As a separate note, you definitely want to do testing/tuning with ironing disabled. It will hide a lot of the features/defects that you are trying to observe/tune away.

Once things are working you can then tune the ironing

Okay my new guess is moisture in the filament causing inconsistent extrusion, leading to the bubble on the surface. And also causing over extrusion.

For the walls, your picture is a bit too blurry/low res to really see, but I get the vibe of over extrusion with the small part that’s sticking up in the center of the perimeters in the lower right. Also the top of the anchors for the supports looked over extruded, with plastic kinda curling up at the top.

Your new print is now definitely under extruded with those gaps on the top surface.

I think flow rate is not the culprit here. Your bridges on the first print are also extremely suspicious. They should be solid lines, not the blobs you’re getting. Something is wrong with the flow of filament out of the nozzle. Could be moisture or temperature or issues with the extruder. It’s hard to tell.

Your non-infill regions also look very over extruded. I’d try printing 20mm cubes with a variety of flow rates and see what happens. If you’re using their profile, is it possible that the filament you have is larger than specified?

edit: looking a bit more, things seem really blobby too. Something is not right. Is it possible the temp is wrong for this filament? What is it?

Yeah I think they’re counting NOAA as non-free since you couldn’t run their servers yourself. Which like, NOAA is doing the data collection and analysis themselves. I’m not sure that’s a fair classification. Maybe I’m missing something

Isn’t it just NOAA?

Almost all Wikipedia pages allow not only live edits but anonymous ones as well. It worked remarkably well until the hallucination machines arrived.

More details about the k-anonimity process. https://blog.cloudflare.com/validating-leaked-passwords-with-k-anonymity/

The short answer is that they download a partial list of passwords that hash to values starting with the same 5 characters as yours and then check if your password hash is in that list locally. This gives the server very little information about your password if it was not breached and more if it was (but then you should change it anyway), making an elegant compromise

If you’re okay programming, something like fenics or moose probably does what you need! There are GUI viewers for the results, but the equations and model setup are defined with code (usually python). You would import your mesh/cad generated with another tool

I’ve had a lot of regressions, almost entirely around graphics drivers. I have like the worst case scenario. A 4K laptop (also dell) with an nvidia GPU in a prime configuration with the Intel graphics. Until very recently everything was laggy or unstable or unsupported. With recent drivers things have been more fine.

I also have weird audio issues like the card sometimes selecting a non available profile when disconnected from HDMI (hence why I asked about that)

CUPS has been really stable for me. Idk

Also yeah, docks seem to expose all of the bugs, even on windows. For the longest time I couldn’t get my keyboard to work if booting with a dock, and I still have weird resolution issues with booting while connected sometimes.

On an entirely different note, as far as I’m aware secure boot should have zero noticeable performance impact, and if it does, that means that something is going horribly wrong. Guides tell you yo disable secure boot because it’s annoying/semis complicated to administer and makes installing out of kernel modules harder (like the nvidia drivers), not because it has a performance or stability impact on the system.

Hmm. If it’s persistent across installs then something is definitely borked. My next step would be to download the livecd images of a couple distributions and see if the audio works while booting into any of those live environments (ventoy makes this really painless)

When you reinstall, you’re not keeping any configuration, right?

If none of the livecd images work I’d liveboot windows and see if audio works there. If it doesn’t, definitely a hardware issue. If it does, then see if it starts working under Linux again. If it doesn’t, then something is incredibly cursed and I’m out of ideas since it used to work there.

Edit: a stupid question: do you have the right output profile selected for the card. Something like stereo duplex?

That sounds like a pretty cursed occurrence. As you get more familiar with the structure of your operating system, I’ve found diagnosing and fixing weird issues gets a lot easier. You also get a better sense of what component is responsible for what and what commands let you investigate.

I think it’s reasonable to say that weird issues don’t stop though. At least for me. I always had tons of weird occurrences on windows too. What feels different about Linux is that I try and figure them out because it’s possible I can. Where on windows I would just accept that x was broken.

