YT has black boxes at all major ISPs. These cache local content. They prioritize what gets shown based on what is cached. This is why YT changed drastically around 2017. It is why you do not see content from ultra niche and high quality sources at random or get into advanced education like happened in the past.

Nah, I don’t think these are at all related to the other scissors style. I think these likely have an entire internal assembly mechanism. There is enough space in the thickness around the adjuster on that side of the forged body.
Actually, in the entire post here, no one seems to have understood the real issue at play. I explained it rather poorly. The flatness issue is the shoulder under the head of the bolt in parallel with the under side of the but. There must be clearance for the nut thread, which will always allow the nut face to tilt out of parallel. Scissors generally seem to obfuscate this problem with the curvature of the blades.
I think there is some extra small trick in the mix. The location of final thread helix contact when/where the nut is tightened to seems important. This seems to set the initial shearing location along the length of the blade. If done incorrectly, the scissors may work well from some arbitrary point along the length, but not from the start of the shearing blade. Bending the blade does not change the behavior, and neither do washers or lock washers. However, a steel rivet does not have this issue even when it gets a little loose from wear. Any general purpose screw and nut has this issue. I have a large selection of hardware at home for use in 3d printing design, like I have a better selection of M2-M8 than any hardware store around.
I’m not sure how all the different designs are decoupling the thread clearance and helix issue, or if they are moving it to some indexed location. I was half hoping that someone would see the post and chime in about it being some common design topology because it is such an ubiquitous tool.
The professional hair stylist’s scissors have the most wild variation. The tension is adjustable using the little tool spanner against the cross dimples. The wild part is that there are detents to how it tightens and does not feel at all linear. The detents are counted and each feels the same. The mechanism feels strange, like something one might expect in a pocket watch, not scissors.
1·1 month agoAh. We humans use the dumbest names for political camps by allowing such spurious intuitive labels. Even if the intentions are honest and straight forward at first, no one is static and free from the forces of change. One day, people will reject such primitive nomenclature, and look back on the present with pitiful disdain.
That said, Canada must build pipelines due to the way they are integrated with the USA. Nearly all of y’alls capacity routes through parts of out fascist portalet netherworld below. Y’all have been extorted by the swampy Trurd water. Sorry. I can’t fix the inbred-quality, reality TV educated populism, and inherited wealth cancers. Chemotherapy is slow death. But y’all can recover, ole Maple. We’re late stage two-party terminal, with aggressive gerrymandering shutting down our vital organs.
I know. I just don’t like the anti lib rhetoric.
It probably has more to do with my situation and survival. My fam is lib-Right -ish. I’m lib Left. To me, liberal is “liberty for individuals.” Fuck businesses. Those are not people. Those have no rights. Killing them is an honorable pastime. Like you have a right to an upper middle class life in relative freedom. Beyond that, fuck off, you have no more rights and only a weight of crushing responsibility.
I’m liberal. Open source EVs I can own and without the nonsense overhead of corrupt manufacturing. New ice vehicles are proprietary connected garbage too.
Without standardization where parts are second and third source available, and any shade tree mechanic can service it, this is a dystopian nightmare with no future. This stupid oversight is poised to create extreme poverty and wealth disparity. Every connected proprietary car has no long term value and will never be some kid’s first car. It will never be the single mom’s car, or the elderly man’s. All of these people and circumstances are what have been sold out to lower levels of poverty than anything witnessed in over a century. I care about these people. Fuck proprietary cars and all authoritarians on the Right and Left. Intelligent people are liberal and smart enough to say I don’t have all the answers, and no one else does either. People with strong opinions and bold answers are the biggest monsters, harming everyone on the margins outside of their limited perspective view. I’m all for effective solutions, but I’m not selling autonomy and self determination to get there.

Who thinks Spez would turn down Israeli state money to tune an algorithm and bots
Always share and let them decide. If you’re genuine, and care, show it. Your intentions may not always land, but it still creates positive value. To love or hate is to care. Indifference is the opposite of both love and hate. To make no comment is therefore always the worst. If you feel strange about what you posted, that is an opportunity for personal growth. Caring matters most. So post it!

