The micro lathe has no compound, instead the spindle swings at an angle to create tapers.
Dr. Dan KillamParthenogensis (clonal reproduction of females) is pretty unusual. Corbicula fluminea is in an even smaller club: it is one of only a few species across the entire tree of life known to use androgenesis! They're hermaphrodite and reproduce asexually, but only the paternal genome is passed on, while the maternal genome is literally discarded out of the cell nucleus! This clonal reproduction has enabled it to become a notorious invasive species: where one hitches a ride, there can quickly be a LOT more in only a couple years! #clamFacts

I'm looking for ethical/copyright-safe training data sets. Common Corpus sells itself as that... but then I go read the paper and they include CC BY-SA scientific papers and GPL stuff from GitHub, and then in models trained on that dataset they proudly state:
> Only trained on open data under a permissible [sic?] license [...] By design, all Pleias model are unable to output copyrighted content.
Um, no?? CC BY-SA is not public domain, it's a copyright license. You can't train on CC BY-SA content and then claim your model is any more copyright-safe than whatever Google and Meta are releasing. It just means you're violating the copyright of people releasing content under open licenses only.
