The multimaterial is going to be really interesting, combining TPU + PLA for example. Or TPU + PETG, who knows! In addition to standard multi-color needs!

Prusa are clearly tools: you can fix it, modify it, and still have warranty apply. You can get after-sales parts, and service. Bambu are appliances. They can work great out of the …

What value to a person does teaching "how to use it effectively" deliver? How does that benefit their development, learning, society as a whole? Before you start in with "it'll hel…

I think "working product" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for you here. I think anyone who has done serious product development wouldn't be so flippant and dismissive about the dif…

The price hikes are going to be absolutely devastating. Imagine oracle level price acuity along with 0 competition and utter dependence. This is the future the AI labs are drooling…

That's the thing, often when people say stuff like "its banned" what they really mean is: - the cost of mitigating the human health risk is too high - competitors in low-environmen…

Paint VOCs sounds fine, until it's done at industrial scale, and it's also your neighbor, and also all the children in the neighborhood have asthma, and also healthcare is a lot mo…

I've used chatgpt-shell, but I have since turned my LLM usage to gptel inside org-mode buffers. Every day I use org-roam-dailies-goto-today to make a new file and turn on gptel (th…

I mean... explain sora.

If I wanted to do that, I'd just move into engineering management and work with something less temperamental and predictable - humans. I'd at least be more likely to get a boost in…

The "just generate go code automatically then check it in" is a massive miswart from the language, and makes perfect sense because that pathological pattern is central to how googl…

It's kind of weird how you downplay tardive dyskinesia, as if it was kind of a no big deal, whatever kind of thing. Would you accept having tardive dyskinesia induced by a drug? Is…

regarding #2: "Automate the dumb/boring stuff", I always think of the big short when Michael Burry said "yes I read all the boring spreadsheets, and I now have a contrary position"…

The author is pointing out that aggregate productivity hasn't really gone up. The graphs are fairly compelling. There are many reasons for your experience, and I am glad you are ha…

Apparently Mac sales are seeing a big growth spurt lately. This isnt obvious at the Apple bottom line because iPhone dominates, but they are growing that market segment! The apple …

There was a quote recently where Nadella was trash talking the apple AI stuff, and like yes sure, but also do we not realize that Nadella isn't a random third party CEO, he's liter…

I think the reason why Apple hasnt come out with such a useful personal assistant AI is because the underlying technology just doesn't make this so easy. Apple is the only company …

As a long time Mac and iPhone user, I just don't get all the complaints about innovation. Macs are as innovative as they ever have been, maybe more. Apple silicon has been an absol…

From a CEO pov this move makes no sense, as evidenced by the fact that literally no on else does it. It goes against all MBA orthodoxy.

I think there are parallels with functional languages on the JVM. The parts that are the worst are the parts that were built for maximum interoperability. Not to mention that the J…

Because there's a strategic benefit and the cost is practically negligible compared to the cost of this section of the economy going away. That is the political calculation, not "t…

Just cancelled my Cursor sub due to claude code, so heavily agree.

So this has already been conceived of many decades ago, and there are some substantial issues with it, the illustrious djikstra covers it: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcript…

This article is literally the definition of TL;DR. It's fairly hard to get thru, I spaced and skipped the conclusion, that the treatment isn't permanent and can be undone.

The notion that "many localities completely controlled by Democrats" is just not really true. The idea that zoning reform is a no-brainer and easy is also clearly not true: it's be…
