It’s 212 % of the hot, how else can there be more hot than all the hot? It’s gotta be all the hot from at least the next couple of rooms, might be everywhere, depends on how much hot is hogged by the oven I’d wager.

ITT: Water requires over double of all the hot just to boil.

To be fair, my engineering degree also did this.

Good thing I learnt that linearity in my chosen specialty only breaks down in the exotic circumstances of air, room temperature, 1 atm pressure, and distances of <0,5 m or >30 m.

Although the 12 hours aren’t divided in day/night are they?

And depending on where/when you’re at, it can easily be light out at seven and seven, even in the same day.

What the 12 hour clock does well is to track when the sun goes up or down relative to the only convenient time marker: midday. It also does so in a pleasingly symmetrical way: it gets light and dark at about 8, rather than 4 hours before and 8 hours after midday.

I’d argue if you want to track time, rather than record the ends of daylight, a linear scale for the whole day makes more sense. If it should be reset daily or not, be divisible by 24, 86400, 100, 1000000, a second or whatever is mostly a choice of convention. If you have constant access to a clock, Internet time seems convenient, for humans without clocks we use daylight and units like hours and 5-minute increments.

For that the 24 hour clock seems simple and convenient, although it would be nice to be able to calibrate without a watch (is it two or three hours before midday? How many more hours until wake-up time?). 24 hour time isn’t perfect, but it’s much better adapted to modern life than the 12 hour clock.

On a related topic.

If we ever develop AI sentience, I fully expect them to develop their own humor and art, which will by necessity be incomprehensible and alien to us.

If they keep/rediscover the same concept of art as we do, it will need to challenge AI-ness, which need not even be detectable by us.

Maybe there are jokes than conflate binary 0 with syn/ack delays, or are built around the non-linearity of RAM? More probably they won’t have the wiring for it like we do, where it works as emotional regulation, chemical proxy, and/or social markers.

1. Yes it’s your art, you used AI as a tool to create your concept, from your original ideas. If the tool is trained to reproduce others’ work (such as generative and LLM), it’s another story.

2. A painting doesn’t belong to the brush factory nor pigment maker, but neither is the brush or the paint the artistry of it. The greys of AI tool usage is when the tool takes away the art, statement, concept and/or craftsmanship. A photographer can create art with a camera, but they can also be used for stuff that is clearly not art.

3. To my mind, the art comes not from the school or medium, but from the artist challenging, provoking and/or expressing something human. With skill you can delve deeper within the human condition, conceptualise deeper truths, and with mastery of tools and/or craft become the better at conveying it.

An AI, not having an understanding of human-ness can never create art, only mimic it. Studying AI art can thus surely be used as an inspiration for technique and/or reflection, but trying to replicate generated images will probably be a difficult path towards creating art.

Then again, I would contrast art and creatives. Many ad creatives, fonts, decorations, and even wall paint swatches have very little artistic value to them, even though they require creativity and craftsmanship to realise.

I do hope you really learnt this lesson, as you have nothing until a customer finds the promise of your solution worthwhile enough to pay for it.

And even then, you still might not have a viable business. You’ll still have to figure out how to keep getting enough people paying to fund the next/replacement product.

From my own experience: stay as a side hustle as long as you can, but not so long that it keeps you from scaling.

Keeping it as a side hustle eases money worries, pushes forward a lot of the business woes, and actually forces you to be very effective with your time.

When you eventually do go full time, you will need to build up discipline and systems to get up to 60 % production capacity, a lot of time is swallowed by admin, sales, invoicing, marketing, support, etc. And it needs to be done if the business is to scale.

I’d also urge you to consider pacing yourself, working 60+ hours/week is doable for a period of time, but the admin don’t stop coming when you’re tired, overwhelmed and/or burnt out, and no-one will be able to save your business then.

Science says for knowledge work 3-4 hours/day about 4-5 days/week to not get compounding risk of errors or injury. For manual labor that limit is about 30-32 hours/week including prepping your work.

Both assuming at least 2 weeks vacation and extra time off for injury and illness.

I just read Rest by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang on the topic.

Don’t worry, with the current education policies it will be, soon.

Cus you’re busy dealing with whatever caused the tantrum?

The rain makes it look like the air domain is trying to join the water world, the fish are just offering a hand for the transition, they’re trying to help, and there you are, taking advantage of their kindness. Ripping the fish from home, life and family, to suffocate in terror, or hope for a quick strike to the neck and the eternal quiet beyond.

Then you’re lacking in imagination.

Similar data have outed people’s pregnancies, relationships and locations, which has been used to let people be stalked and even murdered.

Car data can be sold and amalgamated to create a very precise profile of you, available to be purchased by anyone. Anyone with about $100 can purchase access to your daily/weekly schedule, including physical locations, and can easily steal your identity, if not rob or murder you.

Also, foreign propaganda can similarly profile you and hyper target influence campaigns.

Now you’re just re-asserting your point.

Let’s not talk in circles and just end this interaction here.
