  @CursedFootprint Fanstel LR62XE. Look at the pin numbers. The best part is that the real module has sensible counterclockwise pin numbers but the datasheet just lies about it.

  @shriramk@mastodon.social To me this is an odd (and, frankly, extremely personal-seeming) attack. It is possible to have a formal system that one enjoys manipulating (a subjective assessment) that is limited in scope or does not capture other aspects of the system. I, fundamentally, do not think that you must formalize your entire world in order to pick parts of it off into interesting and fun abstractions that can be manipulated into and of themselves. I read this as arguing that Lindsey's...

  @shriramk@mastodon.social The ideological problem I have with LLMs is that they're not pitched as coding aides per se in that they don't just make coding faster, but also as being able to span the problem solving space as well. I see this as being a required property of something that can translate natural to machine language like LLMs can due to the need to fill the precision gap - but it's also one that makes it profoundly uncomfortable to argue for one's validity or differenti...

  @azonenberg@ioc.exchange Hey I have a thermal inkjet driver design I never got around to bringing up!

  @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I enjoy Explosions & Fire (for jank) as well as ChemicalForce (for not-jank mostly inorganic chemistry). I don't have a organic chemistry channel I like, though.

  @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems The only USB-B that I hold a flame for is the original full-size B (non-superspeed). Full size B is good. Superspeed full size B is weird. If I have the space I will use a full size B, if not then it's USB-C. Mini is a weird grey area where it's both wearing (as you point out) and not small enough for my tastes and micro is too mechanically fragile in my opinion.

  @itamarst@hachyderm.io They're also doing pretty traditional logistics optimization, no less. It's AI in the sense that, like, power grid planning is AI. Big integrated shipping companies have been doing this for years.

  @IngoHeinscher@mastodontech.de I argue it's somewhat deeper than that; to me, the MBA is not about bookkeeping, per se. I think that's giving the concept too much credit. Bookkeeping and accounting are deep and complicated and requires extensive knowledge of the beans being counted to do well. I argue that an MBA is a rejection of even that. Rather, I think that it's the concept that business is a skill that's independent of the thing being done. It's the idea that one busin...

  @nonspecialist@aus.social What, you don't want to pay $20/crimp? 🤯 More seriously, the official hand applicator tooling is absurdly expensive and I haven't really figured out why.

• Post #171025

  @nonspecialist@aus.social The official one is like $400 like usual, though also as usual you can use third party ones to varying effectiveness.

  @nonspecialist@aus.social I would be shocked if there's anything premade - my suggestion would be to buy pre-crimped wires with the right terminals and then splice the wires onto a normal battery. These, for example https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/molex/0797581010/6564340.

  @nonspecialist@aus.social Yep, concur with the assessment that it's most likely a Pico-EZMate. In my infinite wisdom, I recently specced a Pico-EZMate Plus and now have to subject myself to hand-crimping the wires for it :|.
