Here's the thing you come to realize as the owner of a 3D printer: Ink cartridges are expensive for a good reason. Printing is hard. 2D printers are amazing. You can feed in cheap paper that's been sitting in a humid environment and they work very reliably. We get frustrated when they don't work because it's unexpected.

There are a whole bunch of different factors that go into something as simple as 2D printing. For example, what are the physical characteristics of the paper? Are the sheets stuck together? Is it too thick for the rollers to pick up? Are the edges within good enough tolerance that it'll move in a straight line through the printer?

And then ink (for an inkjet printer) is a whole other level of chemistry and materials science. You have a suspension of pigment in a solution that has to reliably form consistent sized droplets that get sprayed out of microscopic holes in the printhead onto the paper, and stick there. What if the ink is too viscous for the holes? What if the holes are clogged? The end-user doesn't want to worry about these things, they just want to print. So you end up packaging the ink into sealed containers with the printhead built in so that in theory the end user never has to worry about these issues as long as the cartridge is reasonably fresh.

So why are they so expensive? Because people don't want to spend a lot of money on a machine they only see themselves using occasionally. So if they buy a printer, they will generally buy the cheapest one that fits their needs. That means if a printer manufacturer wants to sell printers to the average consumer, they need to compete with their competitors on price, which is a race to the bottom. So the printer manufacturers figure that they'll sell the printer at a loss and make the sales up on ink cartridges.

In reality, the reason that inkjet printing is so expensive is because a ton of complexity is abstracted away from the average consumer. Laser printers win because they're in a different category of technology than inkjets, so consumers are willing to overlook the high price because it's a laser printer. Combined with the fact that toner expires much more slowly than ink, and drums and other laser printer parts generally wear much longer, and laser printers end up with a better reputation.

These problems have not yet been solved for consumer 3D printers. The best you can do is buy a reliable printer (like a Prusa) and then buy good quality filament that has been tested with that printer (like Prusament) and then follow all the instructions very carefully. But if you buy a cheap printer and cheap filament then you start to realize why good quality stuff is expensive. The reason why commercial and industrial printers are so expensive is because businesses don't want to mess around with tweaking their printers constantly, they just want them to work. Which is the same as most consumers want out of their 2D printers, which is why they're perceived to be so expensive, when in actuality they are surprisingly affordable for what they do and how accurately they do it.
I'm surprised that they aren't trying to integrated it into the CPU like Qualcomm does with the Snapdragon processors.
I also have a brother monochrome laser. My wife is a teacher at a school with an understocked library, so we easily print 50k pages a year. It just keeps going...
Part of the problem is that increase in population happened in outward sprawl. There isn't anything particularly incompatible with a modernized version of that transit system at that density.
Something like 90% in primary education should in my mind be a goal. But when we get to policies that don't allow repeating classes if needed, there really isn't any clear solution to keep kids on their level.

This disconnect is common, stark, and very obvious to all. I've long been genuinely amazed that companies allow this state of things to persist. It makes them look really terrible, and certainly doesn't help to make the case that users sacrificing some privacy to the software maker actually results in benefits to the user.
Well how else are you going to do it?

‘Fairness’ in job losses might be necessarily inhumane: you either do it purely by the metrics or you throw the metrics out in favour of manager discretion. Neither way is great, one is definitely slower

One round of highlighting is almost worthless on its own. BUT. "Progressive summarization" (term coined by Tiago Forte) starts with broad highlighting, followed by 1-2 more rounds of increasingly refined highlighting, and finally rewriting material in own words based on the last round of highlights. Leads to deeper understanding and recall etc.
The florid writing is an elitist fad; you can express the same idea in much simpler language without losing any meaning.
True story: When I was coming up with the name I found a HN article about Thorium reactors, thought it was cool, and it conveniently fit into the naming scheme for other simulator controls I've worked on.
They might not owe us anything legally but "open" seemed like a sort of promise.

