Please, please do NOT buy a resin printer as your first printer; IF you want to print intricate details (where resin excels) at least start with an FDM printer anda 0.2mm nozzle. Lots of information can be found here at r/fdmminiatures.

Resin is extremely toxic and requires a dedicated area and handling and care.

So if you steal something it means the owner didn’t do a good job securing it and if you murder someone they didn’t do a good job protecting themselves?

What an absurd world view.

Can you post the specs on your missile defense system for your home lab?

How are you dealing with the rise of low-cast swarm attacks from drones?

Is it land-based, sea-based or space-based and at what point of the trajectory do you target and do you use jamming?

I couldn't find anything else to do exactly what I wanted (or wasn't just a blatent rugpull towards "enterprise pricing" waiting to happen) so I slopped together an MCP Proxy that uses FastMCP to proxy a list of upstream MCPs behind Entra oauth, with CEL-expressions for per-tool RBAC.

The peace of mind it brought not trusting other people's slopped out MCPs to do the right thing with authentication is immense.

It's internal only, but it was a Fable 5 one-shot (3 shot if you count a second prompt to generate the Helm Chart and docs site) that you could DIY because the FastMCP library is extremely sensible and well-documented.

"Extreme Heat" seems to be 37-40 degrees Celsius which is bafflingly mundane to me as an Australian who grew up in rural New South Wales. We'd pack 30 kids and a teacher into an un-airconditioned classroom with just a ceiling fan and the windows open in that temperature.

I imagine the buildings there just aren't built to support that heat plus the body height of hundreds or thousands of attendees?

One approach is to just print CMYK resin like an inkjet printer (and then cure it with UV).

Do that hundreds or thousands of times and you eventually get Z height.

Look up the EufyMake E1 for a consumer/prosumer version.

You don't stay the most cash-rich company by chasing every expensive fad and they've been equally conservative with other "THIS WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING" tech fads such as Cryptocurrency and VR. I don't blame them for not rushing to light Billions a month on fire like the other big players; their play always seems to be to let things shake out and then deliver something refined and sophisticated.

There also doesn't seem like any real opportunity for them to Apple-ify this tech (any more than today's announcement). There's lots of rough edges and the underlying technology is fundamentally janky and extremely problematic in Apple's second differentiator of privacy.

What is the name for the literary device that LLMs use where it explains something and then follows with a "pithy" "gotcha" sentence?

> > Atherton didn't have to win. A CEQA lawsuit doesn't need a strong legal theory to do damage — it just needs to introduce enough risk that funders freeze and clocks keep running. The delay is the weapon.

In my opinion, this construct is massively overused by LLMs and is extremely jarring to read. The pithy followup "The delay is the weapon." feels like Year 8 Debate Club and is very melodramatic and cringy.

It must be possible to steer the LLM away from this?

There are other spots that stand out, but this is the point where I said to myself "oh this is the point where the author stopped "cowriting" and just pasted the LLM slop directly."

As an Australian with a family and 2 high-paying salaries paying a LOT of tax, none of those countries are remotely comparable to Australia.

If you hate taxes and fees, Singapore has a 60% Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty on residential property applied to foreign buyers, on top of an already insane property market. There's huge fines and government intervention into _everything_ and a massive high-stress culture.

Hong Kong is equally absurd for property and has a sword hanging over its head, that falls if China ever makes a move on Taiwan; the inevitable US and global sanctions would decimate HK.

Dubai is just a comical option.

This is total FUD.

The goal that AI-Megacorp CEOs have been pushing lately is "super intelligence" and so if that's where you truly think we are rapidly heading, what's the risk for those of us not hyper-invested in AI? This "super intelligence" (by definition) will be able to understand us both equally well, so all these "prompting skills" people claim sets them apart from people who don't use AI that much will be utterly pointless.

Assuming the cutting face is down, the handle is on "backwards" too (the swell at the bottom normally goes the other way).

I certainly wouldn't use a compiler that "screws up" 1% of the time; that's the perfect amount where it's extremely common where everything I use it for will have major issues but also so laborious to find amongst the 99% of correct output that I might as well not use it in the first place.

Which is ironically, the exact case those of us who don't find LLM-assisted coding "worth it" make.

At this point, where everyone is using an LLM to post and I'm having to use an LLM to keep up and summarise it, I think I'll just ...stop and go outside for quite a while...
