One would not have copy the implementation. Just use the binary to understand how the hardware device works. Like "Aha, it sends point data as x/y/pressure triplets, each being 16 bit values" etc.

With enough patience and spit it should be possible to understand it. And AI can do it while we sleep.

Would it work to give the Windows driver to an LLM and tell it to analyze it and write a Linux driver?

    AI isn’t replacing me. Like a toddler, it
    needs to be constantly coached.

Humans are really bad at noticing trajectories. They see the current situation. They know what the situation was 5 years ago. But for some reason they do not believe that there is a trajectory. They view the present state as the final destination.

Couldn't an agent monitor feature requests and bug reports, reason about them, and then implement and fix the ones it deems important?

Feature requests are valuable because they tell you what users want.

Error reports are valuable because they tell you under which circumstances the code fails.

But the code that implements those features and fixes those errors can now be written by AI. AI follows all the rules for how code is supposed to be written in your project. Is already producing very high quality code. And soon it will produce a quality that no human can match.

I guess you can do remote monitoring via Orca when you set the printer to developer mode?

Here it looks like you can connect Orca?

I'm a confused about the whole "3D printer sends prints to its manufacturer's server" issue. Because I wouldn't want to connect hardware device like a 3D-printer to a network in the first place.

Can I buy a Bambu Lab printer and just never hook it up to any network?

Will I be able to print from sd-card just fine?

Can I update the firmware from an sd-card?

If these two are possible, I would not have any problems with such a device. If they are not, I would not even think about getting such a device.

And when it comes to slicing software: Can I use any slicing software and all I have to do is load the hardware info of the Bambu Lab printer I want to use? Or do I have to use Bambu Lab Studio or a fork like Orca Slicer for some reason?

And while we are at it: Does command line slicing software exist? I wouldn't want to dabble with a GUI. I would want to define the parameters of a print job in a yaml or json file and then slice it like "./slice.sh config.yaml myobject.stl"

Avoiding a dual-stack and making IPv4 a part of whatever superseeds it seems like the right choice to me.

IPv6 always seemed to me like throwing away all existing telephone numbers, just to support longer numbers.

Wouldn't that be cool? The company would have a list of tasks with a dollar amount next to it.

I for one have been dabbling with a bug in ThunderBird for days now that drives me mad:

I recently created a folder in Thunderbird and called it "archive". No way would I have expected that this will lead me to a bug and will take hours out of my day: There seems to be no way to get rid of this folder anymore.

Things I have tried:

"Keep message archives in" in "Copies and Folders" is disabled. I tried temporarily enabling it, setting it to some other dir and disabling it again, that did not help.

I have disabled it in "subscribe".

I cannot rename it.

There is no "archive" folder in the web interface of my email provider, so if it Thunderbird somehow created it on the server, there seems to be no way to see, let alone delete it again in the web interface.

I tried deleting archive.msf on disk. That makes the folder disappear after the next start, but it is recreated after about a second.

I deleted folderTree.json and folderCache.json, that did not help.

While the Flash guys had to use a native development environment and compile their stuff, I could just edit JavaScript in a plain text file and hit reload.

20 years later, and some of the same friends now swear by Swift. And have to use a native development environment and compile their stuff. While I still prefer to just edit JavaScript in a plain text file and hit reload.

The data is of such form that the phone then can pass challenges of type "are you of at least x years old" without giving out any other information.

And the user cannot share that data with other users because their phone will not let them.

    P.S. `curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash` works.
    You can run real Claude Code and it can use Shiro's tools
    like a normal Linux system.

As for myself trying it - I think I would rather put OpenClaw on a $5/month VM myself than to pay $69/month for it.
