The lesson of history is clear: every terrorist on the left eventually has a statue put up; every leader of a right-wing coup eventually has their statue torn down.

Great breakdown of how the "WoeMeter" from the latest Severance episode was built: make3.co/work/woemeter
@adafruit.com ESP32-S3 Feather spotted!
Finished V2 of the truncated icosahedron, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. The sides are 32 hexagonal and pentagonal PCBs, joined by 3D printed corner connectors and covered with 3D printed diffusers. The pixels are mapped and it's running 3D animation patterns on a Pixelblaze controller.
Here's an even better (inside the room) video of Illoominated II from the artist, Todd Moyer. A masterpiece!
OK. I significantly revamped my most basic, introductory text about core concepts in electronic circuits: lcamtuf.substack.com/p/primer-cor...
It now features a toy discrete-model model of a capacitor (no calculus involved). I think it's good.
People at work be like “hey how are you how was your week?”
I’m like “I’m bad man, I’m not good. How the f are you? It’s bad!”
Best to just not ask right now
It's important to remember that this sort of thing is far more important than here-today-gone-tomorrow politics. Because, once we've got it, we've got it forever.
The Deepseek hype is real. A few reminders as it relates to running LLMs on single board computers like the Raspberry Pi 5. A 🧵
1) Deepseek R1 is not the first open source LLM you can run locally. There are many options out there, some might be more useful for your needs.

China is REALLY GOOD at engineering.
CAD view of the frame, the motion and the side panels. The printed parts are in orange and the rest in gray.
The Jubilee is an open source 3D printer toolchanger that deserves to be better known. The extruder's locking system is on the frame to save weight. The design is well thought, it uses quality hardware and the doc is impressive.

I thought I was crazy earlier after making my video about Bambu's firmware, blog posts, and ToS, seeing text I didn't remember from yesterday.
As it turns out, they edited their original post to strengthen the straw man they set up in today's post: youtu.be/W6MybDJfmmY
I finally tagged the Splitflap v2 stable release and updated documentation this weekend 🎉
github.com/scottbez1/sp...
It's mostly quality of life improvements - nicer sensor PCB, 52 flaps for more symbols and color blocks, better motor orientation.
Docs are in the repo: github.com/scottbez1/sp...

A bambu labs A1 printer with stickers on it that say DO NOT UPDATE!!!
@bambulabglobal.bsky.social has started enshittifying their printers. Don't update them!

Finally got around to pixel mapping my friend's Pixelblaze-controlled Christmas tree using The Mariday's, video pixel mapping tool (github.com/TheMariday/m...), and it was fantastic! I could never have mapped the 600 LEDs on this tree without it.
Ok, I'm working on a personal notification app. It's called Tore. Which stands for Total Recall. I needed a logo for it, so this is what I came up with. What do you guys think?
Found a magnet-activated, battery powered LED board+controller on AliExpress and turned it into a (chunky) ring with a quick 3D print:
Prepping addressable string lights to adorn my friend's Christmas tree. There are 600 LEDs, powered by a Pixelblaze controller with an output expander that breaks them into three 200-pixel lengths for better power distribution. Gonna try to map their positions on the tree for cool 2D/3D patterns.
Top machine. Only gripe for me is its serviceability.
