The problem is that some of the block lists are just too eager on the blocking.

I don’t see how the author can claim that NextDNS or AdGuard are any better in that regard though, as they rely on the same lists. 🤦

Alcohol is a lot worse than “sleep, sloppy fighting and risky driving”.

I have high hopes for Matter but as it stands today it’s a pretty big mess and usability is generally horrible.

“O Brasil é dos brasileiros” soa a xenofobia. Xenofobia nacionalista não é muito melhor que vira-latismo entreguista.

HDR shines the most on OLED. Pun not intended. 😅

My point is that not all houses can be insulated externally. In fact, many cannot even if it would be technically viable.

I thought it was pretty obvious but happy to clarify!

Are electrical combis actually better than gas though? Sure there will be fewer emissions on the edge (the end user house) but it’s not nearly as efficient as a heat pump, which would put pressure on the grid, increasing the need for gas and coal power plants.

I’m wildly speculating here though, I have 0 data to back up this hypothesis.

I live in a conservation area where external insulation will be a hard sell. There’s a lot of such areas around, some a lot more restrictive than where I am.

Yeah I had a heat pump engineer come and do a survey and heat loss calculation, and the conclusion is that I would require 2 pumps to produce enough heat. I’d be looking at around 20 grand upfront for that, after the government grant being applied.

For that money I could probably replace all windows with triple glaze and add insulation, and come out a lot more efficient than replacing the gas boiler.

In fairness, that would also likely get the house ready for a single pump, and when electricity prices cease to be kept artificially high it will probably be economical to make the switch.

Odd way of phrasing this. It’s not like as you start knowing less about AI, your trust on it increases. It’s the other way around: the more you know, the less you trust.

I’m aware from a strictly formal logic point-of-view these are technically the same but the cognitive impact of how the message is delivered seems relevant.

you can pretty much see the sun most any day

I wish that were true. Rare are the days when it graces us over here with its presence.

Ah yeah of course. That makes sense, thanks!

Can you not just avoid the problem by not binding any end devices to the bulbs?
