Yeah. I recognize the bias and the need for clicks/eyeballs, and their motivations, and it applies to all of them. I generally expect someone telling me something to not be deceiving me, and I'm so often disappointed.

I haven't tried to scaffold whole projects, but otherwise that lines up with my usage of AI copilots so far.

At this point, they're good at helping you interface with the built in commands and maybe some specific APIs, but it won't do your thinking for you. It just removes the need for some specific base-level knowledge.

In this case, it looks like they're in high school, too. I love anime and have seen the worst of it, and I'd never expect this to have explicit sex in it. If you told me it ended up being incredibly violent I'd be less surprised than about the sex.

"You shouldn't judge a book by its cover", but that's exactly what the cover is made for. This cover failed to represent its book.

IIRC, they even have a rewards thing right now where you can get some free stuff for playing their games specifically on mobile, trying to draw more attention to their new store.

This already happens with those comedy talk show hosts. They create rage-bait stories and spin them for good entertainment, and people think it's an accurate look at the situation. I used to kind of enjoy them until one of them hit on a subject I had just researched and knew immediately how they were spinning it. I can't stand them now.

So while this is a concern, it's one that's already being done on a much larger scale with people who feel a lot more trustworthy. I'm not really worried about some kids that are also doing it.

Wow. The "designed to fail" backdrop on the video says a lot about this. They're aiming for clicks, rather than rigorous testing.

I'm not at all surprised that TVs aren't designed to be used 24/7 by residential users. And I'm not at all surprised that running them for 10,000 hours straight causes a lot of problems for them.

And I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that overworking them in the short term like that isn't the same as using them regularly and normally for 6 years. Some of those things might still happen, but some of it is death from overheating.

I think they were talking about the built-in ad blocker that certain other (not firefox or chrome) browsers have, instead of UBlock.

Not a huge surprise, but ironic considering how hard he pushed the bot angle when he was trying to wriggle out of purchasing it.

Not only can it be removed, they've already said it going to happen soon.

Many, many restaurants now have mandatory tips right on the bill. They've already destroyed the concept, and this will just make it worse.

I have never worked there (or any other major tech company) but if I had a job there, I wouldn't give it up until I'd found another job. Perhaps the people there aren't going crazy at the job hunt and still just haven't found another job they want.

It's really easy to think "all the layoffs are over and I made it" and "job hunting is painful, I don't want to do it today" and just coast for a long time.

I'm sure every awful thing he does spurs another effort for job hunting, but unless the job actually makes them work harder or fires them, it probably doesn't change much for them.

Also, they get paid a lot more than I do, and sometimes it's worth the pain to keep raking in that cash.

Close. They want a cut from all users that use the Patreon IOS app. Since they can't quite stretch that far, they're insisting that Apple IAP functionality be built into the app and it be offered to the users. And as before, they can't tell the users that it's cheaper, or even available, elsewhere.

 

On the bottom of my prints, there's an area of underextrusion and I can't figure out what's causing it.

I first noticed it when I switched back to a textured PEI bed while trying to print ASA. It's on 20x20mm squares, and it's on the test print for setting up pressure advance... But only on the left-most object.

It's the same even if I add 2 lines of skirt or not. (In addition to my KAMP Voron purge.)

It happens everywhere on the bed that I've tested. It happens to PLA, but it harder to see. For ASA, it's very obvious. For PLA, it's almost as smooth as the rest of the surface, but it's there if you know what you're looking for.

I've only been printing PLA for quite a while now, so I don't know when this started.

I've got an LDO Voron 2.4 with Tap, KAMP, Revo hot end. I've calibrated pressure advanced and changed the value, and I've tried different z offsets with the textured bed, which doesn't change it. (But does change how good the rest of the bottom surface looks.)

Anyone got any ideas?
