In world first, Israel begins pumping desalinated water into depleted Sea of Galilee

Whats the units?

Centimetres.

Their 13 cm high plant specimen had a 456 cm deep root.

So like 15 feet

Or 4 Emperor penguins

That's about four and a half AR-15 assault rilfes

Depends if they're imperial Emperor penguins

US customary

It says cm, so centimeters (1/100 meter) - slightly less than 0.4 inches

decimal place issues... I hope.

there are ten mm in a cm

456cm == 4560mm

there are 24.5 mm per inch (it is the law).

4550mm / 25.4 = 179.527 inches

or about 14.9 feet

which is about 5 yards

which is 20% of a 'murican football field if that helps

The above comment was pointing out that each 1 centimeter is slightly less than 0.4 inches. If you want to be more precise, each centimeter is about 0.3937 inches.

Your correction to my perception of what you intended 0.4 inches to represent is accepted.

Awesome job!

Thank you!

There's a series called 100 ft wave on HBO. Great overview of the big wave community.

Also recommend the documentary Riding Giants.

This looks awesome. Embedded programming doesn’t get enough love. Did you think about making this an MCP (aka plugin) service that general agents a la claude code can leverage?

exposing the context layer as an MCP is a very interesting idea that I did not consider; could be a good way to drive adoption. great suggestion.

Not just the context layer: the hardware interaction layer would be incredibly useful as a local MCP. These seem to be your special sauce, not the UI. Allowing users to access these from their preferred editors or cli tools would probably help adoption a lot.

Great work building this. If I was still in the hardware space I'd be all over this.

I bought a speed queen which is more geared to commercial usage, but you can buy without coin slots. Has two knobs and one button!

Second that. They are a bit expensive. My DR5 was around $1200 USD, but yes it is super minimalistic.

This was smart advertising for his consulting practice he is starting.

This is awesome! Reminds me of an artist that would encapsulate items like cameras into resin and then slice them with a water jet cutter creating a different version of an 'exploded view'. Can't find the link.

Hmm. I think he sliced it after he encapsulated it. Or that's my memory! So he had a "book" of cut acrylic sheets/layers of the object.

You are right! Was thinking of the same artist just a different project he did. https://fabianoefner.com/the-bialetti-book/

Different take, but you might like Open Circuits too: https://www.opencircuitsbook.com/

The author does corss sections of a lot of electronic components and the more delicate ones were cast is resin first. Th "making of" is as cool as the end result!
