I'm pretty active in r/3DPrinting and r/FixMyPrint, and strongly support the blackout. I've been avoiding Reddit entirely and getting my news from other sources, while also exploring the fediverse. I had no idea about the rhombik instance/magazine/whatever.

The core problem with the migration is that the information on where to go EXACTLY is hosted on the platform being boycotted. I decided to not visit Reddit anymore and watch for instances to pop up on the fediverse. If others do the same, the migration will be slow. Don't be discouraged if it takes a few days to pick up steam. There's another 3DPrinting magazine that has some users already. https://kbin.social/m/3dprinting@lemmy.world or https://lemmy.world/c/3dprinting

That leads to the second problem of on-boarding migrating users to a highly distributed platform. I've mentioned in the boycott server the need for "racks" (the subjects within instances are called magazines, this would be a collection). These would be moderated aggregators of instances, like the invisible step between lots of disparate subreddits. There would be no limit of the number of racks, so technically you could have a permutation of every associated magazine-instance combination. The purpose would be to have a single link new users can click on to get subscribed to a set of magazines all at once, basically making the federation concept seamless to less technical users while still highly flexible on the backend. I'm going to shoot the suggestion up the chain for kbin.

We want to avoid leaving folks like this: https://lemmy.world/post/97417

That leads to the third problem, which is all these alternatives are new and going through growing pains. Trying to add features comes second to keeping the service stable. I'm hoping others with more coding experience can assist kbin devs.

And I wanted to mention that last I heard (and saw evidence of), some of the main Lemmy devs were kinda garbage people (Tiananmen Square massacre supporters, not just questionable opinions on government). The more controversial instances have been defederated from the primary/intake server, but it's still worth mentioning. Kbin doesn't have that baggage, but there are only a couple devs, and really only one main dev, last I heard.

Kbin users can see and respond to Lemmy and Mastodon instances that are federated, so it has been the migration choice for most of the Reddit boycott groups.

edit: btw - I just looked at the comments on the one post. If you want to run a poll, fine, but most of the people protesting won't be there to vote. I thought the 3D printing subs were largely positive and supporting, if those comments represent the community I was supporting, I now have zero qualms about deleting my comments on Reddit.

It would make sense to try to check this, if there's a reasonable way to access a database of trusted certificate logs. If not, it's going to be tricky; I wouldn't fail a certificate that had a SCT from an unknown log, because it might be valid and you don't know. Etc.
There is no EV that met my requirements: 500hp luxury coupe.

Looking past my anecdotal experience, there are many other contributing factors to why people don’t want an EV. Yes, high purchase price is a big driver, but things like a lack of charging infrastructure, battery technology not being ready yet (big agree from me on this one), and people just straight up preferring an ICE are not far behind.

To generalize and say that anyone who isn’t buying an EV is doing so because they can’t afford one is factually wrong.

Cool idea! nice to see these all in one place.

one suggestion, on non-ultrawide screens when you scroll you no longer see the left labels, would be cool to have them float when you start scrolling left so they're always visible.
I've been using the same programming language for the last 20 years. I don't need any of that crap :-Þ
I’ve become very cynical of these types of tiny computer products. These computers are like puppies that tech nerds will gush over and buy impulsively, do a couple small things with, then never use again.

It seems like the smaller it is, the crazier people get.
That’s what I ask all the 401k nerds. You could literally die next week. Sure seems like a great way to live; when you’re young and in your prime, live below your means to max out your 401k, which there’s a fair risk you won’t live to see or enjoy, or… just stop hoarding money and live your life (I’m not saying be financially ignorant or irresponsible).

17.27% of men don’t live to age 60, and another ~6%, or 23.57% of men overall, don’t make it to age 65.[1] For reference, one must typically be age 59.5 before they can withdraw from their 401k without penalty.

So, if you save for 40 years, live below your means so you can maybe have a chance at enjoying all that money you’ve socked away. Pretty crazy to think that nearly a quarter of us won’t live to see or use the money beyond 5 or 6 years after retirement.

> especially that 1/4 are teslas. people don’t feel lack of individuality buying the same car that everyone else has?

I felt it, and I intentionally did test drives for alternatives before even considering a Tesla, but it just didn't make any logical sense for me to get something different after evaluating all the factors.

The factors I was considering were price, range, acceleration, how fun to drive it was, size (I didn't want a giant SUV, and I would rather get a smaller 2-seater car similar to Subaru BRZ), and the ease of charging/not having to worry about charging on trips or preplanning it. The whole autopilot/FSD thing wasn't even a factor for me, and I still ended up going with Tesla.

4 years later, I feel the lack of individuality with that car even more, and the market for new EVs from other manufacturers certainly looks much better than it did in 2019, but I still would have picked Model 3 even today tbh. Just not ever having to ever worry about preplanning my charging on any trips (or having to think about it at all ever) is amazing. And I am saying that as someone who lives in an apartment in the middle of a city, without my own dedicated garage.

