Here’s more if you’d like to read about it.

I remember when the DMCA was introduced and all the various issues arising from what and isn’t copyrightable when it comes to digital vs physical copies, etc.
Again I’d like to recommend Leonard French (Lawful Masse) on YouTube and Twitch for a copyright lawyers breakdown of these kinds of issues.
And therein lies the rub. When it comes to copyright every infringement case has to be adjudicated by a judge (assuming they have filed a copyright)
I can definitely recommend Leonard French’s (a copyright lawyer) channel Lawful Masses on YouTube and Twitch for a more in-depth breakdown of copyright cases. How it works, the rights that copyright holders have, etc.
I’m not Anti AI. I have fun making stuff with it.
But the copyright laws as they are don’t apply. And if they did it would open a can of worms legally.
The recipe can’t be copyrighted. The cake produced can’t be copyrighted. But the packaging or style of a cake with your brand could be trademarked which is a different legal ball of wax entirely
It’s a good analogy but one thing to consider is that the artist is the copyright holder.
The company that directed it only has the copyright either by explicit contract transferring rights or because it’s a work for hire where the employee’s copyright work is “automatically” transferred to their employer.
Some interesting case law on that from Disney artists, comic book authors, etc
It has to be fixed in a tangible medium.
In this case they’re not “fixing” their words and the final art is the created expression. Yet in this case their created expression wasn’t created by them but the program.
In this case their combination is the palette and paint but the program “interpreted” and so fixed it.
For example you can’t copyright a simple and common saying. Nor something factual like a phone book. Likewise you can’t copyright recipes. There has to be a “creative” component by a human. And courts have ruled that AI generated content doesn’t meet that threshold.
That’s not to say that creating the right prompt isn’t an “art” (as in skill and technique) and there is a lot of work in getting them to work right. Likewise there’s a lot of work in compiling recipes, organizing them, etc. but even then only the “design” part of the arrangement of the facts, and excluding the factual content, can be copyrighted.
I’m looking forward to it with the family. I really enjoyed the audiobooks one week. Checked it out as a casual read after a heavy book but it’s was, like you mention, heartfelt and sweet.
It’s like how the earth bulges out at the equator.
The momentum pulls them out, gravity pulls it back. Similar thing at the solar and galactic planes.
They “bulge” relatively to the spin of the material over time and the clumps of material then forms planets along that general plane.
From the aboves video you can see this at 44seconds

And a relevant PBS Spacetime video

But the biggest reason is the way gasses form in space. As noted in the above video at the 8:45 mark. Gasses aren’t able to fall back into the center along their axis of spin because of their momentum. But the gassed above and below the plane can move towards the gathering material there by gravity and so it flattens out.
Enders Game instilled the importance of adjusting your frame of reference. What was up can become down.
So it’s science fiction but when you consider a collaborative global human response to existential danger it’s fantasy.
But the Shadow series shows how quickly we go back to weaponizing and using gifted war trained children as tools of conquest… so realism/horror?
If a person is at the intro/intermediate level that advice may be sound enough. Since they’re less likely to apply proper rules to include those ranges of IP’s etc.
Assuming it’s advising disabling it at the router/switch level and not just a per device level.
Better would be to explain: Disable this until you’re familiar with the following concepts (see cited books/material for more info)
Or a LAN. Could do a WAN which itself can be interconnected over a wide area. Usually by routing over the internet but you could use something like satellite uplink or miles of dedicated cables.
But the interconnection of multiple LANS and WANS is what would make an “internet”.
So maybe 2 universities joining their own networks would be moving towards a private “internet” but I think we’d still call that a private network or a WAN.
It’s interesting to consider where the definitions change.
Exactly… this printer is useful honey.
I can make parts for the printer, accessories for filament management for the printer.
Halloween decorations… once I get the printer back online when I have this mod finished.
Parts for another printer.
Mounts for the brooms… when more filament comes in since I used the last of it for the parts for the new printer.
Save 450 on a unique appliance part they’re not making anymore which now justifies the thousands I’ve spent on this thing.
Seriously though. It is a fun hobby and if you want to just print and make things and not tinker there are plenty of good options out there. Me? I like tinkering. It’s a blast.
If I don’t design and print something I could buy I might be tempted to do more mods for my printer.
Things like this give us… balance. Luckily I have a new project… building a Voron so it’s both something new AND printing printer parts.
I found this one online from last year

It has its strength. The downside to blender is it’s geometry based unlike Fusion and others that are parametric.
Where this shines, for example, is when you’re defining a circle with a given radius. If it’s 4mm in a cad program and you export to STL it will be polygon based. But you can adjust the density of the export and, if you need to, scale your cad up 200%, 300%, etc and export again. Always resulting in the closest approximation of that circule in the stl or export. This way you don’t lose any fidelity. Blender does have some great tools for interpolating points in a mesh so it’s not useless either.
The best analogy I can think of is raster and vector. Doubling the size of a vector doesn’t result in aliasing. But, likewise, doing a high quality image of something photorealistic is not great on vector.
I use Fusion for cad modeling. The parametric design workflow allows me to adjust measurements, etc and have them show downstream, etc. But if I’m going to import something that’s already an 3d model I’ll use blender and mesh mixer to cleanup the model first.
I’ve also used just blender when using game assets to pose a model before exporting to a mesh for use in a slicer. Since, again, it’s the tool for the job.
You’re absolutely right. Excel isn’t the issue, controllers aren’t the issue.
The controls and navigation were proverbial canaries in the coal mine to the bargain basement approach to design and materials purchasing for components that were under pressure.
Destructive Stress Testing, redundancies? “That stuff costs money. I know better than any ‘bloated’ established and experienced agency or company because I can save a dime”. That attitude is what killed them and doomed the entire venture from the beginning.
There you go. Guess I need more coffee
Son of Ryan Routh (man arrested for suspected golf club attack on Trump) arrested for possible possession of child pornography
I’ll admit it’s hard to find a way to phrase it that’s clear. Unless you remove the bit about Trump.
He just posted a letter he got. They actually seemed to take the issue seriously including removal and an offer of compensation for any losses.
That’s a refreshing change
Very cool. And gives me some ideas for Halloween costume lighting
I thought I’d add that it looks like it’s overextruded. So much that the filament is being “pushed” out and curling back around the nozzle.
It could be the e steps, flow rate, etc but it could also be that your Z offset needs to be adjusted back away a smidge.
That could be part of the inconsistent print since the tool head movement over one section of the bed vs another may be affected by the layer below based on how the filament curled there.
If you want to do a deep dive into adjusting/calibrating the Ender I did write up a bit here (although that post does relate to Klipper and I mention settings/adjustments for Klipper it starts purely with the physical printer itself and builds on it)
