Okay so explain the difference to a normal consumer because I'm printing toys for my kid... Both are enclosed and both do 4 colors in a variety of materials. Both are the cheapest version of that that each company offers. IMO it'

Are protections really this weak in New York? Where I live even using Photoshop for real estate advertisements is illegal, nevermind AI.

Is it? With a 3d printer you can print any piece on demand, change design without changing tooling and make pieces that are semi-hollow inside for lightness. Edit - should add, early in the war Ukraine was crowd-sourcing drone parts from c

Core One+ is $1899 CAD, the MMU3 for the Core One+ is $579 CAD and shipping was quoted over $300 since they ship from Europe and not the US to Canada. Just put these into their shopping cart on their site, right now quoting $2887 (includin

Is it? The car dealership near where I grew up had a 100 foot tall pole with a Canadian flag at least 10 feet wide, probably more. And that's a car dealership... Flags were everywhere: gyms, offices, banks, schools, etc... Can&#x27

In Canada it used to be common to have Canadian flags everywhere. It's only recently that we became a self-hating country. > similar to how dictators like to hang their portraits Insane comparison as the idea of a free country is f

Dunno, Prusa seems to have mostly forgotten about consumers as their industrial business is booming. Stuff like this: https://sensofusion.com/dronefactory/

As someone with both an Insta360 camera and a Bambu printer, I feel it, would love to buy GoPro and Prusa, but the value just isn't there. For one, I had a GoPro whose sensor broke after about 20 minutes of recorded. I ended up gettin

Sorry was thinking of Racket having keywords like Common Lisp, whereas Chez doesn't.

by dismalaf 3mo ago
IMO if we look at Lisps today the question looks more like: SBCL, Chez Scheme, Racket or Clojure. Common Lisp and Racket are Lisp-2s but honestly, the namespace thing seems like a minor difference compared to all the other features that dif

by dismalaf 3mo ago
Common Lisp wasn't standardised until 1994. Also, SBCL has some nice features specific to them, I'm sure it's the same for other implementations. So while there's a lot that's common between them all I find myself

This is cool, I was looking into Ente to supplement Google Photos (I got 6k of my kid's photos, my Google account is associated with too many things and I worry about losing access). $1M ARR seems low though.

Qualcomm, AMD and Nvidia are heavily investing in RISC-V, Intel's foundry produces RISC-V chips and the US government investment is largely because Intel has a SOTA foundry. Not just x86.

Lol they tried to sue one of their biggest customers (Qualcomm) and lost... No one wants to deal with ARM, the licensing fees are insane, etc... RISC-V is inevitable the same way Linux and open source were, because companies like Qualcomm,

As opposed to using C, Rust, or something else (Jon eventually made Jai but Casey still uses C++). Obviously they don't outright hate it.
