A pet clone is like 50k, I don’t think cloning a human is technically more challenging, so 50k plus hush money?

Not that that is necessary, you could just get anyones urine.

I was musing with friends recently that there’s no way that there’s no billionaires with illegal clones that they pretend are regular kids already. I mean the tech bro billionaires would eat that shit up once they hear that it’s technically feasible. And Musk is the likeliest idiot to do it imo.

Ist natürlich auch blöd, wenn dann die hauptsächlich aus Rentnern bestehende Gemeindeversammlung entscheidet, den Steuerfuss zu senken und gleichzeitig an der gleichen Versammlung Millionen für Rollstuhlgerechte Fahrstühle ausgibt, wie hier vor ein paar Monaten.

Also die Fahrstühle sind ne gute Sache aber dann noch Steuerfuss senken, sich gegen bezahlbare Wohnungen aussprechen (man hat ja sein Haus) und bei Schulen Container oder die billigste Offerte für hässliche Betonklotzschulen ohne richtigen Pausenplatz annehmen usw.

Wär natürlich nett, wenn mehr jüngere Leute an der Gemeindeversammlung wären, aber Dienstags von 19-23Uhr Zeit machen mit Job und Kindern ist deutlich schwieriger als als Rentner.

I’m super happy with my formbot Marathon IDEX, works perfectly fine with TPU (though i did have to adjust one screw guide in the extruder so it doesn’t eat the filament). it’s not very well known, since they don’t hand them out to influencers etc. The discord is pretty active and lots of helpful people there.

made with all standard components, regular Klipper firmware, so i know i can replace parts if anything ever breaks.

And IDEX in mirror/copy mode for printing multiple parts at twice the speed is great when you need it.

Selling fewer explosive vehicles seems like a good idea tbh.

While I agree it is overvalued, what really put it into perspective for me is that all of the known gold in the world would fit into a cube with a side length of 20-25m.

So a fair price would be lower than what it is now, but it is scarce and its uses (corrosion resistance, conductivity, malleability, reflectivity, etc.) probably would still warrant a relatively high price.

I wonder a bit in how far the opposite is the plan. Like Klarna recently firing support staff for AI and then wanting to hire them back, but as gig workers.

A company laying off thousands of engineers wont be nice for the stock. Saying you’re doing it because you’ll replace them with awesome AI might even pump the stock and is an easy excuse.

if you can the hire them back cheaper later because the job market is shit because many devs lost their job, even better.

It just reminds of this case from the 30s where a factory owner replaced skilled workers that wanted to unionize with machines and unskilled workers. The quality was worse and they produced less in a given time, and the machines were scrapped 3 years later. But it stopped unionization dead in its tracks and skilled workers got lower salaries afterward, so it all worked out even though the machines were strictly worse.

Books?

It also allows you to boost/deprioritize/ban domains from your searches. Not seeing pinterest show up ever again is great

I mean, they helpfully provide ranking lists. Start at #1 and work your way down

The newest generation of xps i shit anyways, good riddance.

i was really happy with my 2019ish xps. But the 2024 one is hot garbage. not just that it arrived with the keyboard not working and Dell taking 3 months to replace it. There’s a total of 2 usb-c ports on it. That’s all the connectors, yes. No, no headphone jack either. And one of those two is taken up with charging, so i’m left with one port if i dont use a dockingstation.

the whole function bar is touch now. you need to hit it 3 times for it to react, who needs Esc anyways. Unless you want to type in the number row, then the function row will pick up random key presses sometimes.

Copilot key no one asked for. Power button is just an unlabelled piece of plastic that looks like filler, not a button. Keyboard sucks in general, too little space between keys, you’re bound to mistype.

linux support is ok, though webcam doesn’t work in firefox, hibernate doesn’t work, every few weeks it’ll just freeze. But otherwise acceptable.

definitely my last dell, i really hate it.

[Edit] Oh and I forgot the best part, when the dell repairman finally repaired it after 3 months, he said “oh a new XPS? Yeah, those suck, every customer hates them especially for software development”
