  • What's your laziest or most ridiculous automation?

  • Pumped from the bottom. The basin sits on a raised box that holds the internals, including a pump for draining and a water valve for filling. Basically it uses a timer that commands the pump and a sump circuit for the fill valve detecting high, low, and overflow conditions.

    The pump runs for three minutes every hour for sixteen hours between 0600 and 2200. The three minutes is enough to drain the entire thing with enough time for the clean fill water to rinse the basin and be drained away before stopping the pump and letting the fill top it off with clean water.

  • I don't know solve space, but I can not not recommend FreeCAD enough.

    Have trouble parsing that sentence? Now image that level of mental gymnastics for everything you're about to learn in FreeCAD. Don't do it.

    I am a FreeCAD fan, but I learned on AutoCAD and others way more polished before I ran into it. If FreeCAD had been my intro to CAD I would not have continued. They're doing great things but it is not entry level ready. To use and continue to use FreeCAD you have a special kind of blind spot for some of the less intuitive workflows, and it's tendency to randomly lose its fucking mind and turn your project into a mangled, inverted abortion of its former self and then forget what Ctrl+Z is.

  • You're my hero-of-the-day(tm) for putting quotes around AI. Thank you for all you do.

  • Correct! It connects to a sink drain the same way a dishwasher does. It is actually a bathroom sink, the kind that sits on top of the counter. We have had three Great Danes at one time so trying to keep up with a clean water dish was really impossible. We no longer have large dogs but the desire to keep them in clean water persists.

  • Not sure this belongs, but my most proud automation is an automatic water bowl for my dogs. It automatically drains, rinses, and fills 16 times per day so they always have fresh water. They deserve a better life than my lazy ass can give them.

  • Do Democrats Have a Plan for the Post-Trump World Order?

  • If you're still not convinced the Dems aren't gonna save us go watch the Raskin interview on YT with the LegalEagle guy.

    I almost yeeted my phone when Raskin was asked, "So, Bondi didn't answer a single question. What's next?" "LOL we haven't thought that far ahead. We're busy getting reelected."

    That's not an exaggeration or hyperbole. That's exactly what he said.

  • Can people irl be as mean as some people online?

  • Yeah, I should have specified "people" in this context are coworkers. So, on the same page.

  • I feel bad for people who say "I can't" when they mean "I won't".

  • That's why I love Lemmy. Here you have a higher chance of having nuanced and intelligent conversations with strangers than on any other social media. Written communication still has challenges with nuance and you'll always have reactionary trolls, but far better odds here.

    That's why when I see posts like, "How do we get more users on the Fediverse? Grow or die!" I tend to chime in to keep their goddamn hands off the last place on the internet where these kinds of genuine interactions with strangers can happen.

  • That's why "I can't even" was invented. That's "I can but don't care enough to give the energy to do it." Which still blames the circumstance but cites a personal choice that it demands too much of the individual.

  • It’s an impressive showing, but according to experts, it may be too early to tell whether Andon‘s test proves that AI models are ready to run entire businesses all by themselves. Nonetheless, the results show a noteworthy level of awareness.

    Nothing in the article supports that conclusion. More AI bootlicking.

    A real test would be to benchmark against other algorithmic approaches or maybe some business students given the same task. But then it would be harder to say, "We're almost there!"

  • Filters are generally stronger when paychecks are involved. That said, there are definitely people who don't trust others they've only met virtually. On the flip side I've found people who I've met in person are then more apt to share their more extreme views with me online even in a work setting. It is a fascinating psychological and sociological phenomenon.

  • I had someone do this to me in a professional setting "I asked ChatGPT and it gave me a good answer. I'll forward it to you so you can read it."

    Are you shitting me? If you want to use an LLM to start your thought process or start your research, fine. That's probably the best use case for LLMs. But don't claim you did something valuable and then pass the task on to me to do because you couldn't be bothered to assimilate, internalize, and contextualize the information during the meeting where that was the whole friggin' purpose.
