a bunch of people get killed going into grain bins (to break up crusty clogs) when the grain collapses on them. The first video in the below thread is of happy GrainWeevils working a nice bin. problem bins shown lower down bsky.app/profile/mood...

this stops with us, right now 🤝

Still not wrong, the core innovation for those happened like 2006-2008, by 2009 it was all adoption curve.

but i did consider putting the lower bound at 2010 to get around this

(was replying elsewhere bsky.app/profile/did:...) As I have more characters now: Others do many other things too, but this is what I'm into using it for, and being able to treat it as an appliance and not a project, and having it just work after I turn it on after a month is really nice for that.

I'm using it for functional parts primarily. Parts for attaching things (e.g. on an IKEA Skadis pegboard), enclosures for projects, replacements for lost parts, stands for devices. Printed a bunch of tiny screen edge protectors for the pebble time 2 yesterday as reportedly the glass is fragile.

Strong argument to be made this is all downstream of sustained low interest rates/ZIRP ending thus lowering investment in monopoly/rent seeking ventures and encouraging investment into productivity increasing technologies.

You’re probably best off starting with a Bambu Lab A1 or P1S! They’re great (mostly) out of the box ease.

im personally a big fan of prusa (all we use at the makerspace i volunteer at) but there are a ton of bambu-heads out there reporting nice things as well

it is pretty wild to see it all combining lately

Amazon's warehouses have been using basically this for like a decade, hasn't it?

i remember back when people were going on and on about how we had hit the limits of technological progress and nothing "really new" was happening anymore

Has robotics been hitting consumers in a big way? Or is the impact all industrial stuff like this still? (Agreed on the other ones)

This is what I wad thinking a few weeks ago when we WENT AROUND THE MOON !!! 😍 🤯‼️

the Star Trek future doesn't have AI in it, except for one off unique entities like Data and the Doctor that don't upset the status quo of humas (or human-like aliens) being the prime movers

I thought this until I visited the warehouse for my company and was told the robots are by far the jankiest and least reliable part of it and everyone hates them. I’d like to see more than a thirty second tech demo now.
