It's fine not to give them public credit for in-house only things, but in this subthread we're speculating about whether Llama 2 would be useful to them, which does depend heavily on the quality of their internal models.

I also live in a "centennial home" (built between 1900 and 1920) in a "historic city" (Boston). Window units are very common here; I don't see what's laughable about them? How would a masonry building make a w

Some AC units fit in other kinds of windows, or can be modified to. My bedroom has horizontal sliding windows, and a few years ago I sorted out how to put a 16" unit in: https://www.jefftk.com/p/air-conditioning

Thanks! Are window units illegal in Europe, or just not popular?

> People legitimately can't afford air conditioning. A small window unit is ~$160 and will last for years. If it's 5,000 BTU with an EER of 11 we should expect it to draw 454W (5,000 / 11) on a hot day (35C/95F, 50%

If it were just that then taking the tests three times at once would have a similar effect. Instead, it's mostly that you're measuring a quantity that's varying over time, and more samples gives you more chances for one of t

The tests are much more likely to successfully diagnose you if you take them near your peak viral load. Multiple tests over several days gives you more chances to sample near that peak.

Many startups raise multiple rounds, so I think you're double counting? Don't you need to either divide 16,464 by the typical number of funding rounds or only count, say, series As?
