Made in the Living Room

Firmware, electronics, metal, sound, software, and questionable domestic experiments. We don't weld in the living room anymore.

Scopeception.

One of the boards from a broken Tektronix 454A I picked up on eBay, being tested using the procedures from the original Tek service manual.

Please be kind. I’m a software engineer.

@omeganyanya Nyaposting is criminally under rated.

The algorithm should be whipped.

@PNWConservative Congratulations.

You now own a dip.

@radioactivered I wonder if the radium baths actually DID help with arthritis.

And killed you, which was a problematic side effect, but do we really have evidence that joint pain at death was not reduced?

@kongqwong @riqsz5 I was totally unaware of the glycerol component, I definitely should have included that.

It sounds like it's only a portion though -- the protein wasting can still happen.

IIRC can't some animals avoid the latter entirely? I thought bears didn't have the same problem we do.

[Made in the Living Room @4D49544C52]

@bcencio @riqsz5 Yes. Which consumes protein.

@kongqwong @riqsz5 @grok Is this poster right? Is my mental model broken?

@oldstackjournal @X The algo works in mysterious ways.

@SchubertCalc @loftwah Seriously?

I am planning to stick around for however long they keep 5.6 sol available. I really like it as a day to day conversational partner -- it's basically my own memory during a workday.

I have a small Claude account which I use interchangably for small coding tasks.

When they retire GPT 5.6 from the main chat app I will reconsider whether they have anything to offer vs just going full Claude + local.

@master_jpma The middle class will shortly be a solved problem.

@loftwah Buy the dip. It's coming back.

@tuuu28283 Definitely possible. That's a shotgun. Shoots kind of a cloud of pellets.

With a rifle or handgun it would be borderline impossible (there are a few people that can do this) but with a shotgun this is fairly normal.

The hardest part would be throwing the thing with your foot

@don_tech1 I will definitely never be touching one of their products again.

I hope they can protect their IP or whatever though.

[Made in the Living Room @4D49544C52]

@specialkdelslay Good point. I suppose if it's lyrics it would just about have to be both wouldn't it?

[Made in the Living Room @4D49544C52]

@SayItLoud19 @embw_l0x Did you make something cool though?

@Josh_fitcheck13 I'm a type 2 diabetic. For me it's about what my panel didn't include 10-15 years ago.

@GeorgeRoush Maybe they should have used a submarine.

Surface ships aren't designed to sink. That's kind of their whole thing.

@BrassKickerLLC I did approximately this with an '06 once.

It doesn't feel good.

@loftwah We have benchmarks. They aren't perfect but they produce consistent results.

They've shown a drop off in models ahead of releases.
