The big two I'd recommend are an enclosure and an activated carbon filter (preferably an activated carbon+HEPA filter).

With Ender 3's, you have the option of simple tent enclosures, they're ugly, but work well. This will help keep the enclosure warm, improving the reliability of ABS printing by both reducing warping (although this also comes down to the quality of filament) and improving bed adhesion.

The activated carbon filter will keep the fumes under control. I use a Bentobox filter, which uses both activated carbon and a HEPA filter, but Nevermore filters are also very popular.

That said, if you haven't bought it already, I'd recommend considering ASA instead of ABS. I recently tried ASA for the first time, and it is so much more of a pleasant experience compared to ABS, haven't seen any warping yet and produces far less fumes.

Oh but it gets better. Many of them are ex oracle employees. It's a huge racket that exists for itself.
This sounds more about cuttings costs than anything else.
However if I ask someone what they’re going to do about X, and they say they’re working on it, I’m going to assume they have no idea what to do about X, and are in fact not working on it.

Fair enough, but I would say that applies to an actual conversation. I don't consider a couple of back and forth Tweets to be a conversation. That's not what Twitter is for, or how it's usually used, IMO. Twitter is for short, pithy, quick little comments ... like "The team is on it".

And not to beat a dead horse, but again, I assign some particular weight to this simply because this was the CEO of the company - not some low level flunky, or even a VP where they are one of 3,362 VP's they might have.

Would a more detailed response be appreciated? Sure, 100%, absolutely. But to my way of thinking, this response is still significant.
They obviously knew what their customers used and therefore cared about and then followed the happy path.

Keep in mind this switch isn't because they see a sharp uptick in Windows users, it's because they are realizing that while Apple is a nice cushy baske, it's not so good that all of their eggs are in it.
Well of course nothing can grow forever. But Apple can still keep making profits every year and pay dividends. Why should I or anybody else care any more than that for the shareholders? Boo-hoo?
These companies are also using EBS as their ERP, which you most certainly cannot swap out the underlying database.

I don't follow. Are you saying new and more sophisticated ways to scam people are actually good because we have a unique chance to know how they work ?
I think we've lost some of the coolness of the old web from this mentality. We turned website source code from a txt to a pdf.

The "new contract" vs old sounds like internal problems where I work.

We'll have a contract signed and everything is OK for a couple years. Then someone goes ham on inventing an approval matrix and other policy/rules to keep the offshored workers from making mistakes, and we have problems. Vendors getting paid late because of policy.

Even if we provide the contract we'll get arguments that it can't be so because it says something different in their database. It's that way in their DB, because if unknown, they default to whatever is best for our company.

>Why do companies make this so difficult and hard to pay them to use their services. And why would they deny you without giving you some information about what term you are going against?

I don't know anything about Mailersend.

I know unfortunately a lot about the various tactics bad actors use to take advantage of businesses and abuses such services. Whatever it is that you're doing, no matter your intent, has clearly tripped their alarm wires and they've made a decision, probably an automated decision, not to do business with you.

They don't give information about why they've denied you because that's precisely the game that bad actors play…tweak the application until it passes whatever the test is. Abuse the service until they're kicked off, and find another one (or create another fictitious organization using what they've learned this pass and abuse the service yet again).
On my pet projects? Absolutely.

On work projects with 5 years of contributions wrote by 50+ collaborators and close deadlines? Hardly think so.
Super helpful, thank you!
How frequent are these Oracle audits?

My first thought was that you'd want to have ongoing diligence to be compliant. (Just like you don't want to have a delinquent debt with a loan shark who relishes penalties.)

But my second thought was that, if the audits are infrequent, some companies might intentionally violate the licenses. Or not want to know nor have a paper trail if there are inadvertent violations. (Both companies and individuals tend to like to kick problems down the road. Due to short-term thinking by businesses, and individuals who might be gone before chickens come home to roost.)

I'm not a fan of tailwind, but this isn't what I optimise for when building websites.

Besides, I suspect (but not know, because my experience with tailwind is very minimal) that that output is readable and understandable by those experienced and developing with tailwind. On top of all the other affordances modern dev tools gives to understand styling on elements (esp. the computed pane)
By the time the signal reaches your GPS receiver, it is below the thermal noise floor of even amazing receivers. But each GPS satellite has a unique pseudo-random code (called a PRN) that is within the signal. Receivers that listen long enough can pick out the PRN and thus the GPS signal.

I'm no GPS expert, I've read some of the theory had enough of a working understanding to deal with tactical navigation systems, but that was in my past. I remember using El-Rabbany's "Introduction to GPS" text.
You must not have been to all parts of it. There are some very grungy, crowded, run-down areas as well.

For what it’s worth I don’t think what you’re describing here is the same thing I meant by “finger guns” at all! What you’re describing looks to me like good incremental development.

With my “fingers guns mode” phrase, I really had in mind a blithe disregard for any of the real-world engineering problems and constraints that we knew we would hit (because they just inhered in what we knew the solution needed to do). You don’t have to solve those right up front, but you do need to (a) acknowledge that they exist and (b) have some notion of what your approach to them will be.

