I think a light version runs in a web browser but the full version is a program.

This is the correct answer. It’s the power company’s problem. Weird accidents can happen.
- Comment on The sole purpose of language models is to lower the market value of human skills. 3 days ago:
I don’t understand the wild eyed hate for a spell checker on steroids. LLMs predict the next word like the phone keyboard you use every day.
Hate the hype, not the tool.
- Comment on The sole purpose of language models is to lower the market value of human skills. 3 days ago:
The sole purpose of all tools ever created is to lower the value of human skills.
LLM’s are hyped but have some value as a tool.
- Comment on Nvidia becomes first company to reach $4tn in market value 4 days ago:
In a competitive market, there would be no reason to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into LLMs which are unprofitable, inaccurate, and have very limited use cases.
That’s not how capitalism works at all. Companies are spending money on AI because they need to compete against other companies. In the absence of competition, companies do not spend money chasing risky new revenue streams but milk their existing base.
If there was only Microsoft, and no other software company on the planet, Microsoft would not spend money on AI because they wouldn’t need to.
A big part of Marx’s criticism of capitalism is the waste it creates through duplication of effort.
- Comment on Nvidia becomes first company to reach $4tn in market value 4 days ago:
If there were more Google/FB/Amazons there would be even more hardware purchases because there would be more companies competing to dominate AI.

If they got broken up years ago
The problem is how do you break up a design team? My experience in hardware industry is that its a very tiny team of people making doing the silicon design and then hundreds/thousands of support engineers doing support hardware (like board layout that the chips will go on), software drivers and testing.
- Comment on Nvidia becomes first company to reach $4tn in market value 5 days ago:
How could Nvidia be broken up? It’s the same GPU silicon being sold for gaming and AI. Gaming doesn’t even matter to them so if you broke out gaming, they’d still be a monopoly.
Imo, it wouldn’t be a problem if they were taxed. The value they generate would go back to the people.

Wow! That’s a fantastic price!
A workhorse is: take my money and shut up
It doesn’t have to be one or the other! It can and does work out of the box without being a proprietary ecosystem. It’s not just Anycubic. You can use a Prusa, Flashforge, Qidi, etc as a workhorse without a proprietary ecosystem.

You don’t use search? Like you don’t use duckduckgo or anything?
- Comment on best print farm 3d-printer for PETG? 5 days ago:
The Anycubic has presets for .4 and .6 in brass or hardened steel. It’s only missing .2.
I couldn’t care less. Drying is done in an oven.
You can’t claim the S1 is incomplete for not having a .2 nozzle presets and then turn around and say that a built in filament dryer doesn’t matter when Bambu made it a pro feature. Especially when .4 is what you get out of the box from Bambu and .2 requires modifying your printer by swapping the hot end.
Bought the P1S combo (AMS 1) for 636
Where? I see 800€ everywhere.
And where I go after Bambu is what you didn’t mention: locked down firmware and no alternative slicer.
- Comment on best print farm 3d-printer for PETG? 6 days ago:
It’s more about the general thing that they are not finished products. At least not to the extent the Bambu are.
That’s like saying a Toyota isn’t a finished product compared to a BMW. The Anycubic works and isn’t locked down to their cloud service. You can even install open source firmware. The S1 AMS does filament drying that the p1S doesn’t do without the pro AMS.
I agree that Anycubic should sell nozzles but 3rd party nozzles are available.
Like I said there’s a temporary sale that makes the P1S a great value. The S1 is not $50-$100 cheaper. It was $1000 vs $650. Now it’s $700 vs $450.
- Comment on best print farm 3d-printer for PETG? 6 days ago:
This is exactly why.
To be fair, the internet is full of complaints that the P1S has problems with layer 1 too.
Before the current P1S sale it was $600 for a Anycubic with ams vs $1000 for a P1S with AMS. But what got me to get the Anycubic was they haven’t locked users out of Orca slicer and forced cloud like Bambu. Anycubic has cloud features if you want it but you aren’t forced.

Like a landlord is going to fix your clogged drain anytime soon. They’re not your mom, they’re a business. You’ll be lucky if a plumber comes out in a couple of weeks.
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 1 week ago:
Just textured. I don’t have a smooth plate.
- Comment on best print farm 3d-printer for PETG? 1 week ago:
I have an Anycubic S1 combo. Enclosed, AMS, networked, hackable (Rinkhals kliipper) . 700 hours on it and it’s been fine. Layer 1 isn’t absolutely perfect across the entire bed but as long as you aren’t mass printing coasters with layer 1 designs, you won’t notice. It’s never been enough of an issue for me to bother tweaking the defaults.
But if this for a business, you should probably cave and get a P1S.
- Comment on Tips for TPU? 1 week ago:
I have been printing a lot of tpu the past few weeks. I’ve been using magigoo glue stick. I have no idea if it’s the best because it was a random YouTuber recommendation. But it’s been working.
I’ve been using Anycubic TPU 95, Esun foaming TPU, and Variosure foaming TPU on textured pei plate.

- Comment on Google Introduced a New Way to Use Search. Proceed With Caution. 1 week ago:
“A traditional Google search is still best for the simple act of looking for things to do nearby, but AI Mode could prove to be a nifty tool for more tedious tasks like product research for online shopping — an instant chart comparing baby car seats is helpful, even if imperfect. Just always check the answers.”
Exactly experience. I don’t understand people who go to chatgpt first.
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 1 week ago:
enshitify before the IPO
I always see it after. Because then the suits take over and it becomes a mandate to increase profits quarterly for the share holders. IPOs want to show happy users to sell the idea of future revenue from milking those users.

Yeah. It can be set on or off as default when CC is activated.

You absolutely can judge your own behavior when you are impaired
By the time you realized it you were already impaired. That’s why professional drivers have a schedule. It’s not up to them to decide for themselves that they could go longer.
- Comment on ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing 1 week ago:
I have a Toyota with lane assist and it doesn’t. The “lane assist” is part of cruise control. It’s off by default.
I love it because it removes a little of the mental load giving me more time to scan the road for potential problems.
- Comment on ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing 1 week ago:
That’s easier said than done. You can’t judge your own behavior when impaired because you are impaired. By the time you are aware you are that tired, you’ve already been impaired for a long time.

- Comment on Review for Retroid Pocket Mini V2 1 week ago:
tbh it’s really not worth all the hype unless you want to take the 100-300 hours to set it up properly and ensure all the boxart is there.
So Rocknix isn’t as developed like Emuelec and all the other Linux gaming front ends? Because fixing boxart was one of the huge hassles on the Retroid 3+. The Retroid front end got 90% of the art but fixing that last 10% took hours. In comparison my Anbernic and Miyoo Mini were perfect. And customizing it was trivial because I could stick the SD card in my PC and move the files around. The Retroid front end didn’t let you do that. The other hassle was some of the emulators on the Retroid had their own menus so entering and exiting games wasn’t a single button push like Linux emulators.
- Comment on Review for Retroid Pocket Mini V2 1 week ago:
Have you tried Rocknix on this Retroid? I have a Retroid 3 but I never use it because Android is bad at being a handheld gaming device. (Boot is slow and just letting it sleep means it’s dead in 3 days.)
I love Retroid hardware so I’m intrigued that it says you can run Linux.

When I’d get stuff, I’d always offer it to the employees first. My employees used to encourage vendors to show up to get free stuff. I’d let them get whatever they could. One employee got free night vision goggles.
