Comment Re:Safety reasons (Score 1) 151

That's an interesting link, thank you.
The "nuances or causal factors" do show up -- somewhat -- farther down that report:

It is sometimes less obvious when an electric burner is turned on or is still hot than it is with gas burners. In addition, once turned off, it takes time for an electric burner to cool. UL 858, Household Electric Ranges, which took effect in June of 2018, includes requirements for electric coil ranges to prevent the ignition of cooking oil. Compliance may be demonstrated by either not igniting cooking oil in a cast iron pan or keeping the average temperature of the inside bottom surface of the pan below or equal to 725F (385C). All electrical coil ranges being manufactured now must meet these requirements. Because ranges last a long time, it could be years before these safer ranges become common in US homes.

Comment Re:speaking of run-on sentences... (Score 1) 76

"You just have to ensure that your prompt uses terrible grammar and is one massive run-on sentence like this one which includes all the information before any full stop which would give the guardrails a chance to kick in before the jailbreak can take effect and guide the model into providing a "toxic" or otherwise verboten response the developers had hoped would be filtered out."
Is this example of terrible grammar intentional or unintentional?

Comment Re:Just one of many, many, many problems with hydr (Score 1) 58

Solid oxide fuel calls can generally "autoreform" hydrocarbon fuels into their elemental parts so they don't need to run on pure hydrogen. They can run on natural gas, ethanol, methanol, even some on ammonia which doesn't emit CO2 at all. I don't know if *this* fuel cell has that flexbility but high temp fuel cells generally have it.

Gaseous hydrogen, green or otherwise, is a terrible fuel and I don't understand how any reasonable person sees a future for it.

The school would rather see a child arrested than be the site of a mass shooting or lawsuit.

Setting aside your "or lawsuit", would you rather have a school be the site of a mass shooting than see a child arrested?

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Bemjamin Franklin

Yep. We all know that quote, and probably most of us agree with it.
There's a huge difference between "a little temporary Safety", though, and an absence of mass shootings.

Comment Re:Windows is not a professional operating system (Score 1) 220

The problem with absolute statements is they are disproven by evidence. The world is run on Windows, professionally. It literally makes the world go around and contributes a shitton to the GDP of nations the world over.

The problem with statements is they are disproven by "literally".