I think society can only benefit if we keep companies accountable for their misleading marketing. Same goes for all that green-washing BS going on these days.
I was more emphasizing that if Apple was willing to "go it alone" on their CPUs (which they did by an acquisition, to be sure) then they probably have no issue at all "going alone" on the radio/modem, and I'm actually a bit surprised they didn't do that first - I guess modems are more complicated/difficult than CPUs.
> cargo/crate.io is fundamentally different from debian

Given the OP, note that packages on crates.io don't (and can't) reference Github. Crates.io has its own storage, and the only way to upload a crate to crates.io is if 100% of its dependencies are also on crates.io.

> we are about 300 sheets in and still lots of ink left. (This is impossible on an HP cartridge inkjet).

Generally, the cartridges lasted well over a ream of paper (500 sheets) for me, often closer to two.

However, the "setup" cartridges that most of their printers come with are much smaller, and don't last as long. This fundamentally seems like a bad marketing move, giving people a poor initial impression of how long ink cartridges last.

(My personal reason for always going for HP is that they reliably work with Linux, even over the network, for both printing and scanning.)

> if you use a cable not OK'd by us, you're on your own

That is misbehavior from Apple, because it adds a cost to the consumer. MiFi is absolutely not free.

The consumer friendly option is allowing the use of a perfectly good USB-C cable (from J5 Create, for example) that doesn't have the MiFi tax without artificial restrictions.
It’s open source. I believe you can self-host it.
I don't see the irony here. Those two cases are barely related other than that both involve Germany.
I bought a Brother printer based on the review from rtings.com and I haven't looked back.
It's under development, so screenshots are few at this point.

It's also open-source, so it's free to download! Alpha are in the Github releases page.
Allow me to be an annoying pedant for a moment: Isn't that a bit tautological? The bottom half of the bell curve is below the mean in a normal distribution by definition. There's always going to be a lower half as long as we model statistics.
The design they leaked was accurate. The appearance of a single cutout is created by software.
Life was objectively better than it was during the 2019 than during the great recession. If anything is gaslighting, it's denying that reality. That period of time is also when teen suicides started dramatically increasing. Many people notice that it also coincides with the rise of social media, so that's an obvious culprit, and scientists have conducted studies that suggest that this may be the case. However, that's not good enough for far leftists, so they weaponize issues like teen suicides and global warming to raise awareness to class consciousness, despite having no objective data supporting the notion that abolishing capitalism will somehow fix these issues.

Let's say a service is written Go, but it's inefficient. Some engineers are diagnosing the problem. It's not helpful to deny their work by proclaiming that Go is shit, and any solution that doesn't involve rewriting the service in Rust is counterproductive, especially when you know that very few people would agree with you.
this is so much cheaper than fine-tuned model; it would make sense to try and use the multi-shot prompt in the 3.5turbo model. plus, there's the hundreds/thousands of training items that you wouldn't need to create....fml

Haunted Castle Arcade Game
I seem to remember a lot of the 90s fighting games like mortal kombat and killer instinct had the finisher combos on the side of the arcade machine. Everyone wanted to do the finishers, but internet in your pocket did not yet exist.
Anything like this for Windows?
This is good advice, but I don't think this is why most people with printers don't have them. I need to print something approximately two times a year. I would rather go to my office or the library when that happens rather than have even a very functional appliance taking up space in my apartment. I have never in my life needed to print something so urgently that I can't wait until the library is open.
>What's the best way to learn a thing?

Wow, really activates my almonds. That massive complex academic performance for a conclusion you could have received if you just asked your grandmother.

To me, this is a branch of scientism.
It's not. Median rents in NYC is over $4k. LA is nowhere near that.

"Factoring income" is also a non-sensical qualifier for how expensive a metro is. Using that measure then Miami would be considered far and away the most expensive metro in the country.

Probably several signals including clustering via IP address.

A couple of years ago I discovered I'd been banned from AirBNB. They didn't notify me this happened and it was months after I'd last used the service (which left a good review), so I only discovered once I tried to log in much later. I know it wasn't related to the prior stay because they'd been emailing me to thank me for being a part of the "AirBNB community" for months afterwards.

As far as I could tell the only possible reason was that my girlfriend had a dumb moment and booked a place for a friend, and that friend then invited other people round in the apartment. It wasn't trashed or anything but the neighbours complained about the noise (they were playing loud music or something). So by the transitive rule of AirBNB: random person I never met makes too much noise once -> girlfriend banned -> me banned.

