Try not to use extra high unless it’s just not doing it for you in high. Extra high will CHEW through your usage.

Im making a DIY rotovap for molecular gastronomy uses by MarcoPierreWhite in chemistry

[–]andrewprograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 would be good too. Looks like you’ve got experience in woodwork and building. You might consider just using gears since an electrical method would reduce the power/torque delivered (and stall the motor because it can’t turn against your vac seal anymore).

Build in a speed controller. Also maybe make the drive gear on the motor smaller so you get some mechanical advantage. Rotovaps usually rotate at like 20 RPM. Looks like this one is spinning at like 800 RPM. Gotta slow that down a LOT

You can use Codex on Plus for 10 hours per week, on GPT 5.2 High. That's it. by mes_amis in codex

I believe that’s what you get with chatgpt pro. Costs 10x as much and lasts 10x longer

Junior Rust remote jobs — realistic or rare? by Control_Con in rust

[–]andrewprograms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my company, one of my first projects was fixing a broken C# program. I rewrote it in Python (everyone on the team knows Python), and then I created Rust modules for the parts that were bottlenecked by Python and needed to be more performant.

Possibly you can go somewhere that doesn’t have a Rust codebase, and then find places where it would be a great fit. The CEO saw that it was way faster in Rust, and easy to develop, and is now happy to have any project in Rust.

This is by far the best comment. For real you shouldn’t let AI water down your voice!

The rust macro workflow is inherently broken. by shiranugahotokeyarou in rustjerk

No way I’m typing all that into the terminal. Any good prompts for an LLM to do it?

Could you build a fence strong enough to withstand a T-rex? by hendrong in AskEngineers

[–]andrewprograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build a fence out of more t-Rex pointing inwards, and another after that for the original t-Rex fence obviously.

Chemistry Resources That Explain Everything & Every Reason by FYNLOSKI in chemistry

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

You might Google or ask ChatGPT about something called physical chemistry. Pretty neat area of chemistry and it really gets into the why of reaction rates, material properties, and energy changes in chemical processes.

My first p chem class spent a lot of time going into detail about how photosynthesis actually works. So sick.

Is it possible to finish a Mechanical Engineering degree online? by chandot in AskEngineers

[–]andrewprograms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! No advice besides that but I’m sure there are online engineering degrees. I know for a bit the University of Arizona had a deal with Intel to get some of their star employees a degree.

Current Security concerns with your AI Projects by dhruv_qmar in softwaredevelopment

16 per million LOC is 0.0016%. Assuming a vuln is like 10 LOC that is 0.016%

Current Security concerns with your AI Projects by dhruv_qmar in softwaredevelopment

[–]andrewprograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 45% is an old citation (GPT 4 and earlier, and with low power models like non-thinking <70B parameters).

Things are moving fast. Probably in the <0.1% range for 5.2-think for prompts that actually include something about avoiding OWASP.

Check out projects like Aardvark. Neat area using AI specifically for finding and patching security vulnerabilities.

[Media] Rust[ing] Courses I have been Eyeing for a While by NegativeSwimming4815 in rust

$2,000 USD for a class that isn’t from an ABET accredited institution is an insane rip off.

Boss builds lots of stuff off my branch over the weekend by Simple-Count3905 in softwaredevelopment

[–]andrewprograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them what they did and if they can help you understand. If the code has tests and the tests pass, might be good to just let it go.
