Really common misunderstanding. I've spent years trying to correct people. I'm giving up. It's pervasive in the subtitling/translation/localisation industry

Pretty sure it does. Equilibrium is when Earth receives as much energy as it emits. If you increase the amount of energy going in, there is going to be more heating until temperatures rise to the point Earth is radiating an equivalent amount of energy out.

That's not quite right. While the root cause of global warming is obviously greenhouse gas, solar radiation absolutely has an impact. The amount of greenhouse gas sets how much heat the atmosphere can hold. The amount of gas we have now can hold a lot more energy, but it'll take decades for the temperatures to reach equilibrium point. Think of it as adjusting a thermostat and waiting for temperature to reach it. If we increase the amount of solar energy hitting earth , we'll be helping temperature go towards equilibrium faster. Equilibrium point is most likely going to be higher. And we'll trigger all the additional positive feedback loops like melting permafrost and shrinking ice cover sooner.

When I was a kid in the 90ies. Shame the hype kinda burned out.

What you need is Sponsor Block addon. It automatically skips past intros, summaries, sponsors, engagement reminders, credits, etc. And the rest I still watch at 2x speed because there's a lot of content to go through in order to keep up.

This is the post I wanted to see. It's all good to be outraged, but demand for a product doesn't disappear. Instead of discussing a problem in a vacuum, we can achieve more by educating people about alternative options.

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.
