Well it starts at body temperature, and if it stays in thermal equilibrium, then it doesn’t require energy to maintain. It wouldn’t make a difference, you’d be losing the same amount of heat energy either way.
Based on what others have said, I think the answer is that it isn’t really in equilibrium. If the bladder is in contact with tissues that are warmer on one side than the other, then it will basically act as a thermal conductor to move heat away from your core.
Well, Solidworks is the industry standard, but I think NX wins on capabilities, and Fusion has a much better workflow. Both are still corporate though.
I hope we get a good open source option, because Freecad is so far behind the rest that it’s basically unusable.
I don’t see how it makes a difference in the cold. It’s already body temperature, so there would be a thermal equilibrium. Heat loss is a function of the body’s surface area, which is unaffected.
I read the first article, and I recommended you do as well, as it’s the best take I have seen on image generation.
It sounds like you and your friend both have your minds made up already, but reality is more nuanced, and the truth is somewhere inbetween.
“AI art” isn’t copyright infringement, or “stealing”, but it’s also not art. It’s a neutral technology.
I agree it is being used unethically (and overused) by corporations, but it’s fundamentally a problem with how our society uses and reacts to it. Like so many other new technologies, the true issue is with capitalism, not the tech itself.
That’s true for flying, but taking a bus or train really isn’t so bad.
Though I suppose ‘travel’ often means flying, especially for people in the US.
Okay I’ll bite… why do you think travel is a sin??
Very interesting, although I’d like to see how different threadiverse software like mbin fits into this.
I like controller/peripheral, which is the most descriptive in my opinion. That’s what’s commonly used for SPI.
What’s wrong with wanting to share the same values, and to live in the same reality as your partner?
Very good, but there is so little food and so much packaging that I stopped eating them. It just feels too wasteful.
Octopus. I would hope to get the ability to shape shift.
I’m answering in the spirit of the question, but it wasn’t specified that the animal has to match the power. In that case, I’d choose basically the smallest thing that could feasibly bite me. A tardigrade for example.
This is actually very attainable, although don’t do the second part :(
Use Obtainium!
That sounds like the difference between weird and creepy. Why not just say creepy? I suppose ‘weird’ may be a more effective insult, but I don’t feel like it fits as well.
Republicans are creepy. I’m weird. There’s very little overlap. I actually don’t even think Republicans are that weird, they’re just boring yet emboldened creeps.
It’s not something I really thought about before reading this post, but I actually do think that ‘weird’ as an insult is kinda harmful, especially with how it overlaps with queerness and autism.
Well also I think this body type is and has always been attractive to the vast majority of people. Beauty standard are not very attainable (like you said, it’s a status thing), but they aren’t even what most people actually like.
This is actually a really interesting question. A modern LLM probably couldn’t do it, but I wonder if something like Alphazero could?
My guess is that no current AI is capable, as it requires abstract reasoning and precise movement. But maybe in the next 5 years.
If you roll a set of dice, do you own the number?
I don’t think it is a tool in the same sense that image editing software is.
But if for example you use a LLM to write an outline for something and you heavily edit it, then that’s transformative, and it’s owned by you.
The raw output isn’t yours, even though the prompt and final edited version are.
I think the solution is just that anything AI generated should be public domain.
Exactly. I think a small, light and cheap battery plus a gas range extender for long trips makes way more sense than carrying around 2000 pounds of battery that only gets fully used once a year.
It’s not like the bladder is radiating heat away when it’s inside the body. Heat doesn’t just get used up, it has to go somewhere. If it was in equilibrium it would just increase your thermal mass and have no effect.
Like I said though, I think the issue is that it’s constantly moving heat away from the core to the lower abdomen where it can be radiated or conducted away.
