What are your"too lazy to cook" recipe ?
  • Sometimes I bulk out my shakshuka with another great pantry staple - lentils. And a little more involved for this thread but mujadara is another great dish that's primarily pantry ingredients plus onions. But I almost always have onions on hand and they keep so I give them a pass

  • Data Usage
  • I think it might just be a bug or weird optimization issues.

    And I'm pretty sure OP has that much data use because they're on lemmynsfw. Not only are they consuming a lot of media content, lemmynsfw admins have been turning off caching for images so he's fetching the linked media every time. I only have 1.06GB used since August 2

  • Foundation S02E05 - The Sighted and the Seen
  • I mean they are ruled by 3 identical clones so it's not unreasonable to assume she would be one too. Earlier in the season someone presumed she had a separate cloning facility of her own. Wasn't she also referred to as the last intelligent robot or something last season, too?

  • ‘It’s already way beyond what humans can do’: will AI wipe out architects?
  • I did a lot of that work when I was starting out. Trust me, not a fan anymore than you are. But the developers that buy up all the land and do the construction are, which I hate but understand. What I didn't understand is that, your average SFDH buyer loves that shit. There were times I was cranking out tweaked designs for 15-20 builds a week across 3-5 neighborhoods. People would come to our company specifically because of that "cookie cutter" design. They loved it and loved paying for it with just a couple tweaks. They knew that there were just tweaked versions of maybe 3 house styles in the entire neighborhood and they loved the suburb feel. Me personally? I've always hated the suburb vibe since I was a kid but that's what paid the bills until I could go back to school and get something I cared about off the ground

  • ‘It’s already way beyond what humans can do’: will AI wipe out architects?
  • I am an architect and I do a lot of ai work. My specialty is actually in generative parametric design and I'm just taking a break from writing some code for an AI project I am working on.

    I'm seeing a lot of bad takes here, I'm assuming from a mixture of not reading the article and not knowing what actually goes on in the field. No, we don't just make pretty pictures. No, a trend you don't like of boring or shitty buildings you've seen doesn't mean the profession is dying (and for a lot of those you can look at developers to share the brunt of your and my irritation).

    People working as "architects" do a huge variety of work and no two you talk to are going to have the same workflow or process so I cant speak for everyone. For me, ai tools aren't ever going to take my job, just remove more time consuming tasks and, in the long run, increase complexity and expectations. Same as when we moved from hand drafting to CAD, and again when we moved to 3D BIM design.

    Each step drastically reduced busy work but over time increased the base level complexity in the design work. When architecture was all analogue, we weren't doing statics modeling and parametric studies. And now with BIM, I have to consider and model equipment and MEC feasibility. Even compared to a couple years ago, now I'm doing solar and environmental modeling to track energy performance and inform the designs and suggest changes early on.

    There was a doctorate researcher I spoke with recently that mentioned that the direction the profession is going is that we will no longer make individual choices for every design element. Instead, we will manipulate the data and direction that end up at the final choice. And I think he's right. I think in the last year I've hand modeled maybe one project? Everything else has been purely data driven generative design.

    I use AI image generators to do early design inspiration alongside sketching. I have a local Stable Diffusion AI instance trained on my wireframe modeling that I use to create scenes for presentations faster. I build small tools that help me recursively optimize structural elements. The last few months I've been working on my own big AI project that could really help a lot of my peers as it develops, too. I can't talk about it just yet but I will after the funding period ends. The future is looking bright.

    Tldr: the whole field of architecture isn't responsible for those shitty city apartments you don't like, AI tools are helping us because architecture is much more data driven and complex than you think it is, architecture isn't a struggling or dying field like the article quotes- what's killing the joy is greedy cheap developers.

    Happy to chat or answer questions

  • New Corne Choc Wireless Chasis and Travel Case
  • In your description I saw you thought the magnets were a bit too strong and it gave me an idea-

    Why not enclose them in the print? Maybe take sheets of paper and layer them up until the magnet strength is how you like, measure that with calipers, and use that to determine how many print layers you'd need to make solid over the current magnet insets.

