In December we released the new Open Community License. MandicReally took it as an invitation, not just an announcement – and turned his Prusa CORE One farm into something unmistakably his, with smart custom touches built around his printing needs. Definitely worth a watch: youtu.be/GiGD0y0b8Oc

I saw we're doing 2016 throwbacks. On this day 10 years ago, I was making the first prints on a Mendel 90 we built for the "How to build a RepRap 3D printer" class I taught at the Dallas Makerspace. I would have never guessed I'd be making a living working on 3D printers founded by RepRap today.

Hey #electronics nerds! What’s your preferred solder for different applications? What kind of flux do you use? I don’t need to do much soldering so I want it to be quick
And easy when I do. I’m annoyed with crinkly gray solder that doesn’t flow and adhere, especially when splicing wires.

I took a day off for nostalgia to add colorized listings to the #Atari BASIC thing. I'm using the AtariBASIC source code (annotated with pseudo-code) to inform the tokenizer. The most important component I need to implement is the little VM that applies the B.N.F. to each statement. #CodingLanguage

The most natural way to experiment with #LLMs is to wrap up Frotz in a #Python Tkinter UI and feed the LLM the output of #Zork.

It's important to keep context small but rich, so this Summarizer is doing well.

I printed this piece for my Prusa i3 Jalopy Rebuild. The Adjustable X-Idler has always been a bit of a joke in old brittle PLA, quickly disintegrating every time. But with modern PETG a little bit of material goes a long way, so this turns out to be a pretty sturdy part!

And they aren’t falling for right-wing shutdown talking points either. Trump and Republicans should be worried about these future voters.
I just hope the so-called “grown-ups” do even a fraction of the research this young woman did. Google it.

We’ve gotten several messages that the Trump administration has tampered with federal employees’ email systems, making some people’s automatic Out of Office replies blame the government shutdown on the “radical left.” This was done without the employees’ knowledge.
