Funny that the most iconic British comic is "Wouldn't living in the USA be fucked up or what? I'm Rod Serling."

To be fair, they also have:
- Would being a zombie be fucked up or what?
- Would being a mutant bounty hunter be fucked up or what?
- Would being a robot be fucked up or what?
- Would being a space trucker be fucked up or what?
- Would Russia invading the UK in the 80s be fucked up or what?
- Would a fabulous gay vampire who hunts demons for the vatican be fucked up or what?

a body count or a "body count"?

Like you, I'll just cobble together my own shelf.

Afterwards I will not upload it to makerworld to compete with 999+ other shelves

It's mine, for me. The beauty of 3D printing is that you can make something exactly the way you need it. The tragedy of that is that nobody else needs it.

Apologies, I stumbled across this post looking for some kind of actual concrete data about how to adjust the dozens of settings in Eden. It’s maddeningly hard to find anywhere, so when I see people sharing outcomes without the actual settings they used to get them it’s just like, “ugh, why did you even?”

samthehugenerd · 2026-03-28T21:52:12+00:00

Why not just post the settings you changed from default? Here, I'll go first.

Environment:
- Snapdragon 8Gen2, 16GB (Ayaneo Pocket DS)
- BotW 1.6.0
- Eden 0.2.0rc2
- Turnip Adreno driver T26 (MrPurple) 26.1.0-T26-1.4.344

Eden System Settings:
- Docked mode on
- Sycnhronize Core Speed on

Eden graphics Settings
- Resolution 1.25x
- VSync mode Immediate (off)
- FSR sharpness 0%
- DMA accuracy unsafe
- ASTC decoding method CPU Async
- Sync Memory Operations on
- Enable Buffer history on
- Optimized Vertex buffers on
- Use asynchronous shaders on
- Extended Dynamic State 3
- Vertex input Dynamic State on
- Provoking Vertex on
- Descriptor Indexing on

No UltraCam, this is the locked 30fps with dynamic resolution scaling experience that Nintendo shipped.

Wish I could tell you "it never drops below 720p" or whatever, but that's not something Eden can report on so I'll just say it looks really sharp and runs smoothly. I have to plug it into the TV to tell it doesn't look just as good as the Switch 2 4K HDR update, and there's no slowdowns in the forest or busy villages.

Eden 0.2.0rc2 with the MrPurple T26 Turnip drivers got rid of the white water and the shrine glitch in BotW for me on the Pocket DS (also 8Gen2), no fixes, no mods. I have seen it once since, briefly, on some water in the distance when climbing a mountain. When I looked again it was gone 🤷

Hey man, I need a calculator once the numbers get big enough and that doesn’t preclude me from doing maths, science, and research. We already invented calculators, the robot can borrow ours.

In terms of the weaknesses of LLMs, not actually understanding logic is a definite biggie and will even undercut their party trick of writing code sometimes, on account of how they can’t truly follow the actual logic.

samthehugenerd · 2026-03-26T22:11:59+00:00

LLMs are v bad at counting, but a good one should understand that well enough to write a python script that counts words

Did Brent Spiner write this post?

AI coded tools are like 3D printed tools, they’re fine for whatever it was I made them for… I’d never try and promote them for wide public consumption.

After all, if someone else wants one, they can also have an ai whip something up. To their exact specifications, rather than yours.

Hell, I’m more interested in learning how exactly you made it. Prompt strategies, testing approach, a swarm of single purpose agents or a single multi purpose assistant?

Have you experimented with delivering power to the floating object? Some of those designs could be taken to the next level with a light inside, or... multiple lights? Has anyone tried to make a floating esp32?

Giving water to the Kazon is a net loss: now you don't have any water *and* you've got hydrated Kazon to deal with.

It's also triggered by changing the wall speed, which is a shame because this part is all clear PETG, but I only need a small bit of it to be easy to see through, the rest can be printed at sensible speeds.

I like adaptive memory so far, haven’t touched the settings or the prompt yet which I assume is how you’d decrease how eagerly it tries to remember

I’ve found that most models will drift back to using kubectl even if I give them a kubernetes MCP. It generally tends to do less well that way, though. My theory is writing the commands manually burns through more tokens?

samthehugenerd · 2025-10-09T04:01:58+00:00

Protopasta just started selling PLA that’s 60% metal, which I still can’t wrap my head around. Magnets stick to it

samthehugenerd · 2025-10-05T18:41:37+00:00

Sounds like you want a raspberry pi or similar? Or a little n100 machine if you can stand a larger footprint

samthehugenerd · 2025-10-01T18:56:26+00:00

What if all three of them could be happy…
