In my experience, IRL conversations are generally more nuanced. I rarely encounter people who are adamant about one stance or another in any kind of absolute terms. But online, you’ll often find people on the extremes, saying that anything AI is good/bad no matter what and getting mad at anyone that doesn’t share the same opinion. And those extremes are often the loudest voices.

This holds when + is a group operation (concatenation) acting on the set of all possible finite strings.

As long as you don’t reinvent the protocol

That would make sense if you were an actual athlete looking to compete in the Olympics, but that’s not the situation that OP is in.

I thought the second post was the joke, not the explanation.

My main machine still runs Linux off a HDD and it’s doing perfectly fine.

Amazing how we all just collectively forgot that Photoshop was a thing.

When is freedom of speech ever not equivalent to freedom of consequences from said speech?

And we’re constantly doing this. If a word is used a lot and the word is long, we’re going to shorten it.

That will last the average adult about 20 days, and you’ll probably be constantly feeling hungry during that time. Adding a sack of dry beans would make a huge difference.

Vitamins degrade over time. You’ll want to make sure that what you get will actually last for the period of time when you intend to use them.

The Amazon store is pretty bad at any kind of product discovery or helping me make informed decisions. There’s way too much junk there, reviews are mostly useless, and there’s no guarantee of actually receiving the product as advertised.

but Amazon [looks after customers] too

This is news to me

Which is a fair claim to make. I don’t know why you went with “EV batteries aren’t safe over 40⁰C”, which is clearly False based on the source you cited, then went on a whole roundabout talking about how it’s not safe at 45C, then 70C, then how active cooling is inefficient while citing the efficiency of Peltier devices. Your top-level comment was fine. Nothing else you said after that made any sense.

A quick lesson on logical reasoning:

If you want to show that a piece of technology A is inefficient and you know that another piece of tech B is more efficient, then you can use the inefficiency of B as evidence for the inefficiencies of A. Basically, for some inefficiency threshold T where any value above T is poor efficiency, then A>B and B>T means that A>T.

Here, we’re comparing vapour-compression (A) and solid state (B) heat pumps. Solid states are much more inefficient. So you have A<B and B>T. You can’t use this to make any claims about the relationship between A and T.

Did you even read the link you sent us?

Max 60°C: Continuous high temperature use will accelerate battery aging and capacity decay. If the temperature exceeds 70°C, the risk of thermal runaway will increase dramatically.

It makes more sense if you read the context. They’re responding to a comment that said this:

I guess you don’t understand active cooling then. If the coolest air in front of you is ~160⁰F, well that’s the coolest your batteries are gonna get, at best. Which is way hotter than rated temperatures for lithium batteries…

A response that says “it’s not X” can be interpreted as “it’s not doing the thing you said it’s doing”. In this case, over_clox is saying that heat transfers directly from the battery to the air.

Acceptable range: 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). Below 10°C, the charging rate may be limited. It is recommended to charge the battery at 0~10°C and 0.2C rate. Above 45°C, there is a risk of battery charging.

Eh?

Above 45°C, there is a risk of battery charging.

???

Based on the image they shared, the heat goes into the refrigerant, which then goes to a radiator to transfer into the outside air.

It doesn’t use outside air in the sense that the battery doesn’t transfer heat directly to the outside air. There’s the refrigerant between the two.
