This is kinda the same process amazon itself went through back in the day

Like $1/10 minutes of input a month for infinite booch is a pretty sweet deal

It does convey a certain finality

It just does.

You’re a good son

People like expressing themselves, to know and be known is kinda what life is all about, and I have no idea how to meaningfully engage with someone who sees that opportunity as a burden to be alleviated. Hope you find both joy and peace today man

The difference is whether we’re engaging with one another collectively or being engaged by a machine in isolation. If we couldn’t tell the difference we would be “cooked” and it would be “so over” as the kids say. This is why it’s important to care about the human element, freebasing materialism has apparently caused you to dismiss your fellow man as confusing baggage

Further, this (thankfully) doesn’t seem very well-recieved, I would say in large part because it is thoughtless, souless, trite, mechanized slop. It’s making a room full of countercultural system-smashers who would otherwise agree with at least the general sentiment stop and think that you suck too

The impactful thing here is your output, not that of the slop machine, and I don’t think it’s having the influence you’d hope for mr. downvote

Your only point is:

1. If it supports my ideology it’s good

From a human perspective it’s icky and you come across like 1950s propaganda to make commies look bad. When people express themselves they… you know what, I’m just gonna leave it at “ai sucks”. Simulated human output, our entire selves slurped up and analyzed to be extruded by a corporation, if your self-defined “marxist perspective” has an excuse for that it can eat my ass

Curse this ai slop. The fake crayon thing is really bugging me, like. Crack open a box and put a few hours in if you mean it, super accessible style

To steal your labor and use it to train their clanker replacement

Heck yeah they have. Cheaper power during peak production is still very much a thing though, as it should be imo. Slurp up that juice as it pours in!

Mine was kinda that we do if we could adjust our patterns and habits a little bit to live with the world as it is vs imposing ourselves on it. Forcing “companies” (read corpos) to do something other than maximize extraction is a big part of that

In most hydronic heating systems I’ve worked on, there’s an insulated tank of hot water either somewhere in between the boiler and radiators or built into the boiler directly. The thermostats talk to valves that send the water to radiators in the rooms that need it. The boiler just keeps that water at a set temperature.

In larger buildings with really long runs, sometimes there are valves to bypass certain radiators and/or multiple tanks located around the building. I can’t say without more information about your home, but it might make sense to have one near the area you’re trying to heat most.

No storage tank at all and thermostats that fire up your boiler directly sounds very unusual and inefficient. The expansion tank you have is just meant to stabilize pressure, it doesn’t have enough volume to do much for temperature

Just chiming in to say I think this guy’s got the right idea. I realize what community this is posted in, but sometimes when you’re really into your hammer everything starts to look a little too much like a nail. If you have room for it (sounds like a pretty big house) a buffer tank would make a huge difference

I’m gonna do a hate crime just for the bag

…they should charge at work during peak solar and run their homes off their car batteries at night. That’s where you were going, right?

We all know art is hard, artists gotta starve

The real deal will always be there and never be easy. Fuck “content”, fuck entertainment, fuck packaging yourself for sale. To know and be known is the most human thing there is. Genuine self-expression was never commercially viable and isn’t going anywhere as long as there are two people to engage with one another. That’s art. It’s not something you can be “good with LLMs” at, no matter how technically proficient their output

Paid hype is a red flag imo

I’m in the exact opposite position… hoarding bits on the cheap, all I need is ram and psu but ram now costs more than I paid for everything else put together and scavenging sources have dried up completely