  • What books get you out of your reading slump?
  • Check out The Blacktongue Thief if you enjoy fantasy. It's narrated by the author and he is very talented. I enjoyed the book itself very much but I think the audio performance is half the fun, since he knows exactly how every line is intended to be conveyed.

  • How can I make userChrome.js work?
  • I am on MacOS. I can't help you in regards to the linked profile directory, if you think it needs to be set that way I believe you. But, I did set up userChrome.css the other day and I couldn't get it to work until I went to about:config and toggled the following to True:

    toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
    layers.acceleration.force-enabled
    gfx.webrender.all
    gfx.webrender.enabled
    layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled
    svg.context-properties.content.enabled
    

    Now this is specifically what I did for a userChrome.css not .js but most guides I found only said to toggle toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets but it only worked with those additional flags set to True as well. Maybe this will help you out some.

  • Magic Trackpad for work? Good, Bad or Fine?
  • I use a big trackball mouse but I’ve been working off a MacBook for the last couple of months. I switched to a trackball because I was getting bad RSIs, but since I’ve had the MacBook I’ve only been bringing it out for CAD and sculpting work.

    The track as is big enough that I can use larger gestures which helps prevent RSIs and it’s been fine for general programming and document use. The gestures are nice too

    I saw you said in another comment that you recently already bought an ergo keyboard, but when you go to replace it check out some of the split ergos with integrated trackpads/trackballs that are starting to get more popular. I’m eventually going to switch over to a wireless split with a trackpad on both halves which seems like the best option.

  • Can you recommend Japanese science fiction movies and series?
  • Oh the live action movies? I actually haven’t seen those but I’m not surprised they cut a lot of that out.

    Yeah there’s a good amount of sexual / rapey stuff in the anime and manga, specifically around Kishimoto. Also I’m not sure where the movies stop but the manga that goes past the anime gets really, really weird.

    I still really like it a lot but you have to be willing to look past that stuff so I don’t recommend it often to people who aren’t already familiar with some anime. The movies look a lot more approachable though.

  • Can you recommend Japanese science fiction movies and series?
  • GANTZ is really good but I don’t think I’d recommend it as an early sci-fi anime watch. There’s a lot of weird sexual stuff in it that the others on your list don’t have that I think make them a better recommendation.

    I also really like .hack//SIGN to throw my own in

  • Just switched from android and need suggestions for replacements for my sleep/alarm automatons

    Hello, I have been a long time android user for over a decade now so I have a lot of workflows figured out that I am now trying to replicate on ios. My main one I haven't found a replacement for just yet is for my sleep tracking/smart alarm setup. I'm not sure what combination of apps would let me accomplish a similar experience or if some things just aren't supported on ios. I have a 12 Pro Max on IOS 17b3.

    My Android set up I'm looking to replicate is: Sleep As Android, Spotify, Tasker, IFTTT, and Phillips Hue

    Sleep As Android did sleep tracking, white noise (playing at the same time as Audible audiobook), smart wake up (tracking sleep cycle and waking me up earlier if it thinks I'm in a light sleep), and automation triggering.

    Upon starting bedtime/sleep tracking in Sleep, it would trigger IFTTT to turn off my Hue bulbs

    When deep sleep is detected, it would trigger Tasker to turn off Bluetooth and stop audio playback (this is flexible I just want a way to disconnect from bluetooth and stop audio playback once I am asleep)

    When alarm starts, it would trigger IFTTT to turn on my Hue lights and start playing a Spotify playlist at a slowly increasing volume.

    To turn off my alarm I had to scan a QR code. This is the most consistent way I've found to actually get me up in the morning so its pretty important to me.

    If you have any suggestions for replacing parts of this please share them! Thanks!
