Thanks, appreciate the ideas here! Didn't know resin would/could be brittle. Will look into that :)

Ender v3 plus on matte PLA filament and 0.12 layer heights seems to be what have yielded the best result for me, but layer lines are definitely still visible.

The feel to the touch and the sound it makes (ex: sliding parts) is definitively another gripe I have.

Thanks! Some details in there I didn’t hear before like dealing with failed prints.

I have a big interest in this; I have been making a lot of electronics as of late due to LLMs being so capable!

For instance, I wanted to buy a smart device to control my mini-split and it was 160$ on amazon for 1. Well I built 5 for 80$ in a weekend (excluding the 7 days shipping from China).

I'm very much looking for someone convince me not to buy this? Seems like people don't enjoy resin because it's a tad messy and it has a ~10-30 curing process.

Yet all parts from my FDM printer feels cheap and looks like nothing I'd be happy to buy unless I spend HOURS sanding and painting.

Incredible. Any luck in having a model that's multimodal in the future?

I keep seeing Astra make beautiful 3d stuff online, yet when I feed it some old school RuneScape assets (even tried with some very detailed guidelines) and asked it to generate some new plausible assets it failed horribly.

I think there’s still something really off with current (frontier) models when it comes to creating “novel” stuff? Even 2004 style graphics..

Or am promoting it wrong?

I have! Testing it on a few projects that I ended stuck on a specific set of problems.

So far it seems better at understand what my intent/the scope of the change I want to make?

Hopefully not just a fluke! I really like working bit by bit through iterations rather than doing a mega plan and executing. I tried muse 1.3 today and it was the worst offender of this. Just spamming extra validation/inferring behaviour I didn't (not yet) want.

When I was a kid my mom had a daycare and had access to a program where she could buy older and used desktops at a discount.

I loved installing different operating systems on them and try to customize it. Better window management, better animations, nicer colours etc.

Of course, the results were always marginally better or worse than the stock version of that distribution.

Seems as this is the case for Omarchy here as well.

Regardless of what instructions I put it to try to be terser and all, I still find that the output is of much lower quality.

Even if it uses little words, I often find the reasoning that is quite challenging to understand rather than it was if it was a regular human or colleague that would just explain me something.

Any tips here?

I really wanted to Lisp as a main programming language, and sometimes I still do.

I just find readability such a hurdle regardless of how long I used it. I didn't find that it ever became as natural as the other group of programming languages.

I find a procedural style of programming so much easier to reason about, both when writing and reading.

Either way, I'm really happy I took some time to learn it and use it a little at some point.

Aren't you paid to think?

No idea, seems like a much better fit :shrug:

I love how beautiful and creative the website header is while being a fragment of what it does. Fantastic work!

Lovely 3D header animation! Fits incredibly well with the posts content :)
