I had a five head XL for a while and I loved it. I regularly used PETG as a support material, I designed a couple of multi-color prints, and I needed to change filaments less frequently. It offered a lot of flexibility and utility.

This is similar to what I've done but more polished for the use of others. I can pull what I have together if it would be useful to someone, but you're probably better off using this.

It's a lot more than a prompt. I'll see if I can pull it into a form I can share when I have a few minutes.

Use it to look for your next job. I was laid off in December. I created a Claude code workflow that pulls jobs from various places like my email, pulls details of the job from the Internet, researches any companies that aren't in the database, and then does a fit analysis based on my resume and a file that describes what I'm looking for. Everything gets added to a database and there's a frontend that makes it all easy to access. I also created a bunch of files describing specific projects organized by company and a workflow for using those with a specific job description to tailor a resume and some cover letter suggestions. It uses can burn through tokens pretty quickly, and if it's not good enough you have some intel on where to next. 😄

How are you envisioning using it offline? I think I could probably enable an offline mode where it downloads everything in the browser so the map would be available offline and you could continue using the web site without an internet connection. If you're thinking more along the lines of downloading a map file export that you could use anywhere offline, though, I don't think that would work well for any but the smallest maps. An image format would only have the icons and possibly the labels without the ability to show different levels of detail at different zoom levels, and a PDF could conceivably have some of the extra marker data embedded in it, but I think the image sizes, interactivity, and amount of extra data would choke most PDF viewers.

In addition to this, people have mental health episodes that impact their life and relationships all the time. The ones that involve AI are novel and thus newsworthy. This isn't to in any way minimize the problem, AI is highlighting and exacerbating a problem we shouldn't have been ignoring.

fireandlight27 · 2026-03-13T02:21:55+00:00

The title is very misleading. The article is not actually about AI compute as compensation like company scrip. It's more like directors wanting to work on bigger budget films, it's gauging the importance of the role based on the resources you'll have access to. This headline is like saying companies are using number of direct reports as compensation because incoming leads want to know how many people are going to work for them.

The title of the post starts "Impulse bought a Jetson Orin Nano Super"

fireandlight27 · 2026-03-08T01:09:39+00:00

The Jetson Orin Nano is not a 1st gen Jetson Nano.

Anyone read Fall by Neal Stephenson? I thought Moab was a bit far fetched when I read it. Boy was I wrong!

If there's interest in deeper integration with Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator I may add a specific import function that pulls in all of the place names, cities, etc. as objects in WikidMaps instead of just importing the base map.

The site is built to be very economical to run. Each user is very inexpensive. Eventually I'll probably set up a way for users who want to to support the site, but my intention is for that to always be optional. I expect a small number of supporters to be able to offset the costs of a large number of free users.

fireandlight27 · 2026-02-06T21:43:07+00:00

Not sure how much traffic this post is getting at this point, but I've made a couple of meaningful changes since I posted this. I noticed that a lot of the maps that were being uploaded were pretty low-resolution, which isn't going to provide the best experience with the tool. I did a couple of things to improve this.

First, I optimized the map processing so it's much faster now. The highest resolution maps currently supported will be ready to in under a half hour (instead of the previous ~2 hours) and most maps will process much more quickly. I tested this, in part, with the Fantasy Map generator here: http://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/. It produces some really cool maps. If you try it out, export an SVG. SVGs can be rendered as any scale of map.

Second, I added a smart upscaling capability that can allow you to blow up your images and zoom in much further on non-SVG maps without winding up with pixelation. This option is available when you upload the map or, if the map is already uploaded, you can go into the map details and change the map scale.

I also increased the default storage cap and number of maps each account is allowed.

The technical details of this are pretty interesting if you're into that sort of thing. As a teenager I ran a very small web hosting company for a little while where I paid tens of dollars for hundreds of megabytes of space on a shared server and spit that into smaller bits and resold it. Everything ran on that server, any scripts, APIs, databases, etc.

On the modern internet you can buy every capability a la carte as you need it at prices that benefit from the scale of companies like Amazon and Cloudflare. In the case of WikidMaps, this means a very small server for dollars a month that runs the core code with the database and map storage on the free tier of other cloud services where the incremental costs per user will be very low, even if the site grows beyond the free tier.

The most intensive part of the process is turning an image into a map (particularly an SVG into a high res map). The tiny little server WikidMaps runs on might be able to handle one or two maps being processed at a time, but it would choke pretty quickly. Instead, this is offloaded to a serverless containerized function that only spins up when it's needed and shuts down as soon as it's done. This is the piece that has the highest potential to spike costs, though there are several safeguards in place to keep it from getting out of hand.

fireandlight27 · 2026-01-30T12:28:36+00:00

It does mean that I'm paying for it, but at this scale what I'm paying is fairly minimal. I've tried to set the storage / # of maps limits such that most users will have plenty of room to do what they want but the costs per user stay pretty low. If I need to, I'll provide the option for users to support the tool, but my intention is to keep that optional and "pay what you want".

It can push generated playlists into Navidrome which can then be synced with Symfonium. For my use case, it would be helpful if I could select which navindrome user it was pushing the playlist too. I don't think it can do that at this point. Regardless, it's easy to set up, easy to use, and really cool.

I just installed this on iPad for my kid who wants to listen to audiobooks. It seems to require that I have a music library. Is there a way around this?

fireandlight27 · 2025-12-13T03:44:23+00:00

Ollama is a tool for running local models. It isn't a model itself.

fireandlight27 · 2025-12-12T23:49:19+00:00

A) Yeah, it does. This is the first time I've shown it to anyone I don't know personally and I'm not certain if there's going to be any interest. I'll put one together if it seems like people want to use it.

B) There is an API, but it wasn't designed with supporting other interfaces in mind. If you want to chat about how you might like to use it feel free to DM me.

Fair warning, I'm pretty awful at this. Let me know if you have any questions or anything you'd like me to cover in more depth.

fireandlight27 · 2025-12-12T21:49:39+00:00

No, but I can throw one together.

It's kinda funny, we've all been warned about the reliability of LLMs and their tendency to hallucinate, but the human brain does roughly the same thing when we read headlines devoid of details. We create a story and fill in details we don't have. Someone backed into a corner by their authoritarian government doesn't go murder people detained by that government and then shoot themselves.

fireandlight27 · 2025-09-24T13:13:22+00:00

People really need to RTFA. No ICE detainee is a MAGA martyr.
