Hi there!
Glad you asked - I am a creator of Blender courses, my main platform is Youtube and Skillshare.
I am a goldsmith, autodidact in Blender and freelancer for about 5 years in 3d design for 3d printing, but I also dabble in illustration and animation.

I recently launched a Blender course for complete beginners. It gives a complete overview of the basic functionality. It think it is exactly what you requested. It is available in German and English.

It is relatively short, around 1:50. If you already have CAD experience you may be able to work through it in even less time. You will gain a very good basic understanding of the Blender UI functionality and may branch in any direction you would like to.

Here is the introductory lesson on YT in English:

If you'd like one free year of Skillshare premium, you might participate in my give away which runs until end of October, I also plan another one in November. Just create a project model and post a screenshot under the Skillshare course (will be explained there also), and you enter the give away. Honestly, you will have a real chance of winning, as the courses just launched recently and there aren't as many projects yet :)

Hope this helps!

Greetings and viele Grüße

It's a bit ironic that copilot is under fire from coders when most of them find stable diffusion so great...
I think it's not unreasonable to attack effects of homelessness as well as the cause. Some problems are really hard and some are just hard.

In other places where it wont cost 1.7M to build one public toilet, this wouldn't be seen as such a failure or mis-step, just extending public services to people in crisis - as long as it's not seen as "fixed" by doing so.
I largely agree with you. The problem is that huge organizations are apparently the only ones magically allowed to do stuff like this.

Normal people and small businesses get completely demolished by DMCA takedowns etc which often times are completely abusive, but yet go entirely unreviewed. Because fuck those dumb, money thieving criminals.

But if it's Google or Github doing the thing, it's suddenly an act of brilliance and they're above these plebian rules. Disgusting
I don't have more networking experience either. Anyways, I'd think a provider could also plug a logging box in front of any owned server. The more important point might be the high percentage of servers hosted by M247, making it a more attractive target.

Profit or revenue? Because renevue means money moving, profit means more money on the bank account.
I don't personally care about anything as a public servant beyond covering my ass. Joe Taxpayer does get screwed, but he gets screwed by the collective decision making satisfying everyone else, so I can't get in trouble for it.

Joe Taxpayer doesn't show up to the planning meetings. Joe Taxpayer doesn't submit anything to the feedback forms. Joe Taxpayer doesn't care enough about any particular project to really win.
We have an access road that was sized for utility trucks. We had to widen it slightly because of obscure California regulations.

Widening it didn’t cost $1.7M. However, the cost per linear foot was within a factor of two of buying a line of Tesla Model 3s. This is in an unincorporated (rural) area, on a farm.

The work lasted one rainstorm before needing extensive repairs.

I’m completely unsurprised that building a hut around existing plumbing and adding a toilet costs so much in the city. I wonder if the price includes a sink.
If people want to keep their code free of third party manipulations, just don't use freemium services like Github. They want to make money on your code in exchange for free place to keep it and popularity you can get. If this is not fair for someone, well, there are cheap paid services that will provide similar functionality.
You can also run FreeCodeCamp locally https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/blob/main/docs/...

And I funded to work to run that on an Android phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=space.atrailin...
No one is saying it should be covered in shit. I'm just explaining that projects like this in SF are targeting a very specific issue - a large homeless population.
Born and raised in SF. NIMBYism is indeed a huge problem. It’s the hidden underbelly of a city with otherwise modern and diverse thinking.

I’ve since moved to Seattle and it’s crazy to see shit can actually get done here.
I do think TechSpot[0] (aka Hardware Unboxed) has a good chart[1] that highlights some differences in power consumption utilized to achieve performance.

Notice at 185W, the Ryzen 9 7950X is churning out about 36% higher performance than the Core i9 13900K. The Intel CPU, however, is then able to continue drawing up to 335W!

At their respective peak scores, the i9 is using over 70% more power.

I see Openstack as a replacement for running your own Digital Ocean / Linode, I've yet to find a product that allows me to run fat VMs, with any kind of networking I really want (I use the crap out of OVN and duplicate network blocks / isolation) and I can just yeet a project at a student and not worry about them going over quota with it.
Then they should rebrand from public toilets. Maybe a sign that says "poopy poopy homeless toilet" would clear up the confusion.
When you post an article do not edit the title to substantively change meaning expressed by original title or article itself.

