This is mostly a problem with all projector and some LED headlights. It isn't a big problem with dual-reflector headlights because they are much more diffuse, but since projectors just have a big lens they have hot spots. With LED headlights it depends on what kind of diffuser is between the LED element and your eye.

Lifted vehicles can be a problem, but the most common problem for "lifted" pickups is someone has installed a leveling lift and not re-aimed their headlights, or have not done it correctly. Leveling lifts specifically lift the front of the vehicle only in order to make them sit more level when empty (or mostly empty.) Obviously this raises the headlights' aim. Usually you can just adjust it out, but you might have to shim the headlight or make other changes to fix the aim on some vehicles where there is not enough adjustment to fix it, and then you also have to care.

There is a provision in there restricting how much of insurance premiums can go to overhead; something like 80% must go to patient care. Assuming that's being enforced, the problem isn't entirely there.

No, this is the exact reason why the ACA is a disaster. Insurance company profits are capped at a percentage of the cost of care, so they are motivated to drive up costs. But what about the uncovered treatments that the hospitals have to eat?

The headline makes it look like he was arrested merely for the business not doing updates. While many of us have significant sympathy for that kind of action, from the only charges found not sealed so far they seem to be claiming that he was making threats of not doing his job. But that could easily be the result of someone not understanding what they were being told, so really we know nothing at all about what the charges are actually based on.

The comments on the linked article seem relatively informative.

"Even with Democrats in control of the House and Senate, the companies see fractured politics as the norm, including within the Democratic Party."

I don't need a frontier LLM to tell me that the Democrats are ineffectual.

The problem with actively trying to be centrist to please everyone is that a) that's impossible and b) it means actively trying to find candidates who are less progressive than the one you're looking at when you're also supposed to be the more progressive party.

The AI companies themselves don't even really understand how their creation works. But I don't see why that would make them immune to criminal negligence.

Indeed, that point is irrelevant because the AI companies do know how their creations access other people's systems: through some type of harness without which all they can do is poop out text. And they first trained the model on content which could produce such a result, and then configured that harness in such a way that doesn't prevent the AI part of the software from accessing things it isn't supposed to. They did both of those things willfully, without regard for the safety of others, and knowing that it can and will go off the rails in that manner. Is it mere negligence when you set into motion a machine which is likely to cause harm? And why should it be any different for code?

It's a FlashForge Adventurer 5M. This is the Klipper host I'm talking about. I don't know how much RAM is in the other parts, it's not that relevant. It's really not enough memory so ZRAM is a necessity. There are mods for the printer, I am using ZMOD. It also offers a Klipper upgrade, fluidd, lower-memory camera streaming, and a better touch screen interface.

The AD5X has 512MB, the AD5M and AD5M Pro have only 256 and it's not enough. It causes timer too close errors. The controller hardware is just generally inadequate, which is unfortunate because the printer hardware is quite good.
