The control board is listed for me at price €262,80 EUR (with tax included).
The control board version with the 6 additional 10€ stepper driver (with the link they provide in their BOM, is listed at €456,00 EUR, (at this price I can plug stepper driver all day long).

Rant mode activated : Those prices are just excessive. Before 2020 we could buy some 5-axis 8-bits RAMPS 1.4 board with stepper for less than 50€. Then there was some transition to use some more powerful 32-bits microcontroller (which are cheaper on the BOM), but no standard has emerged, 32-bits chips were impacted by the shortage, so everyone and their dog are creating their own 3d printer control boards, and selling them for more than €100, and they are less customizable, harder to upload. (The best replacement for RAMPS 1.4, is probably BTT SKR V1.4, which sells for €43 with silent drivers) (but you are on your own for the non-standard software and development environment).

Those control boards are just connector boards, they are mainly used to replace some wires, it's just to connect the microcontroller to the stepper driver. You can have your own pcb connector board made for less than €10 for 10. You just have to solder the header yourself.
Most of this applies equally well to humans.
Excellent project! Thanks for sharing it here!

I'd just like to share my joy in using the Emacs shell (Eshell), which I find to be a wonderful fusion of the Unix shell and a Lisp REPL. You can enter commands with or without parentheses. For example:

~ $ concat "foo" "bar"
foobar
~ $ (concat "foo" "bar")
foobar

Or

~ $ * 123 456
56088
~ $ (* 123 456)
56088

Eshell comes with several built-in commands implemented as Elisp functions. For example:

~ $ which cd echo ls which
eshell/cd is a byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘em-dirs.el’.
eshell/echo is a byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘em-basic.el’.
eshell/ls is a byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘em-ls.el’.
eshell/which is a byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘esh-cmd.el’.
~ $ ls -l /etc/h*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 446 2025-02-15 20:43 /etc/hosts
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 2024-10-01 2024 /etc/ hosts.equiv
~ $ (eshell/ls "-l" (eshell-extended-glob "/etc/h*"))
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 446 2025-02-15 20:43 /etc/hosts
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 2024-10-01 2024 /etc/hosts.equiv

Of course, you can still run external commands like usual:

~ $ which curl jq python3 rustc
/usr/bin/curl
/opt/homebrew/bin/jq
/opt/homebrew/bin/python3
/Users/susam/.cargo/bin/rustc
~ $ python3 -c "print('hello')"
hello
~ $ curl -sS https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/43061183.json | jq -r .title
Schemesh: Fusion between Unix shell and Lisp REPL

Since TRAMP is an integral part of Emacs, you can switch between the local shell and remote shells transparently with simple 'cd' commands. For example:

~ $ echo local > /tmp/foo.txt
~ $ echo remote > /ssh:susam@susam.net:/tmp/foo.txt
~ $ cd /tmp/
/tmp $ cat foo.txt
local
/tmp $ hostname
mac.local
~ $ cd /ssh:susam@susam.net:/tmp/
/ssh:susam@susam.net:/tmp $ hostname
susam.net
/ssh:susam@susam.net:/tmp $ cat foo.txt
remote

In the second command, I redirected a file to a remote file system with the usual '>' redirection operator.

Notice how, in the sixth command, I switched from my local shell to a remote shell with a simple 'cd' command. With Eshell and TRAMP, working across multiple remote systems becomes transparent, seamless, and effortless! Best of all, I still have the full power of Emacs at my fingertips, making Eshell an incredibly smooth and powerful experience!

Pursuit of a giant energy infrastructure replacement requires tremendous material extraction—directly driving many of these ills—only to then provide the energetic means to keep doing all these same things that abundant evidence warns is a prescription for termination of the community of life.

Yep. Government-imposed price controls and caps should actually be illegal. Like actually unconstitutional, with the requisite constitutional amendments in California (and the other States) and the US Constitution being passed.

No matter what anybody’s intentions are, they always end up creating market distortions that eventually lead to more societal issues than the ones they’re suppose to alleviate and it’s just bad economics that shouldn’t even be a tool in politicians’ (or voters, but ballot box lawmaking should be illegal too) toolboxes so they’re forced to address the upstream concerns that cause prices on land, housing, rents, services and goods to climb to the point of being unaffordable to most of the population.

One of the common poultry vaccines in the US is for Marek’s disease, which has arguably been a disaster.

Over time, the disease has evolved to be more virulent so that it can spread in vaccinated flocks.

As a side effect, its mortality rate in unvaccinated flocks has been increasing, and some strains of it are approaching 100%. Normally, such a contagion would burn itself out instead of spreading.

The mortality rate in vaccinated flocks is non-trivial and also increasing. I think it’s still lower than the unvaccinated mortality rate before the vaccine was introduced, but I’m not sure.

