That's a small number of data center impacted and won't explain the 5x increase.

Then that's an issue with the indexes isn't it.

Yeah, kind of eye raising if people are still using Cursor now days.

Honestly depending on what you're doing, consider Gemini + Claud combo. Use Opus/Fable for design/architecture/complex work and have Gemini Flash 3.8 do the code gen and the rest of the simple stuff.

It's amazing how many things fail due to bad thermal design.

SendCutSend has CNC machining but the costs are no where comparable. And they don't have metal 3D printing available either. Surr you can laser cutter some things out of metal, but that's not really comparable to 3D parts.

That's for FDM. This is resin.

That's exactly it. That's why the entire influencer campaign exist and almost every influencer is saying the same thing.

I think this is one of those products they just release to get consumers innto their ecosystem before slowly starting to lock people in again.

Resin is generally very stiff but also very brittle. They are not as tough as composites (depending on resin used).

What do you use? I assume you're using ChatGPT or similar instead?

With the current state of the Democratic party, I think they'll just trip over themselves and fail. I wouldn't consider them a guaranteed win for 2028.

Yeah you will still feel the layer lines. You could try Nylon if you're looking for a smoother feel. But the layer lines will still feel rough. Resin would be a bit better in that regard depending on the resin you use. Just keep in mind many of the resins are very brittle. So depending on your application, resin may not be suitable.

Don't get a resin printer unless you can get it ventilated properly and have a proper work area for wash and cure.

Stick with a good FDM printer.

Putting IPA in an ultrasonic bath where it can get hot/vaporize is not a great idea.

Use a Matte filament, proper print settings, and low layer heights and you really won't be able to see the layer lines easily.

What FDM printer are you using?

Man, so many influences shilling this printer. And every single one of them says strikingly similar statements, almost as if they are following a script from FormLabs.

It's really surprising we have open source 3D printers with way more complex kinematics, parts, etc than a printer but we don't have a traditional open source printer despite printers existing since the 70s.

Yeah a new company setup a few months before the election doing this. Doesn't sound shady at all.

The pivot to claiming it was an experiment is just damage control for being caught.

I've tried smaller models and the best open models for a specialized UAV focused CAD + CFD + DFM optimization application I'm building.

The best open weights models still had a lot of defects and very egregious mistakes to fix even after I provided a very well detailed Requirement/Design/ Technical Implementation plans.

Opus and Gemini 3.8 (and now Argon) did a significantly better job. So I've baseline using these two models to build this application. I now use Opus for design/review and Flash 3.8 for the code gen/implementation work.

I'm sure small models and even open big models are probably fine for many common small apps and such, but they aren't really able to perform the same across all use cases.

Not sure if this is possible on the Fuji, but back in the old days of the Canon PowerShot being very relevant, there was CHDK firmware which ran off the SD card on boot. No physical impact to the device and fully reversible by reformatting the SD card. This would be the way to go to reduce bricking chances.

And that Spark isn't running a top end frontier model. Yes, the open weights smaller models that can fit on Spark are getting better, but they are still quite a way off in performance depending on use case.

Aseembly is mostly done by machines now, even for low volume its generally done by a pick and place machine setup. But depending on your product, things like thick power terminals may still be hand soldered as not every manufacturer/equipment can handle these.

Have you actually benchmarked it? If your current PCs boosting up to 5.5Ghz that means you have a pretty modern PC and quite a lot more powerful than a Pi 5. Also, you're completely missing out the IPC differences even given same clock speed.

If you're going after perf per watt, then sure the Pi will likely win. But not possible for raw performance if what you said is true about having a modern CPU with 5.5 Ghaz boost clock.

I'm guessing it will still be Micro USB lol.

It'spossible it's thermal limits are being triggered. Many years ago I had a laptop that started dropping WiFi when it got too hot. Fixed it with some copper shims and thermal tape.

They are two different things. You're not running a full blown Linux OS on the ESP32. But many of the simple projects people used the Pi for can be done with the ESP32.

Law firms are paying because the founders were former lawyers and know what the customers want and the firms trust that pedigree. As for why they pay Harvy, its about risk exposure and management. Same reason companies pay for Security appliances and vendors rather than trying to roll their own.

Exactly. The old saying "No one got fired for buying IBM" applies here, except it's Harvey and not IBM.

No, they are trusting Harvy because the founders have legal/Law background and know what the customer wants. Plus the B2B contracts I'm sure they sign.
