used it yesterday to learn how to calculate the linear regression constants all the way from multivariable calc down to converting it into the standard statistical form. it hallucinated a few times but i knew enough to ignore that and learn some techniques. all up a fun exercise that i surely would have been stuck on if not for the few insights.
All software requires maintenance, and there are continually ongoing software-driven print speed and quality improvements. That said, I could keep using the firmware and slicer software I have now until the hardware becomes unmaintainable (probably have to run it in a VM at some point), assuming no critical safety bugs.

It's pretty good, but there are some longtime flaws that blow my mind, such as the order of results when sorting by price. It never makes sense to me.
All this is unavoidable. But it's also temporary. This phase of search won't last since we're going to replace it with just SKU + inventory plus some fulltext search plus an LLM. An LLM browser assistant could probably solve this problem quite well.

Inventory will never be well-tagged. The process change to ensure it would slow down procurement.

Ideally, they'd expose an inventory XML list and we'd just use our LLM on it.

The hard part is how to incentivize by permitting them control over advertising. An alternative is the browser LLM just searching across the page (Arc Browser can do this).
Start typing something like age:8 and you'll get a relevant category suggestion.
Also, it's important to remember that cognitive function declines late in age regardless, the best thing to do is (1) keep being mentally active to slow that decline (2) build up cognitive ability as high so that you have longer to go before being severely impacted.
I've never worked at a place where part numbers mattered, but I am very familiar with this mindset of non-technical people that basically boils down to "just put whatever you want in whatever text field then act befuddled when the system doesn't work perfectly."

I'm a bit further on with my Trident than you are[0], and with around 350 print hours I'm starting to get into the modding swamp. There's just so many good/cool things to add!

I also disqualified the Mk4 on other factors. The Mk4 not having an enclosure and the Tridet having such a small footprint was another major factor for me. (I know there's an enclosure for the Mk4, but it's very large and expensive.)

Building the printer has been super fun too.

For an opensource alternative to Obsidian checkout Logseq (1). I spent a while thinking obsidian was opensource out of my own ignorance and was disappointed when I learned it was not. I mistook the extensive github presence for the actual product being open.

I haven't used it in a while now, but I had found it productive for a few things:

* writing blog posts and outline for blog posts

* writing SEO descriptions

Generally though, its output was just a starting point, and I'd have to make a lot of edits of my own to actually include something of a writer's voice, remove any errors, etc.

I also found it fun to use ChatGPT to generate descriptive 'image alt text' for scenes and then plug that text into ComfyUI and A1111 to generate images. There were some cases where I was generating patterns and would use it to give me long lists of ideas for things, like I'll ask it "give me 20 ideas for christmas-themed patterns" and it spits out a bunch of stuff like "merry reindeer." Some of it isn't exactly usable, but it's also easier to have ChatGPT generate 100+ ideas than to do that yourself, which becomes pretty tedious past ten (for me).

I'm looking into using it for language learning, although I trust it less than something like Duolingo, which I already don't trust. I'm wondering how I can 'chat' with it in a different language and make sure that it correctly corrects my grammar and is also using proper grammar itself. Not sure how useful that could be, but if anyone else has had success with this, I'm interested in hearing how.
Probably would cost them more than waiting them out in court, or would encourage or make it easier for other patent holders, however legitimate, to go after them.

This seems to be one of (the only?) notable change in 1.5.0, especially for legacy plugin devs. Also tags can’t end in a ‘/‘ now.
> You're making the same mistake if you think that's "incorrect information"

No, that would be a different type of mistake.

> you'd only take some effort to learn instead of complaining because they don't fit your incorrect assumptions

I know exactly why it reports it like this. That wasn't the point of the article, and not the point of my reply.

> You're saying to just not show any size at all if the filesystem contains more data than its capacity, which is basically going to be 100% of the time after enough backups are made? WTF. That makes even less sense.

No, not 100% of the time. But it would be a significant portion of time, yes. The Finder should probably not even try to report the information like this if it's going to be misleading such a high percentage of the time, if Apple is not going to add a better way for users to account for where all of the space on their drives is going.

> I'm not one to trust AI much at all, but I bet even an LLM these days would know and tell you why the total size of all the files on a filesystem can appear to exceed the capacity of the storage device.

I tried to find a way to interpret this other than, "you should just use ChatGPT as a person to talk to, because ChatGPT is smarter than you and could explain to you how filesystems work," but I wasn't able to.

I'm fine with that. I did eventually 'unplug' that game os to the point that it would run standalone on bare metal by adding a couple of hardware drivers.

The point was: to make a game function you have to perform the bulk of the functions that an operating system performs and the similarities are greater than the differences.

