  • Im personally very satisfied with the Mars series from Elegoo. Got the old Elegoo Mars (1) Pro, but thinking of an upgrade soon for slightly bigger print space.

    Build volume is usually around 60x60x180mm and up to double that for the bigger ones.

    Printing procedure goes: supporting and slicing (supports vary greatly from FDA printers, you make a few strategic "fingers" instead of low-fill platforms), printing, cleaning (in a separate alcoholic bath), and curing (in a separate curing box).

    Some printers can do both printing and curing, though I have no experience with those.

    Also, be aware that resin plays a big role, and that different types of resin need different settings for different printers. I'm personally very fond of the eSun resin from fepshop.com.

    At last, please don't put your resin printer anywhere near your living room or any closed room inside your house for that matter. Even if it has filters, the garage is a great place to put it. But this comes with a problem, as the printer needs a stable, ~25°C temperature, which you usually don't have in the garage. I've built myself a "hotbox" for this purpose. The hotbox also shields for sunlight when doors are open, so you don't have to worry when entering or leaving the garage. Just make sure to shade all doors and windows when opening the printer. And don't forget masks and rubber gloves.

  • Similar goes for picky eating. Few things are tasty by default, but most tastes are acquired by repeated exposure to new cuisine.

    I'm still getting used to clams, snails, slugs, and calamari. Went from gag reflex and unable to swallow to capable of eating but not savouring in a few months time.

    And again with fears, it's not that dark voids have become less dangerous or fearful, it's just that I have checked enough voids to not be immediately alarmed.

  • Yes. I wrote my masters in engineering about MLAI (before chatgpt and YOLO became popular and viable), and am also currently working with multi-object detection and tracking using MLAI.

    It's not gonna be like the invention of the modern computer, but it's probably gonna reach about the same level as Google, or the electronic typing machine.

  • Minecraft is grand! But I got kinda stumped when Microsoft bought Mojang back around update 1.8. 0, and instantly tried to screw up all the modders.

    Some of the mods have come back, and many new created, but it just doesn't feel the same to me. :(

  • I had a funny experience not too long ago. Not sure what to make of it, and it might have been a freak coincidence.

    A few friends and I were talking on discord, with one friend streaming his Steam discovery queue, not sure what game to play next. At some point we started talking about 2-D platformers, and after some time one of us pointed out how it seemed that we were seeing more platformens than before. One thing led to another, and we started screwing around talking about NSFW content. About 3-5 recommendations later, that one friend started getting porn game recommendations, and not long after about half of the games recommended were 18+ and kinda stayed that way.

    Obviously correlation does not prove causation, and it might have been a myriad of reasons such as him playing a trick on us, but I might be interested in knowing what Discord REALLY does with all this data it has access to.

  • There were a lot of problems getting proton to work on NTFS, but that's only because the COMPATDATA directory must not be located on NTFS. Worked fine the moment you symlinked COMPATDATA to your ext4 drive.

    There was a time, where this problem got discussed almost weekly on reddit.

  • There was a big influx of new users from Reddit in June. Many of those probably made an account to check out Lemmy, but somehow lost interest. Lemmy user count will most likely stabilize in a month or two.

  • And that is really sad. In the early days, I disabled my ad blocker for Youtube, as I tend to do with the websites I enjoy, but evidently I've had to re-enable it since to keep my sanity.

    As so many others, I don't have a problem with passive or "docile" ads, but I do have a vendetta against intrusive anti-user experiences, which has led me to block ads and other kinds of annoyances /intrusions per default.

    The whole "need for more aggressive ads as result of adblockers" is a self fulfilling prophecy.

  • Youtube, before Google bought it, was pretty nice. A little ad taking up a square in the upper right corner, just above recommended videos, and I think that was about it. Nowadays it's completely impossible to watch YouTube without ad blockers or premium subscription.

  • It's a nightmare. They have those mobile compressors instead. How am I supposed to get to the next mechanic if I have to use the compressor for every 2km? And then they have this puncture safe paste that the compressor can mix in, which turns a 10$ repair into a 200$ repair.

    It's insanity! And using the compressor takes even longer than just changing the wheel!

  • But it does hold water. The original image might not be contained within the model, but the fact that it was trained on stolen data makes it problematic. Even if humans do the same, an AI model is not a human but a product, and therefore needs to adhere to different rules.
