Ender3 is an outstanding entry point to the 3d printing hobby. It's open source hardware, so no other printer has cheaper parts. And may be the most common 3d printer, so plentiful modification options and tutorials.

 

What are the effects of trees/plants on PM2.5 pollution? Are there plants that catch more? Do damp leaves catch more?

Does watering plants with a mist pull extra microparticles out of the air vs a stream? (if so, Do plants mind or benefit from the extra stuff in their water?)

Are there any "permaculture" solutions for air filtration? Could a filter caked with pm2.5 black carbon and whatnot be useful for anything else? Can I manufacture a filter that will reduce pm2.5 using home grown plant materials?

What if I converted a wall of my shed into all filtration material, made it airtight, and pushed air out the other side of the shed under solar power? How would 100sqft of filter give flexibility of filter media?

If I made a giant/parallelized bong in my backyard that constantly pulled air through water to try to catch microparticles, how big would it have to be to have an appreciable effect?

 

Interesting projects studying live tree graft joinery techniques - how to guide tree growth into structures with engineered utility.

when planting a potted plant into unprepared compacted soil, dig a hole twice the diameter of the pot and at least 1.5 times as deep, then mix removed soil with compost and use that to fill the extra gaps.

Beautiful. I'd love to grow my own lil pineapple one day

I've heard this theory. Feels like unrealistic hopeful wishes of people who want AI to fail.

LLM processing will be a huge tool for pruning and labeling training sets. Humans can sample and validate the work. These better training sets will produce better LLMs.

Who cares is a chunk of text was written by a human or not? Plenty of humans are shit writers who believe illogical or clearly incorrect things. The idea that human origin text is superior is a fantasy. chatGPT is a better writer than 80% of humans todat. In 10 years LLMs will be better than 99.9% of humans. There is no poison to be avoided.

chatGPT has an apparent style when used in the default mode, but you can already get away from that with simple prompt tweaks. This whole thing is a non-issue.

High seas piracy is about to enter an exciting new era

We should copy content from reddit, but label it "repost from 4chan", so they have to try to crawl 4chan archives to see if the content was actually first posted on Reddit

make it expensive for them to claim ownership of UGC

Have you seen the AI gen video of Keanu eating spaghetti? https://youtu.be/MwQNCbX4VFo

Haha, it's funny how sometimes carrots will have a bunch of leaf and barely anything below the soil. Oh well, happens to all of us!

 

One of my favorite videos from Kirsten Dirksen's lovely channel.

 

Started my food forest last spring.

  • Put down cardboard and covered in alder woodchips
  • Planted a couple each of grape, blueberries, olive, marionberry, sichuan peppercorn, green tea - basically trying things out and seeing what works in my climate

Was pleasantly surprised when I got out there this year, and everything made it through the winter! (Albeit some appears to be a popular graze with the deer - could slow growth down a lot if I don't protect soon)

Pulling weeds out of sheetmulched woodchips is great - so easy even though the soil underneath is overly compacted clay sand.

build roads for the movement speed increase

use vehicles (trains can be manually sent to a particular station, without cargo they can go very fast)

get a spidertron when you can

what do you mean by expansion update?

Have you place Bobs/Angels/Space Exploration mods yet? Bobs is like doing 3-5 normal playthroughts, angels like 10, spacex like 100. They are biiiig.

Ah, I think I may have used in/out inversely to you when I set up trains.

"copper in" is where copper is put "into" the train system "copper out" is where copper is dropped

Factorio is amazing and dangerous. Its a game where there are lots of choices between useful things you could be doing at any time, so its easy to start playing and poof 'aww geez is that the sun rising?'

 

What should I add to my 'watch soon' list?
