Ender-3 V2 3D Printer, Is it any good?
  • Ender3 is an outstanding entry point to the 3d printing hobby. It's open source hardware, so no other printer has cheaper parts. And may be the most common 3d printer, so plentiful modification options and tutorials.

  • Poll shows how residents feel about a capital gains tax just for Seattle
  • I feel like doing it at the city level would encourage rich people to have an "empty" house in Seattle and their "residence" as a second home elsewhere in the state.

    I wonder if there is a good proposal to address this sort of gaming.

    Is there anything I can do locally (on a standard residential lot) to improve the particulate pollution (~PM2.5) levels outdoors around my house? (and possibly my neighbors' too?)

    What are the effects of trees/plants on PM2.5 pollution? Are there plants that catch more? Do damp leaves catch more?

    Does watering plants with a mist pull extra microparticles out of the air vs a stream? (if so, Do plants mind or benefit from the extra stuff in their water?)

    Are there any "permaculture" solutions for air filtration? Could a filter caked with pm2.5 black carbon and whatnot be useful for anything else? Can I manufacture a filter that will reduce pm2.5 using home grown plant materials?

    What if I converted a wall of my shed into all filtration material, made it airtight, and pushed air out the other side of the shed under solar power? How would 100sqft of filter give flexibility of filter media?

    If I made a giant/parallelized bong in my backyard that constantly pulled air through water to try to catch microparticles, how big would it have to be to have an appreciable effect?

    [VIDEO] Baubotanik shapes living tree branches into building facades

    Interesting projects studying live tree graft joinery techniques - how to guide tree growth into structures with engineered utility.

    You can buy the active ingredient in tums, calcium carbonate, in its pure form for a fraction of the cost.
  • Make super sure it's food grade!

    There is no such thing as 100% purity. When stuff is sold in bulk for other purposes - there are contaminants that are irrelevant to the use. Calcium carbonate is used in agriculture, construction, sanitation... Etc.

    Bulk chems can sometimes be contaminated with heavy metals or other toxins. Eating that daily could be very bad for your health. If you're going to consume it, make sure you get food grade!

  • Future LLMs will be progressively worse - and possibly change how humans write
  • I've heard this theory. Feels like unrealistic hopeful wishes of people who want AI to fail.

    LLM processing will be a huge tool for pruning and labeling training sets. Humans can sample and validate the work. These better training sets will produce better LLMs.

    Who cares is a chunk of text was written by a human or not? Plenty of humans are shit writers who believe illogical or clearly incorrect things. The idea that human origin text is superior is a fantasy. chatGPT is a better writer than 80% of humans todat. In 10 years LLMs will be better than 99.9% of humans. There is no poison to be avoided.

    chatGPT has an apparent style when used in the default mode, but you can already get away from that with simple prompt tweaks. This whole thing is a non-issue.

  • So ... how are we going to interact with our reddit siblings?
  • We should copy content from reddit, but label it "repost from 4chan", so they have to try to crawl 4chan archives to see if the content was actually first posted on Reddit

    make it expensive for them to claim ownership of UGC

    1 year into my food forest

    Started my food forest last spring.

    • Put down cardboard and covered in alder woodchips
    • Planted a couple each of grape, blueberries, olive, marionberry, sichuan peppercorn, green tea - basically trying things out and seeing what works in my climate

    Was pleasantly surprised when I got out there this year, and everything made it through the winter! (Albeit some appears to be a popular graze with the deer - could slow growth down a lot if I don't protect soon)

    Pulling weeds out of sheetmulched woodchips is great - so easy even though the soil underneath is overly compacted clay sand.

    Factorio got controller support in todays update
  • Factorio is amazing and dangerous. Its a game where there are lots of choices between useful things you could be doing at any time, so its easy to start playing and poof 'aww geez is that the sun rising?'

  • What are you favorite Movies or TV Shows you've pirated recently?
  • I love the good place!

    If you like slapstick comedies, id recommend Robin Hood Men In Tights. Maybe Blazing Saddles, but it has aged questionably - parts are pretty racist but at least the racists are portrayed as stupid and evil
