only one of the ones i linked is from the 80s. i think you’ll find the majority are from the 50s.

gosh where have i heard that before

i did some fun metaprogramming today. i can practically hear my future self screaming.

The Zone Of Interest (2023)

just like the only guy to win two unshared nobel prizes, yes

considering the massive accidents of models deleting codebases and production db’s, the fact that the tool may be open source doesn’t really help.

besides, i don’t know any open source models. i know of open-weight models, but i’ve yet to see anyone share the training regime and source data for an even vaguely effective model.

it wasn’t what i was getting at, but that’s also true. the model requires a certain setup to be effective, so now you’re locked into that. the model does things a certain way, so now you’re locked into that. nobody reads the code it produces, so now you’re locked into that.

all the while every other way of doing things disappears from your mind.

steve jobs famously called the personal computer “a bicycle for the mind”, in that it’s a tool that makes you more efficient. calling language models “an automobile for the mind” in that it gets you there very quickly, without any expended effort, locks you into specific intrastructure, and is bad for the environment, seems pretty apt.

sure but he only changed his tune last year. bambu has been doing shady shit for years and just gotten away with it.

…yeah

oh no the thing that everyone said would happen happened? who could have foreseen this?!

how did we miss scranking

you know the saying that english is five languages in a trenchcoat that drags other languages into alleyways to ruffle through their pockets for loose nouns?

english is basically the european pidgin language.

i think for many people, their own newfound ick for a person who has turned out to be (for lack of a better word) problematic sours their earlier works. some people then do post hoc rationalisation for that ick (“i never liked them”), and a subset of those people (mostly those with no internality) apply their experience universally (“i never liked them so if you did you’re weird”) and get real loud about it.

i’m going to continue assuming it’s a very small vocal minority. easier to stay sane that way.

that’s not unique to lemmy. the flood of “i actually never liked them” whenever bad shit comes out about a public figure is usually deafening.

it’s happened with multiple rolls from different makers though…

yeah i did one of those test prints yesterday. haven’t looked at the results yet though, hopefully it gets me somewhere

it’s an enclosed printer.

this printer reads the manufacturer settings from the spool so i was assuming it couldn’t be the fan. probably worth tweaking though.

i don’t know why but it just keeps coming loose. all the edges just want to bend up. a 2mm skirt wasn’t enough so i went to five.

this spool was dried in a polydryer on low heat for six hours at which point the hygrometer read 10%, left there overnight to see if the humidity climbed back up as it cooled (it didn’t), then tossed into my long-term spool storage (a big plastic bin with a half-kilo dessicant bag meant to dry out cars) where it’s been for something like two weeks. humidity in there is like 8%. if it’s not dried out after that i don’t know what will do it.

on the original image it’s like 7 layers in, but i did another adhesion test (after properly wiping the plate) with two layers and wrinkling happened instantly on the second layer.

i’ve done a flow rate test but i don’t have time to sit down and look at it today.
