  • I’m a data engineer/architect and it’s the same over here, I get asked constantly “how can we stuff AI into this solution?”, never “should we consider using AI here? Is there a value?”, my view, people don’t understand their data and don’t want to put in the effort to understand their data and think that it’ll magically pull actionable insights from their dataswamp, nothing new, that’s been a constant for as long as I recall.

    Like I totally understand the draw of new and exciting, but there’s so much you can do with traditional analytics, and in my view you really need to have a good foundation before doing anything else.



  • I’m also thinking that way wrt to “we need more fast charging for EVs to work”, I recall that plugging into a standard outlet will get you something like 5-8 km an hour, slow charging is totally acceptable for most people’s usages. If you’re in an area where block heaters are the norm you already have outlets at parking spots, if I could commute to work and plug it in, covers most commutes in a 8 hour day, even those of us who rarely go in and live 70k away I’d be getting most of my range back. For the amount I drive, level 1 charging is more than sufficient.

    I think a compact with 2-300 k range would suit me just fine, would cover the odd longer trip and I’ll totally grab a rental for anything longer, like I already do it I need to move a fridge.














  • I have a large chunk of my colleagues who have little to no experience using CLI tools, and totally have found the last part to be true. In fairness, documentation is all over the place quality wise (I generally find Microsoft’s useful but I’ve totally had issues in the past with undocumented or vaguely documented features/dependencies). People will google their issues, and increasingly I’ve found it doesnt point you at the documentation directly, instead stack overflow or medium pages.

    I feel like there’s definitely some conceptual… Stuff for lack of a better word that’s an issue, I’ve seen a number of people focus on the execution instead of trying to understand what’s the issue and define it logically, when pressed they struggle to explain.





  • Just realised I misread, sorry about that, have a v2.4 not a 0.2, I’ll talk about my machine though, sorry about that!

    There’s less thermal mass on a lot of bed slingers, at least on my franken-prusa, it’s just the PCB and the build surface vs what like 3-4 kg of aluminum that’s the voron build plate.

    I have a 720 w 120vac heater on mine, it’s limited to run at 60% max (There’s documentation about max heating, don’t want to warp the bed) A v0.2 will heat up faster than mine, not even sure you would get much benefit from an ac heater at that size, the prusa heated bed is perfectly capable of hitting 120c no problem on 24 vdc in 5-10 minutes, 60c is super quick, been doing a lot of PLA on it lately and it’s pretty much at print temp after a quick bed and nozzle cleaning, totally imagine a 0.2 would hit print temps super fast. Still worth a heat soak imo, but depends what you’re printing, I don’t bother with PLA, petg, just a quick preheat and then I send it.
