Generative AI usage
All text on this website is written by me, without LLM assistance; I believe that passing off AI-written text as human-authored is an insult to the reader.
I may use LLMs for code generation (e.g. Javascript and CSS wrangling, or programmatically generating SVGs). I don't intend to use generative models for images or figures, because I prefer my own ugly diagram style over highly polished figures.
Contact
Send me an email and say hi! Don't be shy: if you're considering emailing me, then I probably want to hear from you, and I will almost certainly reply.
There are two exceptions:
If you need help with any of the open-source projects that I maintain, please open an issue in the relevant repository. Replying to emails privately helps a single person; if I'm spending time answering questions that others may have, I'd rather do it in public.
I can't offer any support for Formlab products, having not worked there in several years. This is particularly true for OpenFL; please contact Formlabs customer support or start a discussion on their forums. I will not help you hack / reverse engineer your printer.
