I'm super happy with my formbot Marathon IDEX, works perfectly fine with TPU (though i did have to adjust one screw guide in the extruder so it doesn't eat the filament). it's not very well known, since they don't hand them out to influencers etc. The discord is pretty active and lots of helpful people there.

made with all standard components, regular Klipper firmware, so i know i can replace parts if anything ever breaks.

And IDEX in mirror/copy mode for printing multiple parts at twice the speed is great when you need it.

Selling fewer explosive vehicles seems like a good idea tbh.

While I agree it is overvalued, what really put it into perspective for me is that all of the known gold in the world would fit into a cube with a side length of 20-25m.

So a fair price would be lower than what it is now, but it is scarce and its uses (corrosion resistance, conductivity, malleability, reflectivity, etc.) probably would still warrant a relatively high price.

I wonder a bit in how far the opposite is the plan. Like Klarna recently firing support staff for AI and then wanting to hire them back, but as gig workers.

A company laying off thousands of engineers wont be nice for the stock. Saying you're doing it because you'll replace them with awesome AI might even pump the stock and is an easy excuse.

if you can the hire them back cheaper later because the job market is shit because many devs lost their job, even better.

It just reminds of this case from the 30s where a factory owner replaced skilled workers that wanted to unionize with machines and unskilled workers. The quality was worse and they produced less in a given time, and the machines were scrapped 3 years later. But it stopped unionization dead in its tracks and skilled workers got lower salaries afterward, so it all worked out even though the machines were strictly worse.

It also allows you to boost/deprioritize/ban domains from your searches. Not seeing pinterest show up ever again is great

I mean, they helpfully provide ranking lists. Start at #1 and work your way down

Actually, having like a 10ml can of iranian crude oil as a conversation piece would be fun.especially if it comes in a mini barrell that just says 'Iranian Oil' on it, maybe with an added 'Warning: May cause sanctions if used incorrectly' label

sort of. Having a system that allows multiple parties, like in many European countries, certainly helps with representation and discourse. But looking at Europe, it certainly doesn't prevent a right-wing drift towards authoritarianism. There's sooo many other things needed for a healthy democracy, like education/literacy, strong independent institutions, unions etc.

You can just end up with two right wing parties, an extreme and a moderate one, but the moderate one catering to the extreme positions of the extreme party (and being mostly moderate in name only), and both of them forming a majority government and drifting to authoritarianism, even if there are many parties.

After ther recent acqusition and firing of a lot of staff, it might not be the best alternative

Edit: article with more details can't find a non paywalled version and not really any other pages that discuss the firing, just the acquisition

A proper (CNC) milling machine and lathe, like ones you can work hardened steel with. Lots of better things you could buy for that money, but with a mill and lathe i could make those things for even more money!

Edit: oh and a proper garage/hobby room to put them in

Actually, as to your edit, the it sounds like you're fine-tuning the model for your data, not training it from scratch. So the llm has seen english and chinese before during the initial training. Also, they represent words as vectors and what usually happens is that similiar words' vectors are close together. So subtituting e.g. Dad for Papa looks almost the same to an llm. Same across languages. But that's not understanding, that's behavior that way simpler models also have.
