My 16 year son has finally finished primary treatment for lymphoblastic leukemia. He has been in full remission for over 10 months now and has started his maintenance therapy which will be another two years or so. This has been destroying me as a father but we are near the end of the tunnel with...

Honestly I've cut almost all the news out for the past while but it's bleeding into my youtube feed now so I figured I'd poke my head up and see what's going on. Kind of regretting that actually lol

So theoretically with all the "Strategic risk" that Canada poses if I were vacationing in the USA with my family we could be arrested, detained and deported with no actual reason other than his jack booted thugs were having a bad day?

This right here... destroys my faith in humanity...

I've been pretty harsh on Disney Star Wars lately but Skeleton Crew was actually pretty solid in my opinion. Too bad no one watched it... the viewer numbers are so low. Sucks because Disney will think that Skeleton Crew is the bad product (it's not) and not previous Disney plus offerings that...

@Frank take this with a grain of salt as it is a sample size of just me. I couldn't detect any increase in VOC's from having the water washable resin sitting in the reservoir in my printing room using my Temptop air quality monitor. It still smells awful and requires venting BUT the whole point...

If you really want to be safe with the fumes you need to exhaust to the outside. I put in an exhaust fan in my 3D printing/laser engraving room and when it's running full tilt there are next to no smells and all my air monitoring equipment shows no significant gains in VOC's and such. For resin...

Frank you are going to love the results you can get with that printer. You can not even come close with an FDM... you will see. I have experience with both types. Especially for miniatures and tiny tiny details... it's not even a contest.

I figured as much. My Warhammer 40k group have a Dark Heresy campaign that's been going for years... role play in the grimdark is lots and lots of fun.

I didn't realize that W40k Rogue Trader actually used all the stats and skills and stuff from the W40k Dark Heresy role playing system. I may have to give this a try myself now. (Your character would be fine in the role play environment )

Zbrush is good stuff. I like to sculpt in Blender for my organic models (I also suck hard at it).

This is actually why I want to heavily restrict or even block my AI assistant's internet access except maybe to site I whitelist myself (weather, stocks, things like that). If you carefully control what it uses for reference you can get significantly better (more accurate) results. Reddit will...

This youtube video was a big inspiration.

It's... complex. Short answer: Build a PC that can handle one of the smaller large language models (the requirements to run a local copy of ChatGPT are EXTREMELY high so that's off the table). A local copy of a large language model like maybe Llama 3 or something along those lines. AI derived...

Oh I absolutely want to try and replicate her sassy/mischievous nature. I may regret that but I think it would be hilarious.
