Keep sharing the tapes.
A cranky biologist who means well. My hobbies include long walks off short piers and anything science related.

I finally got a widget I modeled in OpenSCAD to print correctly in my resin printer. The shape is such that supports were really challenging.
It’s interesting to me because I have graduated from the ‘tchotchkes’ phase of printing into the realm of making functional parts that further my other projects.
Trying to get Cthulu’s tentacle-beard to print correctly was a good exercise, but designing and printing a useful part feels like a real step up.
As a person raised deep in the Mormon culture in our lovely Deseret, I get it. Being bisexual and independently minded made it impossible to stay in the culture, but damnit, it is still part of who I am.
So many complex emotions that you need to use German to try to describe them.
Maybe not. You will have the same number of tax preparers chasing less work. Through the magic of the Free Market™️, shouldn’t that mean pressure to reduce prices? We can only hope.
Grooming the youth, that’s the kind of indoctrination you need. As a missionary, the only non-indoctrinated adults who got into the BoM were, let’s say, simple.
By any chance are you a fan of Strong Towns? If not they are very active in trying to kill Stroads
Whew, thanks for not being a knee-jerk about my ‘mental prosthetic’! It takes real skill and understanding, I think, to even write the pseudocode or plain language description of a working script. After all, describing the problem and the outline of the solution is usually the hardest part. Pecking out the syntax takes the bulk of the time, but if you can avoid that step, what is lost? Very little in my experience.
I’ve begun collecting an assortment of custom python and shell script utilities to accomplish routine or one-off tasks for which system utilities don’t exist. You bet you are still learning when doing it this way. After all, you have to understand the code well enough to tell if the output is what you need.
Gwynne Shotwell deserves quite a lot more credit for SpaceX than Musk. Someone has to keep the place running until the ketamine clears his system.
I agree.
Does it count if one uses an LLM to help compose the shell script? I mean, I can and have written gnarly scripts by hand but it can take half an hour to work out a single line sometimes for a simple task versus 10 minutes describing it in plain language.
I do wish it was more common to realize there is no wrong way to dance (except inadvertently injuring your partner, I guess). It’s your body, wiggle it the way you want
Move over bacon. Now there’s something meatier!
That’s exactly right, you have to know enough about the subject to smell a bullshit answer.
It’s great as a mental prosthetic. When I am tackling a new complex topic like say a new cloud platform I’m learning, i can test my understanding of the implications of a change to the console settings. I tell it what i think and ask it to check my understanding. Really speeds up my learning, but I don’t rely on it exclusively. I will write my own dang emails, thank you.
Lars and the Real Girl. It sounds like a risible premise that is actually super human and skillfully executed.
Nothing, it’s inherently part of the design of ActivityPub.
Thank you for the pointers. It was a sincere request and the literature somewhat scattered.
Interesting enough, Morgan’s widow became one of Joseph Smith’s plural wives. It’s a small country.
