@posiputt I posted it to you last week, honestly. You should have it by now. It is showing as having gone from my account. I will look into it for you as soon as possible.

Experimenting with sphere retention structures which can be more reliably manufactured using FDM processes. It's "The Octagons" this time! Updated the Git to reflect this latest attempt. https://github.com/StefanoGaivota/Optical-Data-Channel-JellyLoad-Hardware #JellyLoad #3Dprinting #Maker #Optics #RetroComputing

@regendans@todon.eu @MrLovenstein@mastodon.social Superb bit of public service. Thank you! #AlwaysAddAltText

There was a certain inevitability to this. #Russia #Documentary #Ban #Censorship https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly97ddwgeko

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org My guess (probably wrong) is that DRAM needs regular refresh cycles. With CPU In a halted condition, DRAM contents would discharge and corrupt quite soon e.g. five or so missed cycles.

I'm smiling like a simpleton from thinking how much joy our proto ancestors might have experienced from relaxing in a bed with a tog-10 duvet, memory foam mattress and pillow, all with clean dry sheets. I'm grinning like a loon imagining such a thing. I'm feeling so lucky. Thank you. #gratitude #joy #wellbeing

@brianbilston 🤣 "I didn't say it. You said it." Beautiful!

@jansandstorm@mastodon.art This is heartening to read. I have often found that perceiving something as personally possible, to be an immensely motivating factor. It must be possible >for the current me< for the motivation to take any effect.

Since cats are suspended in a state of quantum uncertainty, if you make an additional observation of a cat, i.e. a completely different set of reflected photons, is it a different cat? #Cats #UncertaintyPrinciple #Schroedinger #Quantum

@philipbrewer I'm sure it would have been more interesting (arguably more valid) to compare consistent, moderate intensity exercise of equal duration within the same study rather than just the binary "sprinting" or "relaxation" protocols. Doubtless that would have yielded a less eye-catching study conclusion. Ricardo William Muotri: "It could also be integrated into care models for anxiety and depression disorders." The word 'could' is definitely doing a lot of heavy lifting in this quote! Now, if someone could find a conclusive, simple and ethical way to improve patient compliance... 😅

Having gone through the batch, it seems that, (as the Smiths never sang): "Some Prints are Tighter than Others" I will leave the model as it is and folks can make their own accommodation one way or another. #JellyLoad #Maker #RetroComputing #Optics #Hardware #3Dprinting

@m0xEE@breloma.m0xee.net @Elucidating@mastodon.social "Inconsolata" is my go-to for monospaced typeface.

To prove to myself that the optics calculations are valid, here are two optical housings with yellow velum representing the sensor surface. Right is the original circular aperture with no sphere installed, left is the aperture including interfacing sphere. Light level at sensor surface is at least 50% greater with spheres installed.

Back in the nineties, I saw the Fugees and the BeeGees with squeegies in Fiji at CBGBs. Or was that just a Two Ronnies sketch? #CantRemember #SeniorMoments #RidiculousPhrases

Something I found recently relating to wellbeing and establishing some sense of purpose in life. I have a feeling that regular engagement with simple, little positive things gradually steers my perception in a more helpful direction. This article seems like a succinct reflection of my own findings. https://theconversation.com/forget-grand-plans-these-small-tweaks-can-add-meaning-to-your-life-271616 #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Positivity #Perception #Meaning #Purpose #WhatsThePoint #WhyEvenBother

I don't think I'm likely to be shamed into good mental health. All that has achieved so far was to force nascent problems into the darkness where they blossommed and fruited into something far more insidious, dangerous and long-lasting. #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Honesty

In a fit of dissociated verbage yesterday I conjectured that the reason we cannot find paleontological evidence of astronomical telescopes is because they were all taken away by those fortunate creatures who foresaw and escaped the asteroidal apocalypse. #Dinosaurs #Astronomy #Heresy #RussellsTeapot #Dissociation

Ginger came trotting down the road to greet us, tail in the air. Headbumped our legs and then eschewed us to give this tree stump a big hug. #Cats #CatsOfMastodon

Hmmm. That scheme of dots doesn't really work intuitively so I rearranged things to make the rolled number upright relative to the table and offset towards the uppermost surface. Distance to COG is still within a micron for centre of each face and all faces have equal area. I would like to be able to simulate physical throws of this model but my lack of phys-sim chops means I may just need to go old-school with stuff IRL when time allows (i.e. probably never). #Simulation #Probability #Dice #3dmodel

@kevpeirce@aus.social Hi Kev! Good to see you. Be sure to include relevant hashtags in posts cos for a lot of folks on Fedi, following hashtags (preferring to follow subject matter rather than following individuals) is how we roll. #FediTip #FollowHashtags All the best!

" Under this, by far the best, administration, we will be repealing all of the sad, sad laws which have been holding back regular Americans for far, far too long.

• The Law of Universal Gravitation GONE!
• The Law of Diminishing Returns GONE!
• The Law of Thermodynamics GONE!
• Newton's Laws of Motion (that guy was such a loser, well his law is GONE!)
• The Law of Supply and Demand GONE!
• Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion GONE!

and, of course, most important of all.

• The Rule of Law GONE!

@ChrisJagged@mastodon.social I guess this poll implies that I can engage in only one artistic endeavour for all time. Is it not possible though, to do what's necessary to pay the bills whilst also using some energy to support your personal vision? Y'know, like most people have to do. Or, indeed shill your tat for some coin and position then, once established, pivot to stuff which matters personaly.

@ferret_stack@mastodon.social I am admiring your handwriting. Even the most mundane wording would look like poetry to me when scribed with this hand.

@ferret_stack@mastodon.social Perfection! 😍

@jarek_hryszko@mastodon.social I suspect that I may be a generative algorithm, programmed to believe it is a human though I am not well-dressed by any objective criteria.

@asta@sunny.garden Lately I have been having conversations with some of my adverse memories as part of re-scripting and desensitisation. Beyond the additional cognitive load this presents, I was concerned that I'll end up stuck there whilst the "real" me continues through life on autopilot. Then I realised that very thing already happened a long time ago. Important parts of me are held, tortured in these temporal traps as less and less of me managed to move through time to experience the present and hope for the future.

Here it is manifest in tangible form. Resin SLA. The inevitable Bic biro for scale. 30mm across.
