  • Mod here.

    This post got reported three times by three different individuals.

    It's 100% antithetical to the point of this whole community to post AI-generated images. Except probably to make fun of it, show good examples of it failing miserably, etc. Which isn't sufficiently the case here. And I kinda think this was posted in a way that kindof comes off as dickish. So:

    • Imma remove the post.
    • I think maybe it's a little harsh to ban the poster.
    • So we'll consider this a "first offense."
    • And maybe don't do it again, m'kay?

  • I had a dream that involved Plan 9 last night. (The operating system, that is.) I don't remember much of it except recognizing the look of the screen someone was sharing via projector as Rio.

    I wonder what Freud would think of that dream.

  • A Simple Software Change to Add "Bricklayer" Mode to Slicers Delivers Truly Water-Tight 3D Prints

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, I went and found the OrcaSlicer ticket where they're working on adding the bricklaying feature to OrcaSlicer. Seems like they're just hoping it doesn't attract Stratasys' attention.

    Even if they have to remove the feature, it'll still be in the history of the repo and it should be relatively easy to unrevert and rebuild personally on one's own computer if necessary. Until the codebase changes enough to make it harder to maintain the fork.

  • Supreme Court allows Texas to use a congressional map favorable to Republicans in 2026

    Jump

  • Oh, I didn't say I knew how to make that happen.

    Democrats when they're in power promoting places like Puerto Rico and DC into states definitely wouldn't hurt, though.

    Also, theoretically Trump getting less and less popular is probably helping its chances.

    And more awareness of the existence of the pact is definitely beneficial.

    Whether it's likely to happen even if the above all happens, who knows.

  • Stratasys still has a patent on it

    That's putting it generously, isn't it?

    This video from a year ago goes into why the patent they have today isn't valid. (Short answer: prior art. They patented it in 1995 and that expired in 2015 in the U.S. and 2016 in Europe. Then they re-patented it in 2020, which isn't really something they can do, but the patent office granted it anyway, probably unaware of the prior patent. There's kindof a "new claim" in the later patent, but there's prior art for that as well in the form of a 2019 feature request on PrusaSlicer's Github.)

    I get that Stratasys has lawyers and money and might theoretically be able to win even a case with as little merit as a patent case regarding that 2020 patent would have. But I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say they have a (valid) patent.

  • Mom wanted me to go into music performance. I went into computer science both because "holy shit how cool is that" and to get out of music performance.

    My alma mater had three computer departments: CSC/CompSci, CIS/Computer Information Systems, and Graphic Design. I've never been artistic, really, so I didn't have a lot of interest in Graphic Design. But I didn't know the difference really between CIS and CSC going into college.

    I went to the head of the CIS department to ask about the difference and he was like "CSC is about building the plane, CIS is about flying the plane." Misinterpreting that to mean CSC was about hardware and CIS was about software, I thought I wanted CIS. When I met with the CSC head, he met with me in a little lab in the CSC department. And on the shelves on the walls, there were robotic coin sorters and Lego robots and stuff. And that's basically when I realized the CSC department was my people.