If you have a question, post an “Ask HN: Is Product Market Fit lucky?” and then in the description cite any notable reference as you see fit.

Lastly, per guidelines:

>> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Quick check shows roughly 5 of the 2000 words in article related to topic you edited the title to represent, article had nothing to do with your title.

Postgraduate degrees are VERY different from undergraduate degrees, typically being a year long and being a lot less integrated into the "student lifestyle." Where you spend your time as an undergrad is a lot more impactful on who you interact with and how your worldview is formed than the time you may spend as a postgrad.

This is awesome! At first I thought this only supported Stack Overflow and not the other 170+ StackExchange forums, but it looks like it does (or will?). From the blog:

> “We built the Sotoki (Stack Overflow to Kiwix) scraper in such a way that it can capture each and every one of the 180 Stack Exchange websites.”

Unclear to me if "can" means "does" or "will soon" or just "could"
"Clearly" is doing a lot of work in that sentence unless you've delved deeply into the approval process of this specific toilet. It's absolutely believable that this is just produced by sclerotic bureaucracy.
Have you ever taken a shit in a public toilet? It is a disgusting, degrading experience. I’m still traumatized from the one time I had no choice, and I said never again.

> polluting non-local effects

I agree that these exist.

I do not believe that they are as significant as the general public believes. After all, there have been more than 500 nuclear weapons detonated world-wide in the open atmosphere. [0]

If these non-local effects are very large, why would we take Russia's threats of using nuclear weapons against a neighbor as credible?

>The fact that we can't reconcile inductive and deductive reasoning is a limitation of our philosophical/logical/mathematical systems, not some ultimate truth that invalidates the above principle.

It's not reconciling those two systems. It's reconciling all of logic (induction and deduction) and reality itself. Logic, by logic itself is inapplicable to reality. We live in a universe of unknown domains and imprecise/inconsistent measurements. At any point in time we can make an observation that contradicts a previous observation. This makes proof impossible. While proof is impossible because of the possibility of a contradictory observation, falsification is very possible. The goal of science is falsification, not proof.

This is the logical conclusion of science and therefore reality. Logic, deduction and induction and proof are mostly the domain of mathematics or little axiomatic games we play where we artificially limit the domain. It's a Very very different domain from the one science operates in.

Most of humanity actually agrees deduction and induction are inapplicable to reality. Hence why science is, in the end, the most rigorous form of determining truth (despite the fact that it actually can't) instead of logic. This is in fact the conclusion reached ABOUT reality when we apply logic to it; that logic itself is inapplicable to reality as we know it.

When we check if a cube on the ground 100 times and see that it exists but we can't know what the next 10 billion observations will yield. Perhaps the 100 observations were biased, and the 10 billion subsequent observations yield that cube was a reflection, the toddler was mistaken and the situation did not exist long enough for the toddler to observe the cube past 100 observations.

> Anyone that rejects this principle doesn't know if the sun will rise up tomorrow, is terrified that they may fall through the floor at any moment, or worse, drift off into the enormity of space.

This is my issue with PG. If you look at science rigorously... we actually don't assume this is true. Science cannot verify whether the sun will rise tomorrow or whether or not we will or will not fall through the floor. That is science in a nut shell. PG is saying something WRONG about science and that Aliens will share a belief with us about it.

As for our day to day experiences, you're right. We all believe the sun will rise tomorrow, but this isn't science. This is simply bias, that all humans are born with. We ASSUME the sun will rise tomorrow, but there is no form of reasoning (scientific, deductive or inductive) that can lead us to that conclusion. PG was NOT talking about this. He was talking about Science and controlled experiments. Not shared assumptions about reality.

If PG said, "We assume that Aliens, like us, assume that when we're not looking the cube still exists even though we only observed it a couple of times." then I can probably get behind that, but it is an entirely different statement.

Fair point - fixed.

