My local maker space only has fdm. Formlabs claims to have a new line of healthier resins which can be used on non formlabs printers, which had made me curious again about resin.

Thank you. I didn't know that worked.

The chapter house look amazing. I look forward to what the library would look like.

I'm unclear what the open source version from China of a resin printer is. Creatlity and Elegoo don't appear to be at all it as they lock you to the chitubox ecosystem.

What are the open-platform alternatives? I was under the impression that the majority of printers used the CHITUBOX hardware platform internally, which was now locked to the CHITUBOX slicer. Has this changed? That would be wonderful news.

I don't think that Formlabs locks you into their wash and cure stations. Some of their printers lock you into their resin, but it looks like the Form Studio 1 discussed above and the Form 3, 3L, 4, and 4L let you use resin of your choice, although the Studio 1 does require you to buy a special $80 tray.

I think that is more for space/budget reasons than really being a preferred way to work. One thing is handy for is being able to carve something in place though. I saw someone use it to do inlays in the middle of a large plank tabletop that would have required a truly huge CNC machine to be able to hold the plank.

What is the evidence of that? I ask, so that it can be identified on other projects.

What is compelling about Eiffel? Serious question.

The video editing software in the video is SGO Jaleo. I've read about its existence, but I don't think I've ever been able to find a demo of someone using it before, so that was really cool to see. With regard to how the video was captured, there was a Firewire card option for the O2. I believe a number of cheap cards were compatible with the official one. I suspect it would have made capturing harder, not easier, given that they had a VTR with SDI output though.

That was Motif but not CDE. Maybe you were making a statement not directly about the video, I'm not certain. Irix called it the Irix Interactive Desktop.

I did like it. I still do, visually. I don't think I would want to go back to it full time.

I can't get past the paywall, so I don't know exactly what factors this article cites, but usually people cite stress from under-staffing and being over-worked and for hospital workers a rise in workplace violence. For nurses subjected to gig work systems, there is probably also a lot of career uncertainty.

So, I'd propose that the first line of fixes would be: Staff more; Refuse to use nursing gig-work systems; Make health care, especially preventative health care, affordable.

Today, Bitwarden works as the FLOSS extension client/app. Next year, maybe Bitwarden won't be, but we will still have the source for today's code which can be forked and carried forward. I like to think there are enough users behind Bitwarden that a fork would likely work out if it came to that. For that reason I'm not jumping ship yet.

Here are a few things I do: Host static content behind nginx Run filestash as a partial GoogleDrive replacement (I use it for sharing files with other people, like deliverables), files place on an S3 compatible object store. Run vaultwarder for myself and some family members. Run a container registry service backed by an s3 compatible object store. Run a django web application I wrote for my own use. However, it stores to postgresql running in a different VPS. Run caddy for ssl termination and reverse proxying the other services running here. Redis (I forget if that was for filestash or the container registry, but can be configured to be very light weight).

All of those are in different containers running through podman.

What is she doing next to you?

qBittorrent is still on SF and seems to be more popular in terms of downloads over the prior week, and also looks after with a release earlier this month.

Skipping past two projects that consist of repackaging existing projects, or a corporate project that I suspect uses SF only for distribution, the next large community project is CrystalDiskInfo, with a release earlier this summer.

Apache OpenOffice is still popular, but doesn't look particularly active.

Then we have KePass followed by Ventoy.

Even when they are active projects, and maybe not even all that old, they feel like they have a vintage feel to them. Part of me wonders if it is using SF that makes it feel that way, but when I look at the home pages for some of these projects that have their home page off SF, they still have that vintage/old school feel.

The GPUs might care quite a bit about bifurcation. The RTX Pro 6000s can communicate directly between themselves over PCIe 5.0 16x and saturate the bus doing so. This is used when doing tensor parallel LLM execution for the All-Reduce steps.

Someone can work around this by including a PCIe 5.0 switch like the Broadcom PEX89048. That switch can be used to, for instance, have the two GPUs talk to each other at full PCIe 5.0 16x speeds, while talking to the motherboard at say PCIe 4.0 16x, or even 8x. As an end user, cards using that switch seem to be an AliExpress only item, but I assume an OEM like System76 could get their hands on it to place directly on the motherboard. I imagine the price of adding that to a motherboard could be less than the price of switching to a Threadripper or Xeon 600 platform.

However, I can't find any evidence that System76 has added a switch, and in fact they refer to x8/x8 multi-GPU support, making me think they didn't add a switch. To my mind, this isn't a very satisfactory setup.

