That’s about where I land. I’ve used it the other way, too, to help tighten up a good short story I’d written where my tone and tense was all over the place.

I’ve used LLMs to write automated tests for my code, too. They’re not hard to write, just super tedious.

Oh, I am right there with you. I don’t want to write tests because they’re tedious, so I backfill with the AI at least starting me off on it. It’s a lot easier for me to fix something (even if it turns into a complete rewrite) than to start from a blank file.

I’ve used them for unit tests and it still makes some really weird decisions sometimes. Like building an array of json objects that it feeds into one super long test with a bunch of switch conditions. When I saw that one I scratched my head for a little bit.

First flight in 1903, on the moon in 1969. That’s 63 years. There are people who lived an experience where flight went from impossible to us planting a flag on a different celestial body. That’s incredible when you stop to think about it.

Himbo Hooters would also be acceptable

I switched to exclusively Kagi on my phone and it’s been a pretty pleasant experience. Not perfect, but fairly serviceable. You’re right, it’s way less cluttered. Going back to Google can sometimes be very jarring.

Hoo boy I had it going way too fast. I had it moving at 150mm/s. I very strongly suspect this is about 90% of my problem. Layer quality already seems vastly improved a few layers in at 50mm/s. I very much appreciate the insight!

I haven’t run PLA on this printer. This is actually my second one, I modded my first one to the point of unusability. Maybe starting back with PLA is a good idea.

I’ll try dropping temps and see what I get. Thank you!

I haven’t had issues with curling but the enclosure is pretty new. The room is pretty variable with temps. The windows are old and maybe a little leaky.

Word. I’ll give that a go, thank you.

They’re sequential, so the values above and below yours are valid SSNs of people born in the same hospital around the same time.

This would make it trivially easy to get access to records you shouldn’t

Worst of all and WTYP are excellent. Those are the two I’ve listened to.

I can also recommend QAA, Knowledge Fight, and Lions Led by Donkeys

I bought my Rebel EOS on EBay with a lens for under $200 I think. It’s a few years old. I spent $100 taking it in to have it professionally cleaned. It’s a fantastic little camera! I’m by no means good with it but it does everything I ask of it and then some.

I built myself a 400x400x500 CoreXY machine from scratch.

Honestly, my prints are dogshit unless I go slow, and then sometimes they’re dogshit anyway. I have found the entire exercise as one of futility and massive frustration… but I low key love fucking with it. I can’t help myself, I keep building upgrades and improvements for it. I keep sinking time and energy I don’t have (and cash that I do) into this fucking heap of shit and I can’t help but love it to pieces. It’s dumb as fuck and it’s pretty fun to work on.

Honestly the vibes are about the same for a project car. Don’t daily it or you will hate yourself, but if you put it together and tune it right, you’ll have a blast.

I have a couple from the hip actually, because America has grifting baked into it’s soul. In no particular order:

• MMS (Drinkin’ bleach)
• Crystal healing (most sellers)
• WitchTok kits (TikTok influencers selling expensive spices)
• Brain pills
• Any product peddled by a megachurch (see the Baker bucket for a great example)
• Chiropractors

As more of these come to me, I’ll try to expand the list.

Update: I can’t believe I forgot chiros! They turned themselves into a religion at one point to try to dodge medical licensure laws.
