@jaseg tbf, their selling point seems to be that they do polymer recycling, which would indeed limit color choices to brown or black, if you're not going for extremely clean recycled (probably PET) plastics. Which, huh, is something you get out of e.g. packaging lines, not at all out of private households' recycling as they advertise

@jaseg @gigabecquerel @dtl I honestly think of the vases on that shelf, only the beige "bubbly-bottomed" one looks as if putting flowers in it would not be an insult to whoever gave you these flowers (and that beige one is just not a pretty vase), so that's not really surprising. These are not vases for people that like beautiful things.
@hennichodernich @gigabecquerel @dtl Even better than low-wage labor: Unpaid labor!

You can do an *internship*, one of the legal ways in Germany to get paid less than minimum wage!

@gigabecquerel @dtl I'm extremely confused as to why someone would take the money- and energy wasting route of 3D printing mass thermoplastic products that could be injection-molded. But I guess that's the point, somehow. Somehow selling people a "green" product, with a production method that gives them the feeling it's artisanal, but literally is just complex over-generalized automation with added low-wage labor steps. Beautiful.

So let me get this straight... rsync made a *security release* fixing a bunch of CVEs, it regressed some stuff, people looked at the commit log, saw Claude sign-offs, and started a mob on the sole maintainer?

Yeah, this stuff is what gives legitimate AI criticism a bad name.

I don't like it, you may not like it either, but when people are throwing LLMs at legacy codebases and finding CVEs by the dozen, and a sole maintainer is trying to keep the house from falling apart... if you're attacking them, you're firing at the wrong person.

You know what's a bigger cancer on this world than AI? People incapable of seeing any nuance in situations. And this applies to absolutely everything. I'm absolutely exhausted of extremist takes. From every single side and point of view, in every single debate, AI related and not.

You all seriously need to touch grass, and learn to stop being outraged all the time over every single thing in this world.

@JennyList … -filled copper tube coil of 4 or 5 turns: really just a ~kW MF/HF transmitter roughly impedance-matched through a single-winding-secondary air-core transformer, with the secondary just happening to be the material you plan to heat.
@JennyList yes, I inadvertedly heated a thin (0.4mm) stainless steel bowl to a bright red glow and removed it before it did damage to the glass surface. Heat-insulating hob from ingot will be one problem (probably: alumina mat?), the other is that with thicker pieces of steel, your hob might be smart enough to notice that the resistance rises and protection might kick in (I never saw that in reality, it just feels like an obvious feature).
But hey, these induction furnaces that are a water-…
@niconiconi And the marketing naming has been there for a long time: Xeon "gold" processors, Intel Pentium Extreme Edition / "Intel Pentium Extreme Inside" (no joke)
@luis_in_brief that's a 404 for me. Which might be what you meant, if you've had enough of conferencing :)
Wednesday!
Skunk Anansie's albums are great, but the first two albums are one banger after the other. Hard to pick exactly one song, so you get one from both.
I really like the raw, rude, angry and well-sung (Skin's voice is just amazing) opener from their 1995 debut album "Paranoid & Sunburnt", so I'll just go with: Selling Jesus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P0yUagEXBE
1996's stoosh is probably the most (commercial) hit-packed of the three, but on #MusicWomenWednesday:
