These mini split inverter units seem to be good for +/- 1 C, but the 2 C swing can feel quite substantial. PID control seems to be lacking overall, the control laws seem to be more basic. In particular, my unit waits until temperature

Oops, we accidentally included brigading related content in our training dataset. Better exclude that on the next run. And hopefully that solves it? Brigading is where a bunch of people on a forum team up and try to achieve a shared goal to

Is that the nice thing about religious faith? Polytheism seems somewhat more tolerant of others. And religious pluralism takes in one step further. I am sure about few things, but it seems to me that monotheism and religious exclusivism at

The author of the work that John Carmack is referencing is named Musashi, which is also the (coincidental?) name of a WW2 Japanese Yamato class battleship, which is quite fitting. Musashi the battleship having met its end at the hand of car

Paint everything white! Why stop at rails? Mostly because it doesn't stay white and looks bad. But it doesn't stop people from painting their siding white, for example. Why paint the sides of the rails? Well you can paint the tops

"we all more or less look the same in gym clothes" Maybe my brain works differently than the author, but I'm surprised at this statement. Gym clothes don't change recognition for me, it's about the face, body, postu

What does "simulate exactly" mean? To me, exact simulation is not so much an impossibility as a nonsensical concept. What subset of reality are we simulating, and to what degree of precision, and with what certainty? An "exac

Just when I thought sama was irredeemable, then this.. it's easy to hate the guy, this makes it much more difficult for me. An apology means a lot, I appreciate it. And hope that it can mean change.

I used to attend elementary school on a military base. I didn't feel like a human shield at the time, then again I was more naive and had less life experience than I do now.

Uh oh, that toilet looks pretty heavy, how much does that thing weigh? Will the extra weight be worth it during reentry? Or will the crew push the whole thing out the airlock on the way home? I wondered why the Artemis crew module weighs tw

Nice, but maybe you need to travel more! The USA and Canada is not representative of the wider world. Also, demand elasticity in USA/Canada suburbs is again not representative. So we're not proving or disproving anything by focus

While we're at it, let's think the rest of the way through, and consider the marginal effect that additional transportation cost has on price and therefore both the supply and demand side, shall we?

There seems to be some confusion around the basis of morals. Once you are in power and you have things arranged the way you want, you claim that violence is not the answer. Otherwise, practically speaking might makes right. So for Greenland

From the 1600s to immediately after WW2, Battleship meant roughly the same thing, not "fast armored ship with big guns", but literally "Ship fit to stand in the line of battle". So yeah it's not a WW2 fast heavily a

Plenty of people use Joules or rather kilojoules or megajoules or even gigajoules for various purposes. Watt hours is saying, how long will my personal battery pack last me that powers my 60 W laptop? Which is also fine in that context.

I'm not sure if people realize this, but Iran suffered more than any other nation during WW2, including Poland, Japan, the Philippines, China, and that's saying something. As a neutral country, I believe they have had something li

I call this the "judgement day" scenario. I would be interested if there is some science fiction based on this premise. If you believe in God of a certain kind, you don't think that being judged for your sins is unacceptable

But if we own real estate, we see the limitation and destruction of housing stock as value creation benefiting own personal assets. From that perspective, reducing this sort of low cost housing makes perfect sense. Generations of young peop

The cartwheel fails are pretty brutal, it never learned how to catch itself and break its own fall. Cartwheel is a remarkable demo, I initially thought it was a joke and fake until I saw the blooper reel. Now I half believe it.

This is one of those cases where we fly by and don't think much about it because we live in a plentiful environment. The more detailed we get, the more we realize that everything has a cost, and wasting water is not free as in beer. Ha

That is too funny. So we crash the car while distracted, filming the demo for AI powered voice email we do during our commute, and "Judges love the demo". Pretty funny when nobody gets hurt, not so funny when we rear end a family
