Looks really cool, but unfortunately I can not use it because thermal printing paper is coated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals like Bisphenol-A (BPA) or its substitute, Bisphenol-S (BPS), which can be absorbed through skin contact, potentially leading to metabolic, reproductive, or cancerous issues. It’s basically a very fine plastic dust. Though risk depends on exposure duration and amount, it’s not something I would feel comfortable with kids.

The site claims to have BPA and BPS free printing paper

Page claims “No-BPA and no-BPS printing paper”

Did you miss the part where they explicitly said they did “ sourcing safe BPA/BPS free thermal paper” ?

I can't find the CPC certificate for this product. Children's toys are heavily regulated in the US and based on the thermal paper, the lack of display of their authorization to sell, the fly by night nature of a drop shipping website like this ...

I don't think this is a legal product to market towards children in the US

and that's without even mentioning the LLM usage

real glad my nibblings all got real art supplies when they were little. that fosters real creativity and the lot of them can draw better than any of the examples on the sales page, and they're still little kids. and there's no subscription, no EULA, their supplies are legal and safe to use, etc.

This product is actual trash


Warp is so horribly broken right now and has been for weeks. Multiple github issues on what I experience is consistent issue writing file. On top of that UI glitches, and inability to use the great code indexing feature, file and diff Explorer while in WSL or any ssh connection. It unfortunate because I liked it a lot before, but after multiple weeks with the same breaking issues, it's practically unusable.


Not having to go find the ambient sound clips yourself.


But one could find it on YouTube (ad free with Firefox and ublock origin) in less time than it would take to install an app.


I see it being cut up and sold off wholesale.


Yes. It was noticeable to me through daily usage. So much so that I checked anthropic website for any issues they might have posted about. Opus limits also seemed to have been tightened.

I also feel that the responses and actions have gotten slower around the same time. It seems like there is a larger delay between messages and tool executions.


What enclosure do you use? I had trouble finding a good one.


I've had mixed luck too. The one I'm using now has been mostly ok. https://a.co/d/4AiF1Zp

It actually has been considerably more reliable than the MediaSonics than they replaced.


Can you give a little more details on how the enclosures work? Do you see each drive individually, or does each enclosure show as one "drive" which you then put into a zfs pool.

I'm looking to retire my power hungry 4790k server and go with a mini pc + external storage.


Replied to another comment with my setup - I use a QNAP JBOD enclosure (TL-D800S) connected to a mini-itx PC. (You do need at least one PCIe slot.) Shows up as 8 drives in the OS, the enclosure has no smarts.

I wouldn't do USB-connected enclosures for NAS drives - either SATA via SFF, or Thunderbolt.


In my case, each drive shows up individually. I create a new vdev encompassing all of them.


Each drive shows up as an external USB mass storage device?


I don’t know if it’s USB mass storage. It just shows up as separate devices in lsblk.


Ive seen a lot of people linking beelink mini PCs lately: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-me-mini-n150

The cost is very low, but it would have to be a nvme only build.


Because Louisiana is very rich with natural gas on cheap land, has low regulation, and governor after governor that is down for being a testing ground for new wacky republican policies.


They also placed it near Grand Gulf, and there is a lot of water in that area.


Just an anecdote, but Modafinil is one of the worst stimulants I have tried. It’s great as a one-off tool for something like staying awake to drive late at night, but every time i have taken it I get intense depression and aggravation for the next 2 days. It’s really strange. Things that normally do not worry me cause great mental suffering. If it wasn’t for that and the deep sleep impact, it would be great. I read the half life is ~16 hours.


AFAIK highly depends on the person, I've given 1/4 or 1/2 doses to people and the most common reaction is that it is like a coffee. It seems the strong reactions are a minority of users. Specifically for me, I have long term dopamine dysregulation, so it hits really strong. Without the amitriptyline there is no way I could say on it.


Any dopamine booster (agonist / reuptake inhibitor) has wildly different effects on different people. Or across different times in their life. Anecdotes are good to share, because they illuminate the variety of experiences that one should be prepared for.

Even Vyvanse vs Adderall XR are reported to have markedly different effects on the same person -- and after metabolic conversion, they're supposed to be the same active ingredient with fairly similar time release duration.

Does anyone know of any decent newer open source models for generating sound effects?


Just use a synthesizer. Writing textual prompts is about the most inefficient way of getting what you want. When I was working in film I'd tell directors to stop describing what they had in mind (unless they were referencing something very specific) and try just making some funny mouth noises.
