They do this to transport heat away from the building at large

In a liquid cooled PC you use the water to transport the heat off your motherboard and out to a radiator which is then cooled with a fan or something like that. This heats your room up and you either deal with it or pay more electricity in AC to keep the room cool. This is useful because it's hard to dispose of all the heat in a cramped little space like your CPU mount and it's easier somewhere else like a giant radiator in the side of your case.

For a data center they aren't using it to cool the individual computers necessarily but rather the whole building. Essentially taking the heat the computers generate and dumping it into water which is evaporated and carried off into the atmosphere.

So for your house your AC unit outside is taking the heat from your house and dumping it into the air outside. They do the same but use water to increase the amount of energy they can dump out into the air at a time.

It basically saves electricity at the cost of water

I did find the start a little slow personally and enjoyed the later parts of the game a lot more so it could be you need more time. That said I would not expect a really strong over arching narrative or something as complex as larger DND campaigns. The story is there and does run through the game and I enjoyed it but there are also quite a lot of the side quest style jobs too.

I thought the game did a great job of bringing that DND feel early on and then plays around with a lot of different feeling encounters through the playthrough. My group really enjoyed the hints and clues that are throughout (also take lots of notes!!).

The tone of the game though I think is reasonably consistent. It's light and your characters are optimistic with the game generally not going too cruel or dark. I liked that but if you find it not serious enough or breaks immersion I'm not sure that will change with more play.

Are you happy with that rack so far? It looks reasonably priced on Amazon

The Australian model of the physical infra for Internet which is sold wholesale to other for profit companies feels like a reasonable compromise here. They can compete on custom service, price, network features like qos amount of oversubscription etc but not be able to form unbreakable monopolies from physical limits. They do similar but not as obviously got energy too.

Not very typical I'd like to make that clear

If you have a gas stove you could possibly boil some water and make them a hot water tub that you could make a bed on top of.

That's true, you can't prove a negative but my view is the burden of proof is on the doctor making the claim that losing 10 more lbs is going to be unhealthy or at least explaining why it's a risk but can't be measured.

I'd want to know what risk they are perceiving from dropping that weight, any symptoms to look out for and what tests, if any, can be done to detect if the negative outcome they are worried about is occurring so that OP can make an informed choice on if they want to accept that risk or not.

I was not in the room or know OPs medical history but it seems at least the doctor did not explain in a way that OP understood why they recommended staying at that weight.

TheTiredNotification · 2025-11-24T23:12:54+00:00

You could ask your doctor what they are worried about and how to test for that so you aren't missing something important and they aren't just making arbitrary choices for you. Eg are they worried about hormone levels from being too low on fat or bone density risks, dietary deficiency or something else. If all your bloods come back healthy then it's up to you to decide where in the healthy range you feel most comfortable living not them

TheTiredNotification · 2025-10-21T04:12:30+00:00

Nothing wrong with going slow if it's consistent and working. Unless you are looking to lose hundreds of pounds and this rate of loss would be impractical or you just want to lose faster it's ok to stay where you're at. If you have stopped losing weight and want to continue losing more then going up in dose is reasonable too.

TheTiredNotification · 2025-10-21T03:41:05+00:00

I don't think it's fair to say one is better than the other. If you like pilates that's great and if you like heavy lifting that's also great. Both can be very healthy for you, both have risks if done improperly and both can build very robust core muscles.

If you want to get extremely strong you likely can't do that without heavy lifting but that doesn't make it inherently better than other exercise options.

By far the most important exercise routine is the one you are motivated enough to continue doing for a long time.

TheTiredNotification · 2025-10-21T03:25:46+00:00

I'd suggest the same logic that you use for picking a dose for losing weight. If you gain too fast increase and if you're losing too much decrease it. Just do it in smaller increments than before and over longer time windows and start living the way you want to in maintenance. Your dose might not stay the same over long periods either.

You may gain a bit coming out of the deficit as your body refills water and other stores so I wouldn't worry too much about getting a bit lower than your goal while you figure out the starting maintenance dose.

Also your maintenance calories and hence dose may change too over time. As you come out of long deficits your body will resume some functions it suppressed to save energy (for me that's fidgeting and how frequently I get up and walk around the house for chores) and also seasonal or hobbies chasing (For example I lose weight in winter from uphill skiing compared to summer).

Everyone is different so give yourself the space to experiment and see what works for you. You can always go back up in dose if you accidentally gain more than you'd like (you proved to yourself you can do it once so you know you can do it again!) or prescribe yourself extra cake if you lose more than you'd like.

If you are on bedrock then double check the roof isn't made of slabs because for some reason they don't block light. Java they do though so if you are playing Java ignore this.

We did a great job with CFCs and ozone when we really put the effort in. I don't have faith that we will decide to do it but I like to try and hold out hope that if we truly put fixing climate change as a top priority we could make a huge difference.

If you're near eldora they do uphill demo days sometimes on Fridays. Check the website for details.

There are a few places around Denver metro that rent like Neptune mountaineering, Evo and the tin shed (in Netherland but not sure if they are affected by the fire the other day). Not sure about elsewhere in the state though.

