Tons of the reasons given for why congress can do things don’t really make sense, like civil rights amendments were defended with the reasoning that congress can regulate interstate commerce, and segregation affects interstate commerce. IMO that doesn’t make sense, but everyone goes along with it because these regulations are obviously good. If we had a good constitution, we wouldn’t need to make these weird excuses to do things that are clearly necessary for the public wellbeing, but unfortunately we don’t, so we have to make do and have any decision we make be randomly struck down by the courts when they decide they don’t like it anymore.

I haven’t used ondsel myself but can’t you configure modernui to look similar?

I think if you install enough plugins you can get that similar experience from freecad

Language is always going to change over time. There’s not much anyone can do about it, whether they like it or not. And if you understand what is being said, does it really matter? There have been language mistakes that have slowly been formalized into written language in the past, and I’m sure that will continue into the future.

IMO writing is only really ‘wrong’ if it doesn’t convey the intended meaning or tone (which I’m sure happens a fair amount as well)

the idea is that god created semi-hairless primates intentionally to look similar to him. IDK how that is supposed to fit in with our knowledge of natural history, it’s weird to me that people who understand evolution can still think “well some of this is obviously wrong, but perhaps these completely unprovable parts (that seem to rely on the other parts) are right?”

The CE switched to a newer revision from 2001, and nspire uses a custom arm cpu

The ti-84 is actually using a version of a processor from the 70s

Are there still no 3rd party controllers? It seems like controllers like the quest pro has (that can track themselves) would be an easy match. I guess meta is spending millions on development though, so it’s probably not something easily made by a small company.

I would think Bluetooth should provide enough bandwidth, but IDK if apple’s OS is configurable enough to support something like that.

Yeah, I think it could be useful for CAD or 3D art (with proper software) but I can’t think of many other jobs where it would be all that helpful.

Everyone knew that they would release a cheaper model, and it was always their plan. That’s why it has ‘pro’ in its name.

Yes, it can be pretty impressively good. It ‘just works’ and can print at amazing speeds. Note the small bed size and lack of ability to tinker though.

Ender 3 IMO is mostly obsolete now, nowadays you can easily get something for a similar price with better features across the board. Yes, an ender 3 will work, but why get one if you can get something better for the same price? (video on the topic)

Do not get a base ender 3. Get something direct drive with input shaping and auto bed leveling if you can. If you want a printer that “just works” where (after some setup) you can just press a button and get a print, auto bed leveling is a must-have IMO. I don’t have one myself, but I think the neptune 4 for ~$220 is a good option, anything else with similar specs would also work. Look at some reviews on youtube.

If you install it locally, it will be as secure as any other thing you do on your computer.

Reuters is the source, they’re fairly reputable.

My ideal copyright would be 15 years or death of the creator or the end of sale/support, whichever is earlier. That would mean that Portal 2 has copyright and Portal doesn’t, which sounds about right.

Yeah, it was like a boarding pass printing machine though, which seems like a weird use. You still had to get the pass scanned later.

Not in the case of the google search AI. It quotes directly from unreliable sources.

this paper tries to do that: arxiv.org/pdf/2404.04689

there are also several other techniques I think

They can’t. AI has hallucinations. Google has shown that AI can’t even rely on external sources, either.