> Not including the DM distribution needed to match each galaxy's rotation curve

Incorrect. The present-day distribution of dark matter is a consequence of the 6 parameters in Lambda CDM. If you take the Lambda CDM assumptions (with 6 free parameters) and apply the known laws of physics (gravity, hydrodynamics, nuclear fusion, radiative processes, etc.), you get something that looks like the universe that we observe. You get correct rotation curves, correct distributions of galaxy masses, and so on.

If you can find a way in which Lambda CDM does not observe the known universe, then you will invalidate Lambda CDM (and maybe win a Nobel Prize).

> Contrast that with MOND's 1 parameter, visible mass.

There is currently no known theory of modified gravity that has the same predictive power as Lambda CDM. People have been trying very hard to find one, but so far without any luck. Lambda CDM works extremely well, as far as anyone can tell.
This is cool! Curious if it would be possible to run the model on device?
I don't find it valuable to say "impossible". I've said that pretending we're at that point now is harmful.
Exactly this.. Kubernetes provided some realizable value from the very first release.

OpenStack has been around for 10+ years and mostly just provided slide-ware value and maybe some strategic negotiating leverage and insurance of various forms.

It’s actually interesting to me to hear from the sibling comment, that someone actually got to 1000s of VMs under management. I’m still not convinced it’s necessary or adding value in such situations vs “the field”.

Wow I agree. When I read I thought it was an Onion article.
This - the problem with Truss was that she was a "true believer" in total garbage, so as soon as she tried to turn it into policy it blew up. Johnson's skill was in talking a lot and not delivering any policy.
I'm trying to resist a "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." response, but iOS already does voice-to-text, so it's hard to see what value-add this offers. I think the comment which inspired you was from an Android user? Or at least not an iOS16 user, where the voice-dictation is much improved.

Single-click launch from the lock screen? That's neat, I don't think I can get there with bare iOS.

No real-time feedback as I speak, so that seems like a point to iOS.

The email is a nice touch, but the trade-off is that you have a copy of all of my recordings now.

Finally, it could be that OpenAI Whisper does a much better job than iOS. I have no idea!
> Red tape and nimbyism is hard to imagine from what I see of SFO in books, it seems like the most anti-diversity thing you can do.

It sounds like your books are giving you an inaccurate view of San Francisco, because almost nothing is more on-brand for the city than red tape and NIMBYism.

It doesn't.

It transforms code from its training dataset in a sufficiently vague and exciting way. That's not all of what writing is.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
I think you're misunderstanding the point here. The point is that co-pilot is not "fair use". Co-pilot can not exist without ingesting entire codebases to encode their aggregate statistics which Microsoft then uses to recommend auto-completions. So what you're arguing is untenable, co-pilot does not just ingest the header files for some C library and then somehow magically provides the function implementations, it literally copies and statistically obfuscates the entire codebase (headers and all). This is obviously not "fair use".

The equivalent argument here is homomorphically encrypting an entire codebase and searching through it for matching snippets and not attributing credit to the original code/source. This is essentially what co-pilot is doing but using AI hype as a cover.

Remote employees are working less, sleeping and playing more, Fed study finds
Here's the specific result - it's a standard result in elementary number theory.

Suppose x is irrational and p/q is a rational in lowest terms with q > 0, and

|x - p/q| < 1/(2 q^2).

Then p/q is a convergent in the continued fraction expansion for x.

Using this, you can show that 355/113 is the best rational approximation to pi with denominator less than 1000. (Assume that there's a better approximation, and use the result to get a contradiction.) I wrote this up in my number theory notes (https://sites.millersville.edu/bikenaga/number-theory/approx... and https://sites.millersville.edu/bikenaga/number-theory/approx... [pdf]).
Just try Googling for "weak copyright" or "strong copyright". You can see for yourself that there's no such usage like you're explaining. All the top results are about whether copyright as a general concept is, or should be, strong or weak, applied to all circumstances (proprietary and open sourced software alike and even other types of copyrightable works).

Strong and weak copyleft is a different matter, those terms do make sense. Maybe that's the source of confusion here.
I am OK with copilot.

We are all getting trained on someone's else code and up to a certain point replicating it (along withe some mix and matching).

