At least my 3d printer was so inexpensive it’s silly.

I’m pretty happy that the engineering team that built it doesn’t need to worry about networking code and maintaining a networked device. Jappy that an open source community does it instead.

Yea, fof models X and S, they have a discrete GPU and can run steam.

That is a fair point.

I have at least some confidence that the system I would protect is better than the one any realistic invader would offer.

The behavior of attackers toward civilian population is another aspect: I want to ensure my family and friends don’t get subjected to the same kind of treatment as we have seen from various armies.

While I agree with you, a military force used exclusively for territorial defence is kind of a different animal to militaries used to project force in another country.

I think the reason Finland exists as an independent country today is a result of the theoretical ability to field 250-900k strong decently equipped military force. It is a comparatively expensive solution as we have implemented it, and there is an equality issue in an all male conscription, but as a former conscript and current reservist I don’t feel that the elder generations are taking advantage of me in this way. My father and grandfather served in post war FDF and great grandfathers fought in the war.

Even though I’m fine with the system, I do have a few caveats: the FDF currently employs professional military and volunteers in peacekeeping and other international force projection operations. I personally would have a moral objection in operating outside of Finnish borders in all but few situations.

I am happy to expand on the subject if someone has questions.

I don’t understand the innovation, I already run LLMs and stable diffusion on a laptop from 2011.

I have no doubt it could be run on my Android phone.

Little?

Da fuq why is a shitpost this well made, I love it

Putin is probably miffed as the signing of a defence cooperation agreement between Finland and the US looms, which would bring US weapons to Finnish soil on a permanent basis. This is a step towards practical implementation of NATO defense collaboration.

Technically yes, but in practice the goal is to make the practical arrangements implementing of Article 5 security quarantees possible. There is not much use of NATO support, if alliance forces can’t operate in Finland in a practical way.

I am sure there are new operational agreements of similar nature will be made between Finland and Sweden as well as Finland and Estonia. That said, there is already a significant degree of defence cooperation between Finland and Sweden.

Finland is also already part of the british led JEF, and I would be surprised if the Nato framework would not change the nature of that cooperation.

A prune juice perhaps.

An article which was quite well researched from what I could tell. I had no previos info on the subject, so I can’t estimate the accuracy. Worth a read if India’s domestic weapons development is your jam.

I feel personally attacked.

I have tried making a framework once, and was annoyed with myself for more than one of those reasons.

Real MVP

Normally I’d agree with you, but the article goes to great lengths trying to explain the concept as text, but it’s damn near incomprehensible to non automotive engineers until watching the video.

Isbthere a Q-tips collection somewhere? I can imagine my quality of life improving with tips from the literal god.

“Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled.”

Depends on where you are, gas use is very rare here. Anyway the energy cost is a negligible part, you can halve or double it and it won’t change the business case.

Because I have no life, I looked it up.

Bread in Finland is about 0.1 usd per slice Low quality cheese is about 8 usd / kg, assuming you need about 20g/portion that’s 0.16 usd. Total is about 36c per portion.

If we assume power consumption of 5kw for the whole operation and power cost of 20c/kWh, that’s 1usd/h

Assuming sales of 60 units per hour -one per minute, thats 60 usd of revenue per hour and 22.6 usd of non labor cost, it leaves 37.4e for labor, taxes, permits, tools, fuel.

It’s at least only feasible in high volume locations.

It is worth noting that the richest 1% includes everyone who makes more than 140k$/year.

I use gimp daily, but it is still far, far behind photoshop from when I was studying and that was pre 2010.

The biggest problem is the UI. The only major improvement was the transition from multi window to single window with tabs, around 2012 or so.

It feels like using a hammer with a purple dildo for a handle. I can do it after 10 years of getting the hang of swinging around the wobbly thing. Meanwile the rest of the world transitioned to battery driven nailguns and I’m still swinging my dilmer with a slightly more rigid handle.
