I think a problem might be that the “easily broken away” might be a feature that an algorithm might be able to learn.

Yes i know. But this is trivially easy to get into the training data. You just slice models in random orientations and build your training dataset that way so the algortihm will recognize gun parts in every direction.

Yes that would probably work. There could be some essential features of weapon parts that an algorithm might still be able to learn, and a printer could also keep track of previously printed parts for the classification. I think its unlikely that there are essential features of gun parts that are specific to gun parts so there would probably be a lot of false positives.

Isleepinahammocks idea would probably work. But rotation and translation would not. Thats something you can easily take care of in your training data, by reusing the same training data in multiple random positions and random angles.

Yes that’s probably how you would do this. Get a bunch of data of gcode of 3d printed gun parts and not-gun parts, for different slicers and printers. Then train some transformer as a classifier. Based on how good object recognition is, i would say its possible that you would get reasonably good accuracy and precision. And because you are scanning for code the architecture will likely be similar to an llm.

Its more that ypur payment provider will stop working with whatever platform/store your game is on if the platform doesn’t require games to implement age verification.

So games would just generally stop working (out of the box) on linux, because steam or gog or whatever will only sell games that rely on OS age verification, because otherwise they would not be able to accept credit cards.

In order to avoid having to list exceptions to the above posts statement, you are now required to sprinkle a bit of sugar on every icecube you consume.

AI slop has just accelerated the downfall of search engines. Attention based economy, advertising and SEO are the reason you can’t find anything useful anymore. The Internet itself is broken and even if there was a good search engine it would struggle to not suffocate in the seo crap out there.

Some ceramics heat up in the microwave. You have experienced this probably, whenever the bowl is searing hot but the food cold. That’s when a thing is not microwave safe.

When it’s microwave safe it won’t absorb the waves and won’t heat up.

Striezelmarkt in Dresden.

Ironically this specific market has a giant garage under the market

Hard disks may fragment when one tries to compact them. It will need to be defragmented afterwards.

Softer disks are more amenable to be compressed into compact disks, floppy ones work best.

Okay that takes care of the basics. The next step is how does one keep functioning?

To be fair, we mostly have examples of how free trade reduces prices. But this reduction in prices usually wasn’t instantaneous and perceivable by ordinary folks. Because corporations wouldn’t hand out the savings to consumers until the very slow market force of competition forced them to. Tariffs will make everything more expensive and even if they are eventually culled, stuff will not become suddenly cheap again.

At least the desktop app of proton shows you the state or even city where the server is located. For Germany I can even choose between Frankfurt and Berlin for example. I know that for us servers I was able to specifically choose New York.

Edit: In the android app you can go to countries then tap the three dots next to united states and select a state to connect to.

Ah that’s really cool. So maybe similar to how turbulence can form at one point while the preceding flow remains laminar?

But you didn’t choose to have the thought did you?

Quick think of a city and then explain to me why you didn’t pick Cairo

I want to rebuke you but you name is even more triggering. There is no linear chaos, you need non-linearities or discontinuities for chaos.

Not executing it would also be predetermined. The only thing you can do is pretend to choose.

Why 2027?
