<p>Are the prices so insane this is actually a viable option instead of just buying a bigger license? I always tell juniors to just submit a request for a licence since it will likely cost far less than retraining them or making them work harder and more to compensate for splitting things up (not FPGA related though).</p>

<p>If anyone has a flashforge check out the alternative OS with all the normal goodies without the proprietary crap for the 5m. I adjusted most of the original on printer display code for it back in the first version and I guess it has been improved by now (don't have the printer anymore). Would not recommend to buy one now since they "open source" their code but won't provide the makefile to build it which likely contains a bunch of external references. So you cannot build your own klipper code for it or update it in any way. They raised the "proprietary code" argument of course which is bs on the level of an entire herd.</p>

<p>What you describe is something people with enough to make the first purchase and eat the cost when it breaks have been doing for years e.g. with cars. People on the lower end of money scale tend to use products for well over their economic lifetime saving way more and buying a cheap replacement if it breaks. Notable exception as stated being phones for some reason as it likely is a status symbol for more people in a [insert preferred external sexual characteristic] measuring contest.</p>

<p>Note that Ford's plugin hybrids (using the same 2.5L engine as the full hybrids) also use the same technology (due to them having a cooperation and patent sharing agreement with Toyota) though they do differ a tiny bit due to the engine.<p>The tool is interesting though the Ford system can run independently on MG2/MG1 alone up to about 130kph (~80mph) depending on requested torque and load.<p>Only thing Ford screwed up is the battery (or Samsung since this time it's the cells).</p>

<p>> It is certainly seems possible that the actual sources of the data is the output of some other LLM.<p>My guess is you can see this happening with the bots on Reddit where they are refining the answers to one certain thing, often getting two or three the same responses in a row from different users because they have been enforcing themselves by digesting the output of other bots. Waiting to see when they cut down the sentences and start talking garbage.</p>

<p>We raised the drinking age from 16 to 18. The end result is more underage drinking but now illegal, more heavy drinking under 18, a rise in hospitalisations and a rise in problematic alcohol usage of the 18-23 group. The rise correlated strongly with the change in law. Let's see if it drops after a decade or so but I doubt it.</p>

<p>I'd say it is about what you expect for a country with voluntary programs. In the Netherlands the original program like the Swiss, resulted in heroïne becoming a medication for heavily addicted people usable under supervision. In the Netherlands there are about 4000 people with medical prescriptions for heroine on a 18M population.<p>Note that it is free, supervised and voluntary so ymmv in other countries. The conclusions of the original program with methadone in the 80s was that it resulted in hardly any reduction amongst heavy and problematic users and they were likely to go back to using heroine with all the associated problems, the heroine distribution program worked but needed some tweaking, thus the program was fully legalised and put into law resulting in supervised consumption (at the distribution point) with dosage control and medical checkups and far less issues.</p>

<p>> The risks; What risks? No diabetic with baseline adult competence is going to drive their insulin-delivery vehicle off a cliff because some app said so.<p>My local physician says otherwise, with respect to facebook posts about dosages. I'm convinced the same applies to LLM generated content with respect to people blindly following the computer.</p>
