The multimaterial is going to be really interesting, combining TPU + PLA for example. Or TPU + PETG, who knows! In addition to standard multi-color needs!

Prusa are clearly tools: you can fix it, modify it, and still have warranty apply. You can get after-sales parts, and service. Bambu are appliances. They can work great out of the box, but appliances do not have upgrade paths. You do not

What value to a person does teaching "how to use it effectively" deliver? How does that benefit their development, learning, society as a whole? Before you start in with "it'll help them get a job", full stop - educ

I think "working product" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for you here. I think anyone who has done serious product development wouldn't be so flippant and dismissive about the difficulties of even conveying WHAT to build, le

The price hikes are going to be absolutely devastating. Imagine oracle level price acuity along with 0 competition and utter dependence. This is the future the AI labs are drooling for. You will be charged based on the value it delivers.

That's the thing, often when people say stuff like "its banned" what they really mean is: - the cost of mitigating the human health risk is too high - competitors in low-environmental regulation places don't pay for thos

Paint VOCs sounds fine, until it's done at industrial scale, and it's also your neighbor, and also all the children in the neighborhood have asthma, and also healthcare is a lot more expensive... This list isn't things you &q

I've used chatgpt-shell, but I have since turned my LLM usage to gptel inside org-mode buffers. Every day I use org-roam-dailies-goto-today to make a new file and turn on gptel (the use of org-roam-dailies is 100% optional). Then I d

If I wanted to do that, I'd just move into engineering management and work with something less temperamental and predictable - humans. I'd at least be more likely to get a boost in impact and ability to affect decision making, may

The "just generate go code automatically then check it in" is a massive miswart from the language, and makes perfect sense because that pathological pattern is central to how google3 works. A ton of google3 is generated, like outp

It's kind of weird how you downplay tardive dyskinesia, as if it was kind of a no big deal, whatever kind of thing. Would you accept having tardive dyskinesia induced by a drug? Is that really your position? Your other words seem fine

regarding #2: "Automate the dumb/boring stuff", I always think of the big short when Michael Burry said "yes I read all the boring spreadsheets, and I now have a contrary position". And ended up being RIGHT. For ex

The author is pointing out that aggregate productivity hasn't really gone up. The graphs are fairly compelling. There are many reasons for your experience, and I am glad you are having them! That's great! But the fact remains, o

Apparently Mac sales are seeing a big growth spurt lately. This isnt obvious at the Apple bottom line because iPhone dominates, but they are growing that market segment! The apple silicon has driven a ton of people to laptops, and the wind

There was a quote recently where Nadella was trash talking the apple AI stuff, and like yes sure, but also do we not realize that Nadella isn't a random third party CEO, he's literally financially incentivized to maximize AI usage

I think the reason why Apple hasnt come out with such a useful personal assistant AI is because the underlying technology just doesn't make this so easy. Apple is the only company so far that seems to be unwilling to accept a poor user

As a long time Mac and iPhone user, I just don't get all the complaints about innovation. Macs are as innovative as they ever have been, maybe more. Apple silicon has been an absolute powerhouse and godsend for battery life. iPhones

From a CEO pov this move makes no sense, as evidenced by the fact that literally no on else does it. It goes against all MBA orthodoxy.

I think there are parallels with functional languages on the JVM. The parts that are the worst are the parts that were built for maximum interoperability. Not to mention that the JVM forces classes on you at the deepest opcode levels. Com

Because there's a strategic benefit and the cost is practically negligible compared to the cost of this section of the economy going away. That is the political calculation, not "throw good money after bad" kind of economics

This article is literally the definition of TL;DR. It's fairly hard to get thru, I spaced and skipped the conclusion, that the treatment isn't permanent and can be undone.

The notion that "many localities completely controlled by Democrats" is just not really true. The idea that zoning reform is a no-brainer and easy is also clearly not true: it's been a major teeth pull in SF and California,

A restaurant out of your home presents a public health risk sadly. Foodborne illnesses are rare, because of the regulations placed on commercial food sellers. There are likely ways we can give more latitude, but home kitchens often cannot

It's rather ironic since we know that women, poc, and more often face a lot of professional resistance, and therefore have to be better than average to succeed. Which means when you come across a black or female professional who has ri

It’s not often you get 100x optimization with some small improvements so I’m kind of skeptical. We have and apples and oranges thing here which deepseek is intentionally leaning into. They get very cheap electricity and are bragging about t
