Correct! This is how some advanced systems already work in multifamily, where one room's excess heat is routed to another rooms lack of heat -- "Variable Refrigerant Flow" or VRF

If your interview process is susceptible to AI then you don't need to hire for the job. Just use an AI and prompt it. The job you are therefore hiring for is now trivial. If it weren't, no amount of AI could pass your interview pr

Any heat used is better than no heat used. Water heaters that are also AC units do exist (a heat pump is an ac run backwards)

Happens at big companies a lot where there's a ton of excess people that need to be, but aren't, managed out. including a lot, if not all, of middle management as well as some of the highest performers

99.999% of jobs do not care about accuracy at the level of a technical writer. The ones that do will continue to hire them.

LLMs basically make this job irrelevant for 99.999% of use cases so this is unsurprising.

Yeah, it's just a sparkling OS. This is also a lazy criticism. If the definition of UNIX is "certified by The Open Group according to the rules" then it's a UNIX. Your issue is with the certification criteria, not Apple.

This is a lot of words to say that the field oscillations (i.e., particles) require very high energy. This shows up as the mass-(energy) of the particle, or stiffness of the field; take your pick. Whether you call that stiffness or mass is

"Servo" is a control method. You can control steppers using servo methods and it's pretty good actually. There are chinese encoder boards that'll do everything for like $10

To you, maybe. But I find the idea that enormous chunks of the mass-energy in the universe is totally noninteracting unconvincing.

Good news, the cosmological principle is almost certainly false since it leads to absurd results like dark matter and dark energy! Or if it was true once (CMB-era) it sure as shit ain't true now.
