@GarandThumb1 This is Bing Bong. He scammed us into thinking he was pure Border Collie. He is actually 50% shithead, 50% needy (in the best way).

[Alan @alanjlitz]

It’s begging me to end its suffering. I shall not.

[Alan @alanjlitz]

Uh oh. Band saw is fucked before all my stock is cut. Key fell out, and the pulley bore got turned into a nice fine dust. Now it’s an oval.

[Alan @alanjlitz]

Even letting it eat like this with a 3/4” endmill, it’s still going to take me 14 hours to make the rest of these.

Local marketplace is on fire lately @Xaraphim

[Alan @alanjlitz]

@PhlyDaily But then where are we going to get our zombies from

[Alan @alanjlitz]

@Xaraphim never mind found it. I’ll buy it but I need a way to move it that does t also cost $1500

[Alan @alanjlitz]

@Xaraphim Tell me where right MEOW

[Alan @alanjlitz]

@j32pmxr @Xaraphim Not sure if the CLI version can do workers, but basically just ask it to use Opus workers to complete tasks. It’ll write the prompts and run several at a time.

@i2cjak I’m sorry for your loss my guy. Poor kitty :(

@Xaraphim Fable has eaten 60% of my weekly usage already. It doesn’t reset until Thursday.

[Alan @alanjlitz]

@Xaraphim Not just the hinge, but also the screen. That’s what I’m more concerned about. Granted, 100 tiny parts for a hinge is pretty insane.

@htmx_org Haven’t received this award in like 10 years, and they don’t give out ribbons for Go :(

[Alan @alanjlitz]

@Xaraphim what about the classic "I think you’ve surfaced a genuine sticking point here — and it’s worse than you think"

[Alan @alanjlitz]

This is what I came up with manually placing/routing the board, which took about the same amount of time as Claude took failing to route the first try.
This time, I only used AI as a spot checker, and datasheet parser.
I still have low confidence this board would work, but its definitely better than the first one. Chances I don't have some sort of buck converter interference nightmare going on approaches 0.

[Alan @alanjlitz]

Update: After more than 12 hours of tireless effort, several layers of guidance and rules, and a metric shit load of electricity used - It produced, one of the boards of all time. The best part? Almost everything was connected. 😂

I'd try Astra next, but I ain't paying for that.

[Alan @alanjlitz]

@ConeOfArc Wait a second, they have actual countries in your shows??? That’s no fair 😂

[Alan @alanjlitz]

@1llegalEngineer As if most stuff they get sent isn’t borderline unmanufacturable already.
