no, heat pumps are rated for and work most efficiently at a specific temperature range. You're pumping energy from outside in, so the outside temperature matters a lot.
you can have all the insulation in the world and it won't matter if the heat pump can't transfer that energy.
you know what the issue here is don't you. what you reckon doesn't reflect reality. statistics does, and statistics agrees with me. not you,
I don't know why we are so addicted to "what i reckon" thinking in this country, why it's so ingrained into our culture. but it's really dangerous and sad.
statistica has the level of shoplifting incidents returning back to pre-pandemic levels after obviously it dropped during pandemic. these are the normal levels. What has changed is the value of the goods. and that's the value that's always reported when people talk about the increases.
remember every time they quote monetary values for shoplifted goods increasing, it's inflation. the cost of the goods went up, the amount of shoplifting is pretty much stable.
but they get to make a big fuss about it being "on the rise" instead of dealing with inflation and cost of living issues. because Tories are allergic to doing anything.
no, it's every market when it's actually a part of those markets, delivering value and funding itself. It is not doing that today. It may do that tomorrow, but not today.
Today AI is in the investor-funded, throw everything against the wall stage. the hope is that something will stick and become what drives that industry in the future. It hasn't found that yet. AI could vanish tomorrow and no one would notice.
If AI can't find its market (which for all the hype it hasn't thus far), then yes. Alternatively AI finds its market and it just becomes a norm that's expected so no one will mention it at all
It's worth remembering that this guy says anything that's in the current trend because just saying those things helps share prices. Then nothing comes of it.
FF16 wasn't stuffed full of nfts or crypto or even microtransactions even though the president makes comments about this stuff.
Most Americans give a large shit over people saying "fuck usa". They care a lot. I remember it being national news during the Iraq war when Americans saw people in other countries burning the American flag. They could not believe it and found it an insult against them.
Microsoft will have made this guy a billionaire, and he doesn't deserve a penny. Oh well, at least we get to keep specific games away from another game platform, I'm sure that makes it worth it.
Your personal usage does not align with the majority. Look at tiktok, it's social media based around endless video files. It's not an occasional text or email, it's hundreds of videos that your constantly scrolling through.
The move to streaming has bottomed out the music industry too, small artists can no longer survive as musicians as they make next to zero money from it. No cd sales, awful spotify payouts. It's not a goal anyone should look to.
AI art is always so immediately obvious. I understand the temptation. Oh wow, I can jazz up this throw-away post that no one really cares about.
But everyone that sees that post immediately notes oh its ai art again. Because our brains are picking up on all the details. So it kind of defeats and distracts from the point.
There might be ways of encorporating ai generated images into things, but it's not gonna be by just generating an image with a prompt and running with that as your main graphic.
That "reasonable" pricing needs to cover all of the development of tv and (most of) movies that we have today. This was the entire problem with the Netflix model.
The netflix experience of old only worked because media companies licensed shows and movies to it like they do to broadcasters in other companies. Paramount in 2011 is as happy to license Frasier to Netflix as they are to the BBC.
This only works when the media companies are making enough money via their main business, as such that licensing is just extra profit.
Netflix ate their lunch and devalued the entire ecosystem. Netflix sold the lie that tv can be made on 10 bucks a month instead of 100 like cable was. The economics of that just don't work, however. So now we have an industry where the bottom has fallen out entirely.
Maybe you'll be okay with a 100/month netflix subscription. I doubt most would. But that's what it would need to be to be the one subscription you have like it used to be. There's no cable audience to fall back on now.
Streaming studios are still studios, and they act the exact same. Yes, there is a studio jumping in to make cuts. Of course they are. The man is saying there is a director's cut.
The final cut of a movie is often not the directors cut. The director gives the studio their cut, and then studio executives get to do what they want. Good execs with good directors know not to fuck with a good thing. But if the movie the director hands in stinks or if some bad audience previews get execs scared all kinds of things can happen
Basically, this is why the idea of a directors cut even exists. Because what you see is rarely what the director handed in when they were done.
It is, but we have a society based around profit making not a good ecosystem with high quality products. You'll need to fix the former before the latter will actually be taken up.
