fabricator

So I can't pay a fabricator $200 to make one, then slap a $400 A15 board in there. The totally open laptop, ladies and gentlemen!

Does the future mean a home-fabricator as a household item, where we can create tools as well as edible items? I can imagine it would cut down on waste.

MakerBot's "Cupcake CNC" fabricator is based on RepRap hardware and software. MakerBot also sells RepRap parts in their store.

Once you achieve the necessary level of automation, you only need one fabricator that can build the next.

They're pretty basic on the scheme of things, they're just very costly to get to a fabricator in the short timeframes the community wants.

In the fabricator world they seem to get an account with one of these companies, order various bits all month long and then get a roll up once a month or so on their purchases. That doesn't seem to be an Amazon compatible model yet.

Metal fabricator of my acquaintance probably can't have an MRI, as he's got too many metal splinters floating around his body. So probably true, though I don't know about tattoos...

Look at the inflated "45 minute" claim[3] and the use of intelligence from "Curveball"[4], a known fabricator. This is not an administration building a case for a necessary war.

Yes. If your household fabricator can make arbitrary machinery, you can say "Make me a uranium-235 enricher."

I'm a metal fabricator by trade, every day my mind boggles that we have tamed electricity to be able to fuse metals flawlessly. The number of things that have to come together to support the modern world is "magic" to me in a romantic sense.

But if you're in hardware, this might be significantly cheaper and/or faster than working with a plastics fabricator for creating simple prototypes. I know of one company here in Atlanta that will probably jump on this thing right away.

You could happily make your own case or pay a fabricator to do so, but the case in the campaign is injection molded, so you'd likely pay a lot more to do so. The focus of this laptop is really on versatile and hardware-hacking-power, not on raw performance.

This is like a professional fabricator complaining that the 10 hour welding course at night-school doesn't cover welding aluminium. I don't think anyone was under the impression that this was a replacement for a an engineering degree.

Because Jonah Lehrer has proven to be a plagiarist and a fabricator on a large number of occasions. On top of that, he demonstrated that he does not understand that he has a responsibility to the truth and accurately representing the world to others.

And with an "actually open CPU," how does one verify that the silicon in the final package is actually what's in the design and that no "closed and secret designs" have been added by the fabricator?

In other news massive factories that use steel paid less per pound than your local railing fabricator, and General Mills was paying less for a bushel of corn per pound than we pay at the grocery store. If only these giant corporations paid their fair share we wouldn't have to be subsidizing them at the hardware and grocery stores of this fine nation.

And our nascent dynamic fabricator pipelines? Robo-knitting definitely by 2040?

As we see in the referenced article, it moves from the modified "self-plagiarism" to "plagiarism" quickly, by the fourth paragraph when it says "Four excruciating months later, Jonah Lehrer is known as a fabricator, a plagiarist, a reckless recycler." Now the word plagiarism is screwed because of irresponsible articles conflating contract violations with plagiarism.
