If you’re just checking alignment or fit on FDM printing, sometimes I just print those specific layers 1mm high and see if I got it right. I also cut away the parts of the model I’m not trying to fix.
Just anything I can do to subdivide the problem space and iterate more quickly.
Since there’s some spool up time on printing (heating up and leveling) sometimes I also bracket parameters 5% on either side of my value and print 3 tests to see if those fit better or worse
In Oklahoma, they tried to market a bitcoin farm project as a datacenter. It received a lot of opposition due to the noise levels anticipated.
The graft team tried to get the state government to give tax graft to "datacenters" but didn't define what a DC was - which could mean the graft might go to bitcoin farms as well.
I noticed that the article does not really distinguish between any of these.
Please excuse my English, graft is not my first language.
I think noise pollution regulation would be a great way to stop undesired effects that spread from one property to another.
Unfortunately when it comes to land use, we have a tendency to block overall uses rather than blocking the negative effects of those uses. This prevents many solutions from ever being tried.

Probably because history is full of developers promising to mitigate certain negative consequences and then failing to do so. I'm as YIMBY as anyone, so this history of developers being awful matters a lot to me: it galvanizes the opposition.
What do you mean? It happens every day. Lots are upzoned based on VeryNiceIdea and then instead StupidBullshit gets built (so long as StupidBullshit fits into the same zoning scheme as VeryNiceIdea).
First, that's not an example of negative effects being banned and then developers getting around it.
Instead you are saying that some people wanted a particular land use on a parcel, bet then a different land use showed up. Lots of VeryNiceIdea have nobody around to execute the idea and actually make it happen. When an abandoned lumberyard next to lots of homes in my area had a proposal for condos, neighbors were livid at the homes, and refused the zoning change. Instead people asked for a music center for senior citizens, but nobody stepped up to raise the money to build something like that.
I guess it depends on your definition of "blocking" or "banned." If StupidBullshit had been proposed, it would've been blocked. Instead, they bait-and-switched with something else.
I still have no concrete idea of what you are talking about. You say it happens all the time, but I have not seen it. One person's "StupidBullshit" could be another person's "AmazingIdea" or it could be "StupidBullshit" to 99.999% of people, but without actually knowing what you're referring to it's impossible to know.
For example, there's tons of things that I love that others consider "StupidBullshit": book stores, game shops, live music venues, etc. In my town, a brewery in an industrially zoned area got exceptions to start allow serving beer and food, then a temporary one to allow live music. It's great. Then a shop owner next door shut down the extension that allowed live music because they thought that in the next 10 years there's a chance they might be allowed to build apartments, and that the live music permit should not be allowed because of that potential. 2 years of dragging out the permitting process continued, because a few people thought a beloved music venue was StupidBullshit.
That's the closest example to what you're talking about that I can think of, and it doesn't even involve developers. So I'm very skeptical about the public process of deciding "StupidBullshit," and have not once seen it turn out positively. Like, literally zero times. And I've been following land use in my city very closely for the past decade.
Yes, of course it is. There's very little rezoning to begin with, and it's extremely constrained. In fact, the opposition to rezoning exaggerates what heights are possible to such an extent that what actually results is quite disappointing in how little new housing shows up.
I'm concluding by your refusal to give examples that perhaps you have none to share. Especially when my repeated questioning meets more questions from you in return. Let me ask plainly: do you have a single concrete example of your complaint about developers?
That’s extremely odd! It’s strange to ask for specific examples because it is quite the norm for actual built developments to differ drastically from their proposed versions.
2001 LIC was rezoned under the premise of creating a central business district, luxury residential high rises took over instead.
Zoning rarely constrains the outcome as specifically as people wish it would while considering rezoning, ergo the default behavior is for the ultimate construction not to match what was proposed during rezoning. I frankly don’t believe you when you say this doesn’t happen where you are. Could you tell me where that is so I can understand how they achieve it?
Netgear did a switcharoo on me after the fact with my Nighthawk. When I got it, I was able to just open the app and manage it locally. I don't remember what it was but the thing I was after definitely worked a lot better from the app.
Then they updated it and required you to make a Netgear account to manage your local device.
I was able to trick it into thinking I was offline for a while, and I found that would let me log in locally, but eventually that quit working too.
I uninstalled the app and then just managed it from Firefox mobile. Their web UI wasn't remotely good, but it worked.
Luckily I didn't have to make a ton of changes to it from there on out, since I was just using it as an AP at that point. When I moved, I got a much better AP for the new place.
I am so done with accounts. I purposely use insecure passwords on sites that make me create an account just to view content. I don’t give a shit if someone hacks into my Logitech mouse software account. I really don’t. In fact, the pain it would cause the company would be very positive for me.
It makes me curious what that bar is for suspension.
Our incident team has never been able to get any registrar to shut down any site for fraud or spam, even with copies of our investigations.
In my experience these web agents are relatively expensive to run and are very slow. Admittedly I don’t browse HN frequently but I’d be interested to read some of these agent abuse stories, if any stand out to you.
(I’ve been googling for ai agent website abuse stories and not finding anything so far)
