The world’s most popular document database is now the world’s most versatile developer data platform.

A type of ML model that is trained on a broad dataset. These models are generally used for general or broad use cases, and may be adaptable through fine-tuning. Foundation models like the ones powering OpenAI’s ChatGPT, can cost hundreds of millions of dollars to train. The term was coined in Aug. 2021 at Stanford. —— Foundation models are near universally based on Transformers.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls Always ensure that 3D objects are solid PartDesign Workbench will notify you of any operations that would prevent the model from staying solid. Part Workbench has a Check Geometry tool, which can check for further defects Ensure your dimensions align properly Dimensions are vital: 1 millimeter in FreeCAD is 1 millimeter in real life Control degradation of the model, during transformation w/ the slicer (FreeCAD file -> a G-Code dialect) No printer will be able to directly create a 1:1 replica of the 3D object.

Source Tech Lead Focus on partnering with a small amount of Engineering Managers (1-3 generally) Guides approach and execution of technical bits, generally in a focused area Tech Lead Manager may also exists, but is on the Engineering Manager track (not Staff-plus) Architect Combines technical prowess and organizational leadership knowledge to guide direction, quality, and execution in critical paths Solver Digs very deep into arbitrarily difficult or complex problem areas Very strong technical skills are necessary Can focus on a specific area for an extended amount of time, or can jump between “hotspots” Right Hand Generally only present in very large organizations Acts as an extension to an executive, providing additional processing/bandwidth Generally acts on the scope and authority of whom they’re assisting
