Also, the LLM is just predicting it, it’s not selecting it. Additionally it’s not limited to the role of assistant, if you (mis) configure the inference engine accordingly it will happily predict user tokens or any other token (tool calls etc).

I’m not sure which technology Brother uses but it kind of sounds like a damaged OPC to me. The printer might have multiple of them for the different colors. I think in consumer printers the OPC is often replaced together with the toner as a single unit but again, I’m not sure what brother uses.

Black and white is more common in laser printers, less complex, cheaper and it takes up less room.

Laser printers don’t just shoot color particles on the paper like ink jet / piezo printers.

They “magnetize” a photo conductor so the toner particles stick to it and then usually transfer it to the paper using pressure and then fix it using heat. You can’t really do the first part for multiple colors at the same time so color lasers can get pretty complex to repeat this process for each color (CMKY, sometimes more).

So why not an ink printer instead?

• If you use them often they will cost you a lot. Printer manufacturers love ink printers because they can basically sell water (with a tiny bit of color) for the price of gold. That’s also the reason why they put you much effort into detection of original ink cartridges.
• If you don’t use them often, the print heads tend to clog and guess what the printers use to flush them? Copious amounts of liquid gold (ink).

Laser printers are usually lower resolution than ink printers and half toning is usually more difficult for laser printers. However, the results shouldn’t be THAT bad.

Marvel / DC super hero movies are boring besides some of the jokes. Every main character is basically invincible, fights are pointless.

Now let’s see Paul Allen’s hand shadow

My smartphone. Unfortunately.

I watched Spaceballs before I learned English and the jammed Radar joke can’t be translated to German.

Also a lot of the ZAZ movies had untranslatable jokes that I only understood once I watched the original English versions of the movies.

It’s different from IT support for e.g. my mom. It’s also more in the form of lectures and I might give a little IT support afterwards.

I volunteer at an “intergenerational meetup” and try to explain to older folks how computers and the Internet work. Every two weeks for 2 hours.

Did door knocking as a child to collect money for war memorials in Germany.

A little less, less speed means less energy and more time for others to react

For the people who need the adrenaline rush we could reduce the driving speed on the Autobahn but add something dangerous to the car. Maybe add a random chance for the airbag to activate or tires to explode.

I was a bit excited that the US squirrels are gray and large, we have smaller red ones in Germany.
