I have been paid for and paid for CAD and other impacted engineering products including software. AI is unfair… How?

I can see some issues with copyright, and I acknowledge it will upset economies. But being able to ‘automate’ photo to 3d, and so many other tools that enable me so much to do things that wouldn’t have happened before, it’s unimaginable to many around me. Change is scary, strap in.

I tried Meshy and Trellis and Hitem. Next I’ll try printmon.

Hitem has the best free option and portrait mode. Made some great busts.

Meshy looked great if cartoony with its model 6, but only let me download from model 4, which was a surprise and made monsters.

Trellis was in between and I ran out of huggingface tokens quickly.

I’d use hitem all day but not interested in paid subscriptions for my passing hobby. Hoping Bambu is handy with printmon again, though I expect it may be proprietary.

Also, all needed some cleanup, Bambu could fix slice and print but not adjust details and cuts. Started with Blender but the interface is hard for a CAD person. Switched to using Meshmixer, which works great, and just using Bambu to do a final fix of the stl before slice. Make solid is a helpful tool in Meshmixer if you get a good looking but imperfect stl, but you have to be careful to avoid losing detail.

Thanks, I’ll try printmon next. Any hidden limits or fees?

Good point. Can only trust the device and service as far as the company. And nobody is giving good reason to trust Cape.

Thanks for the feedback. For clarity, Cape is offering a GrapheneOS installed out of box to the user for a surcharge. This is what connected the title: https://www.cape.co/blog/cape-supports-grapheneos

You’re right. I think the advice stands, but it’s a rougher position.

You’re getting good advice here, especially @Doomsider@lemmy.world

2 months isn’t that long and you should keep your head up and keep trying. Discouragement and lack of effort are the enemy.

I would add, consider your target industries. Different industries have different cycles and levels of available positions. If you’re mostly looking in retail, this might not be the right economy or time of year, etc. One industry that usually has high demand and might overlap with psychology is health care. Assisted living, home health care, and many related non-medical care environments have consistent staffing challenges and don’t require specific degrees in nursing or medical, etc. I paid my way through college that way and learned a lot of life lessons, including the reasons that work isn’t for everyone. YMMV

There are probably some other under employed unglamorous jobs in your area if you look with fresh eyes. And as others said, volunteering some free time could be a win win, doing stuff keeps the spirit up and being involved creates opportunities.

End of life is not a plan, and not a plan to suggest to others. Get some help, and stop offering such advice.

Do you think it’s poor branding in Maduro’s part, or branding that got applied to him for other purposes?

How do you see the impact of the oil resources impacting this as compared to Peru or El Salvador?

I remember, surprisingly, wondering wtf. "It was just a garish choice, in case somebody out there liked ugly bright red and yellow.

The ‘Fluorescent’ theme was also pretty ugly, but it didn’t have a catchy name, so I’ve never heard anything about it."

@pluralistic hangs out on Masto and shares his weekly posts and updates.

And he’s right. Corporations enshittified the internet.

Precision and volume are the key metrics. They have precision here, but it looks like they won’t get volume.

“E-beam lithography machines cannot produce chips at a large scale like Dutch company ASML’s DUV and EUV lithography systems, but they excel in the testing stage of production, offering high-precision circuit patterning and design flexibility. Priced lower than imported machines, Xizhi can pattern circuit lines as narrow as 8 nanometres, with a positioning accuracy of 0.6 nanometres – matching international standards.”
