You are describing many low end tailor shops. You walk in, get 3d scanned (by the 'tailor'), choose your fabrics, and the order gets sent to the printer (the nearby sweatshop). It could be same day turn around if they didn't

Wash it? Toss it into the recycler and print a fresh one tomorrow morning :) The video show a heat gun at fairly close range shrinking the fabric, which would be over 80 degrees. You might be able to get away with hot water, but I suspect t

Absolutely agree. Being able to analyze and summarize reviews like this will make reviews much more useful. Especially given star ratings have become nearly pointless over the last few decades. Once polished, I should be able to do cool thi

@dang Can you let us know why this got flagged if it was not an error? It is a less well known medical condition and some of us have a vested interest in knowing if the article is rubbish or not.

We were quite surprised to learn recently from an unrelated HN article that there is now an essential tremor cure through ultrasonic brain surgery. FDA approved 2016 and now available in various countries. https://www.fusfoundati

Interesting that this relies on 'eventually' dropping the app from US controlled app stores. While in various courts are attempts to easily allow first class alternative app stores, not necessarily controlled by the US. I guess la

In the free version, that would certainly be how it gets monetized. But a lot of interest is on markets that will pay for the service, such as businesses. I would fully expect this to be a differentiator between Microsoft Co-Pilot on Window

I doubt the safety argument will hold up in court. Anything safe enough to allow Microsoft or others access too would be safe enough to release publicly. Our AI overlords are not going to respect an NDA. And for the public safety/disin

So much of the discussion here is about being a non-profit, but per your quote I think the key is open source. Here we have people investing in an open source company, and the company never opened their source. Rather than open source techn

No, you can reasonably expect an open source company to open their source. Allowing you and everyone else to benefit from the work. The lawsuit is because all of the competing companies should not need to be wasting money catching up, when

I don't think the problem is with having a for-profit wing. The problem is that only the for-profit wing got to use the technology developed by the non-profit, when the non-profit was explicitly tasked with releasing the technology to

I don't see why this is a problem for the case. It demonstrates that OpenAI had not released its tech to the public, which includes Elon Musk. He wouldn't have needed to try wresting control if they had done what the non-profit wa

No, this removes plaques, and having plaques means you already have Alzheimers. This just slows or stops progression. Thankfully we seem to be developing ways to test for Alzheimers, so we should be able to catch it before any symptoms, and

This will depend on how accurate the machine is. I assume that not only are there restraints to keep the head in the right place, but that the machine targets the beams based on where the head actually is rather than where it expects it to

We had somehow missed this treatment for essential tremor, and thanks to this video expect a family member will be visiting a neurologist or surgeon soon to discuss, for the same reasons you describe. Now available in Australia apparently.

A lot of the world most certainly does, especially in rural areas that are not connected to water treatment plants. Bore water tends to be hard, so humans stick to the rain water when we can get it.

Not quite. Since we are talking about wildlife, you have to remember that the kangaroo does not respect your speed limit and may be approaching at 50km/h. You can avoid the mobs if you can spot them at a distance.
