Thanks for the context. That makes sense.

That sounds like two separate things then. Could you not have people select a destination without locking in an elevator? (I've never encountered destination dispatch myself, so I'…

Destination dispatch should be no worse than standard up/down buttons, right (at least in theory)? It provides additional information about the destination, but it should be possib…

Overdiagnosis can be a problem. On the flip side, I wonder if adding the time dimension to the data (i.e., you could realistically have scans from every few weeks over the course o…

I love my X1C. It's way ahead of any other 3D printer I've owned or built. I stuck it in a VLAN from day 1. Have had it in LAN-only mode for years. Works great. I haven't followed …

It sounds like they're doing what people want. People seem to be ascribing a lot of mal-intent to actions that don't seem malicious to me. > completely exposes your printer by remo…

> they're deliberately working towards removing any other form of access to our hardware Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think that's what is happening. They aren't doing anything …

Bambu Lab has made plenty of mistakes, but I don't think this is one of them. And I'm a big supporter of open-source software. Their cloud infrastructure obviously has real costs a…

That's true if we're correcting OCR of actual output text. In this case, it's operating on the base 64 text, trying to produce chunks that form valid zlib streams and PDF syntax so…

Letting Claude work a little longer produced this behemoth of a script (which is supposed to be somewhat universal in correcting similar OCR'd PDFs - not yet tested on any others t…

Nerdsnipe confirmed :) Claude Opus came up with this script: https://pastebin.com/ntE50PkZ It produces a somewhat-readable PDF (first page at least) with this text output: https://…

It looks like this does make some things easier , but I'm not sure if it's actually better . From what I can tell, any time you use this to check something like the customer's subs…

It sounds great, but every time I see this argument, I end up going down the rabbit hole of actually studying how stablecoins operate. And every time, I come to the same conclusion…

Exactly. The only way for this to deliver on its goals would be for it to not be public or permissionless. And if that's the case, then it should really just be a database and/or a…

This is a really good point. To illustrate the temporal aspect: consider a traditional film projector. Between every frame, we actually see complete darkness for a short time. We c…

I agree. However, let's look at it practically. Let's assume someone is watching content streamed on a low bandwidth connection. As a content creator, what version of the compresse…

To the comments hating on grain: everything naturally has some amount of noise or grain - even the best digital sensors. Heck, even your eyes do. It's useful beyond just aesthetics…

> both it and the synthesized grain image look noticeably less sharp than the source That's true, but at a given bitrate (until you get to very high bitrates), the compressed origi…

I should have worded it like this: I prefer to watch movies in UHD, even though they're usually also HDR. I don't think anyone is saying HDR isn't really HDR. It obviously does sup…
