+1 for heat gun. Doesn’t need a lot of heat and you should be able to get rid of the white without deforming the print

Ye, nightshade was defeated by a blur and sharpen iirc lol. Still, was a good first step.

Also csam in training data definitely is a thing

It’s not an artistic representation, it’s worse. It’s algorithmic and to that extent it actually has a pretty good idea of what a person looks like naked based on their picture. That’s why it’s so disturbing.

Yeah fair enough, my a1 mini is still a nice little workhorse, but I can fine tune like nothing on it and that bugs me

+1 for the Q1 pro

For a compsci major is recommend something with klipper that’s easy to tinker with. Bambu is great for non tech people that need an appliance that just works (down vote me if you want, I’m not condoning their lockdown practices).

Qidi is good but their klipper is modified and not open source. Q1 pro is what I have and it’s great but modifying the firmware is, last I checked, is a whole project not supported by the company.

Elegoo and creality are good choices but I’m not very familiar with the printers personally.

Prusa is great but they are pricey and have been falling behind in innovation.

It took me days to get around to watching the video because of the thumbnail lol.

I’ll 2nd the q1 and add that although it was just some numbers for the front of a house, it printed asa without issue.

Only thing I’ve ever heard of being an issue is that if it’s too cold the thermistor (I think) will throw and error and the heating bed won’t work, but nothing is broken, just might not function until in a warmer environment or using a heat gun to get the sensor above 0c or something. I don’t think you have anything to worry about for storage

It’s definitely not necessary, but it becomes very empowering when you can go from idea in your head to 3d mock-up to printed object in a matter of minutes or hours.

As far as chromium based browsers go, edge is actually one of the best. I have a portable degoogled chromium I keep locked in a vault myself, but that’s only because I ripped edge out of windows. If I wasn’t the type of person that got irrationally furious about edge running in the background using up system resources doing whatever the fuck windows was having to do, I would just use edge when I needed a chromium browser.

For real. I’ve halfway managed to displaced it with coffee but god damn red bull is go good

Bro are you me?

Yes? Machine learning has been huge for protein folding and not because anyone is stupid, it’s because it’s a task uniquely suited for machine learning, of which there are many. But none of that is what this AI bubble is really about, and even though I find the underlining math and technology fascinating, I share the disdain for how the bulk of it is currently being used.

Wait so I should just be manually folding all these proteins?

I did windows 10 ltsc for a very long time but I dropped eventually because I was tired of having issues with my video card and random unexplained crashes with vague event viewer info they no one had find reliable fixes to. Mass grave seems super nifty though, saving that link, maybe I give 11 iot a try but I’m feeling pretty burnt

I love/hate their website. It reminds me of early 00 warez sites, but, as you say and testers report, it does a good job debloating and speeding things up. I’m so fed up with windows at this point I’m not sure a slimmed down and or privacy focused windows install will cut it. I’m this close to taking the dive and going to daily driving Linux.

I like the cut of this man’s jib.

Meds I actually do alright with, mostly because I don’t function without them.
