errr... Apple doesn't charge for its operating system. macOS literally doesn't have a price.

It is called Model Collapse, and avoiding it is a hot research topic.

If you punish companies for firing, you get less hiring.

Countries with inflexible labor markets tend to have higher unemployment.

Indeed. People participating in the arts tend to be higher-income, with healthier diets and better access to healthcare.

Also, the causation may go the other way. Healthier people are more likely to get out and go to museums or galleries.

That's what OpenCL is.

OpenCL

There's a small performance hit because OpenCL runs on any GPU, whereas CUDA is tuned only for Nvidia GPUs.

I'm not sure why this is modded Funny. It should be modded Insightful.

Modern AI is pretty good at rewriting CUDA as OpenCL.

It's not just one click (yet), but AI can do 90% of the work with some human guidance.

AI can also create a test suite to verify that the translation is correct.

I can print to my Bambu printer locally by using LAN only or an SD card, not sure why you think I need their cloud to print at all.

Also https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Forca-slicer.com%2F is not offline, some kind of a fork of it is offline.

Completely disagree. 100% disagree. If I need something that my printer from Bambu cannot do I will get another printer. For what I need it though it is great and keeps me from *wasting* time. My time is what is important to me more than money.

I like their products. I just want printing without fuss and without having to learn every detail about leveling, etc. Their product works for me and I do not care about its openness, it is about as important for what I need it as my headphones being open sourced (not at all). So this product is for my use case, not for people who want to control every aspect of their printer and every software feature.

IF they decide to make it prohibitively expensive to operate their hardware, then I will go back to a less capable hardware kit.

Building generators does not require tax dollars.

Of course not. We buy electricity from the utilities. They don't pay us to take it.

That's actually a smart strategy.

But I wonder how many employees will quit in today's job market.

Yes, but now you have it too complicated for 95% of the vibe coders. So they simply won't do it. Because skipping all of those steps still results in something that compiles.

They fuck up spreadsheets as well. A truckload of business-critical spreadsheets have errors in them that often go undetected for years.

It's hard enough to get actual developers to properly consider security. Not surprised at all that vibe coders don't.

Plus, of course, most of the training data is insecure to begin with.

But let them learn by fire that there's a reason actual programmers take time to ship a product, and it's not that the AI can type faster.

I got an Idea. How about locating and deleting data centers that host these things? Deleting them from existance.
