Having more than two browser engines out there would be nice for standardization reasons.

Men only want one thing, and it’s an Astraeus Super-heavy Tank.
Tammy Baldwin is my dem senator. She’s might be more of a Hillary Clinton Democrat than Hillary Clinton, but I called.
Incidently, the caller ID on her DC office line still lists Herb Kohl. He left the office over a decade ago, and died a little over a year ago.
We have a situation. A situation that calls for anarchism panties.
The Green Meanie? No, the magazine is in front of the trigger.
I am unironically eyeing a giant Army duffel bag for that:
I need to look more at milsup storage containers.
Them: What’s in your GI footlocker case?
Me: Boots, floggers, and condoms, just like originally intended
There is absolutely nothing inevitable about technological change. We think that way because of the specific place we are in history. A specific place that is an aberration in how fast those changes have come. For the most part, humans throughout history have used much the same techniques and tools that their parents did.
You also can’t separate AI technology from the social change. They’re not dumping billions into data centers and talking about using entire nuclear reactors to power them just because they think AI is a fun toy.
Was there anything in the posts above mine that suggest this was a technical issue, or did you read that in as an assumption?
Every time a significant change in technology comes about, there is a significant impact to jobs. The printing press destroyed the livelihood of scribes, but it made books dramatically cheaper, which created new jobs for typesetters, booksellers, etc.
Take a look at the history of the first people called “Luddites”. They were early socialists focusing on the dismal working conditions that new automation would bring to the workers. And they were correct.
Not every technological change is good. Our society has defaulted to saying yes to every change, and it’s caused a whole lot of problems.
The source code on these models is almost too boring to care about. Training data and weights is what really matters.
These models are trained on human creations with the express intent to drive out those same human creators. There is no social safety net available so those creators can maintain a reasonable living standard without selling their art. It won’t even work–the models aren’t good enough to replace these jobs, but they’re good enough to fool the C-suite into thinking they can–but they’ll do lots of damage in the attempt.
The issues are primarily social, not technical. In a society that judges itself on how well it takes care of the needs of everyone, I would have far less of an issue with it.
I agree, but I understand the temptation. It can take your company from 0 to 100 almost instantly, since you have the budget to hire social media and SEO experts to take you to that magical “viral” status. Not doing this often means toiling in obscurity and never going anywhere. If you do manage to make enough money for your whole team to quit their day jobs, then it almost certainly took longer.
Quick and easy path leads to the Dark Side.
Or, like, white Americans adopting any other culture from black Americans.
Microsoft got off the hook when Bush II took office. Tech in general took that as a sign that monopolies were fine. That was just starting to be reversed when Trump took a second term and here we are.
Imagine VR so real that someone severely allergic to cats can know what it’s like to give one scritches and feel it purr. Imagine someone who is paraplegic knowing what it’s like to swim or climb a mountain. Now imagine how much money Mark Zuckerberg will make when it’s $22.95/month with ads and requires you to put in your Social Security Number.
I could see the argument that it’s more air gapped this way. Without having physical access to the Pi (or at least SSH access), it’d be hard to get any network connection through USB.
But personally, I just blocked outgoing traffic from the printer.
I checked on where Edsel prices have gone. They mostly match inflation. Not a worthwhile investment as a car that people are interested in decades later because it’s an infamous failure.
There are some projects out there that do the entire frame. Steppers, hotend, and control boards are out of reach. There’s some hypothetical ways you could do it, but it’d be far more expensive than buying off the shelf stuff and probably get worse results. Even the frames tend to take a lot of filament.
It’s more of a nice idea than something practical.
AR15 lower receiver model. You can buy a kit that’s 85% of the way to done and only needs basic tools from there.
What do you want to have happen? The car exists and is in an owner’s hands already. Elon doesn’t make any more money no matter if they sell it or not. It’s environmental waste to simply scrap it. What are the options, here?
