As someone who got into FDM printing about a year ago, and still finds it very exciting, this is a really compelling resin printer. It's priced very well for the capabilities, especially in terms of providing everything a beginner might need to be comfortable with resin printing.

That said, I just noticed Costco online has some FDM stuff, which I think is a pretty exciting development, so if I have any money to spend on 3d printing stuff in the near future, I'll probably spend it there. :)

I looked at this because I thought it was something MIT released after years of study.

Seems like it's just a thing a person vibe coded yesterday.

Still perhaps cool, but very different than what I was looking for. :)

This seemed like a high possibility, but since our adoption of LLMs in software so far has mostly been to throw out best practices, I am skeptical that it will lead us to expanded verification.

It's like Bezos talking about how we're going to have 3 day work weeks while he makes his employees piss in a bottle.

They have "connectors" you can configure for a variety of services, and both specific external tools and custom webhooks: https://tailscale.com/docs/aperture/integrate

I'm building a "bring your own data" layer for agentic work of all sorts, using the webhook method for now.

In the context of Aperture, I watch for agents looking for certain types/sources of data, and instead provide them with an in-tailnet API for accessing that data.

In a personal context, think email, calendar events, music playlists, fitness app records, transactions. I've also found it useful in a professional context, but I think I need to explore that a fair bit more.

It keeps credentials out of agents hands, and provides some relatively standard ways for controlling what agents can see and change.

I need a fair bit of hardening work before I try to get random folk to use it, but I might post something more here in the next week. :)

Tailscale makes Aperture available for free, and while it's not something you own, it is in your tailnet, so at least you have a certain amount of control over how things access it. It gives a nice view of what agents are doing, with lots of configurability and extensions, and the team behind it has been updating pretty steadily.

I happen to be working on an extension to Aperture, so I have my own reason to promote it. But I do think it's a nice easy solution, and I promoted it to people before I was extending it.

The basic concept here, that you take personal responsibility for the input and output being transmitted to/from the LLM, is an obvious but critical one, so I appreciate this terminology as a way to convey it.

I'll try using Brain Sandwich as guidance for less technical folk.

I did not like how this handled scrolling, made my navigation feel constrained. Maybe I was supposed to use the keyboard to navigate? It doesn't seem particularly clear.

Sounds like a great company raising money for the right reasons.

Oxide continues to be one of the most inspiring companies in the space, I was just encouraging someone to apply there yesterday. :)

As someone in a protracted stretch of unemployment who has watched job seeking get distinctly worse over the last decade, I LOVE that you are doing this, and would be delighted to help it succeed in some way. I'm not sure I'm exactly the person for either role, but I'll take a closer look at the approach so far.

I've been on the management side for a while now, but a lot of my hands-on coding relates to data transformation and integration testing, which seems like it would fit nicely with the core needs of the product.

I don't think it's properly understood how directly Trump's administration is using taxpayer money to inflate the AI bubble. This is a small part of that.

As a means to grift directly, but also for leverage over the tech industry, and possibly the entire economy.

People hate data centers, but if they think AI regulation will crash the economy, will they vote Trump?

This was my first article where the AI-isms cancelled my reading attempt.

It's a pretty straightforward problem statement, they didn't really need to outsource the writing.

As someone looking to exfiltrate my photos from Google, I'm about to trial Immich, and I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Sounds like it's a good next step for me.

I've also been building something like this, and browsing spekk-cli, it's interesting to see that we ended up with similar roles. Might be fun to compare and contrast a couple of these systems. :)

Neat! I've been trying out their next model for the last week, which I assume is a version of this, and it's been a good experience so far.

I had used 2.5-pro for a hefty chunk of development, and found it to work like a somewhat forgetful senior engineer who was new to my project. Very capable, would almost always choose a reasonable option, if not always the best one for the project, and not great at multi-tasking. Generally, made me comfortable not scrutinizing the code line-by-line, but still needed a bit of steering once projects got to a reasonable size.

The next model is a clear step up in the multi-tasking capability at least, with me very rarely having to steer the implementation of a well-defined issue. In terms of code, I found MiMo-V.2.5-pro to be extremely conservative, implementing minimal solutions. The next model seems a little bit more ambitious, in positive ways, making good guesses about gaps/next steps. It also seems to be a fair bit better at design, at least for the little bit I've done, it was good at translating my concepts to practical elements on screen, and cleaned things up nicely as I made suggestions.
