Now music recommendations? That might just work given that algorithms are already doing a decent job at presenting new ( to the particular user, not by actual age) music that the user may enjoy

In my experience they really suck…“oh, you liked that song from this artist? let me just push a shitload that is categorised in the same basic genre without actually considered the specific track you liked”

It’s so ridiculously generic in its suggestions it’s useless. So yeah, AI can almost only do a better job at this than currently.

I’m guessing that answer was a reply to something else, because it makes absolutely no sense in this context.

It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don’t have road tolls. They’re used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.

You’re either a shitty LLM or you have difficulties with substance abuse like I do. If you’re the latter, please reach out to me again and we can have a private conversation about our journey to sobriety.

Uuh…what does that have to do with electricity prices??

Aw shit i misread that…we have >1$/kWh in peak (which is between 5-9pm) too often here during winter.

I live in Northern California where we pay literally the highest electricity prices in the entire planet

Bullshit…you’re not even the most expensive in the US. And for “planet reference” the average price ATM where i live (not US) is 40¢/kWh, and we’re not even the most expensive…

Edit: misread California as Carolina…my bad

Starch-based polymer != starch

it will be readily metabolized by the various ubiquitous species populating our biosphere. i suppose it’s a good thing. possibly the only microplastic that doesn’t suck

Not really, it is considered compostable in industrial composting conditions. It will not degrade at a reasonable timeframe in natural conditions and will basically just remain micro plastic.

I have had a few ads popup in it,

How is this not cause enough to instantly drop them!?

Looks like you need to calibrate extrusion multiplier, and do a proper calibration of e-steps first and not just adjusting values blindly based on print performance.

here’s a great (comprehensive) guide

I think OP is asking for help with what to try next to fix the issues on the benchy, not what item to print next.

They missed a great opportunity by not calling it Draudio/Drawdio…

Money is power/influence, that has always been the case. Not sure why you felt the need to put that in quotes as if it wasn’t universally applicable.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy…prices vary by the hour, and that was only the single most expensive hour in that period though, and it was way above normal. Normally it peaks around 0.35USD/kWh with normal daytime prices around 0.2USD/kWh and nighttime prices around 0.1USD/kWh.

My total electricity consumption in the 5-9pm period is only around 2kWh though, so despite high prices it’s not much money.

Hah, that’s rookie numbers man…we just hit $1.2USD/kWh the other day during the “dinner rush” between 5pm-9pm

BuT tHe CoDE iS seLFeXplaNAtoRy!!

The company’s solution has an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg for lithium ternary batteries, 40% more than current batteries. However, the report said charging speed and cycle life are not quite where they need to be.

That’s corporate speak for “This is far from where it needs to be”

I would definitely still tune extrusion rate on the printer profile and flow rates and PA for each filament profile

I’ve always followed Ellis’ guide start to finish. It really makes a huge difference in print quality and especially consistency of printer performance.

As for filament, I’ve found brands I really like that have good and consistent quality and stick to those. Before when I was trying different brands, I found I had to tune filament settings every time I tried a different brand which got really annoying.