Need to train a LoRA for a long hot shower.
Gptel is better than ellama. Ollama only runs small junk. Llama.cpp is way better because it will split CPU and GPU and run bigger quantized models, especially large MoEs on a 16 GB GPU.
I started trying to mess with image-dired today for a few minutes to try and get my training images and caption files to sync and scroll, but didn’t get very far before just tiling… such a noob

31·2 months agoI’ve had all of that from day one with a MK3S+. It just works. I don’t even think about it. Plus your using a slicer that is derived from what I paid for while your money does nothing for me. Adrian Bowyer and RepRap built everything. It would have started in the 1990s if proprietary shit companies like stratasys did not exist. Nothing good comes from selling your right to autonomy and citizenship by inference. The world is falling apart right now because of this exact issue of a lack of big picture ethics. Every decision has consequences. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. I’m a real liberal. You have a right to be wrong, but I’m still going to call stupid stupid.
4·2 months agoThe ability to filter information using proprietary devices and software in the kernel of all of these garbage devices is the core issue. Trusting the owners of that code is to surrender your right to unbiased and unfiltered information. I am not at all concerned about hacking or security by small insignificant players. I am massively concerned about the extremely powerful using the leverage they have normalized and embedded to become tyrannical neo feudal lords in a fascist society. Google IS the biggest danger by orders upon orders of magnitude. Trusting them is to give up democracy entirely.
All mobile devices are proprietary. Android is a scheme to make a Linux kernel that has everything ready to deploy except the actual hardware drivers for the processor and modem. Manufacturers take this kernel and add their proprietary binaries at the last possible moment. That source code is not available anywhere. The hardware documentation is not available anywhere publicly. Every device model is just different enough that reverse engineering one does nothing transferable to any other. The level of reverse engineering is extreme and requires destroying many devices using things like fuming nitric acid and fluorine solutions just to have a small chance at reading some parts of embedded memory. These are some of the most dangerous and hazardous chemicals humans make, and you still need xray equipment, special microscopes with stepping automation to stitch images, and a ton of time.
This is moving to a tyrannical surveillance state of fascist authoritarianism. Open source software is a major front on the line of real democracy. This is a nuclear bomb released on that democracy. You fear the wrong pirates and criminals. The biggest threats always come from within. Trust as a mechanism is fundamentally antithetical to democracy. Everyone demanding trust is a traitor to democracy. Trust is the key of the fascist kingdom. Once that key is held, democracy has failed regardless of whomever is aware of the situation. Democracy requires fully informed citizens with skepticism and the liberal right to decide for themselves even when they are wrong. This is impossible without full access to information. The source of that information cannot be filtered at any level. We already have the narrowest bottleneck of available information sources in the last 1000 years of history. There are only 2 relevant web crawlers. All search queries filter through one or both of these two and the results from these are not deterministic. Two people searching for the same thing at the same time will get very different and very biased results. This is individualized regardless of any protections people imagine they have in place. Outside of the internet there is no real unbiased media. A dozen people own it all. Even the garbage claiming to comb all sources is drawing the line and dictating what is center right or left is. Anyone at the grassroots level is impossible to find because there are no organic unbiased search results. The results are all filtered junk full of agenda and bias.
This is the real big picture abstract issue in play. When the maga traitors said this was a coup, they absolutely ment that. Mobile devices are all rental garbage someone else controls. Your computer likewise has a secret operating system running in the background that you do not control. In Intel it is called the Intel Management Engines or ME. This started with Intel VPro in 2008. AMD adopted it is 2013. Arm has one too.
All that is left is to steal your right to have a digital front door by eliminating DNS filtering and all of these devices will be controlled and connected directly by someone else that is watching and listening at all times. You are already in tethers as a digital slave that can be bought and sold for exploitation and manipulation without your consent or knowledge using your digital presence. You have not effectively realized the implications of that surrendering of rights to citizenship with full autonomy. The next step is to redefine the word citizen to be functionally equivalent to slave. “You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it” because if you are not, you will be dead. This is the death of democracy. My words will echo in your head years from now. The dystopia to come is beyond anything you can presently imagine and there is no way to stop it now short of taking up arms and playing Luigi if you are able.
The consolidation of wealth is what really made Caesar. That was the death of the republic. It was not Caesar. We are all a product of our time and environment. It was the consolidation of great wealth. All that wealth did not give a shit about Rome, it went to Constantinople for better opportunities at first chance because consolidation of wealth is treasonous. It is as it was, just look at outsourcing and off shoring, or the disgusting mismanagement of banking and housing that have made the American worker completely uncompetitive with Asian counterparts at the same standard of living. No, I have no fear of the boogie man or foreign state actors. I am terrified of the criminal that normalizes domestic trust, actively manipulates and exploits me, and steals my purchased property. That is a real monster.
Democracy is dead. Welcome to the neo dark ages. Take up arms.
I care dude. It will get better. Think about projects you can mess with. Take junk apart just to figure out how it works. If nothing else, save and start organizing the hardware like screws and stuff. Spare hardware is super useful for fixing things and you will have an enormous variety if you just take apart junk and keep the spares.
Before the end of the day today, commit to doing something physical for me. Walk outside for a bit, ride a bike, watch the sun go down. Do anything that gets your heart rate up enough to barely break a sweat at a minimum.
Arduino stuff can be fun and an intro to programming stuff if you have never tried it.
