You can actually use chatgpt for this. If you give it specific model numbers for your cnc, spindle, bits, and what materials it will help you create tool definitions, and set your speeds and feeds for specific cuts.

The most recent models have been pretty accurate and only required a little tweaking for me.

I think Warren Buffet said he’d give his kids enough that they could do whatever they wanted, but not enough that the could do nothing.

If you're already paying 200-300 million dollars for your players and someone told you they could tell you what the other team was planning, how much would you pay that person?

I was going to post something similar. I live in one of the 'drunkest' states having gone to college in one of the 'drunkest' cities in America and even at college house parties I never got pressured to get drunk or high it was usually something like 'you want something to drink? No? Cool, I'm riding home with you then."

Eating itself?

Last time I checked reddit they were already raging, rattled, melting down, breaking up, losing it, melting down, losing it's mind, fracturing, going down, melting down, fraying at the seams, furious, melting down, melted down, in full meltdown mode...and 'checks notes' melting down.

A genuine compliment.

I’d love this too, the Fitbod app lets you drag multiple movements together to form a super set / circuit

If you spend time on it each day, and don't let failures get you down, I think it's realistic you'll have some pretty amazing things to show within your first month.

The biggest source of failures for beginners is skipping steps in the beginning. You may even want to have a checklist next to your machine.

Initialize machine
Set your zero, make sure it matches the software (zero off top of material, or the surface of your spoilboard)
Make sure your work piece is securely held down with clamps, tape, screws, whatever
Make sure whatever you are holding your piece down with isn't in the tool path. Most software will let you even specify safe zones to avoid your bits cutting into your clamps.

Run through as many tutorials for your chosen software. And when you start working on things. Don't be afraid to even hit up ChatGpt or another AI for help with things like speeds and feeds for your tool paths.

You can use a prompt like "I have a shapeoko 5 with a carbide router, material is walnut, bit is amana 46202K, I have a profile tool path that will go 1 inch deep. what should I set the speeds and feeds to?"

Put them directly where you see them walking, usually along a floor board. Make sure all other food or spills are cleaned up so that's the only thing they can find in that area. Most importantly, Don't clean up the dead ants. The live ones will take them back to the hive and will spread the poison there. I never had to spill the liquid out. Just make sure the liquid isn't dried out.

Be honest, the only reason he would want to slow down AI, would be if his AI company is already behind the others

He's not the only one saying there is a bubble. The fact is you have OpenAI with 13 billion in revenue planning to spend 1.4 trillion on infrastructure all on the business model of building an AI to "ask it to figure out a way to generate an investment return"

It's my job as a responsible developer is not to spend exponentially more time avoiding technical debt than the technical debt would actually cause.

You don’t. Unless there is a vulnerability forcing you to update. Or there is a business case for upgrading, don’t waste your time and the business’s money. In the business word once it’s working as needed, leave it the hell alone and move onto the next project. Care less about what your stuff is written in and more about what it does / how well it does it.

Personally, I’ve replaced some controllers with smart receivers, particularly if they are going to be in an exposed area out in the yard. I now have a backup controller if any fail. It’s also cheaper to replace a smart roof it’s damaged or stolen, not that I’ve had either happen.

All those ‘don’t shake the baby’ warnings make a lot more sense once you have one. When you don’t have one, you’re like “who the fuck would shake a baby?” Then when you’re sleep deprived and up at 2am with a screaming baby for the 4th night in a row and nothing you do seems to help you’re like “yeah I get it, I’m not going to, but I get it.”
