Yet, buildings that are being built today don’t have it, and you need to spend a small fortune if you want to have a split system.

I had a conversation with an older dude this May. It was +30°C in Germany and Germany doesn’t really do air conditioning. The older dude, while sweating bullets, was telling me that we don’t need to do air conditioning because we rarely have high temperatures.
It was +30°C in May. It was +30°C in May for the last 10 years. I think that dude will die of heatsroke, and till his very end he will believe that nothing ever happens and things are exactly the same as they were when he was a child.

I don’t feel like I’m getting through you, but I recommend you watch this video, https://youtu.be/V-a9VDIbZCU. It’s about very related problems, and the host explains the problem I’m describing in an entertaining way with visual examples.

because of the enormous privilege I have, one so big I can’t even recognise the problems they’re facing.

Well, I don’t recognise a problem, it probably doesn’t exist then.

For a lot of people in America, a lot a lot, all those people whom I am talking about, there is no such choice.
They’re in food deserts, they’re overworked to death, they don’t have skills, they don’t have equipped kitchens, they don’t have time to cook, they don’t have energy to do it.
It’s a bootstraps problem. How can I work good job and can happily spend an evening cooking a nice meal, but half of Americans can’t? Well, obviously because they’re lazy and probably stupid. Not because of the enormous privilege I have, one so big I can’t even recognise the problems they’re facing.

I am familiar with performance testing of complex product, I agree that it’s hard to overestimate the insane complexity of this process. But if anyone has both means and obligation to do it, it’s a megacorporation that weaseled it’s way into being a monopoly with an iron grip on the world’s infrastructure. If it wasn’t for that, I would agree that it should be a collaborative effort, but when you’re monopoly you don’t get to blame third party on your unilateral decisions. “I just changed everything about the infrastructure that I forced you to operate under, now your shit doesn’t work and it’s your fault actually”.

but without it, Windows 7 would have suffered the same fate as Vista.

Alternatively they could test their shit in advance. It’s not like Microsoft is too poor to afford an array of average computers and a dozen of testers.

You either an llm, or don’t know how your brain works.

Helium is very finite and very leaky. If you want flying ships you need something else.

What made you think of this idea?

The one where you aren’t frustrated by the usage of it.

Yeah, you need to be really brave to setup your system incorrectly.

You’re doing something wrong, maybe ask someone knowledgeable for help with your system. It doesn’t happen to other people.

I love George very much, but he was a comedian, and you linked his comedy show. Brilliant, like everything he did, comedy show.

I feel bad for people who are duped by the scam artists. But on the other hand, scam is such an integral part of the US life, recognising it is an essential skill by now. So if you have enough money to be scammed, but didn’t learn how not to get scammed, it’s at least a little bit on you at this point.
That being said, nobody is safe, unfortunately, you can be as smart and as informed as possible, they still can invent a scam that will work on you specifically.

You might afford too much malice to something that might be just a generational incompetence and total lack of care. Smart kids don’t increase this quarter’s profits, therefore are irrelevant.

Yeah, it’s one of those thighs that we all need to get more of, it never hurts.

I mean, pigeons have more than one hole even before the theorem gets applied

Obese commenter @[email protected] with no friends and social life, who recently discovered a huge wart on his nose, and who just remembered that nobody likes him, left a comment on a post recently.

Oh yeah, you absolutely can test it.
And then it gives you (and this is a real example, with real function names removed)

find_something > dirpath
…
rm - rf $dirpath/*
do_something_in_the_dir(dirpath)

And it will work, but on a failure of a first question, instead of failing gracefully it wipes your hard drive clean.
You can find shit like that on the regular Internet, but the difference is, it will be downvoted and some nerd will leave a snarky comment explaining why it’s stupid. When llm gives you that, you don’t have ways to distinguish a working code from a slow boiling trap