This has some context on Google’s exit from China. They refused to censor the search engine to China’s liking.

Just because they don't have the rights to stream The Office doesn't mean they don't know what shows and movies they have are enjoyed by people who also enjoy The Office. This is literally the entire point of search - show what you're searching for if it exists, and show related things after it.
I question the value of commit messages at all. Sure, at some level you need a summary of what a change is trying to do, but we have that at 5 levels now and they are completely redundant. Generally there is a ticket in some system for tracking changes, whether it's Jira or Github itself or some other system. Then you have a PR/MR that is attached to a branch which you are trying to have merged. Then there are the commit messages themselves. These are all completely redundant to each other, and nobody in their right mind should want all of these at the same time. It's too many places to look for the same exact information, there's no reason to maintain it in more than one place.

Some truly awful standard for formatting commit messages, how to do something that has at best dubious value to begin with, is a fantastic way to give the appearance of work without the need for skill or ability or spending time trying to get useful work done, a true boon to incompetents and hangers on. It's also a great way to snipe someone's amazing work and put yourself in a position to critique them with 1/1000th of the effort of accomplishing something useful.
Agreed. I thought they had some good points up until this and immediately thought “I would RUN from a company that did this.”

Also do people REALLY pay for models, let alone $10? I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve paid for a model to 3d print. Much easier to find an existing one, hack one, or just make my own.
I ask it to write regexes, and I've had it write code that follows known algorithms.

In general, I tend to ask Chat GPT questions when: 1: I don't know what to search for, and 2: When I need it to aggregate and interpret context.

I personally am not using Chat GPT daily. I find that I still prefer searching, because often I'm either trying to find a specific website; or the human discussion provides a lot more insight than ChatGPT can give me.
get him into a VA facility or similar where they are equipped to manage his health needs

If that's the goal, then the best course of action is to get the paperwork started.

That has to be done by the patient themselves or someone with durable power of attorney to act on their behalf in healthcare matters. Nobody can do that for them. Nobody can force them to go into a home without a long legal process to curtail the patient's rights.

While the Veteran's Administration has a array of services that may be available, eligibility criteria vary widely depending on when and where a person served and whether or not they have a service connected disability. It is a vast bureaucracy...For what it is worth, "Veterans Homes" are not part of the VA. They are typically run at the state level, like all facilities their are waiting lists whose length depends on desirability.

None of the big issues are going to be solved by an app and no app will clean up feces. The myriad practical issues require meat space assistance. Money often works here...e.g. hired assistance and outsourcing. But again, this requires consent of your friend's dad.

Most people are not able to offer sustained help to a non-family member over a long period for reasonable emotional, physical, and financial reasons. And we know that healthcare is a job often only done well by professionals.

Good luck.
I wonder why people search for reasons other than some people find poly relationships more suited to them, end of story.

I’m married, I’m not looking for a poly arrangement - but I can totally understand the idea that a mono relationship just isn’t what someone wants. I think it’s possible to love more than one person, romantically, or that a successful relationship doesn’t have to mean until one person dies.

A big reason why is Search today is an AI Librarian. That AI may be more or less smart, but at the end of the result that's what people mean when they say Search. They certainly do not mean a robust query language that will allow them to iteratively refine down a subset of matching documents in a corpus until the desired document is found.
For what it’s worth, dual stack with IPv6 + DNS64/NAT64 would be a great solution here, as well. SLAAC and a /64 would make it pretty unlikely for this kind of failure mode to occur.
May I ask you to elaborate on how ChatGPT is involved with Stable Diffusion for your use case?
Or "for humans", hopefully that trend has died down though.
To some extent, this is consistent with Google's mobile Maps version when searching for anything. It returns "Relevance" by default, not by "Distance".

I also noticed the same in several other website where "relevance" trumps my sort request (e.g., price, distance).
Yes, and I still stand by my "terrifying and absolutely nuts" opinion.

Also, there is a huge difference of category here - the things you listed are interchangeable commodities. You can always use some other storage mechanism instead of a misbehaving SSD. Software like Oracle or Db2 aren't, once you're locked into them, you can't leave.
> I'm not even a Mac user, yet I easily knew what was going on at first glance.

The vast majority of computer users wouldn't. 60 TB might be technically correct but it isn't useful. I don't want my computer to tell me "this data you're deleting adds up to 60 TB when you count it an unspecified multiple number of times". I want it to tell me (at least roughly) how much space on disk will be freed once it's deleted. If it can't do that, I agree with the author: I'd prefer an unlabeled progress bar, or perhaps 0-100%.
There was another article with this quote[0]:

> “If they don’t want to use our chip, I’ll work with them to make their product good,” Mr. Kiani said. “Once it’s good enough, I’m happy to give them a license.”

