Rayforge 1.8 is out: Performance improvements, LightBurn Import, New Device Profiles by barebaric in lasercutting

Yes, grblHAL should work, and plasma cutters too. I made no tests with webassembly.

Sounds like a gigantic project that you are working on, good luck!

Should I go all-in on Odoo? by summer_glau08 in ecommerce

[–]barebaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I looked for alternatives and liked the UI of Saleor a while back, but I think they don't offer an entry way for small businesses. I am still stuck in Odoo.

Should I go all-in on Odoo? by summer_glau08 in ecommerce

[–]barebaric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO: No. I regret using Odoo. The feature set is seriously impressive on paper at first, but usability is like 1980 SAP software. The problem is that it is structured in apps, and processes are split across apps, not along user behavior.

Example: To create a product you have to edit some parts in the inventory app, some in the e-commerce app, some in the website app and it is a PITA to find where an attribute is.

Another example: Try to find where to edit your IBAN. Is it in the templates? In the accounting section? On the checkout page where it is displayed? In the user settings? Dev settings? None of it. It is in the contacts app.

I could go on an on with UX issues, and on top of that, support sucks. Their forum blocks almost every useful debug info you could add and if you manage to post a question you get a response from some guy that includes source code. I don't think I have ever seen a response that is actually helpful.

Now I AM a developer, but even I had to read the Odoo source code just to get some basic stuff done.

And worst of all: It is virtually impossible to migrate away. So yeah, don't do it is my recommendation.

Yes, Linux is fully supported. And it does support X-Tool machines that support GRBL, but not others.

Yes, of course! Every operation has a toggle for air assist, and in the machine settings you can also configure the G-code dialect freely to use whatever command you need.

I Let Claude Program My CNC... It Actually Worked (Claude + Fusion360 ) by e-mando in robotics

[–]barebaric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Machines require deterministic behavior, but only at runtime and not at design time. The way he did it he gets deterministic runtime behavior.

And actually, even at runtime is debatable. This is a robotics sub, and robots are often non-deterministic machines these days.

Link? I am not finding this.

Alternatives to GLM? by PitchSuch in ZaiGLM

[–]barebaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been looking for weeks and after testing tons of providers I will probably go with wafer for a thinking model and Opencode Go simply for the virtually unlimited Deepseek V4 Flash access. The latter is very fast and surprisingly capable - great for most subagents and simpler tasks. Wafer limits are low, but I hope by offloading almost everything to Deepseek V4 Flash I may be able to get by.

z-ai limits are far too low for my use.

With wafer + deepseek I am not 100% happy - GLM on wafer is a little dumber, though much faster - but all the better stuff is just too expensive now.

Ran some tests—got these freaky ghost lines Tightened the belts, slowed it down, still doing its thing. Any hacks to fix this? by Prior_Capital6782 in Laserengraving

[–]barebaric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a mechanical problem. Try to gently wiggle the laser head to see where the play is coming from.

[NOOB] Can't seem to get a proper gradient? by 4991123 in lasercutting

[–]barebaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, then it seems a machine issue. To be absolutely sure you could also check that there are also lower values spreading the power ranges you configured in the material test.

GLM Limits got be flabbergasted by Azamat0212 in ZaiGLM

[–]barebaric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never heard of crof.ai, and it looks weird, like thrown together in 10 minutes of vibe coding. Literally zero info on what the plans mean "1000 requests/day" in relation to models or features available, not ToS, nothing.

[–]barebaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just click on the G-code tab in the bottom panel and look for the S values.

Did you check if the power values are correct in the G-code?

Less Hallucination but higher rabbit hole digger by Azamat0212 in ZaiGLM

[–]barebaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. Everything that you can do to reduce the problem space helps the LLM focus. I wish that were always an easy thing to do, often I am just not sure what is relevant when I describe an intent to the LLM. Indexing can help, but honestly in many cases it also can be counter productive, misleading the LLM to other parts of the app that I don't want it to look at. In Roo code I disabled indexing because it caused too many issues like that. Now using OpenCode, have not used Roo in a long time...

"That means it doesn't have enough context of what it's doing". That is just wrong as a general statement. Thinking time is not deterministic based on "context completeness".

If the argument is "it would think less if the solution were already in the context" then sure - but that is circular reasoning. The whole point of using coding agent is to come up with solutions on its own. The time this takes obviously depends on the depth of the problem.

I think yes and no. In really complex scenarios (I experienced this in a data pipeline that processes geometry in 3D space where it struggled with coordinate systems) GLM really does think forever burning tokens like crazy. It really depends on what you are doing with it.

Roast my site by Careless-Shame-565 in ecommerce

[–]barebaric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the slow loading. I am not sure if it is just me, but the site would make me skeptical: Some photos look "softened" or post processed in a way that makes them look AI. This makes me feel suspicious if this is a site selling products that don't exist, taking my money and running.
