“the serial output from my test unit turns into garbage and it happens at completely random times!”
“Did you make sure they were plugged in all the way?”
“WHAT?!?! ARE YOU SUGGESTING I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING?!?!”
Some time later
“Yeah, it turned out to be the serial connection was loose.”
It’s a surprisingly good comparison especially when you look at the reactions: frame breaking vs data poisoning.
The problem isn’t progress, the problem is that some of us disagree with the Idea that what’s being touted is actual progress. The things llms are actually good at they’ve being doing for years (language translations) the rest of it is so inexact it can’t be trusted.
I can’t trust any llm generated code because it lies about what it’s doing, so I need to verify everything it generates anyway in which case it’s easier to write it myself. I keep trying it and it looks impressive until it ends up at a way worse version of something I could have already written.
I assume that it’s the same way with everything I’m not an expert in. In which case it’s worse than useless to me, I can’t trust anything it says.
The only thing I can use it for is to tell me things I already know and that basically makes it a toy or a game.
That’s not even getting into the security implications of giving shitty software access to all your sensitive data etc.
They’re they’re, it’ll be all right.
I have to eat 6 tablets if I eat ice cream. If I don’t, it’s three am vomiting for me. :/
Only problem is you can’t eat a Hilux when the going gets a little too tough.
With that one (creality textured glass carborundum something or other) I kept hitting it with 95%+ IPA, it just gives out eventually. I switched to a textured spring steel plate recently, world of difference for petg, PLA, and tpu. It’s just another consumable :/
If you’re not ready to switch yet a layer of masking tape can get you by for awhile, it’s just a pain because the masking tape will need to be replaced about every other print depending on your settings.
It looks like a glass carborundum Creality plate. I have one of them, they work really well until one day they just don’t.
What did you do to that poor build plate?!?
Haha! Jokes on you! It was mostly gnu makefile calls to ruby scripts!!! You’ve just broken the build a million different ways!
Last time somebody did this to me there were a lot of sit downs about how to properly chop up large scale code changes and why we don’t sit on our own branch for two months.
“How long will this take to get in?”
“Well, two weeks for me to initially review it, a week for you to address all the changes, then another week or so for me to re-review it… Then of course we have to merge in all the changes that have been happening in primary…”
Short answer: No, this guy is all the way up his own rear end.
Longer answer:
Author: “C is not ‘close to hardware’”
Also Author: “Successful one to one struct comparisons may require padding, which isn’t automatically applied!!!”
Like if you have an entire PhD on this stuff and you don’t understand how and why you need to pad, when you need to do it, and how to calculate the proper amount of padding, maybe somebody should’ve stopped you before you showed your whole ass on the Internet like that.
(Padding is applied to align chunks of data more closely to the size of memory writes possible in a given architecture, it is extremely system dependent and you use it in very specific circumstances that you, a beginner, do not need to understand right now other than to say that if the senior says thou shalt not fuck with my struct you better not)

Call me grape cause I’m jelly. That’s a really nice setup.
It’s 0.2 layer height, I wanna say it was 3 layers, but it could have been 4. The green I’m using is opaque at even one layer with these settings though
I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to get through this, but thanks for the link, this is really interesting.
Given the history of outside influences on Haiti, I’m not sure how much of this story I buy.
Could be “violent gangs” torching “civil society” for “their own benefit”.
Could be “revolutionaries” torching “an oppressive oligarchy” for “the benefit of working people”.
Both of them would be reported the same way in US, or European newspapers.
I’m just skeptical when I see “violent gangs” taking over public infrastructure and when one of the “first casualties” of a “bloody uprising” is the Prime Minister who is not in fact dead, just forced to resign and flee the country.
They’re manual changes. Annoying, but they work for basic stuff.
Gotta be able to boot Nazis. Otherwise it’ll be Nazi bar.

I appreciate HW engineers and techs. I’m not afraid of datasheets, circuit diagrams, or a mso and they’re always patient enough to explain things to me so I can make the rocks behave. Or at least tell me how to go from diagram to board lol.