We weren't married and the accounts weren't obviously linkable in any way, except that we use the same internet connection. So presumably they're clustering based on that.

AirBNB claims in the article that it "employs an appeals process for people who feel they have been unfairly banned". This isn't true. The only way to appeal was to click a button, and because they don't tell you why you were banned and back then I hadn't figured out they were clustering users, all I could write was something like "I can't log in and don't understand why". Then you get a stock email back a few hours later saying the ban was upheld. That's not an appeals process worthy of the name.

I understand the chain of reasoning that leads to this sort of thing, but ultimately hotels don't pull this kind of stunt and have lots of other advantages so AirBNB is dead to me even if one day the ban is reversed. If the model AirBNB is using requires this sort of hyper-aggressive banning of users who have not actually done anything wrong then it's a broken and unsustainable model. Competitors like booking.com clearly don't need anything like this either, so that's where my business goes these days.
Huge quantity of work here. Really stunning.

How is this sustainable through donations alone?
Oh my !

A software engineer’s corporate laptop was compromised, allowing the unauthorized threat actor to gain access to a cloud-based development environment and steal source code, technical information, and certain LastPass internal system secrets.
I've been using Godot 4 exclusively since around Beta 8 and have had little to no trouble adapting. Godot 4 has had documentation for a while now, and finding the "new" version of whatever I needed was always pretty easy. That's only going to get better.

There is also of course the Godot 4 channel in the Godot Discord that is helpful.
So why not teach them in their primary language? It is not like big groups are too small... And there is no official language. So mandating that selected number of schools including universities receiving public funding must have sufficient classes and courses in some other language should be entirely possible.
You didn’t like Gantz:O?
What the xkcd chart misses is that if you can get a hundred people to use your code, the payback curve is a lot more forgiving. Parr only needs 366 customers for the universe to balance out, and that’s only if you didn’t grow as a person as part of doing that work.

I don’t do volunteer work for myself. I do, but also I don’t.

Netflix is a terrible example, because they grew off the back of finding value in under-valued content (the back catalogue content of big studios, streaming rights of newer content). Now that the value has been identified, they have to give up the rights to the newly-valued content and/or raise prices.
Sure, but I won't self host something, and basically contribute as a tester, without knowing what it will look like. This is due to how I value my time.
Tigris transaction internals and how they compare to MongoDB
> I have no idea how OpenAI can make money on this. This has to be a loss-leader to lock out competitors before they even get off the ground.

The worst thing that can happen to OpenAI+ChatGPT right now is what happened to DallE 2, a competitor comes up with an alternative (even worse if it's free/open like Stable Diffusion) and completely undercuts them. Especially with Meta's new Llama models outperforming GPT-3, it's only a matter of time someone else gathers enough human feedback to tune another language model to make an alternate ChatGPT.
Tigris is an open source alternative to MongoDB Atlas. Tigris uses FoundationDB's transactional key-value interface as its underlying storage engine. This blog post will explore how Tigris offers serializable transactions using FoundationDB and compare it with MongoDB.
I am happy that we designed our UI for Fibery AI Assistant ready for chat, less re-work!

Looks like a super decent release and price cut makes it sane to use.
Token limit is is same, and this is not great for many use cases...
It's interesting to see discussions here that are adamant that this is only about improving profit, or only about quality (battery), or only about getting back at qualcomm.

Apple has repeatedly shown that you don't have to make decisions on one to compromise the other. You can launch your own chip (M1), and improve quality (battery, perf), and improve profits, and get back at intel.

It's the same here. Watch the iFixit teardown videos to see just how big the standalone qualcomm modem chip is. I knew it was big, but it was even bigger than I thought.

Apple moving to an integrated chip can be a win in both quality (battery improvement and space on the SoC to put other stuff), cost, and getting back at qualcomm (who is getting more and more like Intel of mobile world, comfortable, monopolistic, litigative). They've proven that a vertically integrated SoC is better in every way.

