Did Lucille Bluth write that article?

How many JS codebases are over 30 years old? Can you name even one?

BASIC? That's cute.

If you don't think EE students learn how circuits (including ICs) work, what exactly do you think they're doing while they're in school?

OK, but that doesn't really answer my question, and I'm getting the sense you don't know how deeply some engineers understand how the hardware works. Plenty of embedded programmers have EE degrees, and can write VHDL just as well (or just as badly) as they can write C and ASM.

You think people writing C(++) for baremetal systems don't understand how their hardware works?

The difference here is that several companies have used offshore human labor for products they claim are powered by AI. Mechanical Turk doesn't claim to be AI.

People should really look into growing the less common varieties at home. You can get supplies and spores or cultures from reputable companies so you don't have to worry about identifying them yourself. You can't grow all varieties easily at home, but you can grow more than you can buy at the store.

The same way Epstein was able to get a plea deal that gave him immunity to federal charges back in 2006. Everyone involved is extremely well-connected.

Even things like HDDs that don't become "obsolete" in 18-24 months get sold with plenty of life left (unplanned downtime is more expensive than new hardware), but obsolescence makes it happen even sooner.

Yeah, he literally changed his last name to "dotcom."

Regardless of who owns it or what they do with it, those GPUs will get sold on the used market with plenty of life left. Older AI GPUs, networking equipment (eg 100GbE), SAS drives, etc have been easy to find on eBay and other sites for a long time, because data centers replace hardware long before it's expected to fail.

Hey everyone, I'm new to photography and wondering how much people spend on lenses compared to the camera body they're mounted on? Does it make sense to buy a higher end lens for a mid range camera, or would you be better off getting a slightly cheaper lens and spending some of the money on a nicer camera? Mainly wondering about used gear...

Currently shooting with my SO's D3500 when she isn't using it, and thinking of buying my own. Considering a used Pentax since weather resistant lenses seem easier to find for them than other brands...

Edit: how practical is it to use a Pentax lens on a Nikon with an adapter, and vice versa? I assume the electronics like AF and VR won't work?

 

I'm printing with PLA on a "PEO" print bed (really a textured PEI), on my heavily modified ender 3, and there's a pattern on the bottom of my first layer that I'm trying to get rid of. The top of the first layer looks fine, and changing the z offset in either direction doesn't help. I've also tried slowing down the print speed because I thought the extruder might be skipping, but I'm still seeing it at 10mm/s. Any idea what could be causing it, and how to get rid of it?

Edit: the first layer went down from the bottom left to the top right, but the pattern I'm seeing is perpendicular to the extruder path
