Ask HN: What are the questions I should be asking about AI?

Fri, 11/08/2024 - 3:49pm

As an old (color die covered) grey hair one of the most useful questions I often ask is 'What questions should I be asking?'. At the end of a job interview. When starting a project. When talking to customers. When talking to vendors. When talking to reports about tools/frameworks/solutions they want to implement. Even in the rare moments when I have a brief flash of self awareness, when talking to myself.

So Hacker News, what questions should I be asking about AI? On a developer level? On a customer level? On an investor level? On an implementer level? On a civilizational level?

Show HN: Braille Generator for 3D Printing

Fri, 11/08/2024 - 3:42pm

During a course that I did about OpenSCAD, a student asked me if it was possible to use it to generate Braille. I answered that it would be possible, but I didn't have an example to show. Then I created my own.

This was created using OpenSCAD, which allows to generate Braille directly from Thingiverse, using Customizer. As OpenSCAD is a programming language, this can also be used as a library.

If you want to use it outside Thingiverse, either as library or for generating Braille in your desktop, please use the code available in GitHub: https://github.com/lucasoshiro/openscad-braille. The one in Thingiverse has a lot of workarounds that were needed due to the Customizer limitations.
