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. :)
Seems like it's just a thing a person vibe coded yesterday.
Still perhaps cool, but very different than what I was looking for. :)
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.
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. :)
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.
I'll try using Brain Sandwich as guidance for less technical folk.
Oxide continues to be one of the most inspiring companies in the space, I was just encouraging someone to apply there yesterday. :)
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.
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?
It's a pretty straightforward problem statement, they didn't really need to outsource the writing.
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.
