I mean - any excuse for a party, I guess. But unlike Christmas, this is not nearly as culturally as important. No reason to break the tradition, but also - it's not super important, it's not even a holiday. I for one would be happy to switch to the new calendar for Christmas, like Greeks and Romanians. Currently, only Serbia and Russia of the Orthodox churches celebrate by old calendar.
AFAIK there is no reason why vst companies wouldn't produce linux builds, vst has been opened for Linux for a long time now, they just need to port it. iLok should also be possible, though I personally hate it, but I'm not a pro.
I feel like - even if legit, it's unlikely the production can scale to any meaningful level in at least 5 years. They claim they're releasing the bike this year with the battery. This means they have a small scale production almost ready, as bikes are fairly low volume. If true, at least, we'll see the technology.
Ooof, did not know about this. I held Louis to high regard for his work and this somewhat mars his reputation. I will from now on be cautious about Louis Rosmann, though I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, provided he is more careful in the future. He's always been a bit of an abrasive character, which is not always bad, but he needs to be held accountable, like everybody else.
Yes, but you don't want to lock yourself in an echo chamber either. You want to be as close to reality as possible, at least I do. Though I realize that a niche federated internet community is a bad place for that. But this is the reason I don't block communities. I used to be on lemm.ee for that reason, but it got shut down. I have no problem reading communist propaganda and deciding for myself if it's garbage. But I have problem with censorship. Though bullying and abuse is where I draw the line. But what I see is even without algorithm based feeds, people are still polarized. Possibly because, like me, people with moderate views tend to not comment or engage, while polar opposite groups want you to firmly choose sides and denounce the other side or else you are garbage. In summary, I think it's depressing because reality is currently depressing. But it's unrealistic to just pretend everything is just fine and be happy.
I think in his particular case, this works, as he uses pla-gf or pla-cf, but in general, I doubt this technique works for any old filament, perhaps for Pla, and i doubt for petg.
Freecad is horrible in terms of ux, but otherwise very powerful and worth the time investment, IMO. Keep at it, I think it will pay off for you in the long run.
This is true. However, the issue is we keep oscillating between AI is useless and over hyped; and it will solve all of life's problems and you should not call it slop out of respect. The truth is somewhere in between, but we need to fight for it to find it.
Definitely. Or possibly AI will become vastly superior to developers and will require no supervision. In that case, the whole paradigm changes and I don't know how the software development will look like then. But these are definitely still early days of AI software development, we have a lot to figure out.
The real slowdown comes after when you realize you don't understand your own codebase because you relied too much on AI. To understand it well enough requires discipline, which in the current IT world is lacking anyway. Either you can rely entirely on AI or you need to monitor its every action, in which case you may be better off writing yourself. But this hybrid approach I don't think will pan out particularly well.
Layer time, most likely. You can avoid it by setting minimum layer time higher. When the curvy part is being printed, it takes longer for that layer, so it gets to cool down more before the next layer, in contrast to still being a bit hot before the next layer if the layer time is short. This causes unevenness in the looks a bit. You may also decrease the effect by lowering the printing temperature, but I would not recommend it. Also, part cooling fan can have an effect as well.
Also, white color is the worst for troubleshooting, literally any other color would do better. But even from that, I see your overhangs are drooping, suggesting too big temperature, over extrusion or no part cooling. Edit: corners also look overly rounded, so pressure advance is likely very off, too.
This looks to me like your part cooling fan is not turning on or pid calibration of the hotend is not good. Also may be over/under extrusion. You may need to go through calibration steps for your printer. It's likely the firmware update cleared the calibration. There are many sites that will walk you through it, but I frequently use Teaching tech's website: teachingtechyt.github.io
It is a very broad topic, you didn't specify what kind of a drawing program you'd want to make. If it's a simple raster drawing, like mspaint used to be, it is not that complicated to make. But complexity quickly adds up - filters, transforms, brushes, layers - it grows in complexity quickly. The easiest GUI in rust I found so far is egui. It provides an immediate mode for drawing graphics that is really simple to grasp very quickly. If it is the best in the long run is questionable, but to get your feet wet - I'd say is perfect
