Yeah the law firms just haven't caught up yet. But they will.
It's not only the filament, but the extruder.

The CDC has some good info on 3D printers, but they don't mention food safety: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/publications/numbered/2024-103.htm...

Here is an article on the food side of things: https://spoolhound.com/food-safety-guide

I would be concerned about the lead in 3D prints. Even if you take proper precautions (which is very difficult because it's the material in the extruder and filament) they are not food safe and easily grow bacteria.

Not that well. Nevada is starting to have issues due to the lack of gaming and tourism. It's nothing like it used to be.
See that's the thing. They will likely limit other LLMs but leave their own access level.

Japan is quite a bit different in that regard since they have family registries. Their issue tends to be death records.

Don't even need compute onboard, just on site. And something I control and own.

Except this is settled case law. LinkedIn tried and lost against scrapers.
The war has already been declared. It's just another battle.
If I hit something like that I am just gonna close the tab and move on with my day.

If it's something really important then I am going to very loudly complain to their support until I can bypass it.

Re:Old.reddit.com no longer works for logged out users on Monday August 31, 2026 @10:30PM (#49517307)
It's like just the old reddit accounts that use it, and they just don't care about us anymore. It's all about that ad money and tracking.
Re:Old.reddit.com no longer works for logged out users on Monday August 31, 2026 @09:39PM (#49516937)
It's simple, if I can't access old.reddit without a login, then I don't access reddit at all.

My money is it won't be long before old reddit is deprecated altogether.

its likely not the metadata, since they already have access and sell that, but then they can sell ads on maps like Google does.
That's great for Utah, but most other places in the US don't have a system like that and are stuck with one maybe two ISPs.

It's not that the market is moving away, but more like car companies realized if they want to sell monthly subscriptions in the future, they need to own the software.
They are quoting the book/movie the circle.
I agree. I think the only reason it hasn't happened yet is they didn't really have away to do anything with the data. But now with AI they can process it into reports pretty easily at scale. That is what all of these data centers going up is really about.
It could also be an easy way to not have to implement backdoors for the government/military.

Sounds like someone is selling securities without a license tbh.

Not yet, but it's only a matter of time. Local AI doesn't need to be bleeding edge either. Even capabilities of older modals would be fine.
Re:Claude Code no longer included in Pro tier? on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @07:38PM (#47856373)
And this is why local AI is going to be the future.
This is the way. WordPress's is so popular because you can get it to do or be anything. I have done some terrible terrible things to WordPress. Need a simple blog? No problem! Want a LMS? Sure why not! e-commerce? Go for it! CRM? Absolutely! Etc etc.

But there are many many "WordPress" developers out there that only know how to glue plugins together, so you often end up with plugin soup.

In the hands of someone who actually knows how to code you don't have any issues.

My best guess is ads.
Don't do instant non-reversible transfers. Specially for a transaction that is highly likely to be fraud. I.e. person transfers to someone you haven't done business with before or foreign accounts. Also the fraud detection needs to go both ways.
Why is it on Google to stop this and not the banks?
Fly-by
The technology doesn't exist and it would be a huge waste of money.

How heavy would a telephone pole sized tungsten rod be?

What happens when China, Russia, India or Pakistan find out you are building this (cause you can't hide it if it's in near earth orbit)? They would either knock it out of the sky or hit you with everything they have. We would do the exact same if anyone else was developing such a weapon.

Nah they are pretty good a banning users that don't follow the guidelines.
