An hvac company that is able to adopt AI for 1st call processing and scheduling will be able to eliminate a number of jobs and remain open 24x7. They will undercut their local competitors, and the hvac techs will find themselves out of a job or working for their competitor soon.
Small companies won’t be able to compete.
I’m all for this but we need to offset these immense productivity gains with economic safety nets. I don’t know how the next 100 year will look if we don’t adopt UBI, universal healthcare, and some amount of subsidized housing.
State police released no details of the hikers’ identities or possible causes of death. Southern Nevada remains under an excessive heat warning; the high temperature Saturday was 114 degrees.
While I agree, the temps in the desert right now aren’t far off from normal. Humans simply can’t handle that amount of heat. People die every year around this time, because they are ignorant.
Focus on your individual hobbies that have the possibility of being social. Eventually one of you will meet a friend and decide to hang out outside of the hobby.
Pilots for FedEx have rejected a tentative labor deal. But that doesn’t mean they’re about to walk off the job just as UPS is threatened with its own strike by 340,000 drivers and other hourly ground workers.
I don’t have a cable/standard tv service. It looks like YouTube has a standalone package for $400 (!) I’m mostly interested in regular season games and follow whatever my fantasy football player teams are playing, so they aren’t usually broadcast in my area over the air....
ICE aren’t growing much in size and are getting more and more efficient. Why not make them air cooled? Porches used to be aircooled, and those were performance cars with the engine in the back. I would imagine having an engine in the front might be easier to cool, no?
Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don’t do VMs in azure; not secure enough)....
Got my Argos today and it looks and feels so much better than I expected. It’s super tiny, beautifully designed and setting it up was very easy. Filled it up with 40GH/40KH water and it got to temp within 5 mins or so. Flushed for a bit to clean out the water path. Pulled a shot with some washed Ethiopian beans 18:40 and it...
1990 eclipse gsx. Had an upgraded TD05(H?)turbo, spiral header (ugh), and upgraded 12v fuel system. Made really decent power even though the power and was meh. Had it about 3 months before I made the executive decision to sell it before I killed myself....
My 1999 Plymouth RS was that same color. Trans separated from the engine on its own.
The day before I moved across the US it was broken into along with nearly every other car in my parking lot. Thieves pulled up in a box van and silently opened up various vehicles using known weaknesses, without breaking any glass. The DSM apparently could have its door handle popped off to get the door to open somehow.
The school may have edu licenses for a macOS hypervisor product that makes it cheap or free. The teachers may recommend something. Ask the school first.
It was taking around 24 hours to drain just ~1—3 liters of water in my kitchen sink. Probably comparable to IV drip speeds. After a huge effort and expense, I finally fixed it without demolishing the kitchen – which would have been my next and final move¹. Sequence of events:...
Sinclair has suggested human trials could commence within next year. “This new discovery offers the potential to reverse aging with a single pill, with applications ranging from improving eyesight to effectively treating age-related diseases.” Other biologists skeptical.
Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if “dormant”) torrents?