(I am by no means an anti-vaxxer; the currently available human vaccines are effective and safe, as is the Marek’s vaccine. Marek disease’s is a worst case scenario outlier, and enabled by the conditions in modern poultry farms, which are atrocious.)

It does not sacrifice sub-shell syntax: it is fully supported,
I just had to rename it from ( ... ) to [ ... ] to avoid conflicts with ( ... ) that switches to lisp syntax

Also, both $(...) and `...` shell interpolation are fully supported.

The only thing I intentionally sacrificed is shell flow control: schemesh shell syntax does not have the builtins 'case' 'for' 'if' 'while' etc.

In practically all examples I tried, escaping to Scheme for loops and conditional code works better: it avoids the usual pitfalls related to shell string splitting, and usually results in more readable code too, at least for a Lisper

Note: there's also some additional parsing logic to distinguish between sub-shell syntax [ ... ] and wildcard patterns that use [ ... ] as well

They are sensible regulations, but single market consisting of multiple countries with own fiscal and taxation policies is always somewhat complex thing.

Still, my understanding is that if you know the country and classify product like you know the rate. So it is less complex than sales taxes which might be local in other places.

It's saying the same thing:

> GAO found that, as income increased, IRS recommended more taxes per audit, on average, but generally closed fewer audits.

They close fewer audits because the audits require more resources (and partially because there are fewer of those taxpayers). Meanwhile the other effect also shows up clearly in their numbers: Average additional tax for the $500k-1M group (midpoint $750k) was ~$20k or 2.67%, for $1M-5M (midpoint 3M) was ~$40k or 1.33%, for $5M-10M (midpoint 7.5M) was ~$86k or 1.15%. Percentage for the top group is unknown because that bracket is open-ended, but $360k for the group that contains billionaires is likely to continue the trend.

They get less as a percentage from the people with better tax lawyers. It's more in absolute dollars because by definition they have more money, but since it also costs more to audit them it's not necessarily worth it.

Notice also that these are heuristics and the actual numbers change with the number of audits. There are going to be some people who are obviously cheating on their taxes, e.g. someone else filed a 1099 or W-2 for paying them and then they filed a return that didn't include the income. The IRS is going to put them at the front of the list to be audited and then that audit is going to show a positive recovery for the IRS.

The more audits you do, the lower the recovery rate gets, because you started with the ones with huge obvious problems and doing more audits means auditing people who are more likely to be innocent.

This is also why the "bang for the buck" calculation is pretty meaningless. Suppose there is one person you can audit for $2000 and then recover a million dollars (+$998,000), and then an unlimited number of people you could audit for $1000 and recover an average of $800 (-$200). If you do one audit of the one who is obviously cheating, you've recovered 500 times more than you put in! Clearly you should keep going. If you audit 100 people, you've spent $101,000 and recovered $1.08M, that's still almost ten times more than you spent! Clearly you should keep going? Except that only one of them was net positive and the additional audits have actually reduced your net gain from $998k to $978k while auditing a significant number of innocent people.

What matters is the incremental returns from additional audits, not the average returns from existing audits. And taking into account as a cost the burden of auditing innocent people.
from the original document: "critical code is written in C." The document is not dated, but it's probably quite old (I'm guessing 30-something years). Writing critical code in C is probably a mistake, but once you find yourself in that situation, you will find these rules are too tight (which is also what the criticism is about). You should probably read them as "try to avoid ...".

So I would just prepend the document with "Rule 0: Try to avoid writing critical code in C."

> What's wrong with helping the markets react calmly and accurately to these events? Is a surgeon evil for treating a tumor, or a farmer for addressing your hunger?

Great Strawman. A surgeon is more morally good than a trader or hedge fund waiting to short companies to profit from their demise, or it's cousin the private equity industry buying up shares to take over companies and laying people off to make a profit.

You seem to have already forgotten it was these people that caused the 2008 crash with scandals (Look up the LIBOR scandal to remind you) not surgeons or farmers.

> Crypto is subject to much debate, but gambling does nothing to help with efficient markets, liquidity, or capital formation. It's strictly worse than trading actual assets.

A doctor or farmer as you describe have far more morals than these people, as traders and the finance industry make obscene amounts of money while doing this from their desks doing virtually nothing and contributing nothing to the industries and especially society.

This post is a good piece of evidence that the value of LLMs is driven far more by the circumstances surrounding them than by positive value they bring.

All I see is a society in which people are stretched insanely thin (even the software engineers work on monetized side projects, for god's sake), where basic needs like proper education and time to focus are degrading or too expensive, where information gathering has been totally co-opted by advertisers and grifter—LLMs are a suboptimal solution to what are inherently structural social problems that arise from a distribution of wealth and organization of labor. LLMs do not address this. Give it five more years and they'll be totally integrated into advertising and extracting capital from users too, and they'll be just as useless as search has become today.
