I was even more productive yesterday and assembled this cute stack!
It’s four Hamamatsu S1337-1010BR Si photodiodes with respective amplifiers. I want to add a scintillator, a light-proof metal casing and see whether I can use this as an energy-dispersive x-ray sensor, maybe even do energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy

It’s one thing to have an LLM edit a work email and “make it more professional”, it’s another thing entirely to have it reshape messages to friends. It just reeks of dishonesty, laziness, and bad intentions.

I never want people in my life taking this kind of shortcut with me. It’s so damn gross.

Wanted to make a mug for my new workplace, but the left over clay was already to dry and I didn't want to open the new one yet.

So I just made these fancy bowls instead, as their shape requires almost no ductility:

Really like orca slicer but damn, this three-way print option split between general, per object and per filament constantly keeps me searching for and overlooking stuff.

As with that stupid flow rate, which also for some reason isn't given in % but as a multiplier… typoing it to 0.1 and never finding it again because only looking for some percent input field made for some fun days of error hunt

So it's been 3 months of job hunting and i only got to one interview which fell through. I have been filling up dozens of applications per week, sometimes per day, in several european countries. I currently have about 30 unanswered ones. Made accounts on a dozen of websites that post jobs (some turned out to be ai crap service traps that don't offer anything unless you pay and even then no guarantee).
So I've pretty much ran out of money and ways to sustain myself at this point and feeling pretty desperate. So i decided i'll post here and on sky again to maybe get some new eyes, maybe somebody knows somebody who is looking for native apple devs.
Any signal boosting is appreciated.

Ok I'm back and my worst fear came true: having problems opening the apartment door upon arrival

A huge puzzle of carefully placed, partially bubble-wrapped (guess by whom) glassware almost entirely blocks my small corridor now, with heating mantles and magnet stirrers occupying the living room.

The one large thing sticking out of the puzzle could be identified as a huge chromatography column so far

I think I'm just going to say it.

Fediverse has a strong negative echochamber about AI. And I get it, there are many issues I think the industry needs to address.

But there are also many many people out there, big and small, on all sorts of projects, open and closed, that are successfully using it to do good work.

I think it's time to let go of the "all or nothing" bandwagon stances on AI. To exert control we need to condemn the actual issues; https://mastodon.derg.nz/@anthropy/114975700920581718

Dear anti-AI folk: I hear you, but, please please please, complain about lacking laws and regulations, complain about the specific things you don't like, because being "against AI" is tone deaf, it doesn't arrive and it's too generic to act upon. Whether #AI is here to stay I cannot predict, but in either case it's the boundaries we set right now that will be important for the coming decades/eons, so to actually exert control don't be against AI, be against lack of regulation and control thereof
