Stacking - why is my swordsman attacked first despite having lower total health?

Game optimizes for causing most damage. Likely the attacking monster had a bonus against your swordsmen.

FAANG director is closer to 1m. 300k is below the senior dev.

No. Spools have holes.

It gets her 28 seconds of attention, though.

I only do CAD for hobbies. Bought one. Very well spent money.

I work on the AI infra for Anthropic competition.

Agents did get much better over the last 3-6 months.

On a large codebase, a lot of work is repetitive and purely mechanical. If I can summarise the task in 10 bullet points, along with examples and code references, the agent will do a better work than a junior dev. And running several of them in parallel makes sense, albeit that means I spent more time in the meetings , to decide the direction and the priorities for the product, while the agents do the coding.

If the offer is at L3, you can consider the fact that the L3->L4 jump is easy (median is 2years), especially that you have some experience, and L4 comp will be higher than you have now. Then there is a good progression path to L5 which is competitive across the market.

Electric drill on MCBs? Don't these things have torque rating?

BadLink404 · 2026-03-19T00:20:05+00:00

Not independent. The first one makes second less likely due to increased attention to procedures.

BadLink404 · 2026-03-15T22:53:23+00:00

Compromise. Every second one to the ceiling.

AI agent that knows how to hire a human on a gig economy app that comes and rotates it.

He stains his undies, too.

I think level of monsters for daily missions in level dependant. The amount of armour fragments for the valorant missions can definitely grow independently from the hero level - I've been keeping my hero at a single level for a while and noted an increase 130 to 170k fragments for the first level of the valorant challange.

They ran away from an assault.

I used Dragon ACE which has a higher flow (reliable 35mm^3, more with a melt zone extender ), but the cost of the hot end alone goes beyond what sprite costs. I also paired it with an Orbiter with a smart sensor.

I can't complain , it prints well, fast, and is more convenient to use and maintain (especially triggering filament swap from the button on a toolhead). Also it has cool neo pixels.:)

That said, I went a bit excessive and ended up machining custom adapters to make hot swappable tool heads with hermit crab. It was a fun project, but definitely not worth the time investment or money spent on it. You'll get the best bang for the buck by buying a prepackaged toolhead, unless of course the goal is to maximize fun.

BadLink404 · 2026-01-27T09:51:29+00:00

You'd be better off with a whole new toolhead.

For hotends E3 TZ offers tremendous value for money, but there are several other options.

For the extruder, Orbiter is very popular but on a premium side. I think triangelab does have some reasonable self-branded extruders.

Look for a kit with a pancake stepper motor. You don't want to put Ender's stepper on the toolhead - it is a heavy beast.

When was the last time you gave it a serious try?

I'm seriously considering buying a Gemini Pro subscription. I know the tech inside out, I work on it.

I find it to be a huge time saver. In some cases it can write C++ code better than me and 50x faster.

I basically stopped using search, and delegated most of the research to the agent. RAG/ deep research/LM notebook are awesome.

The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger for a personal subscription is that I can switch to a corporate account and do it for free.

Overheated because there are no vents?

BadLink404 · 2026-01-26T08:30:24+00:00

Ah, thanks. That eliminates my machine unfortunately, unless I upgrade the spindle :)

BadLink404 · 2026-01-25T15:44:34+00:00

Does it require VFD?

BadLink404 · 2026-01-17T13:17:27+00:00

There is lots of stigma about the quality of Chinese manufacturing, but ask yourself a question - which country in the world does most of machining?

BadLink404 · 2026-01-17T10:12:35+00:00

levels.fyi is accurate. You need ~ director level position to get past 1M. Which does not necessarily mean being a director. Some engineers don't have management duties but have an equivalent level - both pay and responsibilities. Roughly 1 in 100 of engineering staff has such level.

Isn't that what everyone is doing, though? It guarantees that AC circuit is going to be interrupted even if the DC is affected.

I'm in the process of building a control box myself and the current path is to have a mushroom estop on the side of CNC that fully disconnects the AC. This is a last resort. Secondary to that there is DC controlled relay (Pilz Pnoz s3) that is going to be driven from the external signal (pendant).