I’m extremely in favor of taking a small team of veterans (who are open to doing something novel!) on a new system, as you say—let them leverage all their expertise, while being careful to avoid Second System Syndrome, to build something by using all of the knowledge about those pitfalls/problems/etc. to avoid them. (The risk there is that you can end up overfitting on previous experience! That’s real!)
Are you sure about this? I hear the rates vary by platform. For example Tidal was pushing for much higher royalties as part of its push to get more artists to sign with it.

Apple Music subscription can even be purchased in the System Settings of Apple's OSs (through Apple One); it doesn't pay 30% to Apple when subscribed in the OS or through the Music app; it's distributed embedded into iOS, macOS, iPadOS without you downloading the app.

It's anti-competitive, clearly, which harms consumers.

I really want to understand, what's the actual argument for Apple here?
This isn't reducing the power of any company. The money and fees will be shifted around. This accomplishes nothing other than encouraging people to rack up more debt.
Fairer App Store policies allows more streaming choice for consumers, including potentially opting for "fair trade"-style offerings that give more to artists.

Right now, both Apple AND Spotify have an anti-competitive advantage due to the app store (with Apple Music getting a massive advantage, and Spotify getting a better deal than new competition entering the market).

Although a lot of streaming payment rates are set upstream of streaming services.
Right now I have the feeling when using tailwind the html code becomes unreadable cluttered with classes. So abstraction of components is king? Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Aren't those the same thing? An opinion piece about a set of facts is still an opinion. Snopes largely covers political topics. Combined, that's definition propaganda.

It sounds like efficiency.
Just reposting another comment here which has a link to their original, mission statement:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39611908

That mission statement contradicts what I’m reading here. It also contradicts what Anthropic is doing. HuggingFace, TogetherAI, and Mosaic are all executing on the original vision which OpenAI has abandoned. Perhaps the board and regulators should ask those companies’ leaders how to best balance open AI’s vs business and risk management.

Also, don’t forget it’s not proprietary/closed vs free/open. There are models in between with shared source, remixing, etc. They might require non-commercial use for the models and their derivatives. Alternatively, license the models with royalties on their use like RTIS vendors do. They can build some safety restrictions into those agreements if they want. Like for software licensing, we don’t have to totally abandon revenue to share or remix the code.

That all assumes that potential greatness at driving is evenly distributed across the entire human population, which probably isn't the case. Also, why do you care about how "accessible" a sport is - is it not enough for the action to thrill and the emergent stories to give meaningful context to that action?
> - Convince the streaming companies to build one more flavor of their apps (in addition to Android/FTV, AppleTV, Roku, and a bunch of SmartTV platforms)

Amazon already has to convince them to support Fire apps today. The userspace fork (no Google Play APIs at all) has already diverged enough that software developers think of it as a very different platform no matter how many Android dev tools they share. I certainly see that reflected in lots of streaming company's release notes.

How much is Amazon actually benefiting from a shared Android kernel when userspace is so vastly different today?

Given they already have a diverged userspace and fewer tethers to Google doesn't that make more sense for Amazon to experiment with something like Tizen than Samsung does? Amazon has way more ability to lift and shift their unique user experience without disrupting their users for first party apps, and with how limited the Amazon App Store has become, probably fewer complaints about third-party apps, too.

(Tizen is just an example, of course, but can't help but think that an Amazon-Samsung partnership on Tizen even sounds like a fascinating political game versus Google at this point. Seems unlikely to happen, Amazon doesn't seem to want partnerships like that, but an interesting idea in theory.)
Strongly disagree. This platform for tech news should not become a place for political posts, nor even for posting regular news headlines. Yes we know that reddit sucks but stop trying to make hn into reddit.

Also the community can't handle it, just look at the handful of comments we already have here.
Will have a look. Thank you.
A few issues here:

1. When you're working with this code, it's far easier to read with proper formatting and syntax highlighting. I know people take issue with the verbosity of tailwind, but anything will look awful if you remove formatting.

2. This is lacking an equivalent non-tailwind approach. If you can share the equivalent vanilla HTML/CSS (or pick your preferred framework), and then paste it here as an unformatted text blob, this might be a bit more fair.

3. I don't think it's fair to describe this as just a "box with rounded corners and a top and bottom section". That can be done with tailwind with less complexity/syntax, if that's truly all you want.
Surely, a satellite in orbit could easily jam Starlink boxes on the ground.

If you want my personal opinion, I think the hype around RAG techniques is mostly a fad. I don't see how it becomes a super broad high value technique that your average DS or ML Engineer is getting paid big bucks to know. It's also in danger of becoming totally obsolete with further LLM advances (Claude 3 already really good at needle in the haystack tasks). Not something worth spending a ton of time on unless you're basically already knee deep in that kind of problem space. I think the only reason it's trendy right now is because LLMs are hammers looking for nails and semantic Q&A is one of the few identified nails.

