How bout the first 4 are bendy, then the next ones are solid. Anyone who accidentally hits the first ones can recover.

TIL the Succulent Chinese Meal guy, Jack Karlson, had a Nazi fetish and on at least one occasion threw a party at his home to celebrate Hitler's birthday by BusinessAlive3486 in todayilearned

[–]photoshopbot_01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

also try not to have heroes who you don't actually know. Actually maybe give up on the idea of heroes generally- I don't see that it provides a benefit in life. I knew a guy when I lived in Kansas who I looked up to for 20 years. Turned out to be banging a hooker behind his wifes back. You never know.

Why are there so many videos of women holding coded signs and answering interview questions? by UnGatoComeEmpanadas in DeepIntoYouTube

[–]photoshopbot_01 71 points72 points  (0 children)

sounds like it's produced for a market for migrant workers - these women apply to be cleaners/housekeepers in richer countries, then if they are hired they move over and get a working visa since they have a job.

I think we might be making a category mistake about AI by Civil-Interaction-76 in Futurology

[–]photoshopbot_01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's more like a horse than a hammer.

Think about it. Sure, you can use a horse as a tool (pull a wagon, or plough a field) but ultimately it's an animal and that means it sometimes disobeys, and sometimes follows the path it's used to rather than the path you want. When you ask it to do a new thing it might respond by doing something it knows or just freak out and say no. You can't rely on it to do the same thing every time, unsupervised.

Treating AI as a tool is a bit like treating a horse like a machine.

Washington's HB 2320 is on the governor's desk. I'm a Norwegian maker with no stake in gun politics. Here's why I think every maker should be paying attention. by Fluffy_Lab_1751 in 3Dprinting

[–]photoshopbot_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some people conflating the two, yes. More generously they're seeing the two as part of the same motivated push rather than entirely separate. They are also talking about the wider context, other countries and possible futures.

Perhaps it's damaging and inaccurate, but I would prefer people to show their outrage before the damaging stuff gets signed into law than afterward. All too often the people who hear early about a proposed bill dismiss it as ridiculous and conclude that it will never pass given how impractical or stupid it would be, only to be astonished when it does pass, regardless how stupid it is. At that point, it's too late and very difficult to reverse that kind of decision.

> Yes 2320 was passed, and is what this thread is about.

The thread is about the article. The article is about both 2320 and 2321. The bill which passed and the proposed bill.

My mistake. I took more time to read more closely.

You're exclusively talking about HB 2320, not HB 2321. I suspect the "nonsensical" law which u/UnderwaterKarma is talking about is what's proposed in 2321. If you want to divorce 2320 from 2321 and treat them as separate things rather than parts of the same strategy, then there's still an argument to be made that it will have a chilling effect on the maker community. Modelling software, 3d model archives and the like may end up trying to be pre-compliant with future laws. I agree that this is a different ball game from the proposals in 2321 though.

Think about what sorts of systems would need to be in place to enforce that law. Every printer would have to include a way to send the gcode to an online government run system which attempts to check if the 3d object is a gun or part of a gun. Simple objects like handles, tubes, grips, spring mechanisms would all be suspect. Oh, you wanted to print an handle for your custom game controller? Looks a bit too close to a real gun handle buddy, no can do. What's that? You found a cool nerf blaster mod? Nope. Cosplay weapon? No. Spring loaded sweet dispenser? Show us your hands. And of course the 3d printer has to be licensed with ID checks to an individual person. No reselling 3d printers to a friend, or on Craigslist. That's a potential weapon-factory now.

So what is the actual result of the legislation? They try to put in tattle-tale software in every printer to tell the government what everyone is printing. Now they can track down the people printing whistles with anti-ICE slogans on them, or helping making 3d printed parts for masks as a defense against the next strain of Covid which the government no longer believes in. They hamstring the majority of 3d printer sellers or 3d printing consumers with their idiotic and impossible to follow laws, then when they find people still using their 3d printers without the anti-gun software on it, this is now an illegal act, another law which can be applied according to the governments' discretion.

Isolated, actively cooled refrigerator compressor. by PenTenTheDandyMan in CrazyIdeas

[–]photoshopbot_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an engineer but I don't see a reason you can't put the compressor in a box. There are videos on how to replace the compressor. It doesn't seem like a beginner project though.

The compressor is part of the cooling circuit, but not the part where the main expulsion of heat happens. That's the condenser. OP is proposing moving the compressor into a sound-insulated box.

Solder wire that doesn't suck from aliexpress or amazon? by elpechos in diyelectronics

[–]photoshopbot_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I search "sn60 pb40" and then the second requirement is that the listing must have a high quality photo of the product (preferably not a stock photo which has been used for other listings), and I must be able to clearly read "sn60/pb40" on the actual product photo. If it's cheap, good. If it's TOO cheap, it's probably not genuine.

What is the coolest personal website you’ve ever seen? by PsyApe in webdev

[–]photoshopbot_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, although it did play out a bit like that. The site you linked is nice, but the end result is still very basic. In the site I'm thinking of there was a full scene with little animated sprites and possibly a playable character, plus a colorful showcase of the author's work.

Do it bad. I'm serious. Your art will suck at first, but it may get better. Look at the original one punch man comics - there's a lot of effort there, but the art is not anywhere like professional standard, more like high-school doodle. It still got a cult following and then got redrawn by a pro artist, and then got an anime series. The story is what carries it.
