“Sealed” is also a vague suggestion with HVAC. Every ducting join, every piece of equipment, all of it leaks. I shudder to think how much heating/cooling is wasted that way.

I kind of disagree with you, in that when I think about the standalone meanings of the words in each phrase, I think they do say the same thing.
The meaning of the words “You are welcome [to the help I gave you]” implies, to me, that there wasn’t actually anything to offer thanks over. You’re acknowledging their thanks, but telling them that they are welcome to take/use whatever it is you’re talking about. [EDIT: normally when someone tells me I’m welcome to something, I feel less compelled to ask and thank in the future. “You’re welcome to anything in the fridge”, for example.]
It does not imply, to me, that I would appreciate them returning the favour. That might be implied meaning in the phrase, but it’s definitely not what those words mean by themselves.
In any case, “You’re welcome”, “no problem”, “no worries”, etc… are all idioms that mean something different than what their individual words mean. The phrases as a whole carry a different meaning than the words themselves suggest.
NFTs do not solve the problem of proof of ownership. Nor can they. If someone steals it from you - whether by trickery, force, or any other means - it’s just as lost to you as any other stolen thing, digital or physical. (Not to touch on the fact that NFTs to date have just been URLs to web hosted media, i.e. ridiculously non-unique and insecure.)
Also, your whole paragraph about theoretical NFT replacement for DRM is just describing a different kind of DRM.
Agreed. Don’t make a threat - just make the GDPR complaint. Inform the company if you want. How many times have you remembered to follow up on one of those threats to see if you should still make a complaint?
It’s not infantilization. These bills are designed to prevent “one more hoop” design by the company to make it too annoying to unsubscribe. Your position assumes good faith behaviour by the company with the newsletter. That is absolutely not a given.
I don’t disagree that the people with money who are funding this kind of development don’t care about regulations or safety.
That said, the idea that they’ll do it out on the open sea or in space are absolutely laughable. Those ideas pitched so far completely ignore all the obvious engineering problems. Not to mention that going to international waters to avoid regulations means that the navy of that country you’re thumbing your nose at now has free reign on you.
In other words, AGI is what every layperson thinks of when people talk about AI. It’s (sort of) what you see in the movies.
LLMs, and every other AI technology we currently have, do not actually have any form of intelligence. They’re called AI because the sub-field of computer science that they arose from is called AI, and has been for decades.
Smart locks are also notoriously easy to bypass physically. They put a bunch of effort into software security and seemingly don’t put any effort into the actual lock design.
In any industrial context, a “robot” is short for robotic arm. Those things you see in footage of automotive factories.
They also don’t have any kind of AI. It’s just a regular (if specialized) computer in control.
Came here for this, thank you for your service.
“Just stop considering it scandalous” is a severe lack of imagination. Even if/when the stigma of “having a sex life” is gone, the great majority of people consider their sex life to be private. Video floating around that looks like you having sex is a very different thing to hearsay rumors.
Keep in mind that the exact same techniques could be used to sabotage adult relationships, marriages, careers, just as easily as teenage bullying. This isn’t a problem society can shrug away by saying sex should be less stigmatized.
That analogy relies on the reader having any idea what wire EDM manufacturing is. ;) Not exactly an everyday topic.
Iron would be a terrible metal for coinage, since it would shed rust all over everything after being handled. Some coins might be cast from iron (if it’s cheaper than alternatives, idk) but plated in other metals to prevent that.
Lol, then they would have to demonstrate that there were damages. The worst a TOS violation will get you is a ban.
It’s more because of the temperature differential. The more difference between the temperature of two objects, the faster they change temperature. A radiator with 50 degree water is ~30 degrees warmer than the room (or 80+ degrees for a steam rad), while cold water is going to be 10-15 degrees cooler than the room. Any colder and you need to use not-water so it doesn’t freeze. Condensation or frost is also a big concern to avoid property damage.
Meanwhile the C-suite are getting record compensation and stock buybacks. There is no “budget shortfall”, it’s just typical greed at the top that’s hoping the rank and file will swallow it.
I think OP is conflating the amount that a YT channel sees per ad vs the amount that YT would keep. These are not the same thing.
Plus, YT gets their share of every single ad seen every day. The economy of scale obviously is paying off.
It’s broken now? I’d say that’s a bold assumption that it ever worked in the first place.
Edit: to be clear, I mean that it is and always has been an impossible problem. The only reason it ever worked is because some broker company wanted it as a feature, not because anything compelled them to give original artists a cut. And that’s before you consider the question, “but how do you know the NFT was made by the original artist?”
