OP is suggesting that this (AI model? I honestly am behind on the terminology) could replace one of the common steps of 3D printing - specifically, the step where you create a digital representation of the physical object you would want to end up with.

There are other steps to 3D printing in general, though; a super rough outline:

- Model generation

- "Slicing" - processing the 3D model into instructions that the 3D printer can handle, as well as adding any support structures or other modifications to make it printable

- Printing - the actual printing process

- Post-processing - depending on the 3D printing technology used, the desired resulting product, and the specific model/slicing settings, this can be as simple as "remove from bed and use" to "carefully snip off support structures, let cure in a UV chamber for X minutes, sand and fill, then paint"

As I said before, this AI model specifically would cover 3D model generation. If you were to use a printing technology that doesn't require support structures, and handles color directly in the printing process (I think powder bed fusion is the only real option here?), the entire process should be fairly automatable - a human might be needed to remove the part from the printer, but there might not be much post-processing to do.

The rest of your desired workflow is a bit more nebulous - I don't know how you would handle "scanning what teens are doing on instagram", at least in a way that would let you generate toys from the information; generating and posting the advertisement shouldn't be too hard - have a standardish template that you fill in with a render from the model, and the description; printing on demand again is possible, though you'll likely need a human to remove the part, check it for quality and ship it. You could automate the latter, but that would probably be more trouble than it's worth.
My younger brother worked at an independent BMW shop for a bit and they wore gloves all day. Anyone actively using airtools also had on ear muffs. Grinding, they'd wear a face shield. Yes, often ppl are dumb but they don't have to be.
Since you use to use Focalboard, do use your Mattermost (chat)?

Curious what your experience has been like using it?
that demo animation is so clever and satisfying
These are totally different versions of the concept of "literacy", though. Being able to read/write abbreviations of "eggs, scrambled", or "oatmeal" falls well below sixth-grade reading level. Literacy statistics involve much more comprehension than reading/writing food orders. Plenty of illiterate people do work in restaurants writing food orders. This is just a systemized way to remember orders, one that is used across all Waffle Houses, so that an employee from one restaurant switching to another will be just as effective, with no cross training or cultural difference.
> ...it'd have to involve a serious overhaul of the very concepts of corporations and liability in America

Don't insurance companies solve this problem? Require the nuclear corporation to have liability insurance by regulation. Then the liability is shifted to an underwriter who has much more diversified risk.
Amazing!

I find it interesting that at https://suno.ai the prompt "make a song for your workout" IMO failed. It's a nice song but it's not a song I'd think of as "for your workout".

Not as amazing because it's only providing the singing but I've been pretty impressed with the Synthesizer V demos.

A ton of people are probably asking themselves if you wouldn’t be the new guy on their team.
Well, you’re just throwing insults like a child but the fact is that what you said is completely hyperbolic and irrational. What I wrote is clear enough. The people crossing the border are not doing so because they are scared of climate, you sound ridiculous for asserting that.
None of that frightens me, but I also think that none of that is in the realm of reasonable possibility.
Reminds me of an alternate explanation of the Benadryl/diphenhydramine / dementia link: the people using diphenhydramine as a sleep aid probably have sleep problems, and their sleep problems could be the cause of earlier dementia.
For my use case it is perfectly fine but for some its a valid issue.

God... yes

> I often wonder if Americans are especially selfish.

I can only speak to America and visiting another popular Asian country. I don't think it is uniquely American. It seems more related to people struggling and thus how much they're in their own world.

I think about this a lot because it makes it a solvable thing. But maybe I'm just hopeful. I mean either way we live in a biased internal world, and if we're going to choose, I'll be optimistic in my pessimism (that things can be solve or significantly improved). At least that framework keeps me moving forward.

But also, these experiences make me think about how important it is to offer help. Even in small cases or just see if you can lighten someone's load. There's many situations where it's little to no cost to you (in time, effort, and/or money) but mean a lot to others. Even offering often can turn someone's bad day into a good one (unfortunately sometimes after you leave). So I try to remember the little things. Because it is the little things that get in the way and make our lives difficult, so it makes sense that little things can also improve them. You don't have to be wealthy or a superstar to change the world, you just have to be a friendly neighbor.

