- Comment on I created 3D Prints for my first game. They're the first STL I designed in Blender and not Cad. What do you think? 4 days ago:
But why muddy the terminology, when there is already a clear distinction between the two major factions? where CAD isused to denote the traditionally engineering oriented, and 3D modeling is for the traditionally organic model design tool, do you need to mix the two? They each serve distinct specialized purposes and their definition are widely recognized within industry in general already.

Well, yeah a computer is obviously used but you’re using it in an extremely literal sense that people generally don’t use. Blender and similar are usually referred to as 3D modelling software. The key difference seems to be that modeling software is not intended for precise real-world dimension but more organic shape manipulation and CAD software is meant for precise dimentioned designs made from extruded 2D sketches.

PLA is the filament used for printing the 3D printed parts

What kind of PLA is he using that’s only 17USD for 1.5kg?
- Comment on Iran war shows how AI speeds up military ‘kill chains’ 1 week ago:
I mean, pattern recognition in insanely large datasets is exactly what AI systems we have today are good at, which is also what the article talks about, and the issues and risks this poses in a war. yes, in a military context it enables tactical decisions to be made faster, and war kills people so not really a big eye opener there, however still horrible.
But this ability to analyze datasets that are basically too large for humans to efficiently condense to something meaningful is still valuable in many other aspect outside of military, killing and surveillance (although this is where it is used most extensively it seems)

If anyone I don’t know, including banks, police, government officials etc. called out of the blue and ask me to join a video call, I’d just hang up. That just screams “scam” in your face.

- Comment on Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal 1 week ago:
It is not “well established”, your own link only lists it as one possibility out of several, and is by no means conclusive.
also from your source:
Limited time and resources: Another theory suggestsTrusted Source that people with low food security have limited time, knowledge, and resources to engage in healthy eating and exercise.
This is a highly complex issue, and cost doesn’t seem to be the main driver at all, definitely not conclusively.
- Comment on Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal 1 week ago:
No if course not, but that is something entirely different that cost being the issue
- Comment on Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal 1 week ago:
Exactly, so obesity is not a cost issue
- Comment on Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal 1 week ago:
I don’t know where you live, but where I live junk is stupid fucking expensive compared to veggies, and an increasing number of people are still overweight. A single 300-350g frozen pizza will set you back at least 6EUR, I can easily buy fresh veggies for a meal to feed a family of 4 people for 12EUR, that takes 30min to prepare, less if you try to save money. I simply don’t buy in to the whole cost premise being the reason.

- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 1 week ago:
I mean…if there is no grid frequency detected it automatically breaks connection between the house and the grid and keeps supplying the house from the panels and batteries. When it detects grid frequency again it reconnects the house to grid. It’s a fairly simple concept.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 1 week ago:
They detect incoming frequency, not voltage. And yes, they absolutely detect the difference, I have one, it works exactly like this.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 1 week ago:
Oh you can buy off grid inverters (or inverters capable of “island mode”). But they are required to be able to automatically disconnect from grid, even if they are never going to be connected to a grid. You can’t buy solar inverters without this for the exact reason that you can connect them to grid.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 1 week ago:
So you can’t buy raw solar panels or inverters in Germany?
Sure you can. Solar panels will be fried by grid voltage more or less immediately if you connect them directly to a wall socket and become useless.
You cannot buy a PV inverter in Germany (entire EU really) that doesn’t automatically shut off if it doesn’t detect a frequency to sync against from it’s AC side, unless it can run off-grid in which case it has to disble the grid connection within the same 20ms.

I think I would go for refurbished/used 12tb drives or bigger if money allows. I put 3x12tb in my server 2 years ago and thought I would have more than enough space for a long time…I did not.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 2 weeks ago:
The seller is only responsible for checking that the product is legal, not whether or not the information and documentation provided by the manufacturer is falsified. In this case, if a game dev accepts that they of course have all the necessary licenseses for game assets (which valve definitely has a clause with), then valve has done their part. If it turns out the manufacturer mislead them, it’s the manufacturer who’s in trouble, not the seller.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 2 weeks ago:
If a supermarket cooperates with a local farmer to sell their produce directly without middle men, it’s partly their responsible if the produce is made using illegal pesticides.
No that’s of how it works…well, anywhere. In your analogy, the supermarket relies on the supplier being truthful with their documentation for their production. That’s as far as their responsibility goes legally, they have no obligation to investigate the suppliers claims any further.

Wait what? Why would valve need to license the music? They’re not making the games…That should be the responsibility of the game studio or developer that makes the game that uses the music.

- Comment on 🚀 Statistics for Strava v4.7.0 released! Dark mode & Milestones timeline 2 weeks ago:
I’ve already looked into gadgetbridge, but all supported devices unfortunately have fairly limited functionality. I get that it’s the premise with the reverse engineering they do to make things almost work.
The bangle.js models are a fucking ugly apple watch clone, I’d never wear that thing. And I’m not looking to get an actual smartwatch, I have no need for any of that clutter or a desire to charge my watch daily or every other day.
I’ve used a coros pace 2 for a long time, definitely not private but very limited smartwatch bullshit and >week of battery with +1h of daily GPS tracked running. Not supported by gadgetbridge though.

Then it would just be nonsense, and looking at their reply to other comments I doubt they ment whipping.
- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 2 weeks ago:
I’ve only bought a laptop from lenovo directly once, and it was horribly overpriced. Don’t know it it changed in the last 15 years since I bought it though.

It doesn’t track GNSS, I don’t run with my phone.
- Comment on 🚀 Statistics for Strava v4.7.0 released! Dark mode & Milestones timeline 2 weeks ago:
And all of them are limited in some way or require official app alongside of it. I repeat myself; there are no good open source HW solutions available.
- Comment on 🚀 Statistics for Strava v4.7.0 released! Dark mode & Milestones timeline 2 weeks ago:
That’s not HW, I need the bloody HW to do any actual HR tracking too. GNSS without HR is not worth much to me. There are no good HW solutions on the market.
- Comment on 🚀 Statistics for Strava v4.7.0 released! Dark mode & Milestones timeline 2 weeks ago:
A good, no fuss, simple open source GNSS tracker with HR that is compatible with gadget bridge would go a long way. I just want something like a classic casio digital watch that tacks my runs and forwards the raw data for analysis on my phone or a self hosted service.
