rip) used to be my go-to for PSU efficiency curves.

Ah a Joe Pie classic. If you’ve seen his videos, you know.

Death stranding directors cut. I’m 10 hours in and having wayyy to much fun with the gameplay loop. Still on chapter 2.

3am… Need to be up in 4hrs…

Imma need me some 4 fairy soup.

I’m pretty sure they would have to upload millions of pictures of their own creation first.

From the YouTube guides in generating your own Lora models… Naa just a couple reference poses and it’s ready to go.

a yes, the tuned mass damper.

De-vibe bars work in a… uh… similar manner.

Somehow I get the feeling Valve still had some lingering feelings about the failure of Valve’s TF2 comp and they’re trying to right their wrongs.

I wonder if that shares the same physics as silvent’s compressed air guns.

Silvent’s air nozzles reduce the sound level when blowing with compressed air compared to blowing through open pipes. This is due in part to the reduction in noisy turbulence from using Silvent’s air nozzles, and also because of the nozzles’ special design. Silvent’s air nozzles pass the compressed air through small holes and slots, which raises the sound to frequencies beyond what the human ear can perceive. This allows us to make blowing with compressed air both quiet and efficient.

Could use an even quieter compressed air gun

I feel like it’s more “thank us for believing in the right god”

Not sure what else this meme is doing other than actively creating a bigger divide between the genders…

You don’t even need to be inserting probes to be able to do that…

OCZ had this ‘toy’ out in 2008.

one of the reviews…

Ultra-sensitive, excellent response time. Partial hands free gaming. Cool looking blue LED glow from interface box. This is the future of computer user interface. While designed primarily for FPS games, works exceptionally well with MMOs. Makes Crysis WARHEAD and FarCry 2 a joy to play. As a disabled person, this unit has allowed me to game with all the “normal” folks on the same level.

OCZ back in the day (2008) had a brainwave game controller… didn’t need surgery for that.

A couple old metrology equipment dated back from the 80s I still use calls them ‘mil’. It’s got dual dials for mil/mm. Gets me confused sometimes because the gauge can go down to couple millionths of an inch/couple 10s of nanometers.

LVDT for those curious.

might as well ban microwaves for emitting ‘radiation’.

From memory …

Select tool and draw circle.

Select option menu then click ‘to path’

Unselect all

Somewhere nearby there is a fill stroke to path or something.

Yeah…I’m considering going over to paint.net or something else.

If Red Bull can be successfully sued for false advertising from their slogan “It gives you wings”, I think it stands that Tesla should too.

Took me a couple glances to notice the second keyboard. Is that comfortable?

Even if you get good at that thing, the compliments won’t subdue the imposter syndrome.
