I learned from Mario that ghosts can only harm you if you look away. They never had guns, but I guess the same applies for that.

Trying to yes. I think it's model legislation, probably ALEC bs, if I recall CA tried to pass it and hasn't yet. Maybe a year back.

Well, that's the excuse at least. The law would have to effectively kill 3D printing. Is that the goal? Idk.

The kind that can be better made with $20 and a trip to home depot?

But what about real guns?

Oh, those ate okay.

I wonder how they intend to add DRM to a stepper motor.

reprap goes brrrr

Is that even necessary? Anyone with a CAD tool can recreate the 3D printed parts from a glance and a few specs.

It's literally a tube. Which—to be fair—is a "weapon of mass destruction" according to President Bush (the other war criminal president).

Just download the code from github and make a torrent: https://github.com/novatic14/MANPADS-System-Launcher-and-Rocket

Imagine spending thousands of dollars stockpiling assault rifles and ammo for your revolution only to have your entire milita wiped out when some nerd with a $100 homemade missile blows-up the UHaul you all piled in the back of.

Bite the hand that kills your neighbor.

Tests should be written from requirements. Using LLMs to write tests after the code is written (probably also by LLMs) is a huge anti-pattern:

The model looks at what the code is doing and writes tests that pass (or fail because they bungle the setup). What the model does not do, is understand what the code needs to do and write tests that ensure that functionality is present and correct.

Tests are the thing that should get the most human investment because they anchor the project to its real-world requirements. You will have tons more confidence in your vibe coded appslop if you at least thought through the test cases and built those out first. Then, whatever the shortcomings of the AI codebase, if the tests pass you can know it is doing something right.

Using an LLM to write tests and small components is still vibe coding.