I would love to get a different car that is not a "everyone drives the same one" car that hits all those factors at least just as well. But even with the current state of the EV market, i feel like it will just end up in me replacing my Model 3 with a souped up Model 2 a few years down the road.

P.S. I feel like the lack of individuality due to everyone getting the same car sucks, but it usually happens for a good reason. One of my favorite cars of all time to actually drive was a honda civic, and it definitely was also one of those "everyone drives the same one because it addresses a lot of important factors and is a good value for what you pay for it" types of a car (under the whole civic/accord/corolla/camry umbrella of car models). And I just ended up convincing myself that if i really cared about the lack of individuality of the car model i have that much, I would just customize it with a non-stock color or finish vinyl wrap. Which I ended up never doing, as I realized it just doesn't bother me that much yet.

I think there may have been a slight misunderstanding here (I'm not particularly familiar with this topic so I may have some concepts mistaken):

> The lab-leak scenario presumes zoonotic jump, too. Just rather than from something in the wild, it's from humanized (ACE2-transgenic) mice

> So the only reasonable conclusion so far is that we haven't found the reservoir host yet.

> I do not believe one bit the only "reasonable conclusion" is it has to be from nature.

If it's discovered that the reservoir host was a mouse in a lab at WIV then "we will finally be able to make another step in this whole saga" in the same way as it being discovered as a wild host. It might be worth reading their comment again.

(Again, I'm not deeply familiar with this topic and may be totally off base; gluing together my personal understanding of the meanings of these words has me arriving at this conclusion. I'm also attempting to clarify someone else's statements so take another grain of salt for that.)

I have used glass garolite pei and a number of other things.

Shockingly the quality goes down in a monopoly. Who knew? It's right there in the article: "it works great for obscure queries" Replace "obscure" with "unmonetized" and it makes perfect sense. You managed to bypass the monetization layer, added over the last 10 years of monopolization, and somehow accessed the ancient google systems that the monetization hides from you. It's like a science fiction novel plot.

Reddit can't even search their own site, which is one of the reasons "reddit <search term>" is a thing. So Reddit is definitely not going to step into the void.

Bing is just more of the same of Google, but with more MBA sociopaths. We know that road. Oh right, they've changed!

Every competing search engine has basically failed, by some measure of the startup unicorn measuring stick. And there is the problem.

So it sounds like low profit / open source is needed.

The dumb thing is there are probably an entire two or three teams worth of ex-googlers that could write a new google out there. They are probably all retired millionaires and have noncompetes signed or something on the way out of the door.

Maybe what we need is some good old jingoism. We need places like France, England, Poland, etc to view things the way Baidu/China do: make your own country-focused search that is competitive (it's not rocket science at this point). And then a meta-search engine merging those results would be cheaper

I don't know Rust well and was having trouble the finding the docs I needed, so I asked AI for help. Google Bard, I think. It had real difficulty producing code that ran and worked.

The problem was that there were breaking API changes across versions of the library, but it was just using probabilities of method names being correct, and it didn't ask me or tell me which version of the library it was targeting, so it was just a mismash of incompatible code.

But the code LOOKED good and the AI was confident it was a good answer. Overall, it felt like wasted time sifting through confidently-wrong answers.
Great resource. I initially skipped clicking on this because I thought "UnsuckJS" was yet another JavaScript framework.
> Why is the blame on people for what is made available to them? This wouldn't be 'protecting people from their own mental and moral malleability,' this would be preventing others from making this which abuse those malleability for profit.

I do believe our own actions are the only thing we have absolute control in life. In a perfect world, maybe such efforts would be more effective. I take in account the subjectivity of human actions and behavior in that case. The amount of safeguards you would need to put in order to protect people in that scenario would leak into many other areas, or create an eternal conflict at minimum (it isn't like we don't have one already...). I believe that education and knowledge is the path to solve such issues, because it creates a mechanism for people to deal with them (like a vaccine), not to never see them.

> The same type of argument you have made here could be made for legalizing ponzi schemes. People _should_ know that there is no quick rich scheme and the history of these schemes are full of fraudsters. Is it wrong to ban this type of abuse because their victims made the choice to engage in the first place?

People should be educated about it. It wouldn't solve all the problems immediately, but it is more efficient if people protect themselves from these issues. Ponzi schemes are illegal and they still an issue, the same would happen to other regulations in my opinion. Companies always find a way to profit.

Social media is a moneymaking machine, and data is valuable. It's not just internet fun, it's serious business. In a way, i don't think they are too far apart. I dislike social media and haven't used it in many years. You could apply regulations, is not that it is wrong, it's just ineffective against underlying issues and the problem itself in the long term. The effort should be more towards a long term solution. The line here is blury, that's what happen when you deal with humans. You could go towards the "protect people from harm" or "give them tools for self-protection" idea, i honestly prefer the latter.
The cold pull is with the PTFE tubing taken out but yeah, I didn't realize how cheap it was to replace/upgrade the hot end, I will just do that. Thanks for the tip!
It is from the person most involved in the faster-with-GIL effort, and its recommendation is to prioritize that effort in any case, and if the resources are available for that and no-gil, do both.

