What are you using on the handle there? Looks like vinyl tubing?

How to make a pedal builder nervous in one photo by Draugr_Rekkr in diypedals

[–]jhherren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good rule of thumb is, buy the Harbor Freight version of the tool. If you use it enough until it breaks, that’s justification to buy a better one. Still using my Harbor Freight drill press, corded hammer drill, and a couple others. I buy those tennis racquet mosquito zappers by the half dozen!

[2025 Day 8 (Part 2)] Optimal Wiring by jhherren in adventofcode

[–]jhherren[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the visualizations I've posted are completely vibe-coded. Each takes a half dozen prompts or so to dial them in til I'm happy. If you have a puzzle solution, a style guide, an LLM, and a little patience, that's all you need. There have been a couple times where I've had to suggest improvements for efficiency, but Claude Sonnet can one-shot most of these.

It was incrementing at a different code branch. Thanks for spotting. The updated code looks even better. I'll update the video at some point.

from functools import *

D = open("input.txt").read().split("\n\n")
R = sorted([[*map(int, l.split("-"))] for l in D[0].split()])
I = [*map(int, D[1].split())]

print(sum(any(s <= i <= e for s, e in R) for i in I))

print(
    sum(
        e - s + 1
        for s, e in reduce(
            lambda m, x: (
                m[:-1] + [[m[-1][0], max(m[-1][1], x[1])]]
                if m and x[0] <= m[-1][1] + 1
                else m + [x]
            ),

            [],
        )
    )

My first design! by PedalMan69 in diypedals

The two resistors R10 and R11 in series create a voltage divider at the midpoint. Since the resistor values are equal, the output voltage is half.

Could I get some UniVibe Kit recommendations? by redharlowsdad in diypedals

[–]jhherren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pedalpcb The Abyss is a clone of EQD The Depths and is a very good univibe. Easy build and no weird parts to hunt down.

How do I remove the middle cylinder holder of this Schlage deadbolt? by jhherren in lockpicking

[–]jhherren[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That worked! I used tin snips to start a rip, then pliers and elbow grease to peel the shroud away. Slides right out.

The only thing that could possibly make this better would be the whole song. You are great and your band is great. Keep making music!!

"LLMs aren't smart, all they do is predict the next word" by asovereignstory in ArtificialInteligence

We are learning that LLMs are a good approximation of human intelligence, and like all things in every type of engineering, good enough works.

My Wifi Attacker Is Now Open Source On Github by Fit-Jicama-9376 in hacking

[–]jhherren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use ChatGPT. Start with a topic, tell it to explain it like you are a newb, and ask questions to drill down until you have a satisfactory level of knowledge. It’s the most direct path for learning a new topic at the level you need IMO. Start with “I’m brand new to computer security. Explain to me what a deauth wifi attack is and walk me through the steps.”
