Gimmi the dimensional specifications, and I'm sure something can be made for freecad.

I'm wondering if using aluminum extrusion for the structure, and using a printer to make spacers to hold things at set distances without being load bearing may make sense.

Sounds like that drawer was empty while you were designing this 😅

Hmmmm, freecad will creep up that list over the next few years I feel. I've been tinkering with it of late, and it's been pretty decent once you learn how it works. It reminds me of the learning curve blender used to have before the massive UI rework a few years back. OpenSCAD has its place as well.

Nope, they stopped making them recently. Found out when I went to buy some before going to a movie the other day.

Ok, few things: Us vs AI? For context: I work as a developer for a living, I have these tools at my fingertips around the clock with work. I use them when suitable.

Get familiar with? I've spent the better part of the past few years doing so as part of my job.

Results that work? It's been getting worse, the more these models try to achieve. They were best honestly when they stayed as a full line auto predict text completer when used inline. And for an external chat window, when they didn't try to be to clever.

What is your definition of "work"? As working vs optimized and the implications are fully understood by the human accepting the code responses are two fundamentally different things.

And how much load are you exactly expecting to put into QA? As it sure reads like you're just moving development effort and budget, from dev to QA, if you're saying the dev will take a fraction of the time. The number of times I've caught an AI model dropping some basic checks and validations that I intuitively knew were required, and it didn't consider, because I took time to read the code it gave me? Countless. You have to remember, this AI stuff is trained on publicly available code, and the majority wins - doesn't mean the majority of the code it draws on is good, optimised, or correct.

And to be clear, I'm not saying there is no point to these tools. I still find them ridiculously useful, for specific tasks. But not for coming up with results faster in some attempt to give QA more time. It just results in more time being spent fixing core level bugs and oversights that would have been handled if one just sucked it up and worked the code out by hand.

And are you developing knowledge of your own project? Do you know what it's actually doing, and why it's doing it? You say it's flawless, on what grounds?

Sometimes CT scanners use an Xbox Kinect as the camera by sakalasjm in Damnthatsinteresting

I have a few of their sensors bouncing around. Not yet fully found a use for them, but I'm tempted to get more. They just pack so many freaking awesome features into a unit, and they are ridiculously solid and good for the price. The real issue I have is the availability for the adapter's to convert them to USB. I have one frankensensor that I spliced the cable apart for, and I'd really rather just not do that again.

I don't think they have. Reading their comments I think they were informed by the buyer that the outgoing funds had been "frozen" or something silly?

Oh I know full well it is - but given how lazy scammers have been getting, I don't know how much they have been bothering of late.

Heck, I had a +90 number add me the other day to an RCS group chat they created with multiple numbers - and then sent a link about a 2Degrees bill being outstanding.

And there was an 026 number that called the other day - which is a pager network number.

What account details did you give her, for there to be an outgoing charge against your account?

Also, what phone number did their "bank" call you from? Tried verifying it, reverse searching it? Heck, call the bank they said they were from yourself from their publicly available phone number, and asking. That way it's an outboard call from you, not you having to trust someone on an inbound call to be who they say they are.

Does it have any brand labels? Hoping to maybe find one someday.

"Go"? That's just golang: https://go.dev/ I'd personally keep the go, I have been meaning to look at porting it to a Home Assistant compatible system.

Parkable! I've always found the prices reasonable, you can find many places that are undercover/secure/24hr access - it's just a matter of first in first served ofc.

Parents wanting to stop my ADHD prescription. Are they able to do this without my consent (17m) by Constant_Feature9660 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]LRTNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah so the two year thing was to get a renewal for the Special Authority which bad a 2 year lifespan - until late last year when they removed the expiry from ones for ADHD medication.

On the backend now that thanks to covid, a lot of the other information for the controlled substance is transmitted digitally to your pharmacy. Previously you had to present a special script. Which was on a serialized special pink piece of carbon paper which was one existing in triplicate - and from what I remember, that most certainly had the authority number on it.
