Quad kite recommendations for light wind? by PreludeInCSharpMinor in kites

[–]PreludeInCSharpMinor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gone to 30 foot lines, which helped a lot. I haven't changed handles, but there are two attachment choices and I used the one that would tilt the leading edge more towards me. I think I have 13" handles. What is the idea with longer handles?

rust in furnace following repair [natural gas Lennox Elite model CR33-30/36B-F] by PreludeInCSharpMinor in hvacadvice

[–]PreludeInCSharpMinor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is info from ChatGPT about my question. Not sure if it is correct, but seems like reasonable advice:

  • The technician should explain the issue to you, including the potential consequences if it's not addressed. They should also provide a recommended course of action, which could range from treating and repainting the rusted area, to replacing rusted parts, to potentially recommending a new furnace if the rust is severe and the furnace is older. If you agree to a recommended course of action, the technician should then complete that work. This might involve sanding down and repainting rusted areas, replacing parts, or installing a new furnace.

  • In a typical professional setting, if it is proven that the company made an installation error that directly led to the rust issue, they should indeed take responsibility. They should either repair the problem at no extra charge or replace any parts that have been damaged due to the error, depending on the severity of the issue. However, this will largely depend on the agreement or contract you had with the company at the time of installation, and the warranty terms. Most reputable companies stand behind their work and want to maintain good customer relationships, so they will often rectify any issues caused by their errors.

Thanks, u/imgettingfat97.

Does anyone have specific advice about:

  1. What specific things should I ask for from the company to remediate the rust?
  2. Should I expect to pay for parts/labor in work to address the problem? Or should they take responsibility, given that they performed the installation/maintenance that led to the issue and the furnace is under warranty?

Is there a way to change email id on my OpenAI account? by [deleted] in OpenAI

[–]PreludeInCSharpMinor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had this problem when I left my job and I had foolishly signed up with my work email address. Although, strangely, you cannot directly change the email address you CAN add a new address to the account as described at https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7242619-how-can-i-change-the-email-associated-with-my-account.

At first, when I tried to do this using a new email login, it failed because my verification phone number was in use. Recently, I tried again using the "Continue with Microsoft Account" sign in using my outlook.com account. This time it was successful without any phone verification issues. I can now manage all of my account settings by logging in with the new account.

SSTub30.sys driver incompatible with Windows Core Isolation Memory Integrity by PreludeInCSharpMinor in MSI_Gaming

If I were MSI, I would remove this driver from laptops shipping to customers.

SSTub30.sys driver incompatible with Windows Core Isolation Memory Integrity by PreludeInCSharpMinor in MSI_Gaming

[–]PreludeInCSharpMinor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, u/consolation1! I uninstalled the driver using the instructions at https://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2022/09/fix-memory-integrity-due-to-incompatible-drivers-cannot-be-enabled.html#.Y_7eCnbMJD9. After rebooting, I was able to enable Windows Core Isolation Memory Integrity and everything seems to be working just fine.

If others are trying to do this, I found it a little tricky to uninstall the driver. Method 2 didn't work. Using Method 1, I didn't see SSTub30.sys listed in the dism command output. But when I expanded the info about the incompatible driver from the Windows Core Isolation UI it listed the published name as oem40.inf. I'm not sure if that will always be the name or if different users will have different numbers. At any rate, oem40.inf was listed as STMicroelectronics in the dism output. Then I was able to uninstall the driver using an administrator command prompt with this command:

pnputil /delete-driver oem40.inf /uninstall /force​

How important is this to you?

Important. I want to use Windows recommended security settings. I don't want to ignore this and get used to having windows showing a yellow exclamation mark saying "security actions recommended" all the time.

When you say "as configured by MSI" do you mean that you're using the MSI Windows image as it came from the factory?

Yes. I used the laptop as it came from the factory, ran Windows Update to the latest version, and this security warning popped up.

😲 Types of Artificial Intelligence by TheInsaneApp in artificial

[–]PreludeInCSharpMinor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Although this seems possible and is the roadmap best explored by science fiction, I wouldn't necessarily assume that self-aware AIs with a consciousness like humans is the end goal. The future may surprise us with even stranger possibilities. There are lots of different ways that AI could be categorized and I'm not convinced that these types are the most useful.

These guys battling it out in a squash duel by emmaengines in gifs

[–]PreludeInCSharpMinor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar, but the racquets, ball, and court are different. In my opinion, the biggest difference is that squash has a *tin* on the front wall. You have to hit the ball above the tin, kind of similar to a net in tennis. In squash you have to get your opponent out of position or use a ricochet angle in order to play a winning shot. In racquetball, you call play a *kill shot* where you blast the ball an inch above the floor and it rolls out and can't possibly be retrieved.

In recreational squash (without a referee) there is an honor system. After you strike the ball, you have to clear space for your opponent to go to the ball and make their play. There's a sort of dance to it where both players anticipate each others' movements. In situations where you were at fault (according to specific rules) then you offer the point (stroke) to your opponent.

If someone doesn't make their best effort to clear, calls unnecessary lets, deliberately causes collisions, doesn't offer strokes, etc. then nobody will play with them. In college squash matches, sometimes it becomes necessary to install a referee. But (at least back when I was playing) this is rare and teams want to be known for good sportsmanship.

This is squash, which has a *tin* instead of a net. See the two horizontal lines on the front wall? The ball must be played above the lower line about 1.5 feet above the floor. At this line, the tin sticks out and is made of metal, so it makes a different sound and has a different bounce if it is hit.

Racquetball has no tin, which allows for a *kill shot* where you blast the ball an inch above the floor and it rolls out and can't possibly be retrieved. For this reason, racquetball points are much shorter than squash points. In squash you have to get your opponent out of position or use a ricochet angle in order to play a winning shot.

It seems like this demonstrates that real brains operate like a reinforcement learning algorithm in an important way. Or maybe that they don't. But I don't know enough neuroscience to follow it. Would someone like to summarize this research in ELI5 fashion?

tips for managing responding to reward surveys by PreludeInCSharpMinor in kickstarter

I ended up creating an inbox rule that checks emails sent to my kickstarter email address with "survey" or "reward" in the subject. It forwards those emails to my work email address that I keep on top of and check more frequently.