It's funny/telling that it's seemingly so self-referential - the lyrics I can understand are about "synthetic harmonies", "mechanized cadences", etc. This is kind of like how >90% of NFTs was art referencing Bitcoin or cryptocurrency memes. Is it possible to make something about actual human problems/experiences with this? I'm guessing so, but this is certainly not a good example of that.

I do wonder how much of this stuff is going to flood Spotify and co. and make payouts to actual artists even smaller.
Everything he stated was in the context of the auto industry. Pulling it out of context and then applying your own interpretation is the disingenuous action. You and the media have added your own spin to a completely out of context statement. Don't get me wrong, I think Trump us dangerous but people and media doing this and misleading about what he said works to his benefit. It erodes trust in the news.
Sam Altman sounds like a politician and BS artist in this, unfortunately.

Copyright has been revised, overhauled and redefined multiple times over the past few centuries. You couldn't have picked a worse example.

Here's an obvious question that came up (and was resolved differently in different jurisdictions) - can photographs be copyrighted? What about photographs made in public? Of a market street? Of the Eifel tower? Of street art? Can an artist forbid photography of their art? An actor of their performance? A celebrity of their likeness? A private individual of their face? Does the purpose for which the photograph will be used matter?

At what point does a photograph have sufficient creative input to be copyrightable? Is pressing a button on a camera creative input? What about a machine that presses that button? Only humans can create copyrightable works under most jurisdictions. Is arranging the scene to be photographed a creative input? Can I arrange a scene just like yours and take a photo of it? Am I violating your copyright by doing it?

There's tens of thousands of pages of law and legal precedent that answer that question. As a conversation, it went on for decades, with no simple first-version solution sticking.
Titles that include "the X that Y" are always a signal to skip for me.
I've been eating there all my life (I'm from the south). No there's nothing unique about it to be gauged from a single visit. You'll need to go multiple times to understand and appreciate 1) the consistency in both the food and the service 2) how cheap it is (or really, was) compared to other diner places 3) how they never run out of anything despite being open 24/7 4) how you never really know what's going to go down, especially late at night.
My only disappointment is I don't know of any generic/store-brand clones of Spindrift. Plenty of zero-calories seltzer clones, but none that use a little bit of real fruit juice.
Dr. Sacthin Panda[1] is a big proponent of time restricted eating, and was one of the people that has found the short term health benefits to time restricted eating. There's a famous firefighter study on the topic he led[2]. Something, I understand, that I thought also translated to long term benefits (at a minimum in animal models).

I will be curious how he reacts to this study

I'm waiting for it to turn out to be something stupid like highly lead-contaminated cutlery, furniture and other things. Or maybe some sort of pesticide or insecticide being sprayed on or around the building.
Seems silly to not, at least, split the population into those who made a choice to fast and those who couldn't eat. What an incredibly low signal to noise ratio.

What causes people to pursue studies like this? Or stop so, objectively, early in the analysis? Money runs out?
Digitally altering audio to make it sound as if a popular singer hit a lot of notes is still fine though.
A helpful framing I once got from a nutritionist: "processed" food exists on a spectrum. Could you make it at home, or at least conceive of how to make it at home? (i.e. a can of soup, a baked cracker); or would it require a lab and advanced chemistry?
This comment does not substantively contradict its parent.
FP8 being 2.5x Hopper is kind of disappointing after such a long time. Since its 2 fused chips, that means it’s 25% effective delta.

though it seems most of the progress has been on memory throughput and power use which is still very impressive.

I wonder how this will trickle down to the consumer segment.

Star Trek is fiction, not necessarily the ideal place to be finding role models.
Its a retrospective analysis that didn't even adjust for weight!
"Factors that may also play a role in health, outside of daily duration of eating and cause of death, were not included in the analysis"

"It will also be critical to see a comparison of demographics and baseline characteristics across the groups that were classified into the different time-restricted eating windows – for example, was the group with the shortest time-restricted eating window unique compared to people who followed other eating schedules, in terms of weight..."

