Sadly I can't find any pics of the basic table we made, but that was actually an easy thing to make once I thought it through.
I basically got a 2 sheets of MDF to the size I wanted (roughly the size of a baking tray for the oven, as I had to heat the plastic in my home oven) then drilled a hole every couple of cm in one of them, then made them into a shallow box - sealing all the places the wood connected with bathroom sealant on the inside and duct tape on the outside. I made a hole in one of the 'side' pieces that would fit my vacuum cleaner hose, and then added more duct tape to seal.
Then I made two wooden frames as big as the largest baking tray for my oven, then cut some heatable plastic to size, and clamped them in the two frames and put them in the oven.
This part had loads of trial and error - ie how long the plastic needed heating, how long to run the vacuum cleaner, how to make sure the plastic didn't end up behind the thing you were forming, how to make sure the think you were forming didn't deform while under pressure.
These comments are probably either by friends of the OP or perhaps associated with the project somehow, which is against HN's rules but not the kind of attack we're mostly concerned with these days. Old-fashioned voting rings and booster comments aren't existential threats and actually bring up somewhat nostalgic feelings at the moment!
For example, there are rings of accounts posting generated comments, presumably in order to build karma for spammy or (let's be kind) promotional reasons. There are also plenty of spam rings that create tons of accounts and whatnot.
These are different from the submitter-passed-a-link-to-friends kind of upvoting and booster comments, which feel quaint by comparison. In this case people usually don't know they are breaking HN's rules, which is why they don't try to hide it.
I moderate a medium-sized development subreddit. The sheer volume of spam advertising some AI SaaS company has skyrocketed over the past few months, like 10000%. Comment spam is now a service you can purchase [0][1], and I would not be surprised if Z.ai engaged some marketing firm which ended up purchasing this service.
There are YC members in the current batch who are spamming us right now [2]. They are all obvious engagement-bait questions which are conveniently answered with references to the SaaS.
Z.ai Discord is filled to the brim with people experiencing capacity issues. I had to cancel my subscription with Z.ai because the service was totally unusable. Their Discord is a graveyard of failures. I switched to Alibaba Cloud for GLM but now they hiked their coding plan to $50 a month which is 2.5x more expensive than ChatGPT Plus. Totally insane.
Everyone has started either hiking their prices or limiting the tokens, gravy train is over. Glad we have open models that we can host; Sad RAM is so expensive..
I see, I remember checking that they didn’t support high definition wireless codec but missed the part where they could do lossless over the wire last year.
Why can’t they squeeze in that codec, considering Pros have it for years and are a lot smaller?
Edit: apparently I was confusing AirPods Pros with Sony WH models, which have LDAC. I guess there is no chance Apple adopts LDAC, even in their large heavy cans.
I completely agree. The tech industry has long been overrun by people sacrificing morals for money and it's destroyed society and presumably the world. We've given people a free pass to work for companies we've all known are harming the fabric of society and look where it's gotten us. I'm sorry, I would rather be poor and switch careers if my only option was xAI and making image generation models that explicitly allow people to undress others. At X's scale, technology like that harms an unfathomable amount of people. I could never have that on my conscience. All so I could make more money than a job at another tech company? I'd rather work somewhere innocuous like Figma, Cloudflare, Notion, Jetbains, Linear, etc. Hell, if you only wanted to work for an AI company then at least go to Anthropic.
Apple makes some of (if not) the best hardware around. It makes sense that some people would want to buy a Macbook Pro for its hardware and run their favorite OS on it.
Doesn't feel like a useful data point without more context. For some hard bugs I'd be thrilled to wait 30 minutes for a fix, for a trivial CSS fix not so much. I've spent weeks+ of my career fix single bugs. Context is everything.
Sure, but I've never experienced a 20 minute wait with CC before. It was an architectural question but it would have taken a couple minutes with a definitive answer on 4.5.
According the MacRumors, yes but they cant confirm if its only for the new AirTags yet:
"watchOS 26.2.1 is also coming, and it expands Precision Finding to the Apple Watch Series 9 and later, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later. We have not yet confirmed if this is for the new AirTag only or also works with the original model."
If a students needs Logic Pro for 3 months for a class then they can get it (with the other apps) for $9 total ($6 if you count the free month). That makes more sense than a one time fee of $200. On the other hand, if you're planning to use the software for over a decade like yourself then $200 is very cheap.
