Tried to develop a roll of film with instant coffee and got a surprise

I saw a video about Caffenol and thought, how hard can it be? Mixed up the brew in my kitchen, left it for 12 minutes, and the negatives came out with a weird orange tint. Anyone know if that's from the washing soda or my terrible measuring?

Question about a model training crash in a small lab

I was running a new vision model on a local server in Austin last Thursday, using about 40GB of VRAM. Halfway through a 72-hour training cycle, the whole system froze. The logs just showed a memory leak in a custom data loader I wrote. I had to hard reboot, losing nearly a day of progress. I fixed it by adding better garbage collection and cutting the batch size in half. Has anyone else hit a similar wall with long training jobs on limited hardware?

Pulling the handsaw on crosscuts gives a smoother edge, and I'll never go back.

After a site survey, I believe we overrate physical excavation

Many dig teams think you must be on location to understand a site fully. I disagree because tech lets us see things we might miss. Our crew did 3D scans of a burial ground and spotted faint carvings. When our boss was out, we shared data online and fixed mistakes quickly. Some fear remote review hurts group vibe, but it included more experts. I know people who grew their careers by learning these new tools. We should not cling to old ways when better options exist.
