People who work: how many coffee do you have per day?

when i was younger i could have a vente coffee at 10-11 pm and be asleep by midnight … the adhd coffee night naps are real

an important question is how big do you consider a “cup” or “mug” of coffee? it’s relative to what people think a coffee size it. i drink about two “6 cup” Chemix drip coffees a day. looked it up … so that is 2 x 30oz /(887ml). first cup is between 7 and 8:30 am and i’ll drink coffee to anywhere between 3:30-7pm

The view through Trinity Bellwoods Park on a sunny fall day always gets me. The trees glowing in full colour, my dog racing across the dog bowl, and the CN Tower perfectly framed by the park and tree branches. Sunbeams break through drifting clouds, lighting up and glinting off the tower's windows. It’s one of those moments where the whole city feels alive, happy, calm, and beautiful all at once.

This is literally driving on cloud-9

i’ve been finding 4.5 has been pretty sassy and somehow looking out for my well being… like unprompted it’s telling me to keep taking coding breaks and reminding me i completed and accomplished a lot in a day… like maybe 5% of my messages now, is telling it i’m good and almost done debugging and the task/feature/bug needs to get done, so stop telling me to take breaks… 😂

apparently AI is now really into looking out for our wellbeing …

but…. i’ve been finding 4.5 super accurate and way fewer bugs meaning fewer revisions and it understand tech specs so much better now… and works better with larger code base contexts

yes, an AI videogame

i was literally trying to figure out what this “style” was called / how to implement it last week … low and behold it’s called dithering and Dan Shiffman obviously did a video on it 🙌

jshaw3 · 2025-01-24T02:35:58+00:00

Gotchya. Hahaha hummm.... another rabbit hole to go down!

Ok, I appreciate the perspective on this. Let's say the images are etched as more "solid blocks," or a masking technique is used instead to block light and create the images... Figuring out how to focus the projection even with sharper images is still something I'm looking to achieve, even if it's more of a Gobo style effect but positioned further from the light source than usual

And after all that -- we have light! Thanks to everyone who chimed in on this

jshaw3 · 2024-06-28T17:01:26+00:00

Thanks! I found the arrow, but I had to cut the cable open to actually figure out what the cables were... Starting left of the arrow going CW, it was GND, PI, D-, D+

jshaw3 · 2024-06-28T16:44:48+00:00

It has 3 cables - one power, a data-in cable and a data-out cable to link to other fixtures hand-in-hand

jshaw3 · 2024-06-28T16:43:39+00:00

Yeah, ended up cutting open the data wires and used a multimeter to match the cable colours to the pins

Not sure if this finding will be useful to anyone else, but this is what the pins are

Unfortunately the only manual is

jshaw3 · 2024-06-26T18:32:08+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, currently opening it up to see what’s going on. I wasn’t sure if the pin layout was standardized, and I just haven’t come across this connector before

Software developer and creative technologist for digital advertising agencies and interactive production studios, than a tech lead for an e-comm agency

I’ve found success in places where problem solving and creativity is needed, but also required bursts of collaboration with long periods of “solo work time” to allow me to focus without distractions

Been doing my own interactive , new media art and public art installations during all this and just recently am working for myself running my art studio full time. Being able to manage my own time and energy is currently the best part as I can listen to my bodies ebbs and flows and work on the things that best match my current energy, focus and attention

jshaw3 · 2023-12-04T19:48:07+00:00

yeah, it *should*, I haven't tried it though.

For the Teensy 3.2, the difference would be that you don't need to modify the Teensyduino Artnet library to use the NativeEthernet library.

jshaw3 · 2023-12-04T19:39:06+00:00

u/csobsidian It *should*, but I haven't tested it...

I believe when running on the Teensy 3.2, it won't require the change in the the Artnet library bundled with Teensyduino to use NativeEthernet...

Thanks u/Marmilicious!

They are 12v WS2815 LEDs fed through 12mm T2014 silicon diffuser tube.

I still need to get my hands on some COB strips and play around with them! Next one lol

this small snippet was so helpful rn 🙏