I view the agent integration (bearing in mind I haven't tried it yet) as an easier way to replace writing python scripts to do repetitive tasks, for people doing particularly repetitive work. A macro recorder might be more optimal to the anti-AI crowd, but this is probably easier to implement for the developers, while being more flexible for the end users.

I assume that this can be connected to local models, not just cloud models.

Or maybe that it should be replaced in the browser with something better as well?

I believe it can be broken down to 200GbE and 100GbE though. It is too bad that it can't route to the management ports for a 10GbE outgoing connection (or maybe it can and I wasn't paying enough attention).

I can see a few uses for this: 1) cluster 4x GB10 machines 2) Connect a small group of video editors via 100GbE to a NVMe file server. 3) Overkill home office network, just because.

So far that does work super well with mobile, at least not for me.

Yes, I certainly wouldn't have just skipped past ADS not working. Since samba and zfs support it, this is weird that Ubiquiti wouldn't. If this isn't just a config problem, I would call it cause to return the device.

I believe that Ubiquiti advertises that they use zfs.

This support Windows and macOS in addition to Linux. I'm not in a hurry to disrupt things on my Linux machine, but I might just have to try this on the other platforms.

While it does look extremely likely that AI is used for the copy writing, and probably for some of the code maintenance, I'm not convinced that this is being vibe coded.

By my calculation using what I can find of 2019 pricing, a more reasonable solution would have been: Synology RackStation RS1219+ - $1,200 8x Ironwolf Pro 12TB drives - 8x $450 = $3600 so for a usable RAID-6 capacity of 65TB about $4800 + OSS, or double that if they have two locations they could and replicate between them.

I know there would be cheaper hardware options available (I'm partial to older surplus enterprise hardware myself) but it isn't particularly reasonable to expect a small business to choose a more DIY (at least in terms of software configuration) option. You could step down to 10TB drives, but it seems unlikely they would have wanted to risk that not being quite enough.

On top of that, since 2019 is 7 years ago, it is reasonable to expect they would have had a hardware refresh at some point, I would think 5 years would be more reasonable than 3 year for something like this. At that point, the nas would be more ($1300) but the drives would be less (8 * $300), so add either another $3700 (double if both are replaced, but maybe they figured the offsite backup could be stretched even longer than 5 years)

So, rather than $2500, it would probably have been more like $8500 + OSS or $13,300 without OSS. Still that would have meant a proper are archive and a proper backup and they wouldn't be in this mess, so I completely agree with you about what they should have done, but think you were underselling the price a good bit.

I think most people would find that two or three definition is all they really need. 1080p h264 at high bit rate for compatibility on the local network and low bit rate 1080p for streaming remotely or to save space in local downloads for a trip.

It would be cool if you could set custom header, sub header, and body text examples, then with some pre-filtering beable to hit randomize to find interesting pairings.

The Geforce GTX 1060 launched 10 years ago with a MSRP of $249. It spend 5 years and 4 months as the #1 card according to the Steam Hardware Survey. That makes it hard to feel that it is fair to accuse it of still being better than what most people have access to, unless you are asserting that most people have access to no GPU at all, which is likely accurate, but not likely to be accurate here, nor in any sort of enthusiast circumstance. If you lump the Intel Xe built in graphics (started with the 11th gen Core Is) and the Intel UHD (launched with 8th gen Core Is) together, the combined group would come in 6th place, with the 5 places above that in commonness for people who are actively playing steam games all being considerably faster than the Geforce GTX 1060 or Geforce GTX 1660 cards.

Interestingly, now the #1 GPU is the GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile version, which I believe is the first time the top has been a laptop chip instead of desktop chip.Items #2 and #3 on the list are the 2 generation old RTX 3060, followed by the 1 generation newer RTX 4060. 4th and 5th are RTX 5070 and RTX 3050.

Saying 10yo 6GB will make most people think you are talking about a Geforce GTX 1060.

In the US, something like 39% of the population lives in an urban environment with a population of 50,000 or larger. That means 61% live in smaller areas. In my city of approximately 55,000, it is hard to make do with not leaving the to go to surrounding towns and that almost always means speeds of 45-55mph.

I'm a little unclear on what cities in the US are large enough that most people wouldn't need a vehicle that can go faster (for the sake of being allowed on the needed roads), and yet would be a city where enough people would want their own car for use inside of the city instead of relying on foot/public transport.

I think that most likely a successful city car in the US would still need to be able to do a minimum of 45mph, and I could see arguments for 60mph or 70mph as the minimum instead. I could see getting away with all the driving I do in a typical month with something that couldn't do more than 45 though. 19mph is too slow for my typical week, unless it took the form of a cargo bike.

What was your reaction to the CD then?
