Is that Dropbox had a password manager service. Looks like everyone wants a piece of that pie these days, and the competition must be cut-throat.

Perhaps the 20 to 80 mbit packages most people in UK were stuck with were technically broadband. Just the kind of broadband you'd find acceptable twenty years ago, not today. Prices are still outrageous. Imagine paying 50 bucks for 20mbit if your fixed contract ran out.

Why not both though?

Transcription I'm on board with, but translation is often a hit and miss. A lot of the work I've seen is at the level of quality where I could have Google translated it myself if this is what I get.

I think you brought up the key thing here. UK doesn't need more Solar as much as it needs more storage. African solar panel won't do a lot to help with peak demand late in the evening.

The online articles I've seen advertised the option of starting meal prep before you even get back from home... More realistically, my dumb air fryer has options for drying stuff like mushrooms. Takes a long time, so operating remotely might not be a bad idea. I can imagine more flexibility with temperature curves changing over time. Maybe some kind of integration with home assist to let home batteries know you're about to use a lot of power and maybe don't try to sell extra to the grid operator?

Content creators I follow post regular updates. I keep up with projects, life updates, events. I'm actually pretty happy not having everything turn into politics. I see too much of that content elsewhere already. And I don't have algorithmic feeds, so I open the app up once a day, catch up and close. No infinite scroll engineered to get me angry.

Yeah, one less thing to worry about. At least as much.

Didn't mean to imply it's the fault of LLM inherently. Anywhere the suggestion comes from is valid. The problem is with availability of easy answers. There might be some additional problems with how authoritative on any given subject people believe LLM to be. Those rare creative people might have to argue with the combined sum of all human knowledge, rather than Craig from down the hall. There's a saying among physicists that science moves forward one coffin at a time. It's hard to give new ideas any traction when the majority of people in the field have a very particular set of ideas about the way things are.

In my experience, people stop thinking once a reasonable-sounding option is presented. If people get to ask chatGPT first, it's no wonder they converge on similar generic options, whether actually appropriate or not.

This would not stop western companies from using copyrighted material for research, so development can carry on. At the same time we can require that any Chinese models used in the west adhere to the same standards or gtfo.

Not quite the UK approach. Here the ceilings are insulated, but attics are full of holes for air to move. In any case, sun hitting the roof is not a major factor contributor to heating in winter.

But if it's just panels and no batteries, it's half the job. Right now we still need panels and energy providers pay well for extra energy we produce during the day. As more people produce, the savings from selling will decline. Batteries that let you produce in the day, use at night and trade on the tariff differences are the game changer. Profit while giving the grid more stability.

Before you reply to troll bait, have a quick look at their comment history over the last five years. Consider if engaging with a broken clock is worth your time.

Don't think they would roll the offer out before you passed the probation. And three months of pay doesn't sound like a great deal after likely relocation costs.
