Maintaining vacuum is difficult and most likely more expensive than just using a cheap energy source
For example, a solar salt distillation system can be totally passive, even if slow and space inefficient: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_still
If the goal is evaporative distillation, it makes no sense to use a process that begins with filling and conaminating the entire system with contaminated water
You’d have more success keeping the container clean (full of air) and pumping all the air out of it, which is still probably less efficient than other means like boiling
First suggestion is impractical. Not going to be able to memorize 100 names to look up and research later
Second suggestion should already be happening, but doesn’t capture the desired use case.
The use case is this: in physical life, there is a gradient of “boundaries/leashes” to match maturity and development. For example, the gradient of movie ratings, or:
We could argue about whether a gradient is too steep or shallow, but the point is that one exists.
In contrast, digital in many ways is very often all-or-nothing
Not saying digital should be “gradient-ed” in all cases, that leads to tone-deaf rules and bad security practices. Just trying to show what the problem is
I think there is a difference. Because software is so flexible and quick to build, it’s orders of magnitude easier to build something known and understood.
A promising startup with its systems in a knot, but their initial team is still on retainer? Brains can be picked, abstraction boundaries placed, surgical rewrites deployed. Despite the mess, they still understand it, and development can expand.
It remains to be seen if AI-generated code is recoverable, if any existing strategies can be applied so humans can contribute, or if the company is forever beholden to AI providers to release a better AI to manage/improve what they’ve already got.
Then tell her the only way to log in is via email magic login links?
Edit wait that won’t work, some services send “password reset links” that don’t log you in
Perhaps a lighter/reflective color can keep its temperature lower for longer if you think you might leave it lying under the sun? Overheating damages the battery
What did you go over?
That depends, people can be smart but malicious, non-coorperative, or selfish.
The prisoner’s dilemma shows that there are systems where individually, the “smart” individual thing to do is globally non-optimal.
Even smartness and altruism alone isn’t enough. Medical professionals are smart and out to help others, but any ER doc/nurse will tell you they have limited trust in their patients (rightly so in the real world).
Does “everyone is smart” also include both “altruism and cooperative trust in others”?
Can that barrel hold fluids? B/c then what about the ocean or even the atmosphere? (Though it would take a while)
Could’ve held one rod end in each hand, letting middle of rope ladder hang down for standing on, like stirrups
Alternate left/right and you can step in any direction into the air
“never see addressed”? What do you think currently happens in (real, non-hypothetical) cities with good bike infrastructure?

Oh look, emergency vehicles work even better on bike infrastructure than on car infrastructure
Bicylists and pedestrians can’t hard block a firetruck the way car traffic can
How does playing the game bring revenue? Ads?
Also, I would think that the business would be in a tougher situation if game popularity increased while tech workers weren’t around to maintain it
It’s the difference between knowing you’ll grow and graduate together with your classmates vs knowing you’re only going to see them for that one month before you move away.
In the US? IMO only possible in exclusive environments similar to saunas at spas or membership-based clubs/gyms
There’s the practical distinction between “everyone can do it with some dedicated intent” (so few actually bother) vs “everyone can do it on a whim”
In a sense, money represents all the future goods and services it can buy, and those goods and services ultimately resolve down to someone’s time and effort. Money was conceived as a formalization of IOU’s, after all.
So it’s similar to asking whether there’s a limit to how much time and effort from (i.e. influence over) others one would want.
I’ve heard of publishing software to design photo albums/scrapbooks/cards etc. Is there a photo collection manager for archiving, sorting and filtering?
Given access to a large set of personal photos, say tens of thousands, it should be able to group, categorize, tag, and sort along a myriad of dimensions.
Example dimensions would be time, people and places. It would need some facial recognition/image classifier/similarity scoring capability.
There definitely are some cloud offerings today that do similar things, but I’d want it to work locally for privacy and practical reasons.
Yes, and that’s the point – to accomplish the task using only what would otherwise be insufficient memory
Perhaps open federated systems should have recommendation algos too, just optional and open
