You are missing the most important question:

• Do you windows open toward inside or outside ?

There is an arbitrary minimum age requirement (35 years old) so it would be coherent to have a maximum as well.

The motivation behind OpenAI’s founding stemmed from concerns about the rapid advancement of AI and its potential risks. Many of its founders believed that without careful oversight, AI could become a threat to humanity, particularly if controlled by a small number of powerful entities. OpenAI aimed to provide an alternative by making AI research more open and accessible.

I think they got lost on the way

GM received more than $7 billions of subsidies and around $50 billions of “Federal loans, loan guarantees and bailout assistance”.

US auto manufacturers are getting their fair share of subsidies.

Wait, I messed up. It’s almost 40 years ago, not 50

I’m having a thought now.

Each time we see “company laid off X employees to replace them with AI”. Is it really to replace them with AI or is it just layoff because we are in recession that are disguised with AI to make it sound better ?

It’s been in the work for quite a while. The mayor of Paris announced that the seine will be open for swimming in 5 years … In 1988.

So it took a bit longer than planned, almost 50 years instead of 5 but the fact that they are opening it now is the result of these 50 years of continuous improvement.

They are going to put a tariff on flesh eating flies imported from Mexico instead

I moved to the Caribbean for a few years a while ago and I wanted to do something meaningful.

I saw that the trade between islands was quite low despite being very close, a lot of businesses are struggling because they lack the economy of scale that inter-island trade could bring.

Since it’s low volume it’s quite expensive and slow to move stuff between islands the traditional way (container)

So I thought that a small autonomous cargo boat going between islands would be a great idea !

I was quickly told that it was a terrible idea unless I wanted to be “recruited” by a cartel.

This is probably why cold water taste so good. It’s natural selection.

There is so many diseases carried in water so there is no doubt that people doing extra effort to get that nice crispy water from the spring will survive longer that people getting warm water from the nearest water body.

Probably, it should be quite efficient as well.

On the other hand reversible heatpumps work great with floor heating.

Having a cool floor during a heatwave is amazing, plus no noise,

The main problem here is not that toxic waste has been stored in mining tunnels.

The main problem is that there are tons of dangerous chemicals that need to be stored somewhere. It’s all residues from incinerating waste. Once we have all these waste what do we do with it ? Is there a better option than being buried deep in mining tunnels ?

We absolutely need to reduce the waste we produce.

Also, everyone should have a look at what happens to mine tailings. The prices of mining leaves begins hundreds of millions of tons of toxic material containing heavy metals like mercury, cyanide of arsenic.

The method of dealing with it is just to build a dam and store it on the surface. It contaminates the land, the water, sometimes the dam breaks and buries entire villages under toxic waste. No one really cares because most of the mining happens in third world countries, remote communities and because it is needed to feed the global consumerism way of life.

It depends on the kind of heatpumps, in a lot of cases the heatpump is installed to replace a boiler, reusing the radiators and hot water circulation already available.

Unfortunately in this case the heatpump cannot be used as AC.

By installing drivers do you mean: search the manufacturers website online, navigate through all the scam website to try to find the legit one, dig through the website to find your hardware, download a random executable file, execute it, select next next next, no I don’t want to install mcafee, next, install.

There is a plan, Trump is an idiot but a very useful idiot. If not him it would have been someone else.

About project 2025:

The plan, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, says that the weather service should “fully commercialize its forecasting operations” and focus on providing data to private companies.

It also calls for a “review” of the work of the National Hurricane Center. It acknowledges that the center provides important public safety information, but also says its data should be presented “neutrally” rather than in a way that makes points about climate change.

It’s much darker than what I thought. For me a mickey is a booger.

Not a YouTube channel unfortunately but there are several videos and documentaries about it.

The castle of Guedelon is exactly what you are describing.

In France a group of archeologists decided to build a full castle, from scratch pretending to be in the XIIth century.

A blacksmith is making the tools, they are chopping trees in the first forest around, extracting stones from a local carry, carrying on carts built by the Carpenter, making their own clothes …

It’s amazing !

Edit: here is an aerial picture of the castle in 2025

They are getting better at blowing rockets. The goal is a 24h turnaround, blow one rocket, bring a new one and blow it again in less than 24h
