    The point I’m making is there’s so much technological development in manufacturing that has to take place before you can even start, it probably wouldn’t happen any faster. Just the technology that builds the machines that builds the machines that build the chips is beyond the 1920s.

    Turing’s papers on computing were all pre-WW2 anyway.


  • There was a British charity, The Spastic Society. They became fairly high profile in the early 80s being involved in children’s magazine shows for fund raising. Often children with conditions would be featured. The intent was that featuring them would make the condition more relatable, but kids saw them more freaks to be mocked.

    It resulted in “spastic” / “spaz” becoming school playground taunts to the extent that the charity changed it’s name to avoid the term.




  • Inference of 3D models exists. Combined with a rule deck of what the machine is capable of (i.e. so tools aren’t broken) I think you could be very close to “prompt to object” prototyping flows — if they don’t already exist.

    Still might need a pair of hands to clean up.

    Now, how many botched tries are people willing to to pay the material cost of, who knows?

    Strawman centrists are drawn as people who think the right choice between genocide and peace is only-killing half. This is obviously nonsense, yet you’ll see it a lot even in this thread.

    A proper centralist is someone that disposes with political tribalism and instead chooses their position on issues individually. Sometimes they’ll agree with one party, sometimes another. It depends who has the better policy. They believe that no party has all the answers.

    I would say that if everybody did this it would be fantastic.

    However, they are rarer that rocking horse shit.
