You could do that indeed, but the performance would be abysmal. For this kind of use-case, it would be a LOT better to use a small pre-trained model and either fine-tune it on your materials, or use some kind of RAG workflow (possibly both).

Oh wow that sounds so bad, even worse than I imagined.

I don't think this is about education, but I suspect rather something more akin to "intellectual revenge". Let me explain : In my experience, people who are into conspiracy theories are usually people who have been intellectually marginalised or disparaged during their life. It's not about being stupid - I think that's besides the point - but it's about being called and made feel stupid, literally or metaphorically.

People don't want to believe they are stupid, and they especially don't want to believe the people (or institutions) who call them stupid are superior to them. So they find a way out, by believing something that not only makes them feel important (they know but other people don't), but also superior to those who ostracised them in the first place.

I've been thinking about this for a while, but somehow never came across any similar ideas anywhere, anybody got references (or comments) ?

ASA is very prone to warping, and thus needs an enclosure to keep ambient temp high enough while printing. You might be able to print small parts in ASA with a non-enclosed bedslinger like this, but you will run in trouble for bigger parts.

Well that's also what I used to believe, kinda makes sense. But drawing from my own anecdotal experience I had to conclude that's not the case. Maybe I'm wrong, and it's just VERY bad at it, or it doesn't work where I live.

If the developers are around, I would like to ask a simple question : Does this app only use realtime data for calculating ETA and routes, or does it learn some statistical regularities in the traffic patterns to make predictions ?

I'm asking because this is the main weakness of all similar apps that I know of, they always give you an estimation using only the current state of traffic on the whole journey, so if you are going towards a busy city at peak traffic time it may add one or two hours to the ETA even if you are still 5 hours away and everything will be gone by the time you get there. Obviously the reverse situation is even more annoying, I live in the Paris area, and when I leave home around 4pm and ask google maps an itinerary, it may tell me I'm only 30 minutes away, but 15 minutes later shit hits the fan and I end up an hour late on my schedule.

Obviously after a while you start learning the traffic patterns and plan accordingly, which is okay I guess, but we're in 2023, how can google not be up to the task of correctly predicting a traffic spike when it's regular on a daily or weekly basis ? Is that just too much data / compute for them ? If anybody has a clue, I'm curious.

Hi Mateo, nice to see the project is still alive and evolving. I personally tried it about a year ago, and I found it really good for designing simple web pages with reusable and customisable components. But the content management system was the issue for me, I was hoping there would be a way to just drop markdown files in a folder for it to generate articles or blog posts following a template like a regular SSG. We even talked about it briefly, and I then forked the primo repo and started implementing a custom method to convert the database entries into a files / folder structure, which was going alright but the reverse operation seemed tricky to implement and I ended up going down another road, building my own custom markdown SSG inspired by this guide : https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/build-static-sveltekit-mar... Anyway, my use case is probably not the one you are targeting, but I still think it would be a dope product if everything worked the same but instead of writing the project into a database it would be a dynamic files / folder structure that could be edited and versioned like a regular sveltekit project. Basically it would be a svelte-based SSG framework with a components library and a dedicated UI to complement the regular text editor. Just dropping this in case someone reads it and wants to build it, keep up the good work.

Github auth seems broken for me on chrome mac, anyone else ? Here's the error on the login page : You are already signed in, please try signing out and signing in again, or contact us for help. Sometimes I get sent to a profile page, but trying to create a project sends me back to the login page.

Exactly my thought, this seems like a bunch of design compromises mostly towards backwards-compatibility, but I suspect they also did not want to make their flagship product reliant on a chinese MCU, hence the no-wifi variant.
