  • My first car was a 1986 Renault alliance with a manual 5 speed, crank windows, and no radio. It was given to me by my father after he put 120k miles on it. I went on to put another 130k on it. I learned to drive stick on that car. 250 thousand miles and I never had to change the clutch. I don’t know what it was made out of but it was indestructible. I had to change the clutch cable 6 times, but despite being the vehicle what I learned to drive stick on, it was indestructible. It also got 45+ miles per gallon it’s whole life. When it finally died, it blew a piston out the side of the motor. It was ugly and uncomfortable but I loved that little car and I would absolutely buy another 1986 Renault alliance. I would also take the x8a prototype as my daily driver but I doubt the clutch is quite as bulletproof.







  • I did this today with the crazy snow we got in New england… my neighbor is dumb and left his cars on the street. We got 22+ inches of snow. He has a shovel, I have a snow blower. While he was shoveling I just joined him and moved all his snow in 1/4 the time. I didn’t say anything. He thanked me and I nodded.







  • I had similar issues tho on a custom designed printer. The issue ultimately was the adhesive for the silicone heater for the bed was failing ans slowly delaminating from the bed. When I felt the heater it was plenty warm… But when I felt the center of the bed where it prints it was a lot cooler. I had to replace the whole heat pad. I don’t know what yours uses to heat the bed but my guess would be that it is also on the way out.




  • I wonder how effective they are. When I first heard about ssh targets (like endlessh) I thought it was an awesome idea. But as I started to look at some analyzed logged data it turns out they are either slightly effective to not at all effective. If simple logic can be written so a dumb ssh bot programed to find vulnerable ssh servers can easily avoid a tar pit, I would think it is pretty trivial for an AI crawler to do the same thing. I am interested to see some analyzed data on something like this after several months on the open internet.
