Money. And maybe internet points. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't have any pride in their work.

Overpopulation isn't really the issue. Who pollutes the most? It's not poor country, but rich countries like the US. The issue is really about our ecology and the effect of pollution have on our life support system. We can even ch

What would a military response look like? I am not an expert in this area, but it seems to me if it got really bad, the US might send commandos to coordinate air strikes.

Given that it is relevant to their research, they should consider learning how to code. Otherwise you'll be at the mercy of whatever autogenerated code that you happen to be using, since you literally don't have the skill to check

For a rocket that has yet to launch against a rocket that's already mature and yet continued to improves its launch cadence by launching 96 times this year and aspires to launch 144 next years. That means SpaceX can literally compete o

It sounds like that researchers should just learn to properly code.

I heard a lot of different opinion about AlphaFolding, how it's not revolutionary or not revolutionary, or something like that.

There are billion of people in China. If you grant only 0.1% of 1.4118 billion can speak and read English, that's 1,411,800 individuals. However, if we take Wikipedia's claim at face value, it's actually ten million.[1] 1. h

Piracy is different from plagiarism. People are understandably angsty about someone stealing credit. A NYT article is going to be a NYT article, not laundered around and presented as someone else's work. Plus, there's the angle of

It sounds like we should just make all these AI open source and freely available to prevent any single individuals or corporations from monopolizing the profit off of it.

Thanks for pointing it out. I clicked on his profile but somehow missed the details of the project he's making a living off.

I am generally not sure about forcing corporations to pay developers, but I am all for demonopolizing corporations have over their ability to make a profit off FOSS, if that makes sense.

I am always looking for example of successful commercial FOSS projects that doesn't compromise the spirit and intent of Free Software. I am curious as to what you're selling, and why wouldn't anybody just download a free copi

Remember that I am just a sample of one. Experience will differ. It's hard to say what's the norm without more data.

They will be doing fine until suddenly they're not doing fine. There's a delayed effect that you see from your business decisions because it might take years to play out. It's best to get ahead of problems before they become

Nope. All my issue with X1C is the AMS stuff. I will be replacing it eventually once there's a viable open source product or make enough money to fund open hardware projects.

by kiba 3y ago
My experience did not match your. My X1C combo hadn't really work out of the box. I was able to get maybe 2 prints so far. That said, I am just an sample of one and the only reason why I bought it because my business need seems more pr

You need to be profitable to remain alive as a company. I agree with you we shouldn't race to the bottom, but if there's room for Prusa to compete without compromising value, they should do that.
769.
by kiba 3y ago
I would be more concerned about Prusa dying as a business than making billions in profit.

Yeah. I read that blogpost. I don't think the hardware license protects him from Chinese cloners, scrupulous or unscrupulous. They're just very good at cloning and I don't think he has the funding or the legal resource to sue

Are you talking about the xBuddy board? I haven't been able to find the repository on their github page. I took a look and found Adafruit reporting on it. If they're worried about cloning, I don't see how making it proprietar

MK4 firmware is mostly free AFAIK, except for graphics and design.

I used both Prusaslicer and Cura. They worked. Prusaslicer comes in with built in profile for my specific Prusa machine. The generic profiles work well enough for my purposes.

by kiba 3y ago
The former is more meaningful still when you consider how it can integrate with other parts of the value-add, such as Creality's model database, which can take you from the model's detail page to the slicer in just a click or two
775.
by kiba 3y ago
Yeah. I checked to see if MK4 firmware is open source. It is indeed, aside from designs and graphics being CC-NC-SA, which seems to be an attempt to protect their trademarks? Now, the complaint about development is not being open is a weakn

AGPL cloud service would circumvent this issue rather than relying purely on strong leadership and company DNA.

My perspective is that Bambulab can be a shady company and I have seen behaviors that's concerning such as using bots and uploading designers' prints without permission as well as patents. Prusa is a standard bearer of the open so

They all look like boring teardrop cars to me, but I don't assume that's outdated.

My impression is that Tesla adjusted the sensitivity based on the speed of the cybertruck so that you don't need to do rotations.

by kiba 3y ago
The Cybertruck seems like overcorrection in the other direction. It also smells of the CEO’s influence overriding the car industry experience of von Holzhausen. Musk’s companies seem to do best when he’s focusing on fundraising and hiring,
