3/4 The joke: ask AI to make life less busy, get seven apps and an eighth to manage them. The ending: make something, clear the second chair, spend the evening with a friend. A faster engine still leaves us choosing where to go.

4/4 My bet: this is the worst this technology will ever be. It already helped me do something high-school me never dared try. What did you want to make before you got practical?

This is 3 Minimax-H3 clips I combined, but even I can't see the seams... Flawless. The audio is perfect. So with the right workflow, the builtin 15-second duration limit is nothing. AND... this and the last posted clip cost $0 to create. 🫠. I am still in awe right now. P.S. This clip is based on a true story.

Minimax-H3 knows what doggles are. Amazing.

Received my #LattePandaSigma single board computer yesterday but no cases are available yet. Designed one real quick and printed it overnight. Came out just in time to test it in the field with my monocle display.

The online 3d model for the computer's board is missing the nvme headsink plate. To make a case, it was necessary to precisely measure the screw holes and print a test plate to see if everything lines up: it worked! On the second try.

First try failed epically but can't upload here I guess because the clip is less than a second of video. The print failed and created an alien landscape instead of a flat plate.