For a random question in case it’s the same no audio bug I encountered recently: Do you happen to play audio via HDMI? And does any audio sink (speakers, etc…) show up in sound settings?

Also do you happen to be using an nvidia gpu (and if so, is it a laptop with an Intel CPU as well?). That freezing issue used to happen to me all the time with some games and it was entirely due to nvidia’s Linux driver bugs.

In addition to what dual_sport_dork said, it looks like you’re overextruding a bit, which might be causing the head to run into the curling up regions

This is what I’ve been going through, sold as teaching rust to people who already know other languages. I’m not very far in at all, but it seems decent? https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/

It looks like this was testing in tension? I image most of the improvements would happen in shear. Since that’s where you make the crack more tortuous. In tension the increase in contact is very slight.

This is a really fantastic explanation of the issue!

It’s more like improv comedy with an extremely adaptable comic than a conversation with a real person.

One of the things that I’ve noticed is that the training/finetuning that’s done in order to make it give good completions to the “helpful ai conversation scenario” is that it flattens a lot of the capabilities of the underlying language model for really interesting and specific completions. I remember playing around with gpt2 in it’s native text completion mode, and even with that much weaker model, it was able to complete a much larger variety of text styles without sliding into the sameness and slickness of the current chat model fine-tuning.

A lot of the research that I read on LLMs is using them in the original token completion context, but pretty much the only way people interact with them is through a thick layer of ai chatbot improv. As an example for code, I imagine that one would have more success using an LLM to edit your code if the context that you give it starts out written like it is a review of a pull request for the code, or some other commentary of a form that matches the way that code is reviewed in the training data. But instead of having access to create that context directly, we have to ask for code review through the fogged window of a chat between an AI assistant and a person discussing code. And that form of chat likely isn’t well represented in the training data.

I think something that contributes to people talking past each other here is a difference in belief in how necessary/desirable revolution/overthrow of the U.S government is. Like many of the people who I’ve talked to online, who advocate not voting and are also highly engaged, believe in revolution as the necessary alternative. Which does make sense. It’s hard to believe that the system is fundamentally genocidal and not worth working within (by voting for the lesser evil) without also believing that the solution is to overthrow that system.

And in that case, we’re discussing the wrong thing. Like the question isn’t whether you should vote or not . it’s whether the system is worth preserving (and of course what do you do to change it. How much violence in a revolution is necessary/acceptable). Like if you believe it is worth preserving, then clearly you should vote. And if you believe it isn’t, there’s stronger case for not voting and instead working on a revolution.

Does anyone here believe that revolution isn’t necessary and also that voting for the lesser isn’t necessary?

The opposite is more plausible to me: believing in the necessity of revolution while also voting

Personally I believe that revolution or its attempt is unlikely to effective and voting+activism is more effective, and also requires agreement from fewer people in order to progress on its goals. Tragically, this likely means that thousands more people will be murdered, but I don’t know what can actually be effective at stopping that.

I understand that you have principles. I have principles too. But it sounds like your principles are at least partly based on a personal purity, which is what I’m arguing against.

The idea that by voting for kamala, you’ll be personally tainted by her actions. And that by not voting at all, you avoid this taint.

There’s a good argument in my opinion for not voting if you actually believe it will lead to the best outcome. Like for example that if enough people don’t vote it will cause our leader/parties/etc to do something better. I just don’t think this is true. And if it’s not true, what remains is a purity argument, which I find selfish, since it prioritizes your internal view of yourself over what happens to other people in the world.

I’m also absolutely in favor of third party candidates that push issues and the electorate to the left. I just think that generally they should drop out at the point when it becomes clear that they aren’t going to win and endorse the person closest to them on the issues.

The other option is that they simultaneously believe they need your vote, but also know that they would lose more voters than they would gain if they did what you’re asking. It’s not entirely clear that this is what’s happening, as there’s not been much indication that Kamala believes what Israel is doing is horrific, but it’s a very real possibility that you aren’t including. And in that case, voting for her remains the best you can do, since you not voting for her won’t convince the other people who’s vote she would lose. It will just lead to trump being elected.
