Nah, it just came out like that (i printed it :D)

We experimented with ironing, but you can't see it in those views. The A1 is a pretty good printer OOTB. There were a few iterations on the case design though to optimise the edges.

what's the solution here? vllm?

yeh sure! how'd you like to do so?

large corporates, financial services. Use cases were needle-in-a-haystack style searching, internal comms, following research topics over time, external newsletters, that kinda stuff. It wasn't particularly high margin but it was a fun business.

Sure. I worked at a company that produced tens of thousands of human written summaries of news data a year. This was costly and slow but our clients really valued them. Back in 2019 we fine tuned an LLM to help, we put a lot of effort into creating a human-in-the-loop experience, highlighting parts of speech that were commonly hallucinated and ensuring that we were allowing humans to focus on things that humans are good at.

We also released some of the data as a free dataset with a commercial option for all of it. This was more successful than I thought it would be and was hoovered up by the kind of people that buy these datasets.

It will have been surpassed by recent developments now but it was an incredibly enjoyable project.

did this come about because shopify was the first page you visited in your May update video? nice bit of serendipity!

if hypergols are allowable then some existing RCS thrusters would fit on a model rocket. Or rocketlab's curie is pretty small IIRC.

but...liquid propellents are either pretty dangerous (hydrazine et al), or impossible for an amateur to work with (cryo requirements, pressures required, complex starting sequence etc).

The plumbing, extra parts, materials required, tolerances mean that what you might consider as a "classic" liquid design ends up being pretty heavy at a small scale, so you have to build a bigger engine to cope with the extra weight. So you would end up with an engine not really that analogous to what you would consider "classic" liquid designs (gas generators/tap-offs/staged combustions).

However.... Frank Malina and Jack Parsons essentially did what you're proposing in the 1930s without any new fangled 3d printing technology, so it's possible! Just don't end up like Jack Parsons.

Just checking out the docs now, how do Loaders fit into the vision alongside AI functions? I can't quite piece it together in my head. Would a function grab extra context from a loader prior to execution? Is this supported now?