Let's make an open source version, this should be for everybody.
you’re cherrypicking right-wing talking points to support an argument that doesn’t have much evidence
People who live in San Francisco don't use SFO to refer to the city.

The airport is actually a couple of cities away (there are a lot of cities in the Bay Area).
That also describes GPT-3. The hyperperameters are a blueprint.

Can it diagnose my car engine? It seems to be idling rough and it's using too much gas. Does the throttle body need cleaning or maybe one of the coil packs is failing?
It's certainly going to be tougher (not just in San Francisco, but elsewhere) because it was previously standard practice to choose cheaper areas for these projects to keep taxpayer costs low. Of course, in reality this disproportionately affects marginalized communities, so it'd be a political dumpster fire nowadays to propose that.

If you can't build things in the cheaper areas, all that's left are the expensive ones.
Fair point, but it's whether 'suspension' can be 'permanent' I was commenting on really, rather than that it ought to be 'banned' specifically. ('Disabled' perhaps when talking about the account, with the distinction you highlight.)
Well, it was a joke, but to take an earnest question seriously, there are entrance exams, but they're not especially hard, particularly if you've been coached beforehand, as many of these kids will be. Theoretically no special cases, and "celebrity" would certainly be frowned on at Eton / Harrow - these are old-money families, not nouveau-riches.

Revenue is not telling us much, they have profit 33 billion dollars, so this is 3% of their profit. This is not very much, but something visible for sure. Stakeholders would not be happy.
This is much ado about nothing. I'm glad the account was banned, it means the system is working. Even he admits it makes sense "For the record, this is a new account that has posted a bunch of links (all Stratechery interviews) in a short amount of time, from multiple locations around the world." So all of this is because some copywriter at Twitter wrote "After careful review" instead of something like "after automated review". He claims in his bio "home on the internet" but then gets upset over some copy like this? Come on!
Netflix account sharing prevention working?
It appears account sharing prevention is paying off for Netflix. Do you think this will be the model for SaaS to follow now? Not banning account sharing but charging a fee per extra device? Seems like a good model. Anything I'm missing about it?

A non-US ship can go to PR and then another US port. From the article:

"The concrete results are that a foreign ship can enter a U.S. port to drop off its foreign cargo, it can even from there sail to different U.S. ports to drop off other foreign goods, but it is not allowed to pick up any domestic goods in a U.S. port and bring those goods to another U.S. destination if it doesn’t meet the four conditions listed above."

I don't know why you're downvoted. On a phone, the environment is more tightly defined/controlled and the error you saw is less likely to be unique to your configuration.

But in any case, you provided useful information. I've been an Android Firefox user for many years now - love it.
Kubernetes as an abstraction layer above clouds, whereas OpenStack is a cloud computing environment.

Though, I heartily agree with "it's easy to get started with Kubernetes, and difficult to get started with AWS".

When I tried looking at deploying an application to OpenStack (as an alternative to deploying to AWS), I was barely able to setup an OpenStack cloud environment on my computer. The most practical option was to use a public cloud which provided OpenStack APIs.

Even with public clouds with OpenStack APIs.. my experience trying "compute VM with an internet-facing load-balancer in front" was that different public clouds required different setup for this. -- TBH, this surprised me. I understand that you can't just copy-paste Terraform code for AWS and have it work for GCP; but I had expected to be able to copy-paste Terraform code for one OpenStack cloud and have it work with another OpenStack cloud.
It's not even in the "old" days, what you described is still the situation today, for C and C++ languages - as I'm sure you are aware. You have to know about all your dependencies, and curate them all manually. This despite all the misguided "package manager for C projects" attempts that pop up here on HN every now and then.
Is the SF Bay Area the worst managed "successful" economic urban area in the world ?

It performs pretty badly on public transport, safety, affordability & sanitation. All its pros seem to exist despite the management, and not because of it. (Universities, Jobs, Weather, Nature)

I thought Greater Seattle was badly managed, but it has been funding light rail, missing middle-housing and recently started reversing the crime problem bit-by-bit. Bangalore might get a shoutout, but they did see unprecedented population explosion in a decade and are at least (badly) trying to build their way out of it now.

I'll take a moment to mention one of my favorite comments on HN
