  • AOC trolls Trump, accuses him of falling asleep at Knicks game

  • Journalists using soft language when discussing blatant reality bugs the shit out of me.

    In a video shared by the congresswoman, Trump appeared to be shutting his eyes for a period of time while sitting in his seat at the game.

    Just say he was sleeping. I get they do it to avoid libel lawsuits. But fuck it. It's USA Today. Make him sue you and take you to court.

  • How could you not believe in the scientific method? Propose a hypothesis, test for hypothesis, confirm or review your hypothesis, repeat.

    Saying you don't believe in that basically is the same as stating you're dumb as hell and don't believe in proving ideas.

  • The destruction of 3D printing: Bloomberg is behind it

    Jump

  • TLDW; billionaire Michael Bloomberg is behind multiple laws in mostly blue states to require spyware be added to all 3D printers under the banner of "gun control".

    He's attempted to hide this as a grassroots effort, when in reality it's nearly completely funded by him and his organizations. There's a call to action to contact your representatives if that legislation is being proposed in your state and voice your opposition to letting billionaires control what you can and cannot 3d print.

  • Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss

  • I think oil and gas companies are responsible for a lot of that misunderstanding though. For example, you think the average person would be concerned about how heavy EVs are without someone pushing that narrative?

  • Can confirm. Bought one, loved it, so bought another. Would never consider going back.

  • Yeah I feel like hybrids are a terrible solution from an ownership perspective. You still have to get gas and do maintenance on a gas engine and all that comes with it. All so you can maybe road trip with a little less range anxiety once a year?

  • California Passes Backdoor Bill to Control the 3D Printing Hobby and Spy on Small Designers, Prototypers, and Hobbyists

    Jump

  • Yeah exactly. They're effectively banning 3d printing.

  • Lol I was just talking to my wife about that yesterday and how it's exactly like AI.

    If you read something in the newspaper about your job, you're like "these fucking idiots got this all backwards." If you see AI output of an attempt at your job, it's the same thing.

    But if you read an article about someone else's job, you think "that makes sense." Same about seeing AI trying to do someone else's job.

  • I'm neither very experienced with firearms nor printing

    Unfortunately that's the crux of the issue. The people who have written and signed this bill aren't either - and they weren't as big of a person as you to recognize that.

    At the end of the day, 3D printing gcode is telling your printer to spit out a shape. And you simply cannot ban shapes. Am I printing a firing pin or a part for my shoe rack? There's no way to tell. Any politician that's telling you there is is either ignorant or lying to you.

  • Your faith in this mystery algorithm is stronger than mine. Here's a diagram of the parts in an AR-15:

    So we need an algorithm that renders the gcode I'm printing, then compares it to... something?

  • Under the proposal, printers would have to evaluate STL files, CAD files, or other geometric code using a firearm blueprint detection algorithm and block files flagged as capable of producing a firearm or illegal firearm parts, including conversion devices.

    California's Department of Justice, or another relevant state agency, would have until January 1, 2028, to publish performance standards for detection algorithms and software control processes.

    This is the problem when lawmakers write technical bills without speaking to technical people. They're going to publish standards for evaluating if your gcode is a firearm or firearm part? THAT'S FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE

  • Amazon's primary revenue driver is selling the top spots in their search results. So it's no surprise that when you search for something, you almost never see what you're looking for. They have literally created a system that intentionally shows you what you're NOT looking for in order for them to make a profit.
