Maybe add to the Claude system prompt that it should work efficiently or else its unfinished work will be handed off to to a stupider junior LLM when its limits run out, and it will be forced to deal with the fallout the next day.

That might incentivize it to perform slightly better from the get go.

Here are some longer 5 foot zip ties on Amazon

"To be clear, we’re not just talking about length, although at 47 inches long it’s certainly substantial. But extremely long zip ties already exist for things like wrapping large bundles of cable. This one is also cartoonishly thick, and features a similarly upscaled locking mechanism that allows it to hold up to 2,000 pounds, according to the company."

please, those are not hysterically funny

"Most people" didn't figure this out either, the top 0.01% did.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they used AI to assist themselves in small ways

You're just moving the goal post & not addressing the question I asked. Why isn't AI optimizing the kernels in its own code the way people have been optimizing it like in the posted paper?


It will, right after it reads the paper.

I read the paper. All the prerequisites are already available in existing literature & they basically profiled & optimized around the bottlenecks to avoid pipeline stalls w/ instructions that utilize the available tensor & CUDA cores. Seems like something these super duper AIs that don't get tired should be able to do pretty easily.

I'm almost positive they get paid the same at the end of the day either way and the $45 just lines the pockets of someone on the top.

It's not that they'd pay individual employees more, it's that they'd hire more workers to account for the fact that their existing workers are tied up doing extra verification.

Though they might not do that either.


Even that fails a sanity test. They're not doing anything more than they would have done 25 years ago when the whole damn thing started.

I wasn't flying 25 years ago but I'm not sure what you mean, or how that's relevant actually. The point is just that it takes them more time to do the "extra screening" if you don't have your ID than the standard screening if you did have your ID.

Sure. A couple of things to clarify:

1. They're not doing screening. The screening comes later. At this stage, they're attempting to identify someone. That has never been the job. The job is to prevent guns, knives, swollen batteries, or anything else that could be a safety threat during air travel.

2. Regardless, the reality is that they do identify travelers. Even so, the job has not changed. If you don't present sufficient identification, they will identify you through other mechanisms. The only thing the new dictate says is that they don't want this document, they want that document.


> That has never been the job. The job is to prevent guns, knives, swollen batteries, or anything else that could be a safety threat during air travel.

A job that by their own internal testing, they do well less than 5% of the time (some of their audits showed that 98% of fake/test guns that were sent through TSA got through checkpoints).


Do you not see how an organization discouraging the use of something inefficient benefits as a whole?

Thats why cashless businesses exist, why you pay more for things that involve human attention instead of automated online solutions etc.


Who does it benefit? Not me. Maybe it benefits Mastercard and Visa.

Yes it benefits the consumer through lower prices, and in the case of cashless specifically, less tax fraud, etc

Most businesses near me offer lower prices to people paying with cash.

High interchange fees?

or tax fraud, otherwise cashless is obviously cheaper


This. Even Linux is nasty. Qt and GTK are both horrible messes to use.

It would be nice if someone made a way to write desktop apps in JavaScript with a consistent, cross-platform modern UI (i.e. swipe to refresh, tabs, beautiful toggle switches, not microscopic check boxes) but without resorting to rendering everything inside a bloated WebKit browser.


Qt is not a horrible mess to use, the problem is just people don't bother to learn any tech stack outside web. It's so obvious that this is the issue to anybody who actually does native development.

That’s what React Native is. But JavaScript is the problem.

Can you explain why GTK is a mess?

It always amuses me because the people complaining about stocks going down are always the same people who are causing them to go down. Losing money was a choice that those people collectively made. They could have chosen to act differently, in light of the optimistic long-term future.

No doubt! Collective action is a solved problem! Why do people do things other than the obvious Right Things we can all agree on? Must be some kind of mass psychosis…

It stopped working for me after I switched to Wayland

The above works on wayland, had to make the changes specifically when I moved over to wayland and hyprland

Same for me. I would love to use it on my Sway desktop, but never managed to make it run there.

This works for me on PopOS Cosmic (Wayland). Please lmk if my flags are incorrect.

Bleh, just wire into the steppers and extruder directly, not that hard.

To be clear I have no desire to print firearms but I do not want my tools online and getting bricked when the company who made it goes out of business.


Right to repair.

Right to use.

I don’t think a company should have a say in what you do with their product after you have purchased it. Whether you intend to print firearms or not. The acts of the few should not withhold liberty of the many.


I would add right to build. I have built my 3D printers and i control the firmware. No need to go online.

Prusas are easily offline, pop an SD card or USB in and print

And you can inspect their network code and traffic if you want.

OpenSCAD nightly using the Manifold engine is a lot faster than the CGAL crap the stable version ships with

I am learning build123 and skipping OpenSCAD altogether

just build it from source, its like night and day! thanks for the tip
