I meant in the context of the post where primary focus seemed to be using up the leftover bits of filament

Bambu allows you to automatically switch to a different spool from ams when you run out and continue printing, so this becomes unnecessary.

Imagine you start researching something else before you’ve had the opportunity to finish your last. I have 10-20 tabs open for each of several in progress projects on my tablet

• Tiny bottle of artificial tears - great for flushing stuff out of your eyes, offers some relief if hit by tear gas or pepper spray too
• Tweezers
• Scissors, unless you carry some kind of blade anyway

Pelican 1600?

Only when paired with precise geo location and cruise missiles.

Where did I put the tablet I had in my hand 3 minutes ago? No clue. Phone number to the store I bought some PC parts once in 1997? No problem.

Edit: store is long gone, building is long gone, I moved to a different continent twice, but this is clearly essential information.

It is a crime, but also a punishment.

I’ll personally give him 10 trillion Zimbabwe dollars to fuck off

Extreme left as defined in US falls somewhere around center-center right in EU on most issues.

I spend significantly more time keeping AI at bay than using it.

• It is not good enough to write code at the expertise level I’m usually required to work at. I’ve spent more time fixing generated code than it would have taken me to write it from scratch.
• It hallucinates too much for me to trust any information provided by one
• Security of AI companies is about the same as IoT companies with the difference being that if IoT leaks my data it’s going to be incompetence and not malice - I don’t trust AI with any of my local data.
• AI agents require to be given even more access and permissions and that’s just not happening.
• I contact support when I’ve exhausted what I can do myself and as a result AI chatbots are an annoying obstacle that can’t help me and I have to waste my time going through to reach a person that actually has power to help me

Slightly different part, same process. The bigger bottleneck is packaging - HBM is 3d stacked.

Same memory production capacity can be allocated to ddr5 or to hbm and openai signed contracts with sk hynix and samsung, the two largest ram manufacturers in the world, and bought a significant percentage of next year’s production.

DDR5 prices started spiking as that deals impact propagated through the supply chain. I bought a 2x32 6800 Cl30 kit for 195 euro 12 days ago. It was 330 euro 4 days later.

Those negotiations were well before the demo - before any work on the game has started

Correct, the law was on his side. If he was offered the 10k he initially took and not it being a result of his demands I would be on his side as well. He opted for the less risky option - a flat fee - and because of that I don’t believe he was morally entitled to the higher, more risky payment structure he flat out refused to consider. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

When CDPR came to him to license Witcher they offered him a percentage of all sales. He told them to get bent, because they won’t make anything worthwhile anyway and demanded a flat fee of IIRC 10k instead. When Witcher games became a huge success he sued for more money…

Can confirm he’s been a huge arsehole even before Wither Netflix series or before any of the Witcher games. Simply being an extremely popular fantasy author in Poland was enough to get him there.

I’ve been told by one of the Polish convention organizers that just a year or two (2000 or 2001, can’t remember) after last Witcher book was published they were worried when they invited him, because he’d sometimes refuse to leave his hotel room over some imaginary slight. They didn’t want to invite him because of that, but they could not not invite him, because he was THE author…

What I remember from my limited interaction with him around that time at one of the cons is that despite being a fan he made my fists itch.

what was CDPR before The Witcher

The largest game publisher in Poland that made it’s name by hiring top billing Polish actors to voice characters in e.g. polish release of Baldurs Gate.
