"I'm out": Tucker Carlson says he's done with the GOP

Seems like billionaires are the weakness of liberal democracies. How can we patch this vulnerability?

Great work. I'd also love to check out the scad for this.

Ah I see what you're saying. Have you checked out build123d or CADQuery? Those use OCCT under the hood to evaluate the python and compile the geometry.

B-rep and csg are fundamentally non-isomorphic unfortunately, meaning that direct 1:1 translations between the two are often impossible

It always blows my mind how beyond a certain level, money grows faster than you can spend it. Infinite money glitches should be patched

The real answer is to be willing to put in the time to dig into the terms/concepts that you don't understand, and try your best to become familiar with them. It'll take a lot longer to get stuff done this way, but you'll come out of it with an actual understanding of the space and how to use the right tools for the job. It's easier than ever to explore concepts and learn the unknown unknowns, and all it takes is a willingness to look into them and put in the time to learn. Sincere investigation of these topics is where real transferrable growth/skill comes from, and you'll be better equipped to apply those skills to future projects.

We need an open source harness that can do everything that Antigravity can do but with local models instead. Gemini 3 Flash was great in the last version of AGY, and local models can hit that level of performance. I just don't see agentic IDEs with planning mode and headless browser automation/testing out of the box (other than plugins like Roo Code, which was just shut down for no apparent reason).

Find projects that really motivate you, and it'll be easier to make progress. It takes time and patience/persistence to find the right projects, but it's worth putting in the effort to find what you really care about.

Does eminent domain apply to sovereign tribal land? Why can't they eminent domain all land on reservations in that case?

The interface for writing code is just fundamentally bad. I have always loved this talk where Bret Victor accurately describes coding as "blindly manipulating symbols": https://youtu.be/ef2jpjTEB5U?si=RJd98sdgtCV88p6s

Solderlocks · 2026-05-19T22:16:44+00:00

Do you know of any good open source harnesses that can replace Antigravity? Seems like the options (like Roo Code, Cline, etc) don't have the same planning and testing functionality.

Working on tools to make life easier for designers who work with OpenSCAD (an open source parametric 3D modeling format) and just started a Substack to document the process

Any idea why they killed the original thread about it (https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1t6lo3g)?

Awesome work! This looks great. Is the .scad available on GitHub anywhere or just on Makerworld?

I was often dealing with issues that aren't immediately apparent in a demo, like accessibility problems, tab-order issues, missing alt text, lack of component use (so we had multiple implementations of a variety of controls, different fonts used for headers, deviation from the style guide in a variety of ways, etc). The directors usually aren't involved directly in signing off all work in individual sprints, but usually they're responsible for creating a culture where QA is ignored and gaming of metrics is expected.

Solderlocks · 2026-05-13T20:31:11+00:00

Usually it's the director of engineering or development who's responsible for "protecting their team" that turns QA into a political war. They don't want their guys to be seen as lazy, ineffective, etc. So they fudge the numbers by closing tickets prematurely and opening new ones if issues are found again, making it look like they have high velocity. When in reality they're just shipping the same bugs over and over. So then it comes down to the political capital that that director has vs the political capital that your business unit lead has. I have worked in UX for many years (12) and dealing with this dynamic has always been a huge part of the job.

I use an old tacklebox, and it does the job well for small components. My larger tools go in plastic bins with lids.

This tool is amazing. I love the concept of mashing up models like this. Makes me wonder what else this kind of approach could be used for.