It sounds like they didn't just want some money. They wanted them to use their chip or partner with them.

I am no Apple fan, but telling them to politely fuck off seems reasonable to me.

A few use cases...

-I use it to clean up emails for work (paste in email, ask it to formalize it or make it more clear)

-My wife used it yesterday to create a rhyming scavenger hunt for the kids

-create Chrome extensions (tip, make sure it uses manifest version 3)

-I use it to create themed Teams video backgrounds

-Used it to create survey questions for Work From Home feedback for my staff.

Lots of other random uses as well. I've been a paying member since the start and it still blows my mind everytime I use it.
Show HN: Whataaabout.com – unique activity ideas for the holiday break
Hi HN, I’ve been working on whataaabout.com with a friend, while learning to code. It's a fun little website for those short on time but seeking new experiences.
It started from a question, "when was the last time you did an experience you had never done before?". As human beings we need some degree of novelty, to expose ourselves to the unfamiliar and keep learning throughout our lives. So to add a spark to my daily routine and keep novelty coming my way, I started collecting ideas of interesting and unusual activities I’d like to try out sooner or later.
The main selection criteria is things that take a short amount of time and are not too demanding, nor location-specific. I organized them based on categories like uniqueness, humans involved, location, price, time required, and others.

I hope you like it, and I’d be happy to hear your thoughts, as well as any cool activity ideas you might have. Cheers!

Sometimes the truth hurts, get over it.

Ignorance doesn’t mean stupidity it means you don’t understand something. It’s possible to gain understanding when you accept you’re wrong and try and learn, but lashing out means you will forever wallow in ignorance.

> generally means

“can never occur” this this is why you don’t understand. You need to actually read what was written not whatever nonsense comes into your head.

You only need to debug code that’s not correct. Therefore logically when talking about the effort to write code vs debug that code they don’t mean the effort to write correct code vs debut correct code. Instead it’s the effort to create incorrect code vs debut that incorrect code. Any other interpretation is nonsense.

This is a classic localisation issue.

When I was younger and worked mostly for Danish companies, we always knew that that a system _could_ be utilised in another locale. as such we always tracked currencies, timezone, etc.

Starting to work for American companies all that is out the window. An int with the var name "amount" – of cause that is USD!
I found it has replaced a large percentage of google searches for me - particularly programming related.

Ever since using computers and waiting for PC/Windows to boot up, I've dreaded software coming to general utility hardware.

> like, i think if that were possible then we wouldn't need new linker relocation types for risc-v? how are you going to patch an auipc or st instruction to have the right stack offsets and memory addresses without knowing about the weird platform-specific details like how you have to increment the auipc immediate field to compensate for the sign-extension of the associated addi or jump field in the case where its high bit is set?

That knowledge is encoded into the relocation type (e.g. R_X86_64_64) for given ABI. So the system does know about relocations, and some relocation types will be specific to a single architecture (R_RISCV_CALL_PLT in this example, I think?). But that's all you need to know about those architectures.
The end result of doing this is good, but I find it really difficult to cleanly do this before I have something that's 100% complete.

I don't code linearly like "first I need feature A, then I code feature B which is needed for feature C, and so on"

It's usually a bit all over the place and it's not clear what depends on what until I start reaching the end.

So to do this properly I'd need to spend a day or two rewriting or making a new branch that cleanly adds everything in order. Hopefully in a way that doesn't leave master in a broken state when reverting tail commits.

In addition, when doing multiple pull requests for a single high level feature, you might get some comments about pull request "C" that would require changes in pull request "A"

Is Prusa floundering? The article doesn't mention their financials or anything.
Amazon is beyond frustrating. The amount of totally unrelated results to a search is so frustrating. And I mean totally unrelated.
The gantry is on a cantilevered open frame.

This is something that the hobbyist world recognized as a really bad idea a long time ago because it makes the machine fundamentally less rigid than a well-supported closed frame would be.

Lack of rigidity results in higher vibration which results in lower quality parts and limits the speed that you can run the machine at. Prusa has tried hard to frame this as them prioritizing quality over speed but that's absolute marketing bullshit -- the things that allow a printer to run fast are largely the same things that allow it to produce high quality parts. A fast printer simply has a higher ceiling and while a fast printer can run slower if you need it to, a slow printer will always be slow.

Jo's said explicitly in interviews that the choice to use that frame design is because he wanted to prioritize easily being able to see and remove completed parts from the print bed.
The icing on the cake is when he says that Chinese competitors implemented all this web-based stuff. So the big idea for Prusa to compete was to provide services that Chinese competitors can and did provide.

I think if you're going to take to the internet to stick to boot into a company you need to do better than this embarrassing drivel.
