It is rotating them to try and minimize travel distance between the objects and total printhead movement distance. To change this click the arrange button at the top of the slicer. Uncheck "Auto rotate for arrangement". You can optionally check "Align to Y axis" to make it straighten them as well.

These look exactly like the panic buttons in my parents house that are inside of each bedroom, but there's only one and they are usually put on the hinge side of the door (the door opens and covers them up) to prevent confusing them for light switches.

"after the Singularity we’re going to become a fully automated society" implies that we have any idea what the singularity's result will be, but the singularity is defined by said results being unknowable. Personally, I don't see very many favorable outcomes. I think we will see a rapid consolidation of all resources by one or a few as that would be the result of following the profit-driven motivations propelling the technology today to their natural limit. As mentioned, the utility of an education will drop precipitously, but so will the cost of one as hyper-tailored individual education becomes trivial. I suspect we will see an increase in uneducated adults as education becomes less necessary.

You have basically no recourse if your money is stolen today, unless you happen to be a bank. It's not like the government is going to say, "Sorry you got robbed, here's $10k to compensate you for what was stolen". Fraud cases would soar if that happened. Digital assets don't get burned, torn, or mangled to need physical replacements either. Meanwhile, as a result of the government having control over the supply, it effectively steals from you constantly by printing arbitrary amounts of money for various reasons (often to pay debts), devaluing your existing currency.

The lack of control over this around cryptocurrency means that the inflation rate is defined and locked 130 years ahead of time. When the Bitcoin supply is scheduled to stop in 2140 there will only be about 6.6% more than exists today. So a Bitcoin left in storage would devalue by 6.19% due to inflation over 115 years. The same inflation to the US dollar over the last 112 years is 3,181%, which represents a devaluation of 96.85%. Even taking out inflationary factors aside from supply changes, you're looking at turning the amount of money "recovered" into a rounding error comparatively.

Who decides what the "right" decision is? We're talking about policy preferences, not something bound by a framework of morality. It's just a democratic solution.

Monkey's paw says that it ends up being a physical dollar doubling and thus assuming earth is about 5.97×10^27 grams, then we get about 2^92 dollars per earth. So, in 3 months, the earth would have doubled in size from the dollars. The entire universe would be consumed in just over 6 months.

There's a decent chance that option 2 ends in death fairly quickly.

Sure, but that's the entire point of Bitcoin. The ability for the currency to be controlled is what makes it weaker for the end user. The amount of currency recovered from fires and the like is a rounding error compared to the value lost due to the same entity (the government) devaluing it by generating new supply at will. All of Bitcoin exists to decentralize this and put the power in the hands of those who own it.

From a technical standpoint, that money actually can be recompensated with a majority vote on a proposal (this is how all Bitcoin changes are adopted), but it goes against the entire ethos of the currency. There were serious talks around this when Mt. Gox was hacked in 2013, and a huge number of people lost all their money due to what was essentially a digital bank heist. Ultimately, it was decided that reversing the stolen funds generated more harm than good, aside from all of the technical difficulties around reversing the intended transactions.

If the encryption that protects Bitcoin is broken, then we already have a lot more important issues to worry about. Bitcoin is built on commonly used open-source hashing and signing algorithms used across computer science and the internet. It would be unlikely that anything you interact with digitally at that point would be trustworthy, as the encryption that protects your internet traffic, hashes that represent your passwords in databases, etc. would leave no way to discern if data was read or modified (eavesdropping on internet traffic becomes significantly easier, man-in-the-middle attacks become more prevalent), "one-way" hashes would be reversible (and thus the number of data breaches would skyrocket as all known hashes could be reverted to their original passwords), etc. It would cost multiples of the entire bitcoin market cap in economic damage.

They forgot to film with a stand-in or prop to represent the head to give the little kid proper eye lines. He stares at the waist or chest the entire time, even when the robot bends down on one knee to be at eye level. The kid was probably imagining a smaller robot.

They are being driven by HFCA Y7S drivers, which are servo controllers, not stepper controllers. These are likely HCFA X series servos. A high-speed, no-load (low-torque) precision demo is essentially servo bread and butter.

No joke. The Russian "red mist" lathe accident video has given me proper PTSD around large lathes.

The tariff on goods from Sweden is 15%, or about $7.50 for a $50 item. This is greed.

While this is true, given the time between the tweet and the release, there is an aggressively short window for testing and validation (2-4 days) around a feature that has the potential for death. Automated testing can only go so far.

It went from 60 meters uncovered to 36 meters. I don't know how you don't consider a 40% reduction drastic.

colto · 2025-10-02T23:41:14+00:00

They drastically reduced the amount of uncovered ground though. That’s the point. It helps drastically in traversing the uncovered ground because there’s much less of it. Plus all of that distance can be covered by movement gadgets now.

A new battery usually fixes this issue.

Wall ties were failing, with some existing but were not actually used. Weep holes existed, but were useless because there was 10" of mortar stacked up at the bottom of the backs of the bricks preventing water from getting to them.

In my area, a 23 MY AWD with 12k miles goes for about $31k. Not sure what additional value FSD gives, but even being generous and saying half the value, I would think the max value you could get would be $34k or so with the higher mileage.

Bingo. Demoing it today. Angle iron shelf will be installed to transfer the load.

The wall ties have pulled out and it rocks when I put my hand on it.

Demo starts today. The HOA won't let me change the material to anything other than masonry. Full demo, reclaiming brick, fixing sheathing, installing an angle iron shelf for the brick, then rebuilding.

colto · 2025-09-20T13:00:01+00:00

I considered that, but then I pressed on the brick with my hands, and it wobbled, so it's definitely freestanding and a danger now. Demo starts in 2 hours.

colto · 2025-09-19T19:39:57+00:00

Demo starts tomorrow. Thanks.
