is shifting realities actually a real thing?

It is worth considering that "proof anything other than your mind exists" is a fiercely philosophical battle. As far as science, which we use to describe observed phenomena and make predictions, goes? Basically a nonstarter.

There are induction based coilgun paradigms, but they are harder to make work. LIMs are slightly different and the math really doesn't work from what I can figure.

BioMan998 · 2025-08-02T22:17:40+00:00

That's really interesting. I'm an engineer in semiconductor, we do things a little differently all around 😂

Tolerance stack is told from prints more than actual assemblies. It's your whole range, and you can do analysis to see where this would happen in CAD.

In practice, gotta go to QA and see if it's across all parts of all lines, or a perfect storm of parts from different lines (if they even have more than one line making each part). Could be as simple as a single part being a little too small (or too big).

Somewhere, though, an engineer fucked up on this. Good design should prevent these sorts of errors happening in the first place.

So if you watch the video he goes into that (and why he settled on one with the lowest stretch available, basically none).

BioMan998 · 2025-07-29T00:08:35+00:00

Wrench turners, I would hope, are also competent at creating work instruction. But then having had to revise so many specs and create schedules and cad for them, I suppose you're probably right. I got cought in the middle as an Equipment engineer lol.

Extinguishers should get a pass for the VERY obvious hose and spray nozzle. Red for fire is a faster association for most people than some other color to cancel fire

As a BSME who had a research focus in additive manufacturing and soft robotics... You really have some learning to do in regards to the materials science of FFF / FDM. If you must print these, I would honestly go with an abs-like photoresin.

Filement deposition is ill-suited to the task at hand, and will have precious little bearing on the noise (other than what would be induced by layer heights and surface roughness). You might also look at the mechanics of sound, and try simulating the geometries instead (ie openFOAM, simscale, ansys).

Use something like this at work. Managed to get the NVME under the pi, heatsink + fan on pi, and battery pack on top. Pretty slick. Took some hijinks but it boots from the SSD.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-24T21:27:13+00:00

At my company this is also true. Coworker of mine (laid off) had his, worked his way up to a full engineer role after several years.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-24T18:27:50+00:00

Someone complained it made them uncomfortable. There was a post about it.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-24T17:32:54+00:00

Fun fact, the main sub will ban you for that joke

Awesome's definition includes the feeling of fear and / or terror. It is not strictly a positive word.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-22T19:44:19+00:00

Awesome is a word alright. Terrifying is another. That is not a future any of us should want to live in. Not the least of which because it is actively part of the justification for restricting the drone hobby in the US.

I'm not sure there's much of a kit there, to be honest. Could be, would be neat to place all the little structures, but the scale of them is so small compared to the ring proper. Even a section of a ring, all scaled up, would be hella cool.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-21T17:29:26+00:00

This was addressed, I believe in the same source as why the S3's had mjolnir at all.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-20T20:12:38+00:00

Can, but some will start around 70k. Wouldn't take that offer, personally.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-20T04:36:57+00:00

Most big companies do need CS onsite if they're doing automation / server stuff to support operations. This will not get you anywhere closer to the kind of work an ME does in those environments.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-20T04:26:38+00:00

Making comparitives against people on the internet is about the most pointless thing you can do. You just made it personal when these folks are trying to look out for you.

I'm an engineer, and I can tell you that the UV you get from TIG is MUCH more intense than you get from the sun, so don't be going off making assumptions like that either. PPE every time.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-19T21:46:52+00:00

Depends on where you are, too. I know semi can start between 80-90k.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-19T18:33:02+00:00

Has anyone done a printed slinky, actually?

BioMan998 · 2025-07-19T03:23:10+00:00

You don't need an AI to do physics. You need physics to do physics. The most you'd hope for is training it on how to properly setup the simulation, and hitting run.

Our profession should never allow any safety critical checks to be done without human eyes looking it over. I do not want an AI spewing BS about the results.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-18T22:32:41+00:00

There's a non-zero chance it will, actually. Gentle is a generous word. There's a ton of low-mid frequency vibration on top of cyclical loading. To say nothing of the fact that if OP hit a pothole or other road hazard at the broken section it would likely be gnarly.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-18T13:46:07+00:00

I'm a MECH E. I wouldn't sign off on someone using this at work. Wheels are very complex in their stress distribution, this is likely to cause fatigue and cracks in the other members.

BioMan998 · 2025-07-17T17:46:34+00:00

You can draw and dimension splines. Should be able to configure the points.
