There's a docker that essentially sets up a web VNC for Calibre. I do this for file conversion, DRM removal (only books I buy), etc.

Then I use Calibre-web for the OPDS server and nice web UI.

Funny enough one of the best use cases I have found has been for information retrievel then generation.

Spot on. And not just baked into the model but also extracted from the code base.

Roo + Claude can find the code I want, make flow charts, etc.

Similarly, I use it as a super search tool for my notes I take in Markdown.

And lastly, meeting transcription + custom AI summary is very helpful as a starting point.

All of these are similar in that they don't need to be 100% accurate. They're a starting point to save me time and find stuff I may have missed or forgotten. The actual decisions and brain work are done by me.

As for actual code generation, I'm not fully sold yet. I use it situationally, but no PR review will be able to tell because I make sure anything it generates is exactly how I would have written it. That sounds weird, but what I mean is I either use it as "super auto complete" for small stuff or I have it build a draft and heavily edit it until it is good code that I understand completely.

Honestly, this whole thing surprises me. I have a lot of respect for Ars Technica. I hope they clean this up and prevent further issues in the future.

I've been looking into this as well and just bought my first components.

I'm trying Meshtastic first and then will try Meshcore.

What does everybody think of Reticulum Network and RNode? It honestly seems superior conceptually to Meshtastic/Meshcore, but I'm not sure how good it is in practice or if anybody is actually using it.

KDE because I liked it when I used it and wanted it to get even better. And Lichess because it's what I wish all free services were like. I should do more.

The Music of the Ainur is a pathway to many abilities which some deem to be… unnatural.

Absolutely. When you're making a book cover, a pretty typical method is to take book board (chipboard-like material, similar to the back cover of notebooks) and glue it on book cloth or paper. Then you fold over edges of the cloth/paper. You don't need to cover the inside because that's where the actual pages of the book will be, but you need some overlap (e.g. 25mm).

But the corner is a bit tricky. If you don't trim at all, you have an extra triangle of folded paper that gets in the way. If you cut it off too close to the book board, you will see the board peeking through. So you want to cut the corner off with a little gap. And if you get the angle wrong, the fold doesn't look quite right. This jig gives both spacing and angle, and it has an added bonus of the notches to let you mark your cuts for the fold over on each side.

The first 30 seconds of this video illustrate it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4IzpDqbHqU

I really like Build123d. I hope someday the model sites like Printables and Makerworld support it like they do OpenSCAD.

 

There's a few 3D printable corner cut jigs out there. I designed my own for three main reasons:

  1. There's a little ruler on the side to mark the width of the fold-over section of the cloth
  2. It's parametric (using OpenSCAD), so you can customize various sizes (spacing from corner, various thicknesses, size of ruler, etc.)
  3. I like to model stuff myself because it's fun.

Karl Urban is also great

Nice, I'll take a look. How is the mobile experience?

[–] d13@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, no problem.

This is my first attempt at posting a comment with pictures, but hopefully these show up:

[–] d13@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

Yes. When I tried it, it was not very stable and the shortcuts didn't really work on mobile. But I know a lot has changed, so I've been meaning to go back and give it another shot.
