Like Acronis can do in the Windows world. My Proxmox Linux box is my router & HAOS VM, which controls my home lights, among many other things. If I want to do a full disk backup that's easily restorable without shutting the Proxmox host down, there is no officially supported way. A simple dd of the boot SSD onto a NAS will not be reliable while the OS is running live due to pending writes. The state of the target image would not be consistent, and possibly not bootable.

I haven't seen author's names in LLM generated code. I have seen signstures in LLM generated images.

Any LLM can probably rename your variables, function calls, etc. IANAL, but it may be difficult to prove if copyrighted code was used, if it wasn't just copy and pasted.
A big unresolved problem is the license of the code the dataset was trained on, also.

In the case of book authors getting ripped off, it was regurgitated unmodified, and thus easier to litigate. But LLMs could paraphrase also, and make it harder.

I left Europe for the US at 20. I just turned 50. I think my stress level would have been higher if I didn't move, because my career prospects would have been much more limited in Europe than Silicon Valley. This is all very personal, though. Stress levels in Europe may well be lower on average. But i don't think they are a significant factor in life expectancy differences.

There are always going to be some bad MDs, whether they are concierge medicine practicioners or not.

Infectious disease rates are higher in a system where so many lack access. This was evident with COVID-19. There were also far higher AIDS death in the US than Europe, before working treatments became available.
Most years, the ID rates are no a high ranking factor. But during pandemics, a non universal system does very poorly.

Those are all good points. The inferior access to healthcare is still an important factor, even though it's not the top one.

But is it being compiled while sitting down or standing ?

Age is not taken into account. These countries have different demographic profiles. So, what's the relevance of this data to life expectancy ?

I doubt it's stress. It likely has more to do with adequate funding. If healthcare is fully funded for everyone - not just emergency care - there will be a much larger number of providers employed vs the patchwork system we have where many people can fall through the tracks. This affects even people with good insurance coverage, or wealthy ones that can fully pay out of pocket. When public funding is reduced, such as through last year's OBBBA, many hospitals end up closing due to uncompensated care. In an emergency, if your ambulance has to drive an hour to the nearest hospital, you are much more likely to die than if it's 10-20 minutes away, regardless of economic status.

That heat pump as I understand is the top of the line Carrier for residential.

My house is 4600 sq ft. It's an addition so it's got 2 HVAC systems. There are only 2 of us in the house, and most of the time the secondary system is turned off - it's used only when we have guests, or when we use the home theater, which has its own zone. The secondary HVAC is still using gas. Carrier Infinity with 4 zones, 60000 BTU furnace.

The primary HVAC system is what failed. It was also 2010 Carrier infinity, but bigger 80000 BTU furnace, with 6 zones. We normally only cool/heat 3 of them when we don't have guests. The replacement of furnace with heat pump cost $22,300 parts & labor. We received $11,700 in HEEHRA and SJCE rebates due to being low-income. The HEEHRA funding was very limited, and is now fully exhausted due to the Trump administration. We finally got the incentive check last week. That softened the blow quite a bit. I was hoping the Carrier furnace would last at least 20 years. But the heat exchanger cracked. It would have cost $5000 to fix that one part. California is phasing out gas, so I would likely have been forced to replace with heat pump a few years down the line anyway. We have a lot of excess PV generation, so the add electricity usage is easily absorbed. Eventually, I will replace the secondary HVAC system with heat pump to. My guess is that it will make 20 years+ as it runs much less often than the primary.

Yes. These agents/LLMs really are optimized for coding, especially Python, which I have been using for my pet projects.

When it comes to chat bot and non-coding topic, it's a lot less accurate. If you are an expert on some topic and discuss it with the bot, you will quickly see that it falls short.

It's a Carrier 27VNA348A0003 .

It used 32 kWh between Feb 20 - 24 . A lot of that was the very first day. The gas furnace had died in January. We used a space heater for about a month, which consumed 680 kWh (measured by monitoring smartplug). It only heated the 6000 cu ft master bedroom, so the cats wouldn't be cold. All the other areas were quite cold, which is why the heat pump worked hard the first day. We were on vacation abroad during the furnace outage so having most rooms cold wasn't that big of a deal.

What kind of climate are you in ? This is San Jose which is pretty mild. But that week of the installation in Feb, it was unseasonably cold.

Which ones don't make noise ? How do they move the air

My bedroom was the attic growing up. It got painfully hot in the summer. Insulation was very poor. My father bought one of those AC units with a water tank just for my room. It was effective, but very noisy. You had to refill the tank every day. I'm sure it consumed a lot of electricity

Yours may not. But my Asus Z170-AR does have a PCI slot. And I have actually booted OS/2 on it, and restored files from DDS tapes written decades ago, through SCSI.

That would address the grid problem if your balcony has sun. But not the noise problem.
