A solenoid is a type of motor. It converts non-motion energy (electricity) into mechanical motion.

OMG, I HATE HATE HATE those interviews. I call them "Magic Word" questions.

I was drilled for several minutes by an interviewer who was trying to get me to use the ONE PARTICULAR WORD out of the entire English language to describe something - something I had 100% already specified.

If his manager hadn't been present, it would have ended with me not getting the job (and potentially a homicide) (which a jury trial would have acquitted, after I let him cross-examine me).

The comment after yours, about solubility, casts serious doubt on those studies. Physics isn't changed by a faucet.

I mean, no it doesn't, first principles aren't worth more than actual outcomes.

It doesn't maintain temperature at all; it maintains the hot/cold mix.

The problem is that the hot temp varies widely (and the cold temp varies slightly as you drain the house tubing reservoir and begin drawing ground-temp water).

The point of the argument is that "forcing you to work without pay" is silly.

You're discussing your peers' behaviors, not AI.

It's the same as saying "People don't kill people; guns do." Maybe guns(AI) should be regulated, but the primary problem is murderers(lazy peers), not weapons(AI).

Yet countries that have strong regulation of firearms have significantly less murders (and accidental shootings) than countries that don't regulate them.

That does suggest that along with murderers, the easy accessibility of firearms is a problem (assuming that the ratio of murderers in different populations is approximately the same).

Just like with guns, AI is a crime of scope.

I can be a murderer with a knife, sure, but how many people can I kill? How many people can I kill if I have a class three license an a full auto gun?

I can pirate a news article here or there, sure, but how many news articles can I pirate? How many news articles can I pirate with AI?

> How many news articles can I pirate with AI?

Not much more than with a bash/curl loop. Which, on one hand, AI can write for you, but on the other hand, AI will make you no longer need to pirate those articles in the first place.

Also it's not end-user piracy being discussed - it's the act of training AI itself that's accused here to be "robbery of our culture".

Negligence is not malicious action.

Both are bad, but having a missile hit your shop is never going to mean you are causing violence.

But you are causing your customers to lose data

All Tesla employees reading this are fervently agreeing, between their tears.

"We should build vacuum delivery tubes for passengers!"

You are describing the US regulatory landscape, up until Trump's SCROTUS revoked the Chevron deference in 2024.
