Just ship a self contained build?

This was a sidecar application distributed by literally millions of installs per day - so having a 25MB "self contained" build was out of the question - we were targeting KB-sized distributables not 10's of MB.

Ok that works for STL files, but printers don’t print STL files they print g code. G code is generated by slicers, and depending on your printer and settings the g code will be different.

Is this law obligating printer manufactures to lock down their printer to slicers that can do the STL naughty check?

Is the answer to buy a travel router and give it the same SSID as another network, either work or home? Or is this doing something more sophisticated than SSID snooping?

Nobody knows, as far as I can tell; I haven't found any actual sources and I don't think the code is present in a public release anywhere for anyone to look at. I'm assuming it must work off of MAC at a minimum, since most offices have the same SSID across buildings. It doesn't really seem "designed" as a spyware/audit feature, since it would be a terrible flimsy one, but it also just doesn't seem that useful compared to the "yuck" factor it generates and the potential for abuse by crappy employers/managers.

More on this here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46827756 but the short of it is where is this talk of SSIDs even originating and, if it is really the approach, how does it work right at all?

That aside, if it is SSIDs it's dead simple to fake. If it's BSSIDs it's a little more difficult and not every AP may expose a way to spoof it (but it's not too difficult to find ones which will).

Some states handle this by requiring cars over a certain age to be emission checked before you can renew its registration. Failing cars have to be fixed and rechecked before you can get your tags.

I live in one of the US states with no emissions checks at all.

Well that’s not strictly true. If you move into the state you have to get one emissions check to get your car licensed.

After that, or if you buy the car in the state, no checks for you.

I think they stop checking cars after a certain year. Like, if you are driving a 1980 Buick, they won’t make you scrap it because it’s emission tech is way out of date.

I can only speak about Germany. Here the technical safety and exhaust check are mandatory every two years. The exhaust check is relative to what the manufacturer specified when they first started selling the car. No one is getting their car taken away because technology improved but you can‘t let your car degrade (or modify it) so it becomes more dirty.

Oldtimers are still excluded from all emissions checks.

My Samsung frame does that too, some TVs ignore the off CEC command. It might be a setting you can control on the tv. Last time I checked the frame did not have that option.

I avoided Blazor, despite multiple people on my teams pushing for it. It always felt like it fit in the same space as web forms and silverlight. A product created to fill a gap of developers that wrote desktop apps and don't want to learn how to write front end code for the web. Plus it binds you to the product lifecycle of a .net side project that likely will be abandoned.

While Blazor has some cool stuff built in, the cool stuff never felt worth the risk of building a product around it.

Honestly, I was wishing that Blazor was in the same space as web forms.

There is a market for front-end development that isn't steeped in the hell of actual front-end development. Blazor is almost the right idea but I think this incarnation is a dead end. Somebody needs to gather up all the pieces and figure it out for real.

I think it’s less about managing the environmental impact of landfills and more about eventually the concentration of desirable materials in landfills may end up higher than in known natural deposits. Or at least easier to refine and separate.

The models aren’t static, we have to build validation sets to measure model drift and modify our prompts to compensate.

Netflix is right in its prime right now, K-Pop Demon Hunters is a smash hit and probably the biggest cultural thing going on right now, it has like 4 songs from it in the top 10. Wednesday is coming back this weekfor the end of season 2. Stranger Things is wrapping up in November,

Odd to hear for me. Netflix Australia has been in steep decline for years now. The only shows I recognise by title or actors in the poster are 15+ years old, or are adorned with 'Leaving Soon'. Everything of value has been poached by a competitor.

It's the same situation in Italy. Netflix doesn't have any interesting content anymore, only their own originals.

Any other examples? None of those scream prime to me - however I haven't heard of kpop demon hunters

NPR had 3 stories last week in their NPR News Now Podcast about K-Pop Demon Hunters. Like I said it has 4 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 all in the top 10. It's the best performing movie ever on Netflix with over 236 million streams. It was so successful they actually did a run of showings on over 1,700 screens topping the box office charts for that week and grossing over 18 million in a weekend.

I'm not sure what else it would need to do besides dominate the music, box office, and streaming charts to be considered a success. It was widely covered in the news media as well. I predict that Rumi is going to be maybe the most popular costume with kids this year. My daughter and all her friends all claim they're going to be Rumi for halloween.

Stranger Things was huge, and maybe it's trailed off over the years. It never was quite as big as say Game of Thrones, but it was probably at least same tier as a Ted Lasso.

Wednesday is big as well, but hasn't dominated the work conversations as much as other shows, but I've heard it routinely mentioned in media. Wednesday Addams is also predicted as a top costume this halloween. The Wednesday dance was definitely a huge cultural meme last season.

But I guess to your point, there isn't something as big as a Game of Thrones out there right now on Netflix. But they have hit a pretty hot streak recently.

Maybe it's the marketing? It's on the main home page every time I open it.

Copilot replacing intellisense is a huge shame. Why get actual auto complete when you can get completely hallucinated methods and properties instead.

Does it actually replace it? I can still get intellisense style suggestions on my ides (various jetbrains and visual studio) and it's still just as useful (what can this object do I wonder...)

No it does not replace it. I still get intellisense in VS Code. GP is misinformed