Im worried that this seems to be done by the American Heart Association which i thought was pretty reputable. Maybe the study is being reported on out of context or something.
Don't worry, it'll spin up a git repo and an instance for you, as well.

How stable and secure all of this will be though is another question. A rhetorical one.

Hello Thank you for the feedback.
It's a customized license done for swiftship. all the terms are related to the specificity of SwiftShip.
For the first restriction, it's for people copying or creating similar product or clones using swiftship and selling it as boilerplate or template app, as for their own mobile apps developers could use it as they want.
For the copyright restriction, I agree with you there is some ambiguity I'll try to make it more clear.

My fucking god, I'm really disgusted by "journalists" who hype up everything so that they can get a few clicks. Journalism ought to be critical, objective and investigative.
Indeed. But also a little disturbing, given that no matter how many choices for the customer this signalling system facilitates, they still get equally low quality food.
Yea, it’s a really super example!

However autotune has existed for decades. Would it have been better if artists were required to label when they used autotune to correct their singing? I say yes but reasonable people can disagree!

I wonder if we are going to settle on an AI regime where it’s OK to use AI to deceptively make someone seem “better” but not to deceptively make someone seem “worse.” We are entering a wild decade.
SSE are really a subset of Comet-Stream (eternal HTTP response with Transfer-Encoding: chunked) only they use a header (Accept: text/event-stream) and wraps the chunks with "data:" and "\n\n".

But yes it's the superior (simplest, most robust, most performant and scalable) way to do real-time for eternity.

The browser is dead, but SSE will keep on doing work for native apps.

Exactly, this has come up before in other flawed studies. [1]

"Participants" are not necessarily fasting in the sense that the sensationalised headline/paper is making out.

More, good quality, studies are needed.

This is the most outrageously flawed and disingenuous study I've ever read and goes against the grain of every single other highly reputable study done in the last 20 years.
Yeah but if you order a diet coke and your friend orders a regular coke you want to make sure you get the right drink out of the carrier.
What if i use an LLM powered AI to operate VFX software to generate a realistic looking scene? ;)
no. All it'll do is empower those who are in lead esp the big techs because now a startup has to spend a significant amount of time fighting a11y stuff. There's a reason most (successful) startups are not from Europe. Too much bureaucracy for little ones to innovate.

If you become really big, you get x amount of time to implement a11y. Good enough balance.

Compiling with Constraints
With previous attempts at this problem the shaded examples could be quite misleading because details that appeared to be geometric were actually just painted over the surface as part of the texture, so when you took that texture away you just had a melted looking blob with nowhere near as much detail as you thought. I'd reserve judgement until we see some unshaded meshes.

That already happens for foods.

The solution for suppliers is to intentionally add small quantities of allergens (sesame). [1] By having that as an actual ingredient, manufacturers don't have to worry about whether or not there is cross contamination while processing.

In the US we get 20% of our power from nuclear, we have for 40 years, and most of those plants were built before we invented safety. How much risk for 100%? <5x. Probably much less, because we learn.

The wind number seems to include everything, i.e transport etc. To have a fair comparison, one would need the number of premature deaths in uranium ore mining etc. Without that, it is kind of apples to oranges.

This is depressing, we’re going to intentionally use worse tools to avoid some idiotic scare label. Basically the entire GMO or “artificial flavor” debates all over again.

If you edit this image by hand you’re good, but if you use a tool that “uses AI” to do it, you need to put the scare label on. Even if pixel-for-pixel both methods output the identical image! Just as a GMO/not GMO has no correlation to harmful compounds being in the food, and artificial flavors are generally more pure than those extracted from some wacky and more expensive means from a “natural” item.
Yes, iOS has APNS and Android has FCM. One can use FCM for both Android and iOS as FCM is capable of abstracting away APNS. If you are building on React Native with Expo, you can also use Expo Push, which abstracts away both APNS and FCM, albeit it is not fully featured.
One simple trick helped us a lot: we have a rules transpiler (fireplan) that adds a default "$other": {".read": false, ".write": false} rule to _every_ property. This makes it so that any new fields must be added explicitly, making it all but impossible to unknowingly "inherit" an existing rule for new values. (If you do need a more permissive schema in some places you can override this, of course.)

