They probably didn't save much time but you must think of the positive things mentioning the AI buzz word will have done for their funding.

That is quite funny I have a British accent and live in the US and I often worry that my accent comes across abrupt and un-friendly, especially in situations like that.

You’re phrasing this like it actually has some bearing on how land is owned in the U.K. This is just a quirk of tradition - for all intents and purposes the freeholder is the ultimate owner of the land.

Hi Rob! I have a request from an avid user of your visualisations in the Octopus Energy App. Could you please switch the y axis on real time data from Octopus Home Mini from Wh/min to just instant Watts? kWh/day makes sense on lar

Green tea in the UK isn’t a staple like black tea is but it is still quite common. All supermarkets tend to carry a good range of teas including green, jasmine, mint and chamomile.

The U.S. uses a Gallon measurement which is about 20% smaller than an international one so you have to factor that in.

That is not quite true - you’re right that it is not Tesla specific but many current EVs are far less efficient: https://insideevs.com/news/567087/bev-epa-efficiency-compari... Particularly German made ones, for s

In reality I don't believe that over-optimizing your online dating profile by lying is a major issue. If your objective is to use your profile to find dates, it's important to avoid misrepresenting yourself as it only delays the r

He's referring to the current animosity between the UK and Europe. Both groups frequently go out of their way to make life harder for the other. The EU proposing the English GMT would be unlikely in this climate. Also FWIW I think only

I’ve been loving iCloud Hide My Email. Every site gets a different disposable address. The fun part is when I do get spam I know exactly which site has sold my info. It is a handy way to know who to never do business again with.

So the bug told pilots the aircraft was lighter than it was. I wonder if that would have also factored into the fuel load calculations? It seems like it could have the potential for the crew to take off with less fuel than they need.

I find the hint that ChatGPT et al. need government regulation kind of bizarre. What would they mandate? “LLMs can’t be mean”?

I have ~1TB of photos and I liked the idea of hosting this on Digital Ocean, but it looks like a volume of that size would run me over $100/mo. I'll have to stick with iCloud Photos for now.

Mechanical ventilation with Heat Recovery (MHVR) mostly solves this. Air is actively exchanged with outside to regulate humidity from cooking etc but heat from the waste air is captured and used to warm the incoming air. These are now stand

The battery is warrantied for 120,000 miles or 8 years. The stated design life is 3-500,000 miles.

That's correct. It's like arguing that food is too expensive when you only eat premium take-out. For most people it's something you do maybe once a month.

I have a Tesla Model 3. Your reasoning only holds true if you assume that the alternative to buying an electric car was to buy no car at all. In reality if it wasn't a Tesla it would have been an ICE car in a similar market segment suc

There are plenty of tariffs that offer cheaper home charging than that. I get 6 hours of 7.5p/kWh. On a 7kW charger that's enough for a 0-80% charge every night.
