  • But it doesn't explain it. It is a graph of the equation. But that doesn't explain the equation. That's why I gave the parabola example.

    Showing a graphical form of the equation is still only the question but in another format. That's what makes it circular. If you ask why something is Y = X2 and I only show you a graph of Y = X2, that's not answer. It's the question in a graphical format.

  • I kind of despise the time cone answer because it doesn't actually answer the question. It transforms the question into a picture and uses the picture as the answer which is circular logic.

    "Why do thrown objects fall in a parabola?"

    "See here's a graph of a equation. If the object is outside the graph it's not on the parabola and that's why thrown objects fall in a parabola shape."

  • But I’ve never been able to grasp exactly why it would break causality.

    It's what I might call inferred logic. It's not that traveling faster than light "breaks causality" it's that light is observed to be constant in all reference frames. From that observation you build a system of motion which requires that nothing can travel faster than light. In that mathematical system, if you break that rule then the math says that you must go backwards in time to go faster than light.

    So the "causality" is a side effect of the math system you created based around the rule that light is constant in all reference systems.

    It's like if you created a math system where you observed A=1 and let B=1 and state that A+B=2. Then someone says but what if A+B = -1. Your reply would be that means B = -2 because we observed A = 1 and B can be anything so if we add A + B and get -1 B must be -2. If B represented time you'd say, "Well that means you have negative time!" But it's just the math and if you give physically impossible inputs you get physically impossible outputs.

  • The bot must be upvoting itself because yet again it listed a bunch of random abbreviations that aren't in the thread at all.

    Someone claimed it's not ai slop but a bot with GitHub code but that code doesn't produce this result.

  • I have no idea what you are using to browse Lemmy because the only notification I get is a number next to my profile icon in web browser or Thunder. And that's often delayed by several days so I frequently look through my own old posts to find replies because don't get reliable notifications.

  • Communists understand the difference between private property and personal property.

    He didn't screw anyone over. The non ai version is still there. Demanding that he change what he has written into a form that you find acceptable is as silly as my demanding that you write a reply that agrees with me.

  • It would have been possible for the developer to turn over mainline rsync

    It's his code. There is no mainline rsync. Whatever the community picks is mainline. When people didn't like where MySQL was going, they forked and made MariaDB the "mainline".

    If people keep downloading his rsync and not another, that's their choice. We might not like it but you can't force people to use the software you prefer.

  • You're so self-righteous

    No need for insults.

    what compels the carpenter to make it to your specifications? Even if you paid him? Nothing.

    Violating a contract has penalties. Yes he can ignore it and then give your money back with the potential of being required to give extra money back because of the contract violation.

    The trouble is, you insist on framing this in terms of the carpenter's rights.

    It wasn't my analogy. I'm working with what you gave me.

    disputing his rights.

    Demanding he work for free is disputing his rights.

  • but all proprietary and as locked down as possible hatdware-wise.

    There's no DRM in the hardware. It isn't locked down at all. There are 3rd party hotends already. Not even Prusa has open source hardware now.

    I am fairly confident they will follow a similar path even though they have made some software source - available.

    They have released all firmware source code. So it doesn't matter what they do in the future. You have control over your hardware for forever.

  • But expecting every hobbyist to serve my needs for free just because I don't have their skill sets would be insane.

    I think this mindset shows up often on the Internet because many posters are children. It is normal for them to be given an assignment and have to complete it without compensation. So they think that's how the world works.

  • Yes. That's how everything works. If you don't know how to build a shelf by yourself or don't have the time, you pay a carpenter to do what you want.

    It's now the carpenter's problem to make the shelf with the specifications that you gave him.

  • It's still his bridge in his yard even if he had been letting everyone use it.

    It's not his problem. He's handing out free bridges to everyone. But people want him to build his bridge their way and keep using his bridge.

    If he wants to ruin his personal project, that's his right.
