- Comment on United Nations wants to treat AI with same urgency as climate change 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 5 months ago:
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.

Just because you never heard of it doesn’t mean it hasn’t existed…

You don’t even need to be inserting probes to be able to do that…
OCZ had this ‘toy’ out in 2008.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip 6 months ago:
OCZ back in the day had a brainwave game controller…
- Comment on iFixit hails replaceable LPCAMM2 laptop memory as a 'big deal' 6 months ago:
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 nanometers.
LVDT for those curious.
- Comment on Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths 6 months ago:
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?
- Comment on Amazon "search through reviews" is blindly just running an AI model now 8 months ago:
Got the source for that? The original story.

Bought a switch just for this series. Well worth.
I wish I can play Xenoblade 2 for the first time again.
- Comment on ‘This Has Been Going on for Years.’ Inside Boeing’s Manufacturing Mess. 10 months ago:
Is it surprising that a publicly traded company is going to drive down quality to meet (or in spirit areospace’s case - attempt to make) profits?
- Comment on Awesome Games Done Quick starts tomorrow! 10 months ago:
I haven’t watched one of these in years now.
Which runs/races are y’all looking forward to?
- Comment on Valve issues DMCA takedown for "Team Fortress: Source 2" 10 months ago:
Valve seems okay with TF2 mods on the older engine… See tf2classic.com
I feel like the TF2Classic ran into dmca issues earlier in their dev cycle as well.
- Comment on 10x Stronger Than Kevlar: Amorphous Silicon Carbide Could Revolutionize Material Science 10 months ago:
I wish the article gave better explanation to how hard it is rather than just stating that it’s not brittle… Could revolutionize the cutting tools industry if it’s harder than cubicBoronNitride (CBN).
- Comment on Why do we still use stepper motors? 10 months ago:
It seems like the argument is that at a lower price bracket, stepper motors offer higher performance than what a equivalently priced servo+encoder+controller combo can perform.
I felt like what I’m reading in this thread wasn’t matching up with that I see out in industry… Diamond turning machines are inherently low torque, low speed, AND nanoscale operations which uses servos for driving its respective axis. See precitech -youtube and in stark comparison Roeder’s 5axis optical mold machining. Wire EDM’s were all driven by servo motors until linear motors became popular. Even those famous JingDiao test samples are made on machines driven by servos.
- Comment on Why do we still use stepper motors? 10 months ago:
Steppers have a higher precision to a servos higher speed and torque (but torque that’s not constant.)
Just trying to understand this. Then how come all CNC precision machines use a servo instead of a stepper? I mean there are some ridiculously accurate machines that can position itself over and over varying under a micron (<.001mm) but the manufacturers choose servo over stepper. Is it for the sake of holding torque that servos have to be used over steppers?
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
I can hear everything perfectly, but can’t focus on a person speaking because my brain will give equal attention to every other noise source around me.
THAT’S A SYMPTOM OF ADD??? I did not know that!
- Comment on Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now. 10 months ago:
but near impossible for AI generators.
…I feel like this isn’t the first time I heard that statement before.

Been waiting for this one, subbed.
- Comment on Why American manufacturing is becoming less efficient 1 year ago:
we’ve just lost the innovations that come with running that of wider sector
I’d argue that is not the case at all since manufacturing innovation is a commodity sold to a the global market.
- Comment on Why American manufacturing is becoming less efficient 1 year ago:
Some have even argued that because America’s software and internet sectors have been so lucrative, talent has been diverted away from older industries.
Please just say the quiet part loudly. Wages in manufacturing are disproportionately lower than other jobs with much less skill required. McDonalds/Costco in California are paying more than Tool&die machinists in a large aerospace company.
- Comment on I can barely tell the difference between 60 and 165 hz on my monitor 1 year ago:
Haven’t read the entire thread so apologies if you’ve already provided this information but could you show us a picture of your monitor’s osd with the input source information? That should tell you right there that your input device isn’t sending out what you desire.
Also if you don’t have a >144hz option in your os’s display options, try disconnecting any other monitors you have plugged in.
- Comment on I can barely tell the difference between 60 and 165 hz on my monitor 1 year ago:
What cable and interface are you using?
- Comment on What happened to Airbnb? 1 year ago:
I lived in one of ‘those homes’ once… All 6 bedrooms and the garage which I stayed in was at least 1000 a month. And it was bare minimum amenities. One refrigerator shared with everyone, stove top was broken the entire time, one restroom and shower, and half of the folks had no idea how to clean dishes.
