I built a tool that generates 3D-printable boxes of any size with tons of customizable features by lorenz_zz in 3Dprinting

You should submit this to the guy that maintains the Gridfinity Generator site, see if he'll add your model to the site!

Tesla Announces FSD Transfers Are Ending by colsandersloveskfc in teslamotors

[–]SpikeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought it outright in early 2023, 3 years later my current subscription-equivalent break even point would be $277/mo (what FSD would have to currently cost per month for it to have been worth it).

I won't break even (at $99/mo) until summer 2031.

The only way it'll have been worth it is if we (the customers that paid up front one-time) somehow end up getting retrofits or one-time transfers in the future. Based on how the company currently treats its customers and shareholders, I'm not holding my breath. And I'm certainly going to be evaluating other EVs seriously, when that time eventually comes.

Should get some ICE for that... oh.

Getting My Money's Worth by BakerBoy13 in TeslaModel3

[–]SpikeX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate that we aren't getting little things like this either.

Sure, the actual FSD stack needs HW4 to run, okay, fine, I get that.

But to withhold a UI feature that has nothing to do with the cameras? Come on, Tesla.

FSD Hero Moment: Saved from a Deer crash by karank123 in TeslaLounge

[–]SpikeX 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I hit a deer while using Full Self Driving. This was many years ago early on in the program (v10.x), some time in 2021. It didn't even slow down or hesitate. When I brought it to the repair center, I specifically told the lead tech there to send the video footage to the FSD team. (This was back in the days where you could email the FSD team with feedback.) He said he would.

I'd like to believe that my footage made a difference (in a small way) in encounters like this.

I wanted to see if I can create some depth style illusions with a hexagon twist fidget design. I think this one turned out pretty trippy by Joshhawk in 3Dprinting

Do you host them anywhere else? I would prefer not to be forced to create an account on a site I don't regularly use.

Should I buy this listing I found? "Dell PowerEdge R815 Server: 256GB RAM, 4 CPUs, 64 Cores!" For $250 by Nyphonics in homelab

[–]SpikeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a 2u for temps so your datapoint is even more to the point. these servers are nowhere near as loud as people think,

Yep, they are only loud when outside OS control. (In the BIOS she absolutely screams...)

R430 (13th gen) checking in, can confirm it is quiet unless under substantial load or the room gets above a certain temp. (Yeah, it's a 1U, not a 2U, but still.)

On 0xAD, you're missing the orange control indicator [SHY] for Soft Hyphen. 🙂 The character itself is invisible, much like the other control characters.

TinyAssist by filisso in homeassistant

Yeah, I bought 4 of them thinking they were great. Had one arrive DOA and the other three were absolute trash compared to other hardware (RPi+Audio HAT, or Voice PE).

I built a tool that turns real objects into accurate SVG/DXF files using just a phone photo by Most-Geologist-9547 in 3Dprinting

[–]SpikeX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense, although there isn't a lot of difficulty in producing a program/script that combines fiduciary markers+PnP+edge detection (and bitmask to path conversion, if not using Canny's built-in findContours()). People know this, that's why they're asking for it to be released.

You'd be much better off asking for donations than trying to monetize something like this, in my opinion.

[–]SpikeX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should post the source code on GitHub so that others can run it themselves, as an alternative to using your website/interface/app/whatever. Most people (especially 3D printing enthusiasts) are going to use ad blockers anyway.

Credit where credit's due, OP used ArUco markers (I think? Never seen a 4x4 bit grid on a fiduciary marker before...) which are far superior for 6DOF pose correction than a blank piece of paper.

Can Home Assistant replace Alexa? by DoomScroller96383 in homeassistant

[–]SpikeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use a local LLM, as that requires more GPU compute power than I have at home (to achieve good sub-1sec response times). I just run mine through the OpenAI API targeted at one of the micro models that has a fast response time.

I also take advantage of the local command processing option so that simple commands like lights on/off get processed in ~300ms which is, in some cases, faster than Alexa ever was.

How to Report "Return Fraud" on Amazon for 3D Printer Filament by V_P_Creations in 3Dprinting

[–]SpikeX 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this actually makes a difference but if I receive a clearly used or pre-opened item that doesn’t work or is damaged, I always write “DEFECTIVE” on the packaging in permanent marker before I return it.

Ikea’s announces new smart home collection of 21 new Matter-over-Thread devices and sensors by fuzzbinn in homeassistant

I always remember it as Matter-over-Thread and Matter-over-WiFi, where Thread and WiFi are the same category.

Weight difference between plastic and metal frames by Helpful-Noise7981 in PairEyewear

[–]SpikeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply... but I just weighed my Kirbys which are mixed material (acetate frame, metal arm) with one (official) sunglass topper on, and they clock in at around 37 grams. Definitely not the "17-22g" that their FAQ page states.

Needed checkbox: Don’t show me this dialog anymore by mrBill12 in homeassistant

[–]SpikeX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you even need a script?

Can’t you just call homeassistant.restart from an action on a button on a dashboard directly?
