He showed in one of his videos that he uses some explosive material for the spark and explosion, but it's been years so I don't exactly remember.

You can only connect to it from the same LAN, yes, except you can't connect locally to it unless you disable the cloud features first.

Trivially easy to set up Tailscale, if you have a machine on 24/7 at home.

How did Prusa hold the industry back? Were they suing other printer manufacturers who innovated? "Not innovating myself" isn't the same as "holding other's innovations back".

Prusa is the most open of the printer manufacturers. They did have to backtrack a bit because Bambu copied their slicer to use for themselves and undercut them, but they're still as open as you can get in a capitalist economy.

Maybe you know this, but ElectroBOOM doesn't actually electrocute himself, it's just a running gag.

That comes with a big caveat. You can either choose to use the printer offline, or online, with no ability to use both. If you want the ability to monitor or pause a print when you're not home on the off chance something goes wrong, yo

It's not like you have a choice, the printer doesn't work locally unless you enable LAN mode, and then it only works locally. Bambu make you pick either "closed servers" or "the mobile app doesn't work"

I think there's a massive difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law, and saying "but the letter of the law didn't say I couldn't!" doesn't make you any less of a thief.

No. It took the entire crate and paid nothing.

Oh that whole thing is a higher level! I see now, I thought that top section is actually a ground section, thanks.

I don't see this as an issue with the company. They were happy to release their code as OSS, as long as that allowed them to make enough money to develop the software. It was a win/win, and them AWS came and took advantage of that

I have a $100 Claude sub and a $20 OpenAI sub.

by stavros 6mo ago
These were open source projects that had to change licenses away from open source because of AWS. I'm not sure how the OSS companies are the bad guy here.

I mean, I wouldn't leave an unattended laptop anywhere. Maybe the real test is "if you had forgotten your laptop at a coffee shop for ten minutes, what probability would you assign to going back there and successfully recovering i

Oh, there's a hole at the top of the line that leads to an underground lane? That makes sense, I couldn't make that out in the photo, thanks.

by stavros 6mo ago
Of course AWS didn't create the forks until the projects changed their license to disallow AWS from making money from their code! That's the whole point here.

Hm I understand the bumper part, but what does the line represent? Why does it need to run on the underside?
830.
by stavros 6mo ago
Hm what's the problem with that? I understand that the bumper extends down, but what else needs to be on the underside that makes this unbuildable?

That sounds like a process problem. LLMs, like any tool, work better if you don't use them in the naive "do this" way. This works well for me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48083267

Space Cadet wasn't bundled with Windows, was it? It was included in Microsoft Plus! 98 but not Windows 98.

Yeah but those are classified as addictions because they have a harm component (lung cancer, liver disease, societal impact). LLMs aren't going to kill you. If anything, it might be like gaming addiction. If you've gotten to the p

I don't know, I can understand "some people might overdo it and get addicted to LLMs". I can't understand "LLMs are slot machines and that's all they're good for" when I use LLMs every day to do tons

I'd recommend a different workflow, with extensive upfront planning. This works extremely well for me: https://www.stavros.io/posts/how-i-write-software-with-llms/ It's to the point that I just push the

Yeah, that hasn't been my experience. The outcome, for me, is extremely consistent. I ~never have to "reroll" by wiping work and doing it again.

I don't think the difference between a designer and a slot machine is that one gives you results more slowly, "therefore it's not gambling". If you're making the argument that LLMs are gambling simply because they&#

All gambling addiction is addiction, not all addiction is gambling.

How is this different from hiring a designer, telling them "make me a website" and then waiting to see if they resolve the uncertainty into something you like or not? I tell LLMs what to do in pretty high detail, and they do it. W

Really? All the hires I've seen had an 8-hour/5-day limit, or you had to pay through the nose for extended usage outside that window. Where do you get your 24/7 hires from?
