From godot's pov though, banning AI won't guarantee some arbitrary contributor's PR doesn't include GPL code.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but it's worth noting there were plenty of GPL violations before LLMs existed.

This article doesn't land for me. The author complains about having to scan the code in sequence, but overlooks the fact that a waiter/waitress/till can only serve one person at time. And as you say, multiple people can scan a QR code, _and_ it would be trivial to print more.

Maybe I missed the point, but the aside about parking metres seems irrelevant. Just makes me think this is an anti-technology rant.

And again, the gripe about splitting up the bill. Not only is that a problem with existing systems, it's a problem that is solved by QR codes (if implemented correctly).

> What the article misses is that money is saved for the company by moving the work to the customer / end user.

It doesn't miss it. The whole framing of the article is the Dooman Fallacy - an organisation trying to save money by shifting [apparently] menial work to the customer ends up losing more than they save.

This is a fantasy.

No one is going to pay you to take your waste away and dispose of it. You would have to pay them.

So now there's a strong financial incentive to a) not over produce, b) sell the clothes - even if it means selling them for next to nothing.

Would the data from this satellite be freely available to the public? I couldn't see anything obvious

Interesting and useful article, but:

> If you are new to 3D printing and/or CAD for 3D printing, this is not the right article for you.

I feel like I would have been fine with this article about a week into my 3d printing journey.

> I don't know a single homeschooler that sits at home all day long.

Well, you wouldn't, would you?

Sorry, not to detract from your other points, but I thought it was funny.

Agreed. Seemed like a particularly poor choice to show off the capabilities of an image compression algorithm

OP makes an app for his own needs and his own phone and decides to share it for free, at considerable cost ($100/yr), and your response is to ask him to remake it for you, from scratch (in another language), for an OS that OP doesn't use? Holy shit

Until you click the "accept" button, you haven't agreed to accept any cookies, so if you instead click through to settings, it shows you the current state: cookies off. I think the toggles could be a bit clearer, but I don't really have a problem with it.

Having worked at AI (a long time ago), I can assure you this isn't some mastermind plot to sneak a couple of cookies onto the computers of the one or two people who click through to settings.

This will pair very well with my Anthropologie rock.
