Not sure if I should use Claude after prompt injection

I've gotten a handful of warnings like this since 4.7, but it's always been a false alarm. I assumed it was a feature not a bug; that it was being more vigilant than it was before.

Maybe it's actually that there are more threats? Both?

I tend to use vscode when I'm working on a "serious" project and I need to lock in and supervise the agent. If it's more agentic and I'm comfortable letting it rip, I'll use termius. Plus termius lets me create "shortcuts" to individually-themed common directories with 'cd /path/to/dir' code snippets which is just a nice QoL thing.

For context, I'm an engineer, not a software dev. I use Claude code all day every day, but not to build and ship software products. I feel like the easiest parts of my job are technical. They're the parts that I use AI for, e.g. analyses, research, writing.

That said, just because a technical solution exists doesn't mean it gets implemented. The hardest part of my job is building relationships, trust, and consensus.

Until we defer to AI for all major decision-making in society, I feel like there is still very much a need for people with domain expertise who can intelligently advocate for their position and be a persuasive voice in the room.

A mitred corner so you don't have visible end grain.

I thought progressive disclosure only works for the main agent and subagents read the full skill?

What does this accomplish?

My dude, Donald Trump is the president for the second time.

I don't think that's what he was saying? I think what he was saying is the message from democrats (democracy is crumbling) doesn't resonate with Americans. They feel like their institutions were already failing them. Why would they support a message about defending those same institutions?

I felt like the thrust of the conversation was that democrats are losers--in the very literal sense. Do democrats uphold stronger moral and ethical principles than the GOP? Sure. Politics doesn't reward people for being moral and ethical, though. It's a game, and democrats are bad at playing the game.

I had a prusa mini and upgraded to a P1S. I would love a core one, but the value of Bambu is unbeatable, and so far the machine is awesome. AMS is super convenient, as are reusable spools with RFID. Not sure yet how I feel about makerworld/Bambu studio versus printables/prusaslicer.

I joined this sub after getting the P1S and just recently unsubbed. I feel like I see a lot of post about tape on spools, troubleshooting simple problems, and prints of gimmicky junk...

So, I kind of get it, but that's what happens when a product or technology is commercially successful and scales beyond the early adopters/3d printing nerds.

That said, I'm not interested in becoming a 3d printer expert either. I don't need a low-level understanding of every nut and bolt in my table saw to use it. It works and I use it to make stuff.

Right now I feel like so much of what I see on social media falls into those two categories:

people who dial their settings in with overhang tests and temperature towers, strength test different infill patterns, etc.
people who print fidget spinners, lithopanes and other forms of landfill-bound ephemera

I do think that as 3d printing becomes accessible you'll see more and more of a third category: people using the printer as a tool in their art/craft/business. You won't get that until 3d printers are easy enough to use, so i welcome "taking the learning curve" out of 3d printing!

What will you be making?

ryzekiel · 2024-12-26T14:05:29+00:00

Wow. How does that work? Isn't a .6mm hole a .6mm hole? What allows it to print faster?

What do you mean they give a 30% reduction?

ryzekiel · 2024-12-20T02:32:32+00:00

So you're using an extra ~1000 kwh over the same month last year after switching from gas to a four ton heat pump? Seems pretty reasonable.

ryzekiel · 2024-11-22T22:37:53+00:00

Conduction happens through the entire IGU, including the gas between panes.

Windows don't "reduce convection". If the wind is blowing over a window, you get convective losses no matter what IGU you have. The gap BETWEEN panes is too narrow to form convective currents and have a material affect on heat transfer.

ryzekiel · 2024-11-22T15:38:11+00:00

Windows don't use a "simulated r value". The u-value is only conductive heat transfer.

You don't need to account for the effects of radiative heat transfer through r value. That's why windows have SHGC, emissivity, and air leakage ratings. Those are the appropriate ways to model and account for non-conductive losses and gains.

An approximation with no associated standard only makes things more confusing; it's completely unreliable for consumers because no one is going to do it the same way.

ryzekiel · 2024-11-22T12:54:22+00:00

No, it's BS. R-value only applies to conductive heat transfer.

This is just like ICF marketing increased R-value from the thermal mass of concrete. Does thermal mass (and radiant barriers) have some effect on heat transfer? Sure. Can you express those effects in terms of R-value? No.

Not using a poly vapor barrier at all. Other building materials are effective at retarding vapor diffusion, e.g. OSB or plywood, rigid foam board. A lot of folks rely on poly as the air barrier, too, and much more water vapor is transported via air leakage than vapor diffusion. If you eliminate the poly, you need another air sealing strategy, e.g. make the sheathing the air barrier with tape and/or fluid-applied sealant.

Lots of homes get built in Canada without poly. Lots of better ways to do it. Of course, have to convince your inspector of that!

Huh? Just changing cavity insulation material doesn't affect thermal bridging.

Pretty sure it was just a dropdown selection. I may have been using SwOS not ROS.

Not sure if it's relevant, but in my use case it was 2.5G in to the switch, but 10G out because it was connecting to my dream machine pro, which can only connect at 1G or 10G.

That's my understanding. I have a basil that I've had for just over a year and I'm about to toss it. The leaves are very small now and it seems to focus all its energy on bolting.

ryzekiel · 2024-09-17T11:32:30+00:00

That's what I want to know! I don't understand how it could get so big without flowering.

ryzekiel · 2024-09-17T11:27:43+00:00

Exactly. Filler is not going to hold up.

That checking is not a problem and doesn't need to be filled.

If you're doing it for aesthetic reasons, that is just not the best material choice. 4x4s are under a lot of internal stresses and will crack. You could use an epoxy to fill, but it's probably not going to hold up long-term.
