@danielpunkass I’m having to remind myself to prompt for scripts vs prompting for actions often. I find it amusing is that when I prompt for a script the output is often both better and faster, plus the script can be run infinite times whereas using the LLM to do the thing takes more time, every time.

LLMs have really changed the entire math for me on automation: a release of a little pet project where I might have to release it 4 times ever, I used to do that by hand. Now I automate it.

@joethephish @johnvoorhees

the app is incredibly well done. I love all the attention to detail you put into the animations, like when you split an event between sections. It really shows a love of the craft!

@gruber My wife puts a tub of these (dark) in my stocking each year. They are gone before new years.

They completely ruined Reece’s for me. Or perhaps Hersheys did that!

@marcoarment my 10 year old daughter is saving her allowance to buy one, so I’ve told her we could split the cost. She’s thinking the Bambu A1 mini, and I think she may want to go up in size to the A1 full (or I will). We will almost certainly use Tinkercad as she uses it at school.

Which printer did you get? Worth upgrading to an enclosure or adding an MDS? I’m thinking about starting cheap so we can see if the hobby sticks.

@bigzaphod years later i taught a graduate level iOS programming course for non design majors and the biggest challenge was the disparity in ability. Those who had played with computers all their lives wanted harder assignments and to jump right to the part of making cool stuff.

The unfortunate kids who didn’t really “get” the language or the tools started the class at a complete disadvantage. They weren’t learning iOS, they were learning data structures.