Not that I disagree with the recommendation, but one of the sides saying “as long as resources make us choose, choose my side” is...not really surprising.
Without an empirical reference somewhere in the conversation, it's just fanfic.
> It has become popular to be far left; it hasn't been popular to be far right in decades.

It's become popular in your cohort to be far left perhaps - but it hasn't in mine, and it definitely hasn't in the generation currently in high school.

For example: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/massachusetts/articl...

Note that I don't care about that source in particular, it was just the first one that came up when I searched. The point is, that school had a vocal "rebellion" against what is commonly seen as a leftist plank. The reaction of the school's administration - and now, the media - certainly hasn't helped. If anything it has solidified those kids' views.

For me, where I live (the US "Mid-South") it never became popular to be on the left. While perhaps "far" right isn't exactly popular; it's not uncommon, is accepted, and being on a moderate/right position is by far the majority of adults.

As dumb as it sounds on its face, I honestly believe that "memes got Trump elected". The popularity of Internet culture, the sheer amount of nuance you can pack into a single image meme, and the sense of tribalism that comes from following the evolution of various memes (as in "image meme formats") over time that prevents "others" from understanding why they're funny is... well, it's hugely influential.

If you see yourself as being on the left or far left, and you believe that the right is "uncool", I think you're going to be in for a rude awakening. The left-wing anti-establishment in the US has been the establishment for a long time now. Young people tend to be rebellious, and the only way to rebel against a rebellious culture is to embrace conformity.

I think your mental model could be making LLMs seem more confusing than they are. LLMs are stacks of transformers and generative LLMs typically have another model that samples the transformer output.

The European Parliament is voting on the Artificial Intelligence Act.

This Act is the first of its kind and goes beyond voluntary codes.

Companies must comply with rules requiring the public to be informed about risks associated with AI products.

Fines for breaking the rules could be up to €30m or 6% of a company’s global annual turnover.

The Act will not come into force until at least 2025.
Validity of Argument (Part 1)
Is the following valid? Let ∀A,B,C,K_1,K_2∈N. By this I mean they are all elements of the natural numbers.
1. ∃K_1 (K_1≤1)
2. ∃A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )=C^(K_2 ) )
3. ∃K_1 (K_1≤1)∧∃A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )=C^(K_2 ) )
4. ∃K_1 (K_1≤1)→∃A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )=C^(K_2 ) )
5. ∀A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )≠C^(K_2 ) )→∀K_1 (K_1>1)
Premise 1 is true because there does exist a natural number less than or equal to 1. Premise 2 is true because there does exist A,B,C, and K such that A^K+B^K=C^K. Premise 3 is true because of both Premises 1 and 2. Premise 4 is true because of Premises 1, 2, and 3. Premise 5 is true because it is the contrapositive of Premise 4. Now with regard to Premise 5, if I let K_1=K_2=2, the consequent would be true but the antecedent would be false, which makes premise 5 still true. Premise 5 is also true if I let K_1=K_2=n+2, where n is any natural number.

Things like this are often useful even if they're not optimal. Before you had a piece of code that simply would not run on your GPU. Now it runs. Even if it's slower than it should be, that's better than not running at all. Which makes more people willing to buy the GPU.

Then they go to the developers and ask why the implementation isn't optimized for this hardware lots of people have and the solution is to do an implementation in Vulkan etc.
Actually this is very key. Knowing someone who wants to be, or otherwise excels at being, the center of a huge network, is a great resource. The trust barrier is lowered during new introductions to their connections by virtue of the person introducing you, so making genuine connections is a lot easier. Otherwise it feels like that weird kind of forced interaction that usually ends with standing there in silence for a while.
> When I show a site like Lemmy to my non-technical friends, their eyes glaze over

That's quite understandable actually, the Lemmy UX sucks. Try showing them fedibb.ml instead. It's Lemmy under the hood, and federation works perfectly - but you'd never guess that!
I also had a lot of problems finding usable software for drawing UML diagrams. In the end, I used UMLet, it worked sufficiently for my tiny class diagram and was easy to use and I could rearrange everything minutely as opposed to the underperforming auto-layouting done by PlantUML. I also tried around with StarUML but somehow it didn't stick. Time has been wasted in trying to recreate the same diagram in all these tools...
By power users, I'm referring to the small minority that generated the vast majority of content on Reddit. It's true that it isn't a proven strategy, but given that the Lemmy ecosystem has gotten around 100k users in the past 2-3 days, it's not failing as bad as it could be.
I think class diagrams are a good way to visually display classes and hierarchy. If I have a package or module that has 10 classes and I want to show inheritance, properties, and methods I think it’s easier to show the class diagram then hand someone 10+ source files.

Also, class diagrams are more useful when you can’t give out source.

That being said, I think you can autogenerate class diagrams from code so it’s not like you should spend a lot of time making them.
I’ve often found myself thinking that the discoverability barrier might be an asset. It keeps the community mostly free of low-quality posters.
