I wonder if those "AI probes" are seen in other channels too
<ndnihil>
all over
<ndnihil>
most of the internet is either porn, or "AI" bots arguing with each other
<J24k>
I mean a human hopefully would click the correct link to test script online on the website
<J24k>
maybe we should put the playground into that list

teepee: Should we rename the "OpenSCAD Chat" on the website? Perhaps "OpenSCAD IRC Channel" is not clear. Maybe "OpenSCAD Discussion Channel" or "OpenSCAD Realtime Discussion". Maybe the last would create impatience or too many jokes though. :)
<InPhase>
I think it's clear the word "Chat" has been stolen.
<ndnihil>
just stick unprintable characters in between the letters
<ndnihil>
that way it looks like "Chat" to humans, but looks like "C<char>h<char>a<char>t" to bots
<ndnihil>
/like using boldtoggle+boldtoggle to get around otherwise not being able to lead an IRC statement with a slash without it being interpreted as a command
<ndnihil>
^B^B/ is what client/server sees it as
<ndnihil>
it's also good for getting around word filters and auto-actions
<ndnihil>
but, a good number of the bots dont get their targets from web scraping
<ndnihil>
they /list -yes that shit

What would be the best way to make a trumpet shape?
<ndnihil>
math and stuff
<teepee>
model an elephant and carefully remove the body?
<ndnihil>
really depends on your end goal, how you want it shaped, what kind of profile
<ndnihil>
teepee: lol
* teepee
should get some sleep ;-)
<teepee>
hmm, is it a straigt shape, then rotate_extrude() maybe
<UltimateCodeWarr>
I'll start with a difference between two cones.
<UltimateCodeWarr>
Maybe smoosh it down in one dimenions
<UltimateCodeWarr>
dimension If need be
<ndnihil>
yeah I was thinking rotate_extrude a polygon, or maybe importing svg or something
<ndnihil>
depending in the use case
<UltimateCodeWarr>
That would probably be the best for a specific shape

what will this trumpet shape be used for? just a visual part, will it need to interact with a fluid?
<UltimateCodeWarr>
The end goal was to make some sort of sound funnel to a microphone that was shielded from the weather
<ndnihil>
that's going to sound awful
<ndnihil>
echo'y and muddy
<UltimateCodeWarr>
Would like to capture sound from as many directions as I could, but if there is a driving rain, I didn't want it to ruin the microphone
<ndnihil>
sound doesn't like to be funneled
<ndnihil>
on the way in at least
<ndnihil>
seems ok with it on the way out (speaker box ports for example)
<ndnihil>
you can get weatherproof mics
<UltimateCodeWarr>
Didn't think about the weather proof mics, that's a good suggestion
