At least in the UK, there's a massive move to heat pumps. The problem is that it's only for heating, through the usual central heating systems - so it just replaces the boiler. It's almost unheard of to have one for air conditioning. Usually people with air-con get a portable one that's only for cooling.
Pretty sure it's a small set of images of each type as well. It's probably easier for a dumb heuristics-based bot to beat it than it is for most people.
I've wanted to try out EVE Online for a while now. Never found the time, and it seems to be a bit of a time sink. Since I have no idea if I'm actually going to enjoy it or not, it never took priority.
These kinds of news make me want to find the time. Good job!
> How long is your context window that you missed that?
256K tokens. I suspect yours is about 20 tokens, because you forgot the bit right before the one you quoted: "_If it doesn't work out_, require a doctor's note."
> If you trust someone and they don't reciprocate and abuse it for personal gain, then there's nothing left to establish
Correct. Terminate them in this case. Or have a process to give them a second chance and then terminate them. Whatever works for you.
> Why should you be working on trust when you're the one being scammed?
Probably don't. Don't hire scammers. Hired one by mistake? Fire them.
> No, you're right, they should just get to sit at home as long as they want with no medical oversight until it gets worse, or they end up at the ER
I get sick between 0 and 5 times a year. I can't remember the last time I went to the doctor for any of those, but I can say it has been many years. Some times I have really bad allergies to the point that I can barely get out of bed for maybe 2 or 3 days. I don't need to see the doctor, I just need to find the right anti-histaminics that work for me for whatever pollen is causing it.
Here you have a person who you supposedly trust with things a lot more valuable than whatever a day or a week's worth of missed work amount to, and you need to make them get out of the house, maybe queue up for hours in the hospital or whatever, because you don't trust them when they tell you they're sick? I'm sorry, but I know who I find sicker in this scenario and it's not the person missing work.
How about not? If you think your employee is lying too much about being sick, perhaps have a conversation? Establish trust? If it doesn't work out, require a doctor's note, and eventually fire them.
If the problem is one of trust, work on that. Forcing a sick person to leave the house and expose themselves and everyone else along their way to new pathogens just because you don't trust them is hardly a net positive for anyone.
At this point I honestly think you're not even trying to have a good faith discussion, but I'll bite this last one.
> who is going to decide what has tremendous (real) value and what doesn't?
No one has to.
> And how are they going to force private individuals and enterprises to invest only in what has (in their estimation) value while at the same time ensuring that the level of investment permitted is sufficient to realize the value but not excessive so as to cause malinvestment?
They don't have to do that either.
Government is (or at least should be) in the business of ensuring better outcomes for the population that constitutes it, whilst reducing harm to as many of those people as possible.
Look for symptoms of things that are threatening either of those, and figure out a way to find balance.
Your argument reads a lot like "who is going to decide what a monopoly is and isn't? And how are they going to force private enterprises to break up when they are past that threshold?"
I think the first thing you should learn about HN is that there's all sorts of individuals on it. Reducing all of us to "the people on the venture capital marketing forum" is not helping your ability to understand what goes on here.
Exactly that. Their job is to manipulate me into believing I need something that has never missed in my life - enough for me to trade my own health (in the form of work hours, which I exchange for money) for it. Literally trying to convince me that a thing I never wanted or needed is worth dying a little in exchange for it.
> Speaking of rigid and binary thinking: do you think there's absolutely no value to LLMs and that every investment in them is malinvestment?
No, I think there is tremendous potential value in some areas.
> If it's so simple, why don't you explain how The Government is going to prevent private individuals and enterprises from investing in things that some people (who may or not be right) believe are worthless?
Honestly, I don't know.
How does The Government (which one?) prevent monopolies from forming? How does The Government prevent anti-competitive commercial practices such as dumping? How does The Government prevent any practices that are against the best interest of the people whom it's supposed to be representing?
