Oh boy, the Steam community is cringeworthy. Like, TPUSA level.

Listen to the audiobook for Dungeon Crawler Carl. The book is good, but the audiobook is incredible. One of the best I’ve ever heard!

To be fair, I suspect he’s talking about the heroin after she was fired from her nursing job for stealing drugs.

But her addiction is what almost killed her. The (dubious) nationality of the dealers is irrelevant.

With three kinds of heat you can cook a turkey…in twenty-two minutes.

Yeah, we know. We’ve known since the day it happened and saw the tail fin peppered with anti-aircraft shrapnel.

Now own up to MH17.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t you use ð for ðe voiced version of th and þ for ðe unvoiced?

(Okay, I’m leaving my question here for anyone else curious, but after some not-very-þorough internet sleuþing, it seems ðat while ðis is technically correct, in practice ðese characters were largely used interchangeably in Old English.)

Right, so anything that might be used with other machines.

When was this? In my school years, the lab Macs were garbage. But I’ve had much better experience with more recent Macs (though I’d prefer to not use them in general).

Mac OS is heavily Unix-based, it’s not a terrible operating system. But it is an awful user experience if you’re not used to it.

I think there’s a stark difference between crafting your own comfyui workflow, getting the right nodes and control nets and checkpoints and whatever, tweaking it until you get what you want, and someone telling an AI “make me a picture/video of X.”

The least AI-looking AI art is the kind that someone took effort to make their own. Just like any other tool.

Unfortunately, gen AI is a tool that gives relatively good results without any skill at all. So most people won’t bother to do the work to make it their own.

I think that, like nearly everything in life, there is nuance to this. But at the same time, we aren’t ready for the nuance because we’re being drowned by slop and it’s horrible.

That’s beautiful.

That’s understandable. It worked on me though. I was convinced Taln was going to want revenge. 🤣

 

Seems like Bambu Lab has a new trick for reducing waste. Rather than a toolchanger like the Prusa XL or the Snapmaker, they're swapping just the nozzle. As far as I can tell from the video, the printer still has a second nozzle which won't swap in and out, meaning a print can be run with 7 nozzles (six from the Vortek system, plus the second nozzle in the toolhead). So if you're using 7 or fewer filaments, no pooping is necessary.

The cool bit here is that they're using wireless chips in the nozzles to communicate the thermistor data to the printer, so no pin-based connections are needed.

Pretty cool solution, I think. I assume you'd still need a prime tower, but that's a small amount of waste if they're eliminating poop from purging the nozzles.

I'm curious to see how they'll handle calibration, surely the nozzles aren't all going to be perfectly aligned all the time.
