Yes and no. Formal welding programs will put you through every common process in a variety of positions, plus various other shop tools. If you're only going to invest in one process, you could probably master it in a week or two if you properly read up on it and practice (different joint types, all positions, various shapes to get the movement logistics down). It's not really like 5 or 10 years ago when welding itself was basically tribal knowledge. Lots of good resources out there.

I love LinuxCNC so much it needs to be on a printer. There's no reason why a Pi5 + FPGA can't run something like this So many great I/O options for real time print quality assurance

@emm0sh The biggest effect of AI improvement will be the total destruction of SAAS and proprietary software tbh. At least that's assuming the providers continue to charge little enough that AI remains accessible to the general public.

to illustrate why the world is held back by engineering software (CAD, etc.): what would the world look like today if python were paywalled like matlab is, and there were no alternatives? apply that to everything we do and see the issue

People think Palantir watches you poop every morning but in reality Foundry is actually just Excel and PowerPoint crudely hot glued together with a vaguely user friendly UI and more buzzwords than any human is built to comprehend. Would be super useful if they had a personal subscription plan like Microsoft Office tho.

update on ireland protests that may be especially amusing to canadians

//The Wire//2300Z April 10, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: PROTESTS IN IRELAND CONTINUE TO GROW. AMERICAN LOGISTICAL FLIGHTS CONTINUE INTO MIDDLE EAST DURING CEASEFIRE. MARITIME TRAFFIC IN PERSIAN GULF REMAINS STAGNANT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Middle East: The ceasefire remains tenuous. Last night Kuwait reported attacks being conducted by several drones. Statements of condemnation were issued by government officials attributing the attacks to Iran, however the Iranians claim that they haven't conducted any attack. Separately, American logistical resupply efforts continue, with a notable increase in military flights moving cargo into the Middle East. Merchant traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely restricted, with a total of 12x vessels (including local traffic) transiting the waterway since the ceasefire came into effect two days ago. This afternoon Kevin Hassett, the Director of the National Economic Council, indicated that the timeline for expecting the Strait of Hormuz to be fully opened is roughly two months. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - Last night First Lady Melania Trump hosted a surprise press conference, in which she read a statement pertaining to the Jeffrey Epstein network. She confirmed that she had once emailed Ghislaine Maxwell, but denied that a relationship existed. She also called on Congress to act regarding the Epstein investigation, specifically via the testimony of victims against Epstein's network. California: Early this morning the residence of Sam Altman (the CEO of OpenAI) was targeted by an arsonist who threw a Molotov device at the front gate of his residence. The suspect initially fled on foot but was arrested soon after the incident. The suspect has not yet been identified. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: In Ireland, protests continue as before nationwide with most major roadways remaining shut down sporadically for a few hours each day due to protests. Whitegate Refinery remains a main focal point for protests which have become substantial in size. However, under the surface of the protests, tensions are bubbling and in Ireland no political issue is ever as simple as it seems at face value. One complicating factor which has contributed to the growing civil unrest has been statements made by Ireland's Deputy Police Commissioner Shawna Coxon, who has been the face of the police response to the demonstrations. Her statements themselves have been fairly standard by European standards, threatening all number of consequences for the protesters if they don't open up roadways. However, one delicate contention that isn't being conveyed by the media is not necessarily what is being said, but who is saying it. Coxon herself is not Irish...she's Canadian. Having built up a policing career in Toronto under Trudeau's government, she was instrumental in the now infamous crackdown on Canadian truckers years ago, who protested for different reasons but formed similar networks as the Irish are now forming. Now, she's the Deputy Police Commissioner for Operations in Ireland. Considering that a huge part of these protests is now becoming more of an Irish nationalism effort, what seems like a very small detail is actually becoming more important. A Canadian (who does not have an Irish accent) with a degree in mass surveillance wielding power over ethnic Irishmen is not being taken very well. As a result, what started as a small protest about taxes on agricultural diesel is becoming a much more widespread series of issues. Considering that as of this afternoon no progress has been made to address the concerns of demonstrators, this could lead to a much more substantial state of unrest over the next few days.

@WeaponOutfitter The only major hardware improvement relevant to most users in the past 10 years has mainly just been in relation to low light shooting.

When it comes to photography, software (aka skills) are far more important than hardware, but manufacturers don’t like this message and consumers outright reject it with hostility. (This is a tweet about guns)

@PeterWrangel I'm sure they could be if they had truly wanted to be, but they'd have to drop the theocracy to get there. Same as Germany or Britain.

"The most important discovery is that Iran is a great power." By no definition or act is Iran a great power.
Policy Tensor@policytensor

What have we learnt so far? What are the surprises? What has been discovered about the shape of the world? Here’s the five most important. 1 — The most important discovery is that Iran is a great power. This is a real discovery that was not known to the Iranians themselves; specifically, they could not be sure in advance that a strategic victory over the US was achievable. It is a fundamental discovery about the polarity of the system: there are now four great powers in the world and this structure will have very important consequences going forward. 2 — The idea that you can secure strategic objectives with the air weapon due to the precision-strike revolution has been debunked. The ‘combined-arms orthodoxy’ has been vindicated and proponents of strategic air war have again been proven wrong. 3 — We have learnt that Warden’s decapitation idea does not work against highly-institutionalized states. This was always the position of the serious scholars, but recent Israeli successes had sown some doubt about the thesis. These doubts have now vanished. 4 — We have learnt that a mature precision-strike regime is defense-dominant. Specifically, we have learnt that a great power can deny a global maritime power access to its near-abroad, curtailing the latter’s ability to project power. 5 — As a corollary of the above, the US command of the global commons is gone. The US is no longer a maritime hegemon that can guarantee access to even the most important chokepoint in the system. This is a development of great significance in the history of capitalism.

I fucking love designing magazines. It’s always a challenge, but I love the struggle. At first, I was intimidated by the complex curvatures around the feed lips, but once I understood how to construct them from the ground up, I now design every magazine the same way: starting with the bullet as the core, figuring out the taper angle of the casing, projecting the taper radius into paths, and creating profile curves to extrude them into solids. Once you see it that way, you can’t unsee it. It’s like finally seeing straight through the Matrix code.

The worst part of the reporting the last three years is desert people lie. All of them. Arabs will scratch the paint on a Humvee and claim 3 tank kills, and over a video everyday of an israeli tearing his clothes and claiming he was assaulted. The entire ME is terrible people, excepting maybe Egyptians and Jordanians on a good day
Max 📟@MaxNordau

75% of Democrat voters apparently believe that there was a genocide in Gaza. But there wasn’t a genocide in Gaza. So you have a large segment of the population believing an insane conspiracy theory. What happens when a society completely disconnects itself from reality?

Strikes me that the marks are the radial dispersion of a mortar round, given the ~4/5 horizontal bands on the 8cm mortars, and the fact that there isn't much by way of hints of conical dispersion from inherited velocity from an HE round. The scratches on both sides are fairly evenly deeper towards the center as well. How contained the shrapnel pattern is indicates external protection of some sort. I'm locking my final answer in as an 8cm mortar hit on applique sandbag armor. I'm not an expert on anything though.

@ASaltWeapons @FrenlyFrenchBoi The spread is very directional and horizontal, so I'd say low calibre high velocity HE from the rear left quarter
