I got that idea from this design.

Yep, but I made mine first 😬 I believe we were both inspired by the work of Karakurist.

Yes, absolutely. Just needs one motor per digit.

The video exagerates it a bit. But it is audible. Of course the clock will only move once a minute.

It is digital because it has digits instead of pointers. It is also digital in the sense that it has discrete states.

If the live version is already broken, there isn’t much to lose deploying the fix as soon as possible. Not sure what else they could have done here.

Of course, but I still find it remarkable that the task that was picked as an example for something extremely difficult is now trivially easy just a few years later

The example given in the comic has moved from one category to the other. Determining whether an image contains a bird is a fairly simple “two hour” task now.

Plot twist: The woman in the comic is Fei-Fei Li, she got the research team and five years and succeeded 🤯

This project is now on Printables!

We need something like Affinity for CAD. Surely it must be possible to make a CAD program that can do the basics you need for 3D printing without all the advanced simulations and analysis. I just want to draw some sketches and extrude them.

The price is always whatever they think you are willing to pay. Especially for software where their cost is entirely development and the marginal cost is zero.

They are doing this with Nebula, even though that’s not federated. Judging by the reviews of the Nebula app, they can’t seem to get the usability of their app to an acceptable standard.
