Then five minutes later, someone figures out how to make a 3d printable gun that bypasses the gun detector on the 3d printer. It's not like you're printing a whole gun; you're printing parts, most of which look nothing like a gun. How hard would it be to design an algorithm that takes a gun part cad file and then adds a bunch of extraneous pieces to it that can be easily removed? Just keep adding extra crap until the system no longer detects it as a gun part.

In most cases, absolutely. There are a few jobs I can see an LLM performing as well or better. Though, then those people would be roaming the streets and do you really want your insurance claim denied while you're out walking your dog or someone yelling about paradigm shifts to align synergies when you're just having a nice day at the park?

I know, but they want a solution implemented, that's a solution.

Doesn't matter. Has nothing to do with online.

You can run OpenCV on an RPi, it's just super slow, and you could probably use a cheap GPU chip to do it faster. You store the pretrained model on the device.

You may even get away with an asic designed for the model, though with that one I'm talking out my ass.

3d printing isnt shit except for ease of use. I can make a 12 gage slam fire shotgun in a couple hours with maybe $100 on a home depot or Lowes gift card. As a machinist and welder, I can make a whole lot more than that.

On the one hand, its moronic to think that limiting 3D printing will in any way affect ease of access to firearms. On the other hand, literally anything making it harder for people to kill or harm each other is probably for the best in the long run.

A comedian I watched a while back had a bit about if the government really wanted to stop gun violence, they'd put a massive tax on ready made ammunition. You really gotta hate a bitch to spend $5k on a bullet to kill them. Obviously this doesnt take into account making your own ammo, but the point stands.

Add to that the fact that some gun parts are not printable and have to be made out of metal. Printing an entire firearm on a $500 3D printer is possible but that gun will be good enough for 1 bullet, and probably will hurt shooter at that.

Also, if inmates can make a handgun out of whatever they have access at prison - 3d printing is the afterthought. Some parts can be bought in a department store, the others can be ordered online as a replacement parts. If someone really wants to make a gun themselves, 3D printing ban wont stop them.

with metal parts to make a working gun.

That's always convention "forgotten" in all these breathless "think of the children" arguments.

You can't fully 3-d print a working gun that isn't as dangerous to the user as it is to the target.

The work has all been done long time ago.

The designs and software are all open source at this point.

Truth. Unfortunately, so many people don't do 5 seconds of research unless you count "I've seen basically every youtuber that 3d prints talking about how awesome this one is" as research.

I wish more people would see that a company being a sponsor everywhere or a product being advertised A LOT is a huge red flag and probably not where you should spend your money. I'm basically at the point that I don't trust anything I see ads for at all - oh, you are wasting a ton of money on advertising? Your product is either markedly worse than the competition who isn't wasting that money, or you have the same product and are way more expensive. Either way, that's bad.
