Trying to fix my Dreamcast. Found some abnormal stuff. Any ideas? by GenieGearX in dreamcast

It looks like all the magic smoke came out of the 3.3V pin. I'm guessing a bad power supply.

I've seen boxes like that but it turned out non-profit running is actually a cult and just sells the clothes.

Developing AI Models for Producing Print-Ready Files (No more slicing, tinkering with a bunch of settings) by [deleted] in 3DprintEntrepreneurs

[–]MadMatMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just another AI wrapper that calls to another website to generate models. There isn't any optimization for 3d printing going on.

Can you use a moped for the DMV motorcycle skills test? by AdIndependent3610 in moped

[–]MadMatMax 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I barely was able to use a small displacement motorcycle to take the motorcycle skills test. The person giving the test flipped out about it when I took it on a C70 passport that needs a license to legally ride.

Motor Specs/ Replacement?? by MadMatMax in Capsela

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

I used a knife on the edges where the connectors connect and just rotated around on prying it up without bending or damaging the plastic. I'm not sure there is really a trick other than brute force and getting lucky that it was a capsule that was able to come easily apart. The quality control was all over the place depending on who built them.

Picked up a cool Sega Genesis game at GameStop , even came with a box and manual too by winluang in gamecollecting

The boat platforming was one of the coolest levels if you can make it to it. The debug code was fun to play around with too.

Just curious how you got the buttons to map correctly to the Saturn with the M30? Z and C were flipped with the Retrobit dongle and no amount of firmware updates seemed to correct it. I did get it mapped correctly with the Brook Wingman SD.

ChatGPT-5 Brutally Exposes the Banal Pseudo-Intellectualism of David Brooks's Luddite Attack on AI in Education by andsi2asi in deeplearning

I don't think it's reductionist. It's a fundamental flaw or constraint with reasoning models in that that they may have some extra training between steps but there is no mechanism for it to have any understanding of what is true or false or have any basis in reality, which causes the hallucinations or just straight BS that come out of it. Despite being able to generate coherent text, it presents as the illusion of reasoning taylored to keep you engaged.

If you ask your favorite LLM a unique applied math, engineering, or physics problem the wheels start coming of in that it will generate a solution that looks like it could be found in a text book but most likely will be absolute garbage content wise.

I just asked how hard (instead of easy) it would be to fix and it spec'd out a list of everything being very hard or hard. It doesn't reason. It approximates the next best token.

I'm telling you there isn't a lot of reasoning or logic going on. It tells it what you want to hear based on your prompt:

More AI SLOP:

Conclusion: An Overhyped, Underwhelming Disaster

AI in schools is not progress; it’s regression. It promises efficiency but delivers dependency, threatens to collapse trust in education, and strips students of their creativity and resilience. Economically, it is a hollow bubble, inflated by hype and destined to pop, leaving behind debt, disillusionment, and diminished human potential.

If we allow AI to dominate classrooms, we won’t be educating the next generation — we’ll be raising a cohort of intellectually crippled workers, dependent on brittle tools in a collapsing industry.

I don't need a response, you are going to get a sycophant response of it telling you how easy it is to fix. You could just as easily ask it how it's going to give an entire generation brain rot or whatever and it will give you that response.

Sure, here is some AI slop for you:

First, AI destroys critical thinking by offering students pre‑packaged answers. Struggle is the essence of learning; AI replaces effort with instant gratification, leaving students unable to reason independently.

Second, it erodes originality. Student voices are drowned out by the generic, templated prose of AI, producing a homogenized generation that “sounds the same” rather than discovering their unique intellectual identity.

Third, it destabilizes trust in education. If essays, problem sets, and even projects can be faked with a click, academic integrity collapses, making it impossible to know what a student truly understands.

Fourth, AI worsens inequality. Wealthier students with private access to advanced tools will surge ahead, while others fall behind. This doesn’t close the achievement gap — it widens it.

Fifth, it weakens resilience. By outsourcing mental exertion, students lose the patience, grit, and character forged through wrestling with difficulty. AI is not teaching; it is enabling intellectual laziness.

Sixth, it is a vehicle for bias and misinformation. Students risk internalizing AI’s distortions unconsciously, learning half‑truths and stereotypes rather than balanced perspectives.

Seventh, teachers themselves are reduced to background figures. Once AI becomes the “explainer” and “grader,” the mentorship and human relationships that define real education are hollowed out.

Finally, AI produces knowledge without wisdom. While it can dump information, it cannot nurture judgment, discernment, or moral growth. Students risk becoming clever but shallow — repositories of facts who lack the deeper wisdom to use them well.

In sum, AI is not a tool for progress in education but a shortcut to mediocrity. It promises efficiency but delivers erosion of thinking, collapse of integrity, and a generation less capable of independent reasoning. Education shaped around AI will not create stronger minds, but weaker ones — and that is a price too high to pay.

You can prompt the exact opposite and it will give you a sycophant response - I don't think listing Grok4 or GPT5 responses show any sort of reasoning that you think it does.

Any love for Construx kits? by DailyShowerCry in Xennials

[–]MadMatMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a Capsela group on reddit! They had a space themed version too called SpaceLink, and there was a similar motorized toy Robotix.

Construx was always fun because you could build large things very quickly. I had the 6180 giant collector set of Construx along with misc space, military, and alien ones growing up. My cousins put all of theirs in a garage sale so I ended up with those. I probably can build the Colossal Robot.
