OK, fair point. I was a bit naive. I was looking at it from an European standpoint. The nights are cool here and the houses are all made of bricks and very thick insulation. In those circumstances it is possible to trap the temperature. In my house the inside temperature is currently 22C/71F and outside 34C/93F. No AC needed.
So many people just turn on the AC without doing anything on preventing heat in the first place. Things you can do before the AC needs to help:
I guess it is a reference to champagne. If wine does not come from the region “Champagne” it is not allowed to be called Champagne but just white wine. Even if it tastes just the same.
I find it weird how so many companies are targeting for layoffs instead of expanding the company. You get an accelerator…
I have been trying in the past to do this myself but I stopped for the following reasons:
I ended up buying a domain name and hooking it up to a premium email service (fastmail, but there are plenty others).
Thanks! Good tips. I will save this comment for later reference.
Yeah exactly! Any recommendations?
I just bought 2x 8gb ddr3 for €25 so I can play games from 10+ years ago.
It always blows my mind how much water there is in the sea.
If not chrome, what is a good browser to use nowadays? I like Firefox but the last year I keep bumping in to websites that don’t work so we’ll on Firefox. Mostly web apps. So then what is left?
I did not know this. That really sucks.
And then it turns out that it was himself last month.
I’m not a US teacher but Europe. University. A lot of teachers work in the field part time and part time teacher. We need to have a regulated outcome for our students. How we teach is up to the teacher. If I see that students can just get an A by using AI, then I’m not doing my job. So yeah, I’m not only expected to change how I teach, I’m required.
Regulate? Who is talking about regulating? I’m talking about teaching and the way we grade students. As a teacher myself I know that a lot of students (and people in the workforce) use AI. AI itself is just a tool. You can set it to full auto but that only leads to you being not needed anymore. What I teach my students is to use it responsible and that the AI is being used so it adds value to you. And not let it replace you.
In my opinion the AI is better at some tasks than humans are. Some tasks the human is better. Make yourself useful in the spot that AI is underperforming.
Edit: like some other comment was saying, “you can’t chatgpt through a whole semester”. And if you could, you are on the road of being replaced. If you can’t, congratulations. You learn something the machine can’t do.
Shouldn’t the education system change then? If it is easy to get an A with a machine, should we then not focus on learning something that can’t be done by a machine. I mean, it has value to know things and know what to do insituations where AI is not available.
What helps me is the following :
I have an Odroid c2 as server with a chromecast (with Google TV) as viewer with Kodi. For videos it is stable. It can play 1080p x264 and x265.
The odroid c2 server runs DietPi (based on Debian).
For games I have no idea… If your interested in odroid, do not pick up the c2 but the successor the c4.
I switched to Smart Launcher. Tried all the recommended launchers for some time but none met my needs. After some time getting used to it and changing the settings, Smart launcher is the one.
I have no idea about Nim but have you checked Go (Golang)? It does the things that you need: single binary, cross compile, easy to learn (except methods on an object are a bit weird at first).
Next to that it is also stable, not dying soon and lots of dependencies to extend the language.
Anyway, if you like Nim, go for it.
I see portable ACs with a single hose as single room ACs. The room with the AC is cooling and pulling air from the rest of the house. That air is being replaced by outside air in those rooms.
But yeah, passive cooling is always good to do. Even with the best AC.
I have added a second hose to my portable single hose AC. Just a hose that is “hanging” against the input part of the AC so if there is negative pressure, the air will get sucked in directly into the AC.
