  Cars are the ultimate symbol of freedom because you just get in and go wherever to do whatever.

  Pick nanna up? sure. Go buy her groceries? Sure. In the pouring rain? Ok. Pick up her dog from the vet? Yep. Drop by the garden store and grab 50kg of fertilizer? You bet.

  In such case most freedom has form of freight train.

  we’d still have to contend with the extreme energy use,

  Meanwhile people running it on Raspberry PI: “I made it consume 1W less, which is 30% improvement!”

  and the epistemic chaos of being able to generate convincing bullshit much quicker than it can be detected and flagged.

  It’s been this way long before modern AI.

  In Soviet Russia you pick a last name. Any last name. Except containing numbers, non-letter, more than one hyphen, rank or job title.

  And it’s also stupid from the company’s perspective. If someone has the flu and you have them come in - well - everyone will be sick and everyones performance will suffer.

  You underestimate capitalism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. And temperature does not depend on length. We already said it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  *insert technically correct*

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, maximum carried current is indeed invariant of length. I explained math behind it in lemm.ee/comment/17115060

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And more surface area for heat dissipation. lemm.ee/comment/17115060

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On a scale from “smoking 20 packs of cigarettes a day” to “stubbing your toe on a really heavy piece of furniture”, how dangerous would you subjectively rate daisy chaining extension cords

  As dangerous as one extension cord of their combined length. Don’t forget to verify that every cord is below load rating.

  AND NEVER COIL OR THERMALY INSULATE! Cords rely on convection for heat dissipation, and spooling and insulating reduces it, thus increasing insulation temperature until it melts and spontaneously combusts. This applies to extension cords in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And temperature difference to ambient temperature is thermal resistivity * dissipated power / (2\*π\*radius\*length). If you will plug dissipated power = resistance * current^2 and resistance into it, you will see, that temperature difference is invariant of length.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The longer the wire, the more heat it can dissipate, so no, you don’t need wire to be thicker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Inductance is not the reason here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! There is a video about this. Heat in spool of cord is trapped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t make sense. Temperature difference does not depends on length.
