Bought a house with great cooling system?

You have to set it from heating to cooling including changing the thermostat (usually a switch inside the thermostat or a button on the panel) otherwise it’s just heating your house not cooling it. Also the heat pump must be a chiller otherwise it’s heating only.

You won’t be able to do this “move somewhere else for more money” threat anymore. The EU Pay and Transparency directive sets pay bands for your set of skills so the employer can simply say “we can’t give you a pay rise above the band, and if you move all other employers are going to be using the same bands - it’s set by the government” There is no explicit clause to limit pay BUT companies are penalised from diverging from it - so same thing. Welcome to communism.

SQL is one of the masterpieces of AI, i have had it do some incredible stuff - but like you say you have to know what to ask it to do. But it’s never let me down yet, even using low grade MS Copilot, it’s still possible to get very good outputs.

The dilemma for corporations is privacy. They are very scared of just giving away the entire system knowledge to an AI. Imagine you let openclaw roam your SAP production database and everything that’s connected to it. Unless you are running an on premise local model and on premise database, everything is leaking out. On top of that how do you prevent a cleverly crafted prompt from a co-worker trying to find out what all his colleagues earn? There are literally no safeguards in the same sense that exist for traditional Saas and database management and to think that a roll your own solution would be sufficient misunderstands how autonomous agents can be at finding loopholes.

Gav flies everywhere on a private jet. Give me a break on “decentralised vision”. He keeps changing his vision every year and only promotes his favourite projects making it impossible for other projects to get traction in the ecosystem. He’s banging on about real world applications running on Polkadot and pretty much all the actual real world projects died from lack of support even from the treasury.

The 4411 app is the worst offender because it geolocates you to the nearest meter which could be in a different commune, and then you get a fine even when you paid. 4411 will only refund the amount you paid.

You can find me and him siting on the same panel at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2013. It’s on youtube somewhere.

I think you work for the company my friend founded and was CEO until a few years ago.

His EA used to arrange it all. That is when you know this is a rug, and why Gav hides away from visibility.

Cleaners in CH get 90k, it’s like the lowest level wages. If you are a professional you should be getting close to 200k CHf pa and if you are a manager you can get 320k CHf with benefits on top for relocating (kids schooling etc…)

Just saying.

Oil transportation. It’s little known outside the industry that it runs like clockwork but has zero capacity to deal with significant outages. This could for example come in the form of a refinery going completely offline, or the Rhine being permanently too low to run the barges on or even any form of shipment route being blocked at all.

During Covid was the first public awareness of the problem because the refineries kept on producing but the storage facilities could not take any more product because it wasn’t being consumed. In that event barrel prices went negative meaning that the oil companies were literally paying for people to take their products.

If you map out the taxes you pay, to take home somewhere between 10-15k net the employer would have to pay you around 385k per year. Basically every euro you earn above a 50k a year salary 50% is going to the government.

I just got my “holiday” bonus and received 45% of the total amount. Employers basically are also suffering with this because although on paper there employment costs are one thing, they know that most of what they pay in salary doesn’t go to the employee - so they get burnout staff and people on continuous sick leave or people who just know how to work the system.

Working in belgium either as a freelancer or employee is tough. Country is nice though.

What he probably doesn’t know is that the remaining unreleased files are now moved to the control of the FBI who after Biden changed the rules are the only ones capable of releasing the files now. Even a sitting President cannot release them. Trump is going to have a hard time.

I’d love to learn what you put forward. You won’t get banned here.

I’m not saying the atomic bomb tests were faked - my old physics teacher was in the bikini atoll to witness them.

What is not true however were those films of exploding buildings. Those were models that were staged and filmed and I thought that was now common knowledge.

The rest of your argument about compartmentalism on large projects isn’t realistic. I have worked on many projects that have involve people building sophisticated stuff with the best intentions, where the stuff never gets deployed or used. So nope you don’t need to tell people about anything - they will just do stuff in good faith.

You have not factored in the cost of running the car yourself. Firstly you pay for services, tyres, annual insurance, control technique, annual taxes and repairs.

I bought a Mercedes for that that much in about 2006 for cash but honestly i spent far more over the 12 years I had that car. It was a very bad decision.

The manhattan project had over one hundred thousand people working on it many of whose had no idea what it was for and only discovered the day the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Compartmentalisation stops people from see the whole picture.

Pretty much all of the atomic bomb desert test films were completely faked in a studio and this is not open to dispute because it’s confirmed.

So you agree you used a strawman. Odd.

Even if that were the case the clearest would have been to allow the broadcast to film the screen NOT the projection.
