I guess it is a matter of what shape is grown. For some reason I thought a flat plate being sublimated onto but I honestly don't know.
But if you can get a flat plate made from diamond then a clever design should be able to use that.
But never mind the practicality - as long as it doesn't leak - then marketing could have a field day...
1. They can grow diamonds.
2. Diamonds are good for heat conduction in the liquid-water-temperature range.
3. Diamonds are good for electrical insulation.
Where are the full diamond water blocks for the water cooled RGB bling computers?!?
Not sure whether other brands could be better but there seem to be various options that would suit. If you are in 120v land you may need to check if there are models to suit.
Its largely modular, inverter sits on top of modular batteries in 8-9kw chunks.
But they are app-infested. IE wants a wifi connection, app on your phone to their servers... etc etc.
I hate it, but the wife likes it. This is a recent thing so I am still working out if there are possible solutions for privacy and control over my own objects.

People buy solar and batteries and hook up with Amber[0] who charges a static monthly fee but provides access to wholesale prices. When you give/take from the grid is for you to manage.
So, now you have kind of a non-scaling side hustle when you really just wanted to have cheap energy without having to think about it.
I've heard various people say good/bad things about Amber. People who say it works automatically, some say it doesn't sell to the grid at times it should etc etc.
But I think it is an interesting world when households can be used to support the local grid. And maybe more interesting because now there are more hackable targets on the internet relating to the local grid....
I never "got" Pokemon.
The trainer is all lovey-dovey over their pets... NOW fight! One. At. A. Time.
I kept wanting police to roll in with oversized nets and tranquilizer guns to break it all up.
A competent teacher (doesn't have to be brilliant) puts a floor on basic levels of understanding in a variety of topics.
Without which, a resourceful LLM-guided child - while possibly being a brilliant mathematician - may well come out believing Wicca can heal cancer with the right rocks.
> Anything dealing with user deletion should go through a well established, legal approved process.
Which seems prohibitive. As though someone's personal emails/tweets/images on a free account are somehow protected from the whims of a high enough exec.
But as far as I can tell, it is within legal bounds for a business to freely give and taketh away free accounts if they wish. The only thing stopping them from mass account deletion is public perception.
So where is the cutoff? My one free user obviously didn't make the cut. But 100 does? 1000?
Normal logs/bookkeeping need to be kept anyway if you are running a business. And special legal letters are special by definition.
I'm still not seeing why google outright couldn't delete a million random free accounts if they wish. It'd be bad for reputation but execs have done similar in the past.
I am not saying I like it. I am not saying I want it to be a certain way.
I am trying to point out that all these free accounts are running on servers provided by a business. They are subject to the whims of the business and the market the business operates in. If the business fails, so do the accounts.
Nothing could possibly go wrong?!?...
If I give you an account on my linux box I don't have to go through any externalised process to delete it.
Why is Whatsapp(or any of the big players) any different? It's just an account on someone else's computer.
Is there something else at play I am missing?
I'm in two minds over this.
In a free for all, money wins. No small-money creator would get to profit from a truly great idea. Someone with more money simply copies it, builds it bigger/faster/better-logistics with more market budget.
At least let the creator sign over rights to their idea - even if the terms are unfair.
But once an object is in your hands. It should be free for you to do what you want with it for yourself. Deadmau5 legalities over his purrari should not be a thing.
Limit IP laws to 20 years.
Humans go from birth to being released into the public domain as an adult in roughly that time. Why are ideas somehow not in the Public Domain after a generation has grown up?
That way Jack Kirby gets to make his money. Jack's kids can live off his money. But Jack's ideas are free to use after doing their time.
I think GP is advocating exercising social skills rather than "live and let live" without interaction between you.
Get to know each other - BBQ or similar. Sure, you find out or confirm you hate some of their views/hobbies. But it also means you develop human empathy and usually find things you do agree on.
Maybe you hate their loud car. But you both hate the climbing vine on the fenceline and could spend a saturday morning fixing that together.
For example, I could call you a nitpicker. Are you picking nits? No.
Are you being conscientious? Paying attention to detail? Sure.
Which word would you want me to label you with?
As an employee do I want to be poached? No. I want to be approached, reasoned with, and make my own choices no matter what either employer "feels" about the situation.
"Poaching" a thing implies that a thing is owned and was unjustly taken.
Humans are employed, not owned. An employer<->employee relationship requires both parties to continue. If an employee breaks this relationship and makes a new one with another employer, there is no theft.
So why do we use the word "poach"? It does not convey what occurred!
My injection into the thread was to query whether a term having been used for a long time is reason enough to continue to use the word "poached" with its associated connotations. We have plenty of other words to use.
Deathworld (Harry Harrison) is a classic scifi trilogy from the '60s. It was kind of a "macho adventure fantasy", like James Bond in a scifi setting. Same author had a similar character style with his Stainless Steel Rat series.
The stories have twists and turns in the plot to keep it about as interesting as a James Bond plot. Which is to say, not that great, but entertaining enough now and pioneering-the-mainstream for the day.
If you absolutely know you can do it better. Then the procedure needs updating.
But the procedure might be what it is because of externalities relying on artifacts of the way this is done. Which to you is an "unknown unknown".
Take the somewhat-recently popular Kpop Demon Hunters on my "cloud storage" music player of choice. There was originally just a good, cleanly mixed version.
Then up pops a Netflix-version that had wrecked mixing. And when my kid types in the name it'll give them the "official" version - the fucked one.
And don't get me started on all the other versions of their songs that then pop up of people trying to ride the popularity wave to get some plays.
I have to curate what the "cloud storage" player gives me so hard I'm thinking of dropping it...
LLM generated picture with artists signature. That's no problem.
Person takes this picture and proceeds to share it around is the problem.
What annoys me is when "LLM hacks website!". Uh, it just went and did that completely unprompted? Nope.
Somebody ran it on a computer somewhere, gave the LLM some kind of prompt+access combination - however precise or vague - and THEN the LLM did a thing.
Power tools are well known for making human bits go missing. But nobody says "The angle grinder did it on it's own! Nobody is at fault!"
Maybe the person wasn't trained. Maybe it's the wrong tool for the job. Maybe the manufacturer of the tool is at fault for selling a product without appropriate safety guards. But the LLMs aren't doing self sustaining thinking for themselves just yet.
Science doesn't simply solve the problem you have. It has to walk the path to get there.
Please no. Enough with putting everyone into a box/label/profile. Have people be exposed to and interact with the multitudinal variety of the world!
Light where you look, as stable as your head, brightness variable as desired.
Anduril firmware can run in simple mode or get stupid complicated with things like candle, lightning, tactical flashing (think flashbang level of trying to disorient).
Good luck with that 3D printer hotend!

*can also use the light it self to recharge the battery within.
Even if the person can't claim the copyright of the image produced they ARE responsible for the use of their tools and what they do with the output.
In this case, they released an image with someone else's signature on it. That is wrong, the person should take the blame for that.
The person releasing the image may take it up with the AI service that their tooling led them into making such a mistake. But good luck with that in court...
Leaving the car to do what a car does. Travelling by car takes a lot of energy.
To keep current lifestyle across the population I figure we'll need both.
Unless you make it voluntary, because you yourself know.
Requiring it is crazy.
