• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BL A1 Textured PEI plate, print is warping. What to try first?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Decrease part cooling. Especially for small prints, when the fan kicks in it can cause sudden cooling of the top part while the bottom stays hot, causing warping.

  My PETG profile has no cooling for the first 2 layers, then gradual ramp-up until layer 5

  Ah yes, cream and bacon, true staples of genuine Italian cuisine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  An americano is indeed an espresso (sometimes double shot) with added hot water. Not Italy specific though, it’s just a different thing than filter coffee - but it’s true that in Italy you can usually get the former but not the latter.

  Some other common coffees: lungo (“long”, an espresso that’s extracted for longer so it’s a bit more “watery”), macchiato (“stained”, an espresso with a bit of milk and foam in it, kinda like an espresso version of a cappuccino), macchiatone (“big macchiato”, halfway between macchiato and cappuccino), corretto (“corrected”, with a tiny bit of liquor, usually grappa or sambuca)

  Also male lions spend an absurd portion of the day sleeping, and leave most of the work for the females

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been a happy Tidal user for years fwiw. The app is great as is music availability and discovery. I went back to Spotify for a while because I was missing its discovery features like discover weekly, but Tidal has greatly improved since then, and now features a daily discovery playlist (10 tracks, which I greatly prefer to Spotify’s weekly 30), plus 8 custom mixes based on genres you listen to. Track radio is also solid.

  Also, it’s maybe the only subscription service that instead of creating new tiers, merged the two it had before into one, keeping the upper tier features at the lower tier cost

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The solution isn’t being able to stay on old versions. Software should improve over time, not fuck you over

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Solid advice!

  And remember that “DE-hopping” is much easier than distro hopping, as you can install multiple and try them out without reinstalling your system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember to dry your filament kids⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Place the spool on the bed set to 60-80°C, then put an empty filament box that’s missing the bottom side (when flat) on top of it. Place silica, make some holes on the top side. Some youtuber made tests and this method lands pretty nicely in between low-end and high-end dedicated dryers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s difficult to be a shittier company than OpenAI, but Perplexity seems to be trying hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We hate AI because it's everything we hate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In no way given the chaotic context window from all the other models were those tokens the appropriate next ones to pick unless the generating world model predicting those tokens contained a very strange and unique mind within it this was all being filtered through.

  Except for the fact that LLMs can only reliably work if they are made to pick the “wrong” (not the most statistically likely) some of the time - the temperature parameter.

  If the context window is noisy (as in, high-entropy) enough, any kind of “signal” (coherent text) can emerge.

  Also, you know, infinite monkeys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida ounces⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As always, just a great unit of measure.

  • Is called “fluid weight”, but is actually a unit of volume. All liquids have the same density right?
  • An “imperial fl.oz.” is ~28.41mL
  • A “US customary fl.oz.” is ~29.57mL
  • A “US food labeling fl.oz.” is 30mL

  Also found out that you have “liquid pints” and “dry pints” as well, for some reason.

  People are downvoting because your solution to oppressing democracy is doubling down on it.

  And your take is that “libs love playing by the rules” when someone says that this rule should be abolished? Lol