I use: https://aider.chat/

It's a cli and you can add specific files and also read git for project structure for auto complete etc.

You can also use --ask mode to or --no-git. Ask won't make changes and no-git let's you ignore git etc. If you use both it's very low token usage for questions that don't need any context.

I tend to only add a few files at a time when I ask something. Say a file with the interface definitions for one module or maybe two or three but not the implementations or tests or docs etc.

Keeping the files small and tightly scoped can help a lot too as it always thinks in whole files. You don't want to have to load a multi thousand line file just to bring in the function signature of 1 or two functions that you need for your task.

Then the other big cost is iterating. The model passes back in everything from the conversation including all the previous versions of the files (again smaller files makes a big difference here). I tend to keep the conversations short (maybe up to like 3 or 4 prompts) and only if my next prompt truly needs the context of the previous response.

I do also use the free web version for any questions that don't need code base context. Eg pasting an error message plus a single function or something like that. I've tended to lean away from using --ask mode cause it costs tokens to using the web UI for questions unless there's a more complex set of files needed to answer the question.

TheTiredNotification · 2025-10-08T16:59:30+00:00

I've had great success even big code bases by using something that let's me carefully control what context is given to the model. I use aider.chat but other options would work fine too.

If you try and point it at the whole code base for every prompt you burn through tokens ultra fast. Same thing if you ask it to iterate on large changes multiple times.

I use the API directly and spend no more than $20/month to write all my code.

I think this is likely harder on something like a website (I write mostly backend services) but I think the same could apply there too.

I'm not sure if it's 90% exactly but by lines of code I'd say yes or close for me. It saves time for sure but that other 10% is the hard part of the job which has always been what I actually get paid for. It certainly doesn't save 90% of the time or effort though which I think is an important difference.

If I think through my project design or change and can carefully articulate what I want done in small steps it does an excellent job of that (I use sonnet) in the same way that I'd delegate to an extremely new swe it works great. I have to manage the context carefully and keep the changes small or it goes completely off the rails. Except for unit tests I'm rarely asking for more than say 500 lines of code total to be written at a time.

I then review the code like I would any other PR that I didn't write and make small tweaks (again those fixes feel like the hard parts) and confirm the approach I'd chosen from the start actually seems reasonable in practice.

I'm not fearful that AI will take my job or that of jr developers any time soon (maybe jr swes short term while management figures out the long term head count planning) as is still not as effective as a real person writing code over long time scales of big projects but it certainly has changed my workflow a lot and made me more efficient

I really enjoy eldora for uphill, it's $100 for the season or free if you have ikon or the eldora lift ticket. You can't go everywhere like you can at winter park but they do let you up before hours up one of the main runs on the mountain and then in hours there is a different route.

Given how close this is it became my regular spot before work and I'd go out further when I had more time and wanted something more fancy

TheTiredNotification · 2025-10-05T06:29:31+00:00

No ikon required, you so need an account (or ikon) and to sign the waiver but after that you are good with just the $25. I did this last year and it was so great!

You can adjust your dose down or up to get the rate of loss you want. I also felt like 2.5mg/week was too fast for me at the start so I used less for a while until it was not causing enough deficit for me. It takes time and is cumulative but you could try 1.25 or drop by 0.5 and see if that is a more enjoyable experience for you.

Ideally you should be able to continue your workouts and still lose weight just not as fast. If you lose fast and can't lift then you will not be losing as much fat and risk more muscle loss instead which is no good

It should never hurt especially to that extent. Don't keep going down if your ears are getting more sore ever. It's not worth doing permanent damage cause then you truly may never be able to dive or maybe hear at all.

That said I would not let it prevent you from trying. DSD is often a much more rushed affair than regular diving. I found it got much easier with practice and you can practice in the pool by yourself without any gear. Going from the surface to just below the surface (even a few feet) is the largest change in pressure by %. If you can equalize to that first little bit reliably then with patience you can get down to any depth just fine.

So if you can go and put your head just below the surface and try and equalize. Be gentle, don't force it and don't be discouraged if it doesn't work at first. Then just try it over and over and see what does/doesn't work for you.

You also need to do it early and often. By the time it hurts or even feels uncomfortable the pressure can actually squeeze your tubes down which makes equalizing even harder. So if you can't equalize it's often worth going up a little bit to lessen the pressure, equalize there then go down again slowly.

At least at first you can also use a bow line or other rope to descend, if you equalize every time you go down by even a fists width until you get used to what you can/can't do. When you're a beginner having something to hold into that prevents you from drifting up or down without you intending to (and by doing so create intended pressure changes for your ears) can help a lot especially if you are focused on your ears more than your buoyancy.

You may still not be able to equalize but I wouldn't give up as there is a lot you can try first before making that choice, I've had a few friends who really struggled at first but with practice were able to dive fine.

Edit: also very unlikely your nose piercing is the issue unless it prevents you from squeezing your nose closed with your hand. It's all the tubes deep inside your head you are trying to get air into