Our use of Firebase dates back 10+ years so maybe the modern rules tools also do this, I don't know.

What would really help us, though, would be:

1. Built-in support for renaming fields / restructuring data in the face of a range of client versions over which we have little control. As it is, it's really hard to make any non-backwards-compatible changes to the schema.

2. Some way to write lightweight tests for the rules that avoids bringing up a database (emulated or otherwise).

3. Better debugging information when rules fail in production. IMHO every failure should be logged along with _all_ the values accessed by the rule, otherwise it's very hard to debug transient failures caused by changing data.
> but the risk is comparable to doing your own car repairs

"Comparable" in that it's way, way greater, sure. Unless we're talking dangerous car repairs, like using a spring compressor to disassemble a strut &c. Or using harbor freight jack stands..

When my spring broke, I thought someone crashed their car into my house. It's an incredible amount of energy.

Garage door springs are up there with lathes & table saws, in terms of danger (IMO).
Pretty well, actually; Quest has outpaced this generation's Xbox.
Very dubious. Unfortunately there isn't a paper, this is being presented at a conference, so it's difficult to critique it.

There was a similar study though published back in 2022: "Meal Skipping and Shorter Meal Intervals Are Associated with Increased Risk of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality among US Adults" [0].

The problem with that study is easily found in the results section:

> As shown in Table 1, compared with participants with three meals per day, participants eating fewer than three meals per day were more likely to be younger, men, non-Hispanic Black, with less education and lower family income, current smokers, heavy alcohol drinkers, higher physical activity levels, lower total energy intake and lower diet quality, food insecure, and higher frequency of snacks.

In other words, if you do an observational study you're going to get a lot of people of poor socioeconomic status with unhealthy habits (e.g. smoking) who skip meals. That's a very different population from an average person who starts intermittent fasting as an intervention. Consequently, the results are useless for showing the causal effect of intermittent fasting.

That is a different study to the one that's linked, but they both seem to share the exact same methodological shortcomings, so I think both can be equally as readily dismissed. For that matter, they're both studies of a cohort of ~20,000 US adults, so they might actually be using the same dataset.

Pretty much. We're already generating images of monsters and characters for a D&D campaign; being able to print those in 3D would be pretty amazing.
Not necessarily, but even in the cases where that's true, there will be the occasional result that surprises (in a good way).
Privatization in Ukraine: How to buy state assets
I have been planning to work on something like this. I think that eventually, someone will crack the "binary in -> good source code out of LLM" pipeline but we are probably a few years away from that still. I say a few years because I don't think there's a huge pile of money sitting at the end of this problem, but maybe I'm wrong.

A really good "stop-gap" approach would be to build a decompilation pipeline using Ghidra in headless mode and then combine the strict syntax correctness of a decompiler with the "intuition/system 1 skills" of an LLM. My inspiration for this setup comes from two recent advancements, both shared here on HN:

1. AlphaGeometry: The Decompiler and the LLM should complement each other, covering each other's weaknesses. https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/alphageometry-an-olymp...

2. AICI: We need a better way of "hacking" on top of these models, and being able to use something like AICI as the "glue" to coordinate the generation of C source. I don't really want the weights of my LLM to be used to generate syntactically correct C source, I want the LLM to think in terms of variable names, "snippet patterns" and architectural choices while other tools (Ghidra, LLVM) worry about the rest. https://github.com/microsoft/aici

Obviously this is all hand-wavey armchair commentary from a former grad student who just thinks this stuff is cool. Huge props to these researchers for diving into this. I know the authors already mentioned incorporating Ghidra into their future work, so I know they're on the right track.
