None I know did. If you do your research, all the hype around Bambu is paid. Influencers pushed it. Tech deep dives show it is sub standard. Posted on HN.

Prusa is king. High quality. Open source. EU made and engineered. Slicer is a market leader (Bambu's a fork of it).

We have coding agents heavily coupled with many aspects of the company's RnD cycle. About 1k devs.

Yes, you definitely need the project's context to have valuable generations. Different teams here have different context and model steering, according to their needs. For example, specific aspects of the company's architecture is supplied in the context. While much of the rest (architecture, codebases, internal docs, quarterly goals) are available as RAG.

It can become noisy and create more needless review work. Also, only experts in their field find value in the generations. If a junior relies on it blindly, the result is subpar and doesn't work.

Wording says permit from "developer website". I expect ugly lockdown when it comes to installing software on Android as freely as on PC.

Technically, yes, but will yield poor results. We did it internally at big corp n+1 and it, frankly, blows. Other than menial tasks, it's good for nothing but a scout badge.
Heh, come on. It's the breakup of the family unit by the woke plague. It's time to face the music and let children be children.

Yeah, well, harvesting human organs (selling them to US customers) and maintaining death camps in 2024 is kind of "bad guys" for me. But, to each his own, I suppose.

Other than these small misdemeanours, they're saints! Doubly so on the internet. /s

Looking at Fluent UI VS featured-themes, I don't see a difference.

I'll ignore Apple because: 1) It loads _extremely_ slowly (10+ seconds). 2) Just looks like a dark theme and nothing more.

ROI is more important than silly benchmarks.

But, we can play the benchmark game, if that tops your morning cereal.

Competes with Go. Blows most popular TS frameworks out of the water.

Asking DevOps to program for basic tasks. Cool story, bro.
Wrong. For all intent and purposes, you could switch any cryptocurrency with whatever FIAT in your sentence and it still applies. I don't hunt money and wear it as a necklace (lion teeth). I don't mine it out of a gold mine. It is given to me in exchange for work.

Given. Exchange.

If you and I agree that we only accept little tin circles; What's the difference? When you say money, what are you referring to? Just the US bank note? Some brass coins? Any FIAT?

Today's FIAT have nothing to do with what currency, basically just a fancy IOU note, used to be. Currency WAS representative of human work. Directly. The oldest known form are lion teeth. You had to WORK to get them. It was direct proof of work. And it was important to keep that link so no arbitrary value is taken or added to it.

The next major leap of currency was IOU notes. Notes that banks respected between each other. One bank gives you some paper that says "trust me, bro, I'm worth 2 lion teeth". You go to another bank and can exchange that paper back to 2 lion teeth.

At one point in time, the US bamboozled the entire world and declared the US dollar as some form of new gold bar (what it was previously tied to, gold; proof of work). Tying all of FIAT to it. A value that can more easily be arbitrarily changed. And, since then, propaganda reigns supreme and people like you are born. Praising a nonsensical paper as some kind immovable artefact of mankind.

Language evolved. Law evolved. Currency didn't evolve. And, for some reason, you are fighting its evolution.

Don't vote.

Yeah, manual GUI work. Like any good MS product.
Maybe you'd also like a cloud service that ties your shoes? God forbid you should move a muscle.
Sorry, no one is interested in a device subscription business model. People like to own their hardware.

Why? It's not random.
Private companies provide equipment and software to analyse all raw data going through an ISP. All the big names, from US and EU to some countries in Asia, bought this equipment and software.

So, my guess is that a government's budget can enable sampling anything from "so much bandwidth". Regarding encryption, if you run the numbers, to brute force common encryption algorithms it would take Google's compute 1 second. Image all Google service have an outage for 1 second. Google is just an example to imagine the sizing required. In other words, technically possible. And shouldn't be dismissed with "oh, there is encryption, so that door is closed for any threat actor".

> Source: I worked on said analytical software.

Cool. Will you pay the cost difference afterwards? I kinda don't like the taste of bugs.

Not sure why people are beating around the bush; The overwhelming majority of them are degenerates. Either they will sport some variation of the pedophile flag ("trans") or outright defend it in chat.

It has become so bad that moderators will not ban these people even if they explicitly try to justify molesting children. Some of them are moderators themselves. And even have calls to genocide in their bio. This is most prevalent in the ArchLinux community. Specifically, their Telegram channels.

Pay more for less. It's that simple.
Yes.

You should ask yourself how you reached the point that you're fighting on big corp side? I find that extremely interesting.

Most propaganda is obvious. But this... This is amazing. No media clearly puts it on a pedestal. But, so many tech people I talk to have this knee jerk reaction to vehemently defend whatever large corp is in the context. Amazing.

Anyway, back on point; Yes. Obviously. It is in my best interest that information be as accessible as possible. So, I'd like as much of it as possible to be as accessible as possible. There is a law here that forces marketplaces to publish their prices of all their inventory at any given time in an accessible digital manner. This is a push in the right direction. Must it all be black and white; Does TFT have to work for free? No. But whatever solution there is to keep data accessible is in my best interest. Their revenue or their industrial advantage is not in my best interest.

Because piracy doesn't hurt the digital market. Neither party need be concerned.
You misread; He didn't say all laws are bad. But, only an idiot can think that a world where corps write laws isn't corrupt. None of us, right?
Disgusting world we're hurling towards.
Had to scroll far too long for this.

In one relative's case with an old laptop, I installed some light distro, Firefox with an ad-block and it's been stable for a few years. She only browses a few favorite sites.

Other's infatuation with Apple's overpriced *nix boxes is a true testament to Apple's marketing department. Pay more for less. We can't spend so many thousands every few years.

Anecdotal outcome of US marketing. Our older relatives are all on PC and Android (one of them 95) and can attest to the same.

Careful to what money sink you throw your elderly into.

But, some already operate at their peak. Then, you automate that and they can only shift to unemployment. The conversation shouldn't be about replacing the most skilled workers. The conversation should be about what happens to the average worker. That has an average IQ level. That can't learn something to compete with the automation. These people have families. These people will suffer.
My guess it has to do with shit conditions. I mean, shit break must be off the clock? F that.
Enough with all the web frameworks.

So, the userbase is increasing? Because those "15 years younger" are already on other platforms shaking their donkey.

Sounds like a great meeting summary but did it yield results?
