In a minimum energy building, there are almost no windows that open, by design. Obviously not a design that took things being hot for a longer time into account. It is great for winter, with much, much lower heating cost as the internal air exchange system comes with a really good heat exchanger and things do not get stuffy in winter at all. But with a longer heat-wave, the design becomes less suitable.

The one window I have is in a place where I cannot use it for this purpose. I have two doors to the roof terrace and I use one for the AC, but that comes with a host of complications. I do have these under control, but it did require some ingenuity and some experimentation and measurements.

Irrational belief in technological progress just makes you look dumb. More so when you are loud about it.

Oh, and incidentally, all those "Shor's algorithm" records are fake. They are done with the dishonestly named "compiled Shor's algorithm", which means the compiled knows the end result and there is no branching in the code. Number if actual, honest quantum factorizations at this time: None at all. And that is at the very least 30 years in.

What an insightless comment. Well, done, you disqualified yourself.

What relevance does "knowledge" have today? Right, not a lot. But what about skills? Pretty critical, IMO. Yet you test for knowledge, not for skills. Hence "useless". This is obviously simplified but covers the gist. If you teach, you should _really_ understand that.

Liar or idiot. Take your pick. That person is not even smart enough to ask an Artificial Idiot about this.

No. Try that deranged statement in a courtroom some time.

That would require, you know, actual insight and maybe even experience! That is soooo 1990. Today we just make statements of fact with no clue what the facts are and how things actually work.

Yes. I am fortunate that I am doing academic teaching and doing in a dynamic field (IT security) so I can compensate for some things and select myself what I teach. But when I do a reasonable course, certainly not a great one and students tell me "most interesting course of the year", it becomes very clear that something is deeply wrong.

Indeed. Business people seeing a chance to get rich immediately lose all cognitive power to see reality.

Indeed. Common good vs. some assholes getting even richer. That said, there is an open Swiss model (Apertus) as well.

Is China really good at this or is Anthropic actually pretty pathetic?

My guess would be the latter, I may be wrong.

Being deeply stuck in the past is not something to be proud of.

I used to allow pocket calculators. You know what? They were a _detriment_ and made people slower. Sure, I only have entropy estimations and size estimations in there and I do not require an exact answer, but after I saw CS students struggle to do a binary log on a regular calculator, I have stopped allowing them.

Yes. I do not share the irrational fear of AC. I do note that the mobile ACs I have (redundancy is an engineering way-of-life) are currently all sold out. I got mine very cheap in the winter, dynamic pricing and foresight for the win.

What I do not have is an apartment where I can do a non-improvised installation. On the plus-side, because my apartment is minimum-energy, I can delay running AC by a few days when it starts to get hot and according to the usual estimates, the AC takes about half the energy it would on average for the apartment size.

No surprise. You probably had to find an intermediate bank that had some agreement with another bank in Europe. Although with Canada growing closer to Europe, that problem might go away in the future.
