Yes, I will never fail to associate this music with Short Circuit 2, it is also burned into my childhood memory.

It goes in your permanent Record Of Achievement! I was always told that this would be very a very important set of documents once I left school, and I am sure that I have no reason to doubt their statements!

> "punch em in the face"

Very weird interpretation of "voluntarily choose to not continue supporting them financially"

Presumably you want everyone to be forcibly compelled to finance the political parties they disagree with? And you would define this as a democratic society?

For the most part there aren’t 10x engineers

But there are certainly 0.1x engineers

> We’re all also discovering that many people’s idea of reviewing the output is to skim it and verify that it looks convincing enough.

I mean over time I've come to believe that most people are just _bad at reading_ - if you ask these people to compare two documents they'll say that they are the same if the wording or surface "feel" is at all similar, even if in the precision of the statement they say the opposite.

See also: People being generally bad at listening and hearing what they want to instead of anything quantitatively derivable from what the other person said.

None of this is written as an excuse for AI.

Also, infinite free time to learn, and no real cost to ongoing work by fucking things up

Half the point of wanting the H2D for me was the a) cutting (which was unavailable without laser upgrade IIRC), and b) increased volume. This just blew away both reasons, for £310/£370. I'd love to make use of the multiple hotends with the H2*, but it's a big compromise over multi-head solutions like the Prusa XL, or the Snapmaker, such that it's not been persuasive enough yet.

Very tempting.

We had some minor collaboration with Intel, went quite deep into SYCL/dpcpp a few years ago, even bought some fpga hardware.

Constantly ran into showstopping bugs in the compiler chain, that led us to think not many people were actually using in anger. Some of the bugs weren’t present on their devcloud, we assume they had livepatched some of them out.

And every few months they decide to reorganise or rename oneAPI, and every time they do this all the documentation URL change so it’s impossible to find old docs.

Then they deprecated the card we bought the month after, promised ongoing support, but the only available oneapi required RHEL8, whereas the drivers for the card only supported RHEL7. They removed the docs saying how to resolve this, and they didn’t work any more anyway if you had saved. And you couldn’t get old oneAPI without a paid support contract (and that had the bugs that we had proven to them anyway).

Long story short, will never, ever, ever touch anything INTEL software ever again.

“No supply chain attacks”

> Which reduces the problem down to "is Bambu doing that"? Given the installer is 300 megabytes, it probably contains both the application and the plugin, but you go launch an international lawsuit over "probably".

No, the plugin is downloaded at runtime on first launch

The amount of outright obfuscation with this issue is absurd. Either many of the big names that have jumped on the bandwagon are credulous idiots or deliberately misrepresenting what has happened for their own gain.

Not only does it exist, it's cheaper than Gitlab Premium.

GitLab has just as many outages, just nobody notices/cares so much

Orcaslicer is a perfectly legal fork, and in the past downloaded the official (closed source) binary blob to talk to the servers.

Bambu doesn’t want to serve people who reverse engineer the new (again, closed source) binary blob.

All of this being about the AGPL is just disingenuous ragebaiting.

Oh, I had no idea. It's been a few years since I used it in anger but it was a very pleasant package to use, with an extremely friendly licensing scheme (purchasing a permanent license for <current.X> got you all releases up until version <current+1.max>)

I’m in almost exactly the same boat.

2017 GTX 1070 and 32GB ram. I don’t run games 4K and still haven’t had any problems running reasonably pretty recent stuff.
