Futurology Today

Between AI, voice cloning, and modern CGI I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a real computer-generated talk show host.

Note this post evaluates Linux systems. Microsoft presumably has a different, hopefully better, implementation.

The light in the Bambu Lab P1S is nice, but not very bright. It can be hard to see what happens when printing in black or to check the nozzle. I saw some youtuber upgrade his setup and I started to look around for what solutions there are. I found the BL LED mod by Dutch Developer and it looked like exactly what I wanted. I simply ordered that and a cheap LED strip. I had a LED driver already.

The parts assembled easily. The frame was also created by Dutch Developer and printed perfectly in PETG.

Sticking the LED strip to the frame was also painless.

I ripped a lot of xhtml files from a crappy ebook reader online, how do combine these into a pdf?

Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by phone on Friday, days before the incoming US president returns to the White House, with both leaders vowing to take a positive approach to improving ties between the rival countries.

Xi said he hoped for a "good start" to relations with Trump, who in turn said "it is my expectation that we will solve many problems together."

Trump in the election campaign threatened China and other US trading partners with huge tariffs, but he has also said he is open to talks with Xi, a leader he has long openly admired.

The threat of a 10 percent tariff on Chinese products, in addition to existing tariffs dating back to Trump's first term, is driven by accusations that China allows fentanyl's chemical components to flow into Mexico and onto America where the drug causes 70,000 overdose deaths a year.

"We discussed balancing Trade, Fentanyl, TikTok, and many other subjects," Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social after their call. "President Xi and I will do everything possible to make the World more peaceful and safe!"

The US Congress passed a law last year forcing TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance to either sell the platform or close it by Sunday due to national security concerns, but Trump opposes the ban.

The law resulted from widespread belief in Washington that the highly popular app could be used by China for spying or propaganda.

Summary

An AP-NORC poll reveals skepticism about Donald Trump's ability to lower costs like groceries, housing, or healthcare in his first year, with only 2 in 10 Americans expressing strong confidence. Confidence is slightly higher for job creation (3 in 10).

Even among Republicans, less than half are very confident in his ability to address healthcare or food costs.

Health care remains a weak spot, with only 16% of Americans confident he can lower costs.

fuck, I really need to stop going to this community - I don't have enough content to keep posting 😭
