  • I guess Lemmy would like these beans

  • Put it in a pair of jeans and you have captured the very essence of Lemmy in a single image.

  • Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated article summaries to Wikipedia

    Jump

  • It might, possibly, be a viable use case if the LLM produced the summary for an editor, who then confirmed it's veracity and appropriateness to the article and posted it themselves.

  • Right, that's it, we're removing the network and power connections too.

    To be fair, I've had my share of foul ups on remote servers too, but I have noone to complain to but myself about that.

  • Robot is 3D-printed upside-down in one piece, then walks out of the printer

    Jump

  • I'd be interested to see if this upside down printing technique would work with other filaments as it sounds like it could be the answer for printing overhangs on smaller models at least. I can see bigger models coming unstuck from the bed being a major downside though.

  • I mean, if you're not using LFS, are you really using linux at all?

  • The perfect user interface

    Jump

  • To be fair, it would slightly reduce the xhance of the user really messing it up. If they remove the screen too we might finally have a user-proof computer. No more "I've forgotten my password", no more "I put the internet in the trash can and now I can't find it", and no more "I didn't do anything (they absolutely did) and now it doesn't work, this must be your fault. (As the local 'techie' it's not my fault, but it probably is my problem). Fix it!! (sigh...)"

  • Do you actually audit open source projects you download?

    Jump

  • I'm unlikely to do a full code audit, unless something about it doesn't pass the 'sniff test'. I will often go over the main code flows, the issue tracker, mailing lists and comments, positive or negative, from users on other forums.

    I mean, if you're not doing that, what are you doing, just installing it and using it??!? Where's the fun in that? (I mean this at least semi seriously, you learn a lot about the software you're running if you put in some effort to learn about it)

  • We are way overdue for an open source 2d printer

    Jump

  • They are, but by definition, the printer can print them. If your on linux or Mac it looks like it might be possible to write a filter to add to CUPS that would do it for every print.

  • Black and white printers can't do that, but as I mentioned in another comnent, if you do have a color printer, add lots of yellow dots before you print it out.

  • If you've got a printer that does that, add lots of yellow dots to your document before printing it.

  • No, I don't have anything of that sort. Feel free to ask here if you'd like, but I'm just using the information I can find on the web.

  • Oh, I know. The trouble is my brain keeps trying to flip to match the peas, then back for the rest of the image. It's just subtly wrong enough that it isn't absurd until you focus on it.

  • I'm only going to do this very roughly, only for the transport and using US prices (as they're easier to find), because the total cost of mining, transporting and dumping that much material is astronomical compared to the $70m budget. Even the transport cost alone are an order of magnitude higher.

    Soil has a density of between 1,200 and 1,700 kilograms or 2,645 and 3,747 pounds per cubic metre.

    I couldn't easily find bulk rates for trunking soil, but bulk trucking rates for grain seem to be in the right area from what I can see. A truckload of up to 80,000lb costs somewhat over $6 per mile.

    Given the weight limit per truck, and taking a middling estimate of soil density of 3000lb/m3 (rock would be heavier and so increase the cost), we can transport around 80000/3000=26m3 per truck, at a cost of at least 615=$90, or $3.46 per m^3. Our budget for the whole operation was 75,000,000/(3,500,000100)=$0.20 per m^3.

    From those figures we can see that simply trucking the spoil fron the operation would be more than 15 times the cost of paying the landowners. That ignores all of the other costs. Local rates may be sonewhat cheaper, but probably not enough to make a serious difference, and you'd need to ship over 10 million truckloads of dirt, which would put massive strain on local infrastructure too.

  • If I read your measurements correctly, you're talking about digging up over 350 million cubic metres of soil and rock, transporting them 15km and dumping them safely. Comparing that to the cost of paying the land owners gives you a budget of approximately $0.20 per cubic metre. Ignoring the digging costs, you'd have to check what your local rates for trucking bulk soil would be over that distance, but I suspect they're more than that on their own.

    Then you have the rather signicicant issue of what to do with the literal mountain of soil and rock you need to dispose of. Just dumping it is going to cause pretty serious changes to the local environment, not least of which would be a new mountain.
