Chandelier Saga Part 3: Assembly
And here's the exciting part--putting everything together!
We have:
Pieces being cut on the laser cutter
Treating all the wood with flame-retardant
Sorting all the pieces back out (I etched a label on every piece so this would be feasible.)
Beginning to construct the skin, expanding radially from the bottom center
Assembling the parts for the support structure, along with getting the bulb sockets in place.
Attaching the substructure into the skin
Testing it out (and replacing the bulb that released the magic smoke)
Moving it upstairs and finishing construction in the living room
Just barely fitting it into the car.
And that was it! I was done! It would be hung by rigging professionals, and it would be beautiful! Photos of it installed will be coming in another post.
The last few weeks were pretty darn busy for me partly because I was working to complete a large order of these horned crowns. The customer needed 40 of them for a youth theater performance. Since hand work is only marginally sped up by parallelizing, I did them in series, shipping them out in batches of 5 as I completed them. The one thing I was sad about was that it meant I couldn’t get a photo with a huge pile of all 40 of them, as I never had more than 10 at a time.
This was easily the largest order I’ve received. It was tiring, but exciting.
Prof. Bruno Latour talks on "Ecological Crises, Digital Humanities and New Political Assemblies," as part of the Azim Premji University Public Lecture Series March 23, 2012 About the Talk Ecological crises in contemporary times have created problems for political representation. Existing political assemblies cannot handle these crises due to their scale, the esoteric character of the scientific knowledge necessary to apprehend them, and the intensity of conflicts of values that they generate. Digital resources suggest new possibilities for mapping the heterogeneous networks which link scientists, decision makers, media, citizens and other participants in public debates over ecological issues. They can create political assemblies where contending world views and modes of reasoning engage each other.
Yeeep. Also, Assembly languages is different for every CPU family (And sometimes generations within those) because the assembly instructions (Which is... ALL the keywords in any assembly language) maps 1:1 to "what the CPU can do". So if you know a bit of assembly, suddenly, you have the ability to easily look up "What can this family of CPU's do?".
Reason to learn assembly #1
You will be able to better understand the program output of your compiler (specially if using C, C++ or Rust). Because in the end people using those languages want all the tasty performance their code can achieve, knowing assembly can be pretty useful for evaluating the scope of some optimizations. "Do I really need to do this optmization or does the compiler know it already?", "Does the compiler know how to inline this lambda?", "Is the compiler smart enough to get rid of this loop for me when I enable this thing?" and so on
Not only that, but you will be able to have some intuition when comparing the performance of similar code by its assembly code.
A really cool tool abot the subject is called Compiler Explorer and it basically lets you easily analyse the output of your code online