I'm pursuing of a strategy of:

* Doubling down on domain knowledge. Even if coding becomes completely automated, there will always be value in knowing some particular corner of an industry very well. For me, that's insurance. This includes knowing how classical ML techniques can be applied in my industry (LLMs are not replacing xgboost any time soon).

* Keeping tabs on bleeding edge LLM capabilities, just to have a sense of what's possible. However, staying out of highly technical LLM implementation details like CUDA, inference, batching, etc. Perhaps fine tuning will be valuable but probably I would focus on understanding "fine tuning as a service" offerings rather than rolling my own.

* Investing in knowledge of infrastructure/orchestration of LLM services in a way that doesn't tie me to any particular problem space. It's hard to predict right now what kinds of new products LLMs might enable. But I think there will be value in being able to translate business problems into a high level architecture for an LLM-enabled app, even if that just means wiring together existing service offerings.

And if publishers and/or labels were able to obtain better rates - via direct negotiations, the CRB, or otherwise - presumably some of those fractional cents per stream would trickle down to the artists and songwriters who are already in notoriously oppressive contracts with the major label and publisher oligopoly.

Even setting aside the dubious morality of Apple's rules on iOS, I feel like I'm going insane watching Apple be maximally aggressive. The EU loves regulating! There's nothing they love more! It seems supremely unwise to give them additional excuses to do something they clearly want to do anyways.
It's a very simple language. I've worked on half a dozen projects where I helped an experienced dev new to Elixir ramp up to 80%-90% productivity within a few days.

Learning Phoenix (and a few other libraries like Ecto and now LiveView) is what would eat up your time.

Phoenix used to be very easy for Rails/Django/Laravel devs to pick up a few years ago, but now that LiveView is thoroughly built-in and Phoenix.View has been replaced by Phoenix.Component, it's much less familiar to those learners.
While I agree there needs to be incentives to be credit-worthy, isn't that what the credit report is for? I think you'd probably argue the fees are better than it hitting their credit report, but I'm not sure those people would agree. Those late fees are then unable to be paid as well, causing further damage to the credit report than the actual debt. They get punished twice for it.

I have a friend who's in that situation. Medical bills for his entire family have basically crushed him. Without the late fees, he'd be just scraping by with bad credit. With the late fees, he's still got bad credit. But now he's got late fees, too.
Right but the point is he never said such things sincerely, only ever in service to some goal.

He absolutely could not stand to share anything. But he could say anything necessary to attain goals.
Building a Voron is on my list of things to absolutely do this year. I got into 3d printing at the start of last year with an Ender 3 clone, and by the end of the year I had ended up building a Mercury One.1 printer and recently an ERCF. It's a ton of experimentation and calibration to do, but it's so satisfying to build this kind of machine, being someone who has always enjoyed making stuff, but has mostly focused on making software.

When you build websites you are creating code for others to read as much as you're creating an "app" or document.

It's the very essence of what's good and special about the web. If the companies that are trying to do away with this succeed, we will have lost something important.

The web is and should remain de facto open source.

Oracle's got a lot of nasty things going for it, for sure. But there's a reason people still use it: part of it is vendor lock-in, of course; the other is that the database is actually really nice.

There's a small-time racetrack near us (I think, theoretically, it is somehow tied to NASCAR, but no idea) and the drivers are small-town locals, usually funded by a few sponsorships that are clearly not "cost effective" in that there's no way they're getting that much in value back but they do it because it's a son of a friend.

This is a reasonable take, and I mostly share it. None of us were especially happy about that plan! However, and I alluded to this on the episode, it wasn’t actually a five year plan to get to a very specific endpoint. It was, instead a 3–5-year plan to make steady incremental changes to our entire system in ways that meant that if we realized our end destination needed to change (e.g. from React to Svelte or something not even built yet) 2 years along, that was totally fine.
Yet, it is what we experience. One GC program on a machine may perform well. Two are a problem.

Anybody that's taken a proctored online exam in high schools knows that this is absolutely not about efficiency. With universities rolling back test-optional pandemic policies, the College Board is likely to raise the price of exams and drive down the cost of administering them by gutting support. I'd predict more frequent exam dates once people have absorbed the price increase. Driving that velocity requires online administration.

Yes, the rates vary by platform. In the US, there's a combo of statutory (or CRB-approved) rates on the publisher side, and negotiations on the label side.

On the publisher/songwriter side, streams are not "public performances" under the Copyright Act (in the US), so royalties are not handled by the court-sanctioned monopolies that have been in place since the early 20th century (ASCAP, BMI).
If you have to use grep to find a CSS class, you're doing it very wrong. Not having any discipline or organizational skills leads to needing grep to find CSS, it is not something inherent to CSS itself.

In my front end, for example, I have registration-page.jsx and registration-page.less, and there is really zero mystery where the styles are for the registration-page. It uses components like password-input.jsx, and guess what? the CSS for that is in password-input.less. There's no grepping, there's no difficulty finding the classes that are specified. Everything is very orderly and easy to find.
