The line between moonshot and scam is thin and elon is known for doing jumping jacks on it.

Explain again why you are so proud to be racist and easily manipulated.

I am not sure how to say it exactly, but right now we are in situation in which we are complaining that a magical technology is not magical enough.

No, we're complaining that a technology that's hyped as an expert-level replacement for humans is completely inept.

I'm not even complaining.

I'm stating that LLM models are not capable of predicting the consequences of their actions which makes in inept with spacial and temporal understanding of the environment state.

I like the Rubik's Cube because it is a harness that helps me try to develop a prompt to get reasoning models to reason about the consequence of an action.


Just run in the console window=null and you are good. It is valuable service until the websites get their shit together and finally fix their payments model.

Reading about this, just makes me wish I has good 3d scan of their impellers to see how a simple 3d printer will deal with such mythical precision.

The materials that you could use in a 3d printer are not rigid enough.

The blades of the fans are fiber-reinforced, in order to have sufficient rigidity, even when very thin.

Only a 3D printer for metals could print something rigid enough, but such a metallic fan would be too heavy for a computer fan.


False, if you're printing PLA or something sure, but you can print all sorts of exotic fiber reinforced materials, and maybe if you're clever enough you can even use the anisotropy of the print to give you extra strength in the relevant directions. I'm not claiming that it's possible to 3D print noctua quality fans, especially on consumer FDM machines, but I think "inability to find a rigid enough material" is not going to be the failure mode, at least not on it's own. I could believe "inability to find a rigid enough material that can also get the required surface quality".

Noctua is awesome in a lot of ways, one of them is offering full CAD models: https://www.noctua.at/en/3d-cad-models

One of the first things mentioned on that page is:

> To protect our intellectual property, certain features – such as fan impeller geometries – have been slightly modified while remaining visually very close to the actual product.

So you do have to 3d scan them yourself if you're trying to print a copy.


Depending on what printers you have available I'll put in the work to get you a ~0.02mm deviation scan of a blade off a 120mm noctua fan I broke. I expect it to under-perform notably due to the surface texture and the lack of rigidity under load causing contact with the shroud walls at high RPMs, but I wouldn't bet my lunch on it, would be fun to find out.

The texture has substantial chance to actually help. Check golf balls.

It really does not have any chance to help. Golf ball dimples don't like magically make the thing better at air, if they did don't you think you'd see these sorts of features on fans or other airfoils to begin with?

You want dimples to create turbulent air that stays attached for longer, this INCREASES skin friction but since the golf ball is a bluff body it's friction losses are dominated by form drag, not skin friction. Putting dimples on a wing will drastically lower it's lift to drag ratio (which could in some cases be desirable, but it will absolutely not make the wing more efficient).

Of course all of this is moot anyway because the dimples need to be tuned to the Reynolds number you're expecting to operate at. Random surface imperfection wouldn't help even if it could help, which it can't.


Obviously better if you print slow enough. But the fans will be weaker and you won’t be able to pump out thousands every day.

If the only people openly caring about the future of Europe are the Hugo Boss fans, then all the people caring about said future will go to them.

If the far right are the only people with sane immigration and asylum policies, I have no choice but to vote for them, even if I disagree with everything else they preach.


Your racism makes you so easily manipulated.

Xenophobia. At least have the decency to accuse of the right vice

Your pride in your bigotry makes you a terrible human being.

From you that is the highest praise possible.

My point exactly.

So you disable both internet and the most annoying feature after touchscreens and start stop. Double win.

I have always thought that monads are just side effects and that's it.

Monads are popular for side effects because they have an implicit notion of sequencing, so evaluating a monadic expression enforces the sequence of operations. Works out nice for IO and Futures and so on. But List is also a monad, and flatMap (as many other languages call it) doesn't inherently have any side effects at all. Same goes for Maybe/Option (essentially a list of zero or one element), and State (which does take advantage of sequencing).

It's all about getting an intuition for how many things fit the shape:

    flatMap :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b
Where "flatMap" might have different names in different types. Once you see that pattern in some code, you'll start seeing it in a lot of other places.

Most monadic effects aren't executing side effects.

On the contrary, every monadic effect is a side effect. It's just that what exactly that means is specific to the monad in question.

Nope. For example lists are monads, but doesn’t have anything to do with side-effects.

Monads are just a pattern for chaining functions.


Haskell is godsend when using LLMs though.

I don't even know where to begin here... Using Haskell, the one language where you really DESIGN by types and use your brain and then using LLMs....

Testing it now ... it is absurdly efficient with tokens. Probably order of magnitude better than opencode for a couple of tasks.

The only revolution that got started in beds successfully so far was the sexual one.
