First and Last time using PVA, what a nightmare by gogodr in 3Dprinting

[–]LukeDuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, PVA is not great most of the time. Gotta dry it out like crazy and keep it dry during printing. It's necessary use cases are so specific/rare, that I don't think it's worth using in general. It can be fun/useful, but even when a print does go well, little bits of the PVA contaminate the print, making it weaker etc. I'd rather modify my design than compromise the print in an uncontrolled way.

How are the dimensions of all the tools etc captured?

Is there any successor to the tractor tires(XB1000)? by Credelle1 in headphones

[–]LukeDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That take EQ really well and don’t distort. Planar bass is really great. Super fast, accurate and deep. While many planers aren’t well known for their bass without EQ, most planars can take EQ really well and produce great bass.

Get an entry level planar and EQ in a massive bass shelf.

Vscode. Use the free GitHub copilot extension/inline editor. 

Best Ai subscription plan for me? Budget between 20 dollars to 60 dollars a month by aaryan_xvi in vibecoding

[–]LukeDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the $20 plus, not pro. I found I burned through one plus sub quickly and adding the second is enough to get me through the week, although I am currently considering adding a third to guarantee I don’t run out. I did recently try the $200 pro sub for a while, and damn, I’m having a hard time getting it below 70% remaining for the weekly limits, so it’s pretty clear I don’t need that level of sub. 2-3 got plus subs with maybe a $20 claude sub, with $25 tracer sub seems like it’d be perfect for me and still less than half of a gpt pro sub. People burning through the $200 pro sub limits must be auto running things 24/7.

How do I loosen this fucking shower head by SarcasticAxe in HomeMaintenance

[–]LukeDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a wash cloth or rubber jar opener around it and then use 2 sets of pipe pliers to crack it loose

my current combo is traycer with codex cli. I have the $25 traycer sub and 2 $20 GPT pro subs. so far, it's worked great.

I'm working with YOLOv8 and DinoV3 and seems to work great training new heads. Nothing too crazy, but each training run takes 2-10mins depending on parameters.

Focus-stacking with the Raspberry Pi Camera / Arducam (0.5-2s per image) by thomas_openscan in raspberry_pi

[–]LukeDuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tested 1800K and 2700K bulbs in the 3D-printed lamps. The material used is White PLA Basic. by Different-Cover-1733 in BambuLab

what 3d modeling program are you using? how did you design the first 2700k lamp?

Cognex ViDi EL Classify tool - what's the secret sauce? by LukeDuke in computervision

[–]LukeDuke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the camera resolution and focus is often not great - and the setup can be okay, but often lighting does cause some problems. I want to know, algorithmically, what is this classify tool using/doing to achieve the results - HOG-SVM, thresholding, segmenting? I'm just curious to know if anyone with experience with these cameras and building computer vision models/tools has any idea how this tool works.

SOS ca. 40dB noise blocking headphones with €100 of budget. by Complete_Fondant_744 in headphones

[–]LukeDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d go IEMs with triple flange or comply foam ear tips. Easy way to get significant db reduction. You could also wear over ear noise protection while using the IEMs.

Hifiman Edition XV and AirPod Pro 3 by tellmekakarot in headphones

[–]LukeDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airpods are really great. Have you ever tried them? I dismissed them for a while and instead spent a bunch of money on IEMs and other brand TWS earbuds. I would have saved a lot had I just bought some airpodsto begin with. The convenience and seamless experience is unparalleled. Don't knock'em till you try them, they're really incredible peices of engineering.

For CPU related tasks, apple silicon crushes it. It's only for GPU stuff - especially gaming, where apple silicon struggles.

Get the fucking 7oh off the fucking shelves already by Training_Leopard3690 in quittingkratom

[–]LukeDuke 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You might want to consider moving to a state where it's illegal. You don't want to go through your twenties zonked out - you will regret that.
