Yeah it’s a Democratic governor. Ain’t no way they’ve enough spine to appoint someone and let the courts sort it out.

Dude went a few SECONDS over his time and they arrested him. Even when he said he was done speaking.

This is actually very common across businesses. My company actually has our bonuses tied to AI adoption, so we have dashboards showing people’s AI usage. Other major companies have done the same, which lead to the practice of “token maxxing” where people were using AI to make more AI calls to boost their numbers up.

Sometimes Lemmy posts line up in perfect coincidences and it freaks me out a little.

The problem with AI is that they cannot increase the prices enough to be profitable.

I saw something about the SpaceX IPO that said for it to be justified at that price, everyone on earth with some sort of money (they defined it as earning at least $14,000/year) had to become an xAI consumer and spend $28,000/year. Seems reasonable /s

I was talking to one of our cloud architects at work yesterday. They did a test and just ran in “asdf” to a chat prompt, and were able to trace the costs. It was 12 cents.

I could totally see AI costs getting out of control very quickly. Doing something like a Copilot formula in an Excel spreadsheet is easily going to run up hundreds of dollars of costs eventually.

While working on some client code, my coworker and I came across a case statement that said something like

if myBoolean == TRUE
then blah
else if myBoolean == FALSE
then blah blah
else if myBoolean is null
then blah blah blah

Ever since we’ve always laughed at the “trinary bit”.

There seems to be a pretty strong correlation though

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like Roku’s fault.

Huh, it works on my machine…

TLDW; billionaire Michael Bloomberg is behind multiple laws in mostly blue states to require spyware be added to all 3D printers under the banner of “gun control”.

He’s attempted to hide this as a grassroots effort, when in reality it’s nearly completely funded by him and his organizations. There’s a call to action to contact your representatives if that legislation is being proposed in your state and voice your opposition to letting billionaires control what you can and cannot 3d print.

I think oil and gas companies are responsible for a lot of that misunderstanding though. For example, you think the average person would be concerned about how heavy EVs are without someone pushing that narrative?

Can confirm. Bought one, loved it, so bought another. Would never consider going back.

Yeah I feel like hybrids are a terrible solution from an ownership perspective. You still have to get gas and do maintenance on a gas engine and all that comes with it. All so you can maybe road trip with a little less range anxiety once a year?

I miss that glass aesthetic from 2001

The video specifically calls out Creality from a few years ago - and also the Bambu stuff recently.

I thought he made some interesting points about how ultimately this type of legislation is just encouraging 3D printer manufacturers to just abandon open source, something they’ve been trying to do for years.
