Default judgement, absolutely meaningless at this point as to how a court would rule against a plaintiff that actually showed up, respected the court’s authority, and defended itself.

You shouldn’t be using Fable for that, that’s Haiku work.

The AMS doesn’t cause the waste, it’s purging the old filament out of the tool head. The H2D and X2D can print two colors with an AMS without needing to purge and the H2C can do 7 without purging. You still need a prime tower when switching tool heads, but that is significantly less than a full purge. But I believe the INDX has the same restriction.

I do agree though that direct feeding each tool head offers the best experience vs the AMS approach.

I’m glad to see Prius’s catching up to Bambu on the color mixing front, Bambu has had CMYK filaments for a long time and has supported color mixing in their slicer for at least a month.

I see laziness all the time, Claude will be helping me plan work and then it will ask me how a piece of code is implemented. I then have the choice of manually verifying how it works, or to tell it to look for itself. Ideally it would just look without being told.

There is an argument that I’ve been seeing more recently that argues why we should expect open models to eventually reach good enough status that people use them over frontier commercial models.

Basically it boils down to geopolitics, the US economy is currently being propped up by a small subset of companies, and a lot of that is based on proprietary models and speculation in the market around them. China is going to continue to dump better and better free models out to complete. Thus pulling the rug out on all that speculation.

Helping neutralize their biggest rival.

I spent an hour yesterday getting the wall connector back on my wifi. Apparently last October when I added wifi 7 access points my network started working in WPA2/WPA3 mode and the wall connector wasn’t compatible with that. Ended up having to create a second SSID with WPA2 only support to get it back online.

Supposedly the newest update fixes that, but I haven’t taken the time to test that out.

But WiFi is shocking my fragile on these wall connectors, I’ve had a lot of trouble keeping it connected to my home network over the years.

The US Air Force learned this in the 50's. They built a cockpit based on the average body dimensions of pilots, what they ended up with is 0 pilots that were average and a cockpit that poorly fit everyone.

It’s the death penalty for anyone caught with one.

Bambu can't even keep their filament in stock, plus they ship the printers with multiple preloaded profiles for other filament vendors. I don't foresee them making that change any time soon.

So much that they walked away from a billion dollar deal with Disney by dropping Sora.

AI consumes entire data centers of compute. You aren’t tucking a few racks into a corner of a data center, you are building entirely new ones. There will be whole devoted teams.

Just ship a self contained build?

Ok that works for STL files, but printers don’t print STL files they print g code. G code is generated by slicers, and depending on your printer and settings the g code will be different.

Is this law obligating printer manufactures to lock down their printer to slicers that can do the STL naughty check?

Is the answer to buy a travel router and give it the same SSID as another network, either work or home? Or is this doing something more sophisticated than SSID snooping?

Some states handle this by requiring cars over a certain age to be emission checked before you can renew its registration. Failing cars have to be fixed and rechecked before you can get your tags.

My Samsung frame does that too, some TVs ignore the off CEC command. It might be a setting you can control on the tv. Last time I checked the frame did not have that option.

I avoided Blazor, despite multiple people on my teams pushing for it. It always felt like it fit in the same space as web forms and silverlight. A product created to fill a gap of developers that wrote desktop apps and don't want to learn how to write front end code for the web. Plus it binds you to the product lifecycle of a .net side project that likely will be abandoned.

While Blazor has some cool stuff built in, the cool stuff never felt worth the risk of building a product around it.

I think it’s less about managing the environmental impact of landfills and more about eventually the concentration of desirable materials in landfills may end up higher than in known natural deposits. Or at least easier to refine and separate.

The models aren’t static, we have to build validation sets to measure model drift and modify our prompts to compensate.

NPR had 3 stories last week in their NPR News Now Podcast about K-Pop Demon Hunters. Like I said it has 4 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 all in the top 10. It's the best performing movie ever on Netflix with over 236 million streams. It was so successful they actually did a run of showings on over 1,700 screens topping the box office charts for that week and grossing over 18 million in a weekend.

I'm not sure what else it would need to do besides dominate the music, box office, and streaming charts to be considered a success. It was widely covered in the news media as well. I predict that Rumi is going to be maybe the most popular costume with kids this year. My daughter and all her friends all claim they're going to be Rumi for halloween.

Stranger Things was huge, and maybe it's trailed off over the years. It never was quite as big as say Game of Thrones, but it was probably at least same tier as a Ted Lasso.

Wednesday is big as well, but hasn't dominated the work conversations as much as other shows, but I've heard it routinely mentioned in media. Wednesday Addams is also predicted as a top costume this halloween. The Wednesday dance was definitely a huge cultural meme last season.

But I guess to your point, there isn't something as big as a Game of Thrones out there right now on Netflix. But they have hit a pretty hot streak recently.

Netflix is right in its prime right now, K-Pop Demon Hunters is a smash hit and probably the biggest cultural thing going on right now, it has like 4 songs from it in the top 10. Wednesday is coming back this weekfor the end of season 2. Stranger Things is wrapping up in November,

Copilot replacing intellisense is a huge shame. Why get actual auto complete when you can get completely hallucinated methods and properties instead.

The spec from Apple could be clearer, you have to read the tea leaves and both sides have enough ammo to argue for their interpretation. But as someone who doesn’t care either way where these are stored I think that makes me a bit more objective than people who strongly have an opinion that they are looking to justify.

I think the Application support people have a stronger argument. Nowhere does it say store it in ~/.config for CLI tools. Also it seems weird to store user preferences in two different locations based on if it’s a CLI app or a GUI app. What if you have both interfaces?

I’m not saying that Application Support is the better solution, and if people feel that there should be a distinction between CLI apps and GUI apps they should push for Apple to update their standards. Repeatedly harassing an open source maintainer to relitigate an issue they’ve already decided on is counter productive and a waste of the maintainer’s time. I would be frustrated if I was him as well.

We are going the opposite way, putting instructions in md files and putting instructions in the Claude.md file when it should read those instructions.

While I prefer Cline/Roo at work where I have multiple API plans for AI models, for personal I have Claude Pro and that really only works with Claude code. The benefit is that I can use it on a $20 a month plan.

The service itself is a several week endeavor to do properly, you have to understand the impact of all the pushed passes on the QR code generator, put together telemetry, dashboards, and alerting for the new service. Depending on their infrastructure that could be difficult to spin up. You have to do a design and review with the team so this isn’t just understood by one person and can be supported by a team. Documentation, ADRs, etc. setting up processes for managing the cert chain over the long term. And you probably want to keep parity between the iOS and android apps, so you need to understand that work.

Then yeah, it lowers engagement with the app, which is probably tied to someone’s bonus.

Most of the time I just get function signatures that are already exposed via intellisense.

Sometimes they actually have examples of how to use it, but most are just Javadoc level, and of minimal use.

iPhone can control Apple TVs, and is able to detect which device you are nearest to and auto select it (if you have multiple)

Also all my TVs also have apps that function as a remote control.

Interestingly enough my main TV an LG has a remote that controls the tv using RF. I don’t even know if it would work with an IR blaster.

If a contractor installed exactly what he asked for, an RJ45 jack which would be unusable for his needs he would have no grounds to stand on to demand it be corrected without paying more. By specifying the technically correct name as well as the colloquially recognized name he is being precise and accommodating.

This was in response to a post about how to setup and calibrate and deal with Prusa Core One issues. The Bambu literally just runs a self calibration on first run, making the need for this sort of process unnecessary.

Maybe it’s not a big deal to do this on first setup, but clearly someone thought it was worth writing a blog post to explain to people.
