I spent last night trying to figure out how to make a floaty ghost clicky and I TRIUMPHED

3D printed rocketeering looks like so much fun. Id love to learn this stuff. #rocketeers #rockets #3dprinting

I forgot how much MakerBots back in the day were complete shitshows. This sums up the issues they were and how much you still need to watch your prints and make sure everything calibrated correctly in newer printers www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgwF...

this was me btw. it turns out that Arduino projects are ideal for getting the computer to just code through them because they all fit great in the context window

Raspberry Pi has released the new $200 (£180) Raspberry Pi 500+ which has a full mechanical RGB keyboard, 16GB of RAM and now features the Pi 500's missing NVMe. I got my hands on a unit and wrote a review over at Tom's Hardware www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi... #raspberrypi

"One of the lines on this graph goes much higher than the other two." "Oh dear. Let's give it a different scale, so its peak is exactly the same as the other two lines." "Much better."

Raspberry Pi just announced the Pi 500+ It has a quad-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD (built-in NVMe), and an RGB backlit mechanical keyboard (Gateron KS-33 blue switches). Cost: $200 - and in this thread I’ll go through some testing notes 🧵

Any bets on how long until yt-dlp will have to switch to a full browser automation stack (ala selenium, playwright, etc.) to snag YT videos? github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dl...

Raspberry Pi just announced the Raspberry Pi 500+, with 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, mechanical switches, low-profile changeable keycaps, programmable RGB LED backlighting and more! In stock and ready to ship - thepihut.com/products/ras...

✔️Yes, you can program those RGB LEDs ✔️Yes, you can change the keycaps ✔️Yes, you can swap out the SSD

Glowie assembly! Double-stick tape is already on the PCBs, I plug in a battery, peel the tape, stick the battery down, and dress the wires. Then I snap the bottom cover on, and snap the top cover on. #alpenglowies #glowies #ledjewelry

well this a project that absorbed way more time than I planned. mcp23017 and encoders to control raspberry pi running #Zynthian. turns out the only solid core wire I had on hand was just red or 0.1mm magnet wire. but it's 99% done. just need the ground bus, but thats tomorrow's problem.

This is both very cool and somewhat disturbing. The culture of use and throw has really gone ridiculously far. hackaday.com/2025/09/15/h...

I had an enlightening conversation with mathematician Hannah Cairo about how she broke a huge conjecture in Harmonic Analysis at just 17 years old, what being a transgender mathematician means to her and how math has supported her along her journey! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌊 ✨ Read the Q&A here:

As a child, Hannah Cairo learned math by taking online lessons from Khan Academy. By the time she was 14, she had taught herself the equivalent of an advanced undergraduate math degree.

“Impulse Purchase” — this abstract procedural/mocap animation by OK Go checks a lot of my boxes! Extra points for crowds and for using the phrase “stochastic parrot” in the lyrics (Emily M. Bender @emilymbender.bsky.social). Apparently made in Blender, bits of “behind the scenes” shown.

The ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico are capable of some amazing things when treated properly. In this article, Simon utilises the Pi Pico and some smart code to steer a fixed antenna array electrically.

Opensourcing a tool to calibrate camera extrinsics painlessly in a minute, no checkerboards! It's based on EasyHEC, using diff. rendering to optimize extrinsics given object meshes+poses. Crazy that even a piece of paper works too. Code: github.com/StoneT2000/s... (paper example in next post)
