Cloud compute was attractive to 3d rendering for a while, as you could put your non urgent renders on the cloud at the lowest priority and take advantage of off peak pricing. Now model training demand has wiped out off peak pricing and forced the cloud rendering cost way higher than rendering locally.
Ikea’s line of matter bulbs and devices are showing up in stores now.
Good quality firmware and electronics at close to aliexpress prices.
Eugh, you can see noris hugging everyone before being weighed, but tried to slide under MBS’s out stretched arm and got pulled back in for a hug
Max himself admitted that “everything went red” when he crashed into George out of frustration in Spain. By that logic he cost himself the championship.
Just as crazy as the drivers, is Merc taking second in the constructors too. Just so many top 5 finishes racking up a steady haul of points.
When the cost to generate new code has become so cheap,and the cost of devs maintaining code they didn’t write gets higher. There’s a huge shift happening to just throw out the code and regenerate it instead. Next year will be the find out phase, where the massive decline in code quality catches up with big projects.
Max overcooks turn 1, comes back on track way ahead, gets let off by the FIA, and wins another wdc in dubious circumstances.
I asked it for some OfficeScript to copy the current tab in excel rename it with this week’s date and set a few cells to the current date too. It gave me a 3 page script for the TV show The Office.
The cost will come down further with scale. The great thing about that is that dead lithium batteries will have value, so people will be much less inclined to throw them in the trash or dump them elsewhere
May the bridges you burn light your way through the world.
Why are they so light? Do they way less than high rated 18650 cells would be for the rated capacity? If so they are probably inflating the rating. As is shockingly common for no name powerbanks. There are very minimal usb boards you can load 18650s into, or attach quad copter cells to, 3d print your own minimal case that suits your needs with the highest capacity and quality cells you can afford.

Awesome to hear that! I’ve only half been paying attention to the Connect channel
Connect is good for me, don’t know what the situation with the dev is though, seems like development might have stopped
Love it, had me bopping along.
Main comment would to look at song structure and phrasing. ie, thinking in blocks of 16 bars for the major segments of your track. You could sit with each theme for a full 16 bars make it a 5 min track without anything really new. Dropping down to the hats and snare section around 1.20 can be twice as long before rushing into the build.
That full build is nice, but build right back into a ‘chorus’ with the vocals and the highest part of your track. That section you go into at 2.15 feels more like a runout at the end, switch that round with the vocals first, and then the instrumental to end.
The second half has some nice twiddly sweeps and hints that a change is coming. But in the first half, most of the changes are quite abrupt between major sections. eg. when the drums drop in and the tune drops out at the same time. When the vocals are in you have a nice FM static type punctuation of every 4 bars. More of that kind of thing for a major shift! EDM goes overboard with them but used sparingly they make a track easier to listen to. Deadmou5 on some of his livestreams in the studio talks about them a lot. either a muted drum roll into the change, a simple filter sweep, dropping out a couple of drum channels for half a bar, an increasing echo, or many many other little fiddly bits to carry you over the change.
Small house, I use zigbee directly with the zbt1 and it’s great
I know some people really love home assistant, but not thaaaat much!
Just as satisfying when you print something with several parts and the tolerance is right first time. You hear all about people printing several prototype parts to dial in the design. Nothing to make you feel like a design king by first print mic drop.
We all know who his boss is
It will only affect it materially if they cross where the light is converged / infocus. So if you put a big piece of paper where the wires are, the image will be blurred. So if you look at the wires from the focal point, they are also blurred enough to be able to see what’s behind them
