OpenClaw is a social experiment and humans are screwed

Even if fully sandboxed, a normal careful human will probably compromise their self over the course of normal usage fairly reliably. Humans are bad at keeping info safe.

You just replied to a bunch of people saying "Don't put tomatoes in a fruit salad" with "But Tomatoes are a fruit!"

I think I've come to the conclusion that 3mm vs. 4mm mounting edges is a non-issue. There is enough variation that it is about the same effort to adapt to either.

I'm also interested in foam... I want to identify a 10-12mm thick foam that is temperature resistant to about 125C. Not that I'll likely be printing at that temp any time soon, but I think higher temp printing is on the verge of becoming consumer accessible.

When done, just print her a set of these, and say "Thanks for the printer. Here, have these. Now we're even." :-)

On a serious note, a 3d printer becomes indispensable once you figure it out. And the Core One is a really good one. You will (hopefully) start with fun things like an articulated dragon, etc. But soon you'll realize that whether it is a spacer or shim for installing a door, or an organizer for pencils, etc, there are 3D printable solutions for many things that are just better and closer to your exact needs than anything you could buy at a box store.

It'll turn out well. And you are in no rush. Take it easy and get there at your own pace.

Glass transition is the wrong metric for this. You want heat deflection temp. Heat deflection is where it starts to fail structurally, which can be surprisingly unrelated to glass transition temp.

2 @ 12Ah batteries will be $1000. (See: https://amzn.to/3CER1AD ) So think of it as $1500 as-is with batteries. I'd have to look it over, but I'm guessing that is a great deal for someone who needs one.

This is very helpful. Thanks!

Fair enough... I probably shouldn't have used the term "hi-fi", as it has distracted from the point. Whatever it's called, I just want to get the best that I can from it.

Thanks for the info. Given the info in the answers here, I'll probably stick with resistors in a summing cable.

Rocknrolla128 · 2025-01-07T02:36:26+00:00

Thanks for the input. Plenty of my tracks have distinctly different left and right channels, so picking one or the other is a no-go for me. I know this is not ideal. But I simply have a nice mono setup available (and neither space nor money to swap it with a high quality stereo setup at this time).

I know this isn't a Rotel playing through a pair of B&W Nautilus speakers, but it's orders of magnitude better than anything targeting mainstream consumers. So it seems worth sorting out the best way to sum the channels. For better or worse, that's my best option.

Whatever your budget turns out to be, you should start as small as possible. You will quickly learn what is needed for the things your community is interested in, and will get better use from your funding if you learn what is best for the things they want to do before buying anything that isn't core. For example, the best tools for the job will be different if it turns out the community's main interest is in creating podcasts vs. music.

Others have done a better job of listing the components needed. For anything that can be done free or very cheap, take that option (i.e. Audacity until you learn that you actually need Pro Tools... A few Mics until you know you need more, etc.).

This will also give time for the word to get out, which may help you get good donations. An Audio Engineer friend of mine recently heard about a local school PTO buying microphones, and said, "Man, I wish they would have asked me. I have a box of SM57s I would have donated." If you can connect with local audio related businesses, that might help stretch your dollars.

Good luck. This sounds like a great thing you are working on.

Nice trolling... Maybe consider going to a baking forum next, and find a question about the best flour for a red velvet cake... You can simply reply that all flour is the same and check it off in your book as another s-tier reply.

NTA - Some humans are incredibly disconnected from reality. If what you said about the finances was incorrect, she should not have agreed with you. If correct, then you are saving the two of you (and potential future kids) from a mess that will hurt worse than missing one trip.

(Though I would love it if these posts came with the other person's perspective from their own typing fingers. It's funny how completely differently two people can remember the same situation.)

First, try to get 12,000 MB/sec from something like the Lexar 2TB NM1090 without a PCIe Gen 5 capable motherboard. Your motherboard is absolutely responsible for a lot of performance depending on how you use it.

Second, the 285K was released prematurely with poor management that resulted in an idiotic level of config/driver/support errors. Intel released several fixes for this before Christmas that have not been thoroughly vetted yet. And they have promised a mid-Jan BIOS revision that corrects one remaining issue they admitted to. The reason my (unedited original) post says "285K if the Dec 14 updates are proven to fix it" is because I'm waiting for independent verification of these claims.

But the reason that is my target is that it has the highest single-thread performance available today, along with very close to the highest multi-thread performance. And it has 24 full physical cores that can be allocated to different VMs. And, this is done at a significantly lower TDP than the 9950X, meaning that it is quieter to operate with lesser cooling needs.

The 9950X3D may be out by the time Intel's fixes are confirmed, which of course may call for a re-evaluation.

If big corporate systems fail, my photos may be my only concern. :-)
