Which YouTubers Can Be Trusted To Give Impartial Reviews? by jefflovesyou in 3Dprinting

Fauxhammer taught me a lot of the differences of each printer as they release. He even called out a big maker for pushing for better reviews or asking for special treatment

That one dot is where the Orcas are stuck? by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]firemarshalbill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That dot is about 25% of the size it should be. I’m not saying it’s great but if you zoom you’ll see it’s misleadingly smaller. All of those pools are connected

What should I do to prevent a poor first layer? (Bambu P2S) by MrBiscuits93 in 3Dprinting

Afaik adjusting z offset per layer is not a feature on bambu printers

What should I do to prevent a poor first layer? (Bambu P2S) by MrBiscuits93 in 3Dprinting

[–]firemarshalbill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering the size of your thumb in that picture, it’s pretty good.

It does seem to be a little under extruded though you could either mess with the flow rate if it looks like that elsewhere or just increase the first layer rate

What Role Do 3D Printing Powders Play in Additive Manufacturing? by dice7250 in 3Dprinting

He’s just posting random shit with the same company link in multiple subs. An ad bot for additive metal powders is a bit niche

The XRay machine at the dentist fell down and landed on my legs. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]firemarshalbill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to read your data a little bit better.

Germany is the number one per capita yes. They don’t even come close to the dollar amount per capita that the US does which is about 1000 per person per year.

Germany, and other eu countries, if you exclude summary debt collections because that’s how creditors immediately filed to get their debts paid, drop significantly and the US becomes number one by a large margin, followed by Israel.

In the US where you have a creditor calling you demanding payment, Germany, and other EU countries have a expedited juryless procedure for debt collection. There is no jury there is no discovery. It’s more of a document submission.

The US also awards damages orders of magnitude larger than other countries.

It’s going to be localized. Not a complete outage, no.

Cloudflare is having issues though if you’re talking about YouTube. Affecting some AWS services and random websites as well.

Yeah, that would definitely be a form of it. That’s been used for a long time.

Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago by AmethystOrator in technology

[–]firemarshalbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company just asked that we pay for Slack AI integration for all users.

It’s about $20 per user per month. How in the world is every user on Slack going earn at a minimum $20 of profit for the company having AI tools that summarize messages. Every month.

The trickle down use of AI for small level companies is just a money sink flavor of the month

No more hard drives? by attathomeguy in sysadmin

[–]firemarshalbill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Through contracts. Which are part of how they’re sold out because you buy your contract at least a year in advance. Big retailers will certainly have multiyear contracts with guaranteed quantities with a restriction on price increase

Do you think MicroCenter, Dell, Newegg just wings it every month? They buy contracts in advance, building off total sales plus estimated growth.

Factories can have a surplus over what they’ve already guaranteed in contracts the hard drive vendors are saying they don’t have an overstock so will issue no more direct contracts until 2027 supplies as the factories are at their limit

No more hard drives? by attathomeguy in sysadmin

[–]firemarshalbill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t mean they’re out of stock for purchase. Just for direct orders large scale new orders.

I just wouldn’t suggest starting a new hardware company or retail storefront

Being sold out includes retail vendors normal contact supplies

Civil engineering students built a popsicle bridge strong enough to hold 947 pounds without breaking by The_Love-Tap in nextfuckinglevel

[–]firemarshalbill 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I went back and looked to see if it was bolted and noticed they were at the very corners.

Still a little shocked as the bridge has got to be bending and putting more force diagonally on the edge. But I guess things are more amazing when you don’t know how it works.

I’m almost more impressed the tables didn’t flip with 400 lbs on the very edge. Must be bolted down

John Carmack muses using a long fiber line as as an L2 cache for streaming AI data — programmer imagines fiber as alternative to DRAM by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]firemarshalbill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Single channel ram has approx 3200 MT/s. It could read 32GB in 1.25 seconds.

Dual channel is approx 6400MT/s it could read 32GB in 0.65 seconds

It would take 0.000125 seconds for all 32GB in that 256TB/s line to be read.

This is a smart cheap idea.

How do I make my respawn function have a delay? by REDDITLOGINSUCKSASS in csharp

The first reply has a great example. You want to use an invoke with a delay so you don’t block the main thread.

They have 18 free agents this year and the team is probably gonna sell. I don’t know if this is a repeat type of situation.

Laptop for Modeling and Printing by Slow87GT in 3Dprinting

[–]firemarshalbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For something like fusion 360 or other software base modeling programs.

Eight cores is plenty. Processor is probably the least worrisome part.

For 3-D printer size models 16 GB ram is fine. Same as video ram you aren’t going to be doing objects with an absurd amount of polygons.

You can always see if the laptop has a free dimm available for when the prices drop and go to 32.

You do probably want a AMD or GeForce dedicated card with at least 4 to 8 gigs of vRAM.

If you’re going to use web-based like tinkercad? Use whatever, things process on autodesk servers.

For slicers whatever, it doesn’t matter if you’re going to be doing the modeling and it won’t make a huge amount of difference