So maybe stop arguing whether it's "this or that" it's this and that.
> living standards, employment prospects, ...

Is it possible that dividing GDP by population isn't a good indicator of whether "life got objectively worse" for people living in conditions of increasing inequality?

Perhaps the prospect of juggling three gig jobs that can disappear in an instant, while still not being able to pay for rent and healthcare, isn't an ideal "employment prospect".

Or perhaps the data cited in the article isn't granular enough to point at root causes. Yes, young people are depressed and anxious. But when we understand that persistent sadness and hopelessness is far more prevalent among teen girls than teen boys, now we can look at what's different for girls than boys.

One hint is that among teens, the vast majority of minutes spent on Instagram are by girls, not boys. Boys are online a lot too, but gaming is a different social and behavioral animal.

And most studies looking for correlations between social media usage and mental health are flawed, because they are typically dose-response studies. If individuals who consume 15 meals a week of fast food have greater rates of diabetes than individuals who never eat fast food, then that's a good correlation (though not necessarily causation)!

But that method fails for social media, because social media is a collective activity. Girls who spend five hours a day on Instagram are mediating relationships through the app and neglecting in-person social activity, and we know that's unhealthy.

But girls who stay off social media are out of the loop, socially isolated, probably ostracized for being weird, because their friends are still on it for five hours a day.

High rates of social media usage damage both frequent users and infrequent users, so it's hard to see that in dose-response correlations.
Not allow resetting from a device only with the pin?

Also don’t allow the pin for some operations (or let you disable this). E.g. for viewing passwords or other sensitive operations besides login, it’d be safer for me to not allow pin access and only Face ID.
I did one of these at THAT Conference a few years back with a few friends. In our case, we had the main display and then each person had their own console with their area - weapons, nav, engineering, and science - and the captain had to call out commands and make the whole thing work.

We walked in thinking it would be fun but almost silly.. and walked out drained because it was intense. You don't have time to do anything than monitor your own display and make sure you're ready for a variety of things that could happen next.

Obviously, there were zero stakes (other than embarrassing yourself) but had a new perspective on what naval battle may be like.

If you have the chance to do it - especially in person with the big displays - do it.
Serifs in font design serve a similar purpose to OPC.
I don't think a clean Debian stable install uses that today.

It also seems to jeopardize their own ChatGPT Pro offering. It's a matter of time before someone makes a 1:1 clone for either half the money or a usage-based pricing model.
I've idly and very-casually thought about this for a long time, ever since decentralized filesharing really. If you ever do feel that you're in a position to take a stab at it, I'd be interested as well.
Is there no separation between the blue-collar working class and the homeless/hopeless class?
Not quite, since its theoretically possible to move the whole bell curve right with improved teaching methodologies, meaning the bottom half could then meet our current reading and math criteria. No one has found a way to do this though.
What I don't get, maybe someone can explain, is why the USB-C hardware status is not communicated more. As I understood it, the phone should have all the information it needs to communicate to the user why the iPhone is not charging as fast as it should. I don't get why the user must trouble-shoot, can't the phone explain everything to him? E.g. you need a better cable or you need a better charger, including infos about where the bottleneck is and how fast it's currently being charged.
I would love this with the setup of the Expanse and somehow combined with the combat of Children of a Dead Earth.
The effects of preschool have been studied and showed no benefits after grade 3. Not sure about the year round portion of it, but it seems to me this is a narrative born from intuition and not from evidence.
I'd hope that Apple's existing USB-C stuff will work properly. I've only been buying Apple's USB-C chargers with USB-C to Lightning cables in anticipation of this move.

This is incredibly cheap, it makes you wonder how in the world they managed to make it 10x cheaper than davinci-003 and still a better model? The world of robo-consulting is about to go insane.
I know that I'm jaded (and I would argue not without reason), but it's hard for me to trust that software is fully and correctly disclosing what data it's sending.

What I've seen some software (including some enterprise software) do -- and what I do with my own products -- is generate a human-readable text file that the user can email to the company. Then the user can be 100% certain of what data is and is not being reported. It also gives the user the opportunity to redact any data they are not comfortable sharing.
