Stl Text Lab Update

I’m building out a set of tools for 3d printing. Things that I have not found out there yet, they may exist, they may not. The first was Posts tagged: caps. Now I’m taking the core of that project and starting a new one. Not sure if it counts as an update when I have had a lack of really posting about it. putting text on stl
My Mechanical Keyboards My KBDFans DZ65RGB: Custom build, see full built My Kinesis Advantages 2: Ergonomic (Find How I Lubed and Dampered the keyboard) Simon Späti · ssp.sh These are absolutely lovely. They look like they are ready to really get some work done. The Ducky is a little heavy on the gamer side for me looks wise, too much flash, not enough gas.

politics in linux

IDK if I agree with DHH on politics, have not gone looking for his views, don't really care to. I can 100% get behind leaving politics out of work, foss, linux. Until he starts dropping that omarchy money on some non-oss linux manner I'm with it. I don't think there is a world in which you can completely disassociate yourself with everyone that has a different viewpoint than yourself. There will always be things that simply don't align with your lived experiences and that is okay.

when did openai bring back the hourly limit

Here I am cranking away with luna==max== tokenmaxxing on my **$20** plus sub trying to keep 3 running around the clock to burn those precious tokens when open ai comes back and re-introduces the 5 hour limit, I just got used to rocking only a weekly limit.
A quote from Linus Torvalds And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work. I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net Will models become more stubborn as we use them more and feed us using them as long running agents where we simply ask for what seems to be an impossible task to be spit out by the almighty clanker with all of the time in the world to try every way possible, add obnoxious amounts of telemetry, and somehow digest the flood of data it brings back?

second brain slop is dumb

The second brain hype train of people looking at fancy graphs in obsidian of the content their clanker wrote for them is top tier cringe. If you actually want to get better at anything you need to actually put some effort in with your first brain.
Stop Making TUIs Thomas Ptacek advocates for building real native user interfaces for even the smallest of personal tools, because coding agents have reduced the cost of getting a usable-enough GUI up and … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net Hard to argue this so hard here. For me it’s convenience. I work from a terminal. Most things that are real work get done there, so this provides a convenient proximity to real work. If it’s a developer tool for me to use alongside development work I prefer a tui if it can be done in a text interface. CLIs are different. CLIs provide a great interface into automation, scripting, agent use, interop from two things no one else uses together. Alternatively to the argument for agents making real user interfaces easy I’m going to argue if that’s the case you should have your backend logic hooked into all the interfaces a user could want, CLI, TUI, HTML, and REST/HTTP API. I honestly feel like the training data for a good tui just isn’t there and agents default to making bad TUIs.

Bed adhesion options in caps.
Cracked Caps
I learned that my caps were set to interface fit and most crack on install. Making the + pattern bigger makes them easier to get on and actually hold tighter.

agentic engineering takes discipline

Agents allow so much scope creep it is harder to say no than it is to say yes, and let the model just pop in a new feature for you alongside your current PR with almost no effort on your behalf, stacking up so much validation work for you to do that it becomes very difficult to merge. We are all learning this discipline right now.
Hard agree with Theo, terminals suck to use on a phone. Unless you have an attached keyboard they are unusable IMHO. t3 code ad https://youtu.be/dLhcLqoff6k?t=1354&is=xDCw0PpqH2zkZDou This part of the pitch is fantastic. I think most of the people I talk to can relate to being unsure about when to start work because you want to keep your agents working. My morning process generally includes walking around tmux greeting all of my agents that were working hard last night and unblocking them to get them going for the day. Before even opening team chat, but after checking status pages that’s #1. My going home routine now has to start about an hour before I leave questioning whether I should start a session or not.
